This talk will cover the RESIP detection technique based on Round Trip Time (RTT) measurements. We present the successful results obtained from applying this technique in both semi-controlled and real-world scenarios. In the second part of the presentation, we reveal new insights into RESIP inner functioning and modus operandi. We present the similarities and differences of the ecosystems associated with four RESIP providers (geographic distribution, types, and management of machines used). Read More

In this talk, Dr. Liu will share his thoughts on the detection of different attacks through modeling the execution behavior of an application using low-level hardware information. Dr. Liu's approaches can provide more flexibility for detection schemes by performing dynamic behavioral analysis at run-time. With anomaly detection methods, the abnormal behaviors that deviate from benign behaviors at run-time can be flagged and captured. Read More

This talk will cover the malware analysis process applied to memory forensic science and the current problems and open challenges faced during this process, presenting the latest advances made by his research group in this area. In particular, Dr. Rodríguez will show how the memory acquisition and analysis process is performed on a memory dump. Read More

In this talk, Dr. Shinde presents a new smartphone architecture that maintains compatibility with the existing smartphone ecosystem but allows the balancing of the control over the phones. The proposed architecture, named TEEtime implements novel TEE-based mechanisms that allow the users to flexibly choose which resources (including peripherals) to dedicate to different isolated domains to securely execute applications.

Recently, the Fifth Generation (5G) wireless network has become a major carrier for wireless communications that supports the Internet of Everything and large-scale heterogeneous connections. Nowadays, 5G wireless networks have been deployed in many countries in the world, such as Qatar Read More

In recent years, IoT traffic proliferation has been exponential and is poised for further escalation. With IoT devices being vulnerable targets for cyber-attacks, there is an urgent need for advanced and robust security tools in this vertical. Deep learning (DL) methods show promise for developing network intrusion detection systems (NIDSs) tailored to this challenge Read More

Software copyright infringement and trade secret theft are problems of growing concern. Software code theft may be purposeful to gain an unfair advantage over a competitor, or it may be unintended as when a programmer takes code from one project and uses it in another project without first obtaining the appropriate rights Read More
