Autonomous Cyber Defense for Resilient Cyber-Physical Systems
… research, we design and analyze resilient cyber-physical systems (CPSs) under high network dynamics, adversarial attacks, and various uncertainties. We focus on three key system attributes to build resilient CPSs by developing a suite of the autonomous cyber defense mechanisms. First, we …

Hardware-Aided Privacy Protection and Cyber Defense for IoT
… leakage in the IoT era and follows with adding defense layers to the IoT system with attackers gaining increasing capabilities. The first question we ask ourselves is "what new privacy concerns do IoT bring". We focus on discovering information leakage beyond people's common sense from even …

Selection of the best security controls for rapid development of enterprise-level cyber security
State-supported cyber attacks, cyber espionage campaigns, and hacktivist movements have forced many states to accelerate their cyber defense development in order to achieve at least a minimum level of protection against expanding threats of cyber space. As with any other development effort, cyber …

In the Shadow of Prompts: Adversarial Attacks and Model Cloning in Large Language Models
… automation, military analytics, and cyber-defense. Since most of these services are offered through application programming interfaces (APIs) that still expose full or top-k logits and lack mature safeguards, they present a serious, often overlooked attack surface. Earlier work has …

Computer Network Attacks and the Contemporary Jus ad Bellum
… started to consider the emerging possibility of cyber-warfare, and how international law would deal with such a threat. Ideally, the international community would have already reached a consensus on how to answer the questions that are presented and contemplated in this thesis. However, Computer …
