Attacks based on data poisoning, with the aim to lower the integrity or availability of a model, showed high success rates, while barely reducing the classifiers accuracy - particularly against Deep Learning approaches such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). While Deep Learning has become the most prominent technique for many pattern recognition tasks, feature-extraction based systems still have their applications - and there is surprisingly little research dedicated to the vulnerability of those approaches. We address this gap and show preliminary results in evaluating poisoning attacks against feature-extraction based systems, and compare them to CNNs, on a traffic sign classification dataset. Our findings show that feature-extraction based ML systems require higher poisoning percentages to achieve similar backdoor success, and also need a consistent (static) backdoor position to work.","PeriodicalId":102306,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twelfth ACM Conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130548729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ray, Haonan Wang","doi":"10.1145/3508398.3511523","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3508398.3511523","url":null,"abstract":"Almost all aspects of modern automobiles are controlled by embedded computers, known as Electronic Control Units (ECUs). ECUs are connected with each other over a Controller Area Network (CAN) network. ECUs communicate with each other and control the automobile's behavior using messages. Heavy vehicles, unlike passenger cars, are constructed using ECUs manufactured by different Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). For reasons of interoperability, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) mandates that all ECUs should communicate using the standardized SAE-J1939 protocol that gives semantics to the signals transmitted on the CAN network. Security concerns have been historically ignored in protocols and standards. Consequently, an ECU having malicious code can spoof other ECUs, e.g., a message can be injected through the OBD-II port or the telematics unit into the internal network to interfere with the behavior of the vehicle. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have been proposed and utilized to detect various types of security attacks. However, such systems are only capable of detecting attacks and cannot mitigate them. A compromised ECU may generate invalid data values; even if such invalid values are detected, there is still a need to counter their effects. Almost all prior works focus on detecting attacks. We demonstrate how to make the vehicle resilient to attacks. We analyze the log files of real driving scenarios and show ECUs are significantly dependent on other ECUs to operate. We demonstrate that parameters of a compromised ECU can be reconstructed from those of other non-compromised ECUs to allow the vehicle to continue operation and make it resilient to attacks. We achieve this by modeling the behavior of an ECU using the multivariate Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network. We then reconstruct compromised ECU values using information obtained from trustworthy ECUs. Despite some levels of errors, our model can reconstruct trustworthy data values that can be substituted for values generated by compromised ECUs. The error between the reconstructed values and the correct ones is less than 6% of the operating range for the compromised ECU, which is significantly low and can be substituted. Our proposed approach makes the vehicle resilient without requiring changes to the internal architecture.","PeriodicalId":102306,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twelfth ACM Conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116159463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the years, it has seen increasing applications such as in preventing transaction fraud, account takeovers, and identity theft. However, due to the variable nature of keystroke dynamics, a user's typing patterns may vary on a different keyboard or in a different keyboard language setting, which may affect the system accuracy. In other words, an algorithm modeled with data collected using a mechanical keyboard may perform significantly differently when tested with an ergonomic keyboard. Similarly, an algorithm modeled with data collected in one language may perform significantly differently when tested with another language. Hence, there is a need to study the impact of multiple keyboards and multiple languages on keystroke dynamics performance. This motivated us to develop two free-text keystroke dynamics datasets. The first is a multi-keyboard keystroke dataset comprising of four (4) physical keyboards - mechanical, ergonomic, membrane, and laptop keyboards - and the second is a bilingual keystroke dataset in both English and Chinese languages. Data were collected from a total of 86 participants using a non-intrusive web-based keylogger in a semi-controlled setting. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first multi-keyboard and bilingual keystroke datasets, as well as the data collection software, to be made publicly available for research purposes. The usefulness of our datasets was demonstrated by evaluating the performance of two state-of-the-art free-text algorithms.","PeriodicalId":102306,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twelfth ACM Conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115482422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the COVID-19 pandemic, different systems have been developed that enable decentralized contact tracing on mobile devices. Several of the systems provide strong security and privacy guarantees. However, they also inherit weaknesses of the underlying wireless protocols. In particular, systems using Bluetooth LE beacons are vulnerable to so-called wormhole attacks, in which an attacker tunnels the beacons between different locations and creates false contacts between individuals. While this vulnerability has been widely discussed, the risk of successful attacks in practice is still largely unknown. In this paper, we quantitatively analyze the risk of wormhole attacks for the exposure notification system of Google and Apple, which builds on Bluetooth LE. To this end, we dissect and model the communication process of the system and identify factors contributing to the risk. Through a causal and empirical analysis, we find that the incidence and infectivity of the traced disease drive the risk of wormhole attacks, whereas technical aspects only play a minor role. Given the infectious delta variant of COVID-19, the risk of successful attacks thus increases and may pose a threat to digital contact tracing. As a remedy, we propose countermeasures that can be integrated into existing contact tracing systems and significantly reduce the success of wormhole attacks.","PeriodicalId":102306,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twelfth ACM Conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy","volume":"345 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115970826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In most existing searchable encryption that supports IoT, all the documents that match a queried keyword are returned to the admin. This is not practical as IoT devices continuously upload data. We formally name our framework asRanked Searchable Public-Key Encryption (RS-PKE). We also implemented a prototype of RS-PKE and tested it in the Amazon EC2 cloud using the RFC dataset.

At the core of setting up a secure channel is secure key exchange, the process of two IoT devices securely agreeing on a common session key before they communicate. While compared to using PKC, key exchange using SKC is more resource-aware for IoT environments, it requires either a pre-shared secret or trusted intermediaries between the two devices; neither assumption is realistic in IoT. In this paper, we relax the above assumptions and introduce a new intermediary-based secure key exchange protocol for IoT devices that do not support PKC. With a design that is lightweight and deployable in IoT, our protocol fundamentally departs from existing intermediary-based solutions in that (1) it leverages intermediary parties that can be malicious and (2) it can detect malicious intermediary parties. We provide a formal proof that our protocol is secure and conduct a theoretical analysis to show the failure probability of our protocol is easily negligible with a reasonable setup and its malicious helper detection probability can be 1.0 even when a malicious helper only tampers a small number of messages. We implemented our protocol and our experimental results show that our protocol significantly improves the computation time and energy cost. Dependent on the IoT device type (Raspberry Pi, Arduino Due, or Sam D21) and the PKC algorithms to compare against (ECDH, DH, or RSA), our protocol is 2.3 to 1591 times faster on one of the two devices and 0.7 to 4.67 times faster on the other.","PeriodicalId":102306,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twelfth ACM Conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123463868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there exists techniques to mutate such features such that malicious PDFs are able to bypass these classifiers. In this work, we investigated three known attacks: Mimicry, Mimicry+, and Reverse Mimicry to compare how effective they are in evading classifiers in Hidost and Mimicus.
