Rethinking Cybersecurity Ontology Classification and Evaluation: Towards a Credibility-Centered Framework

This paper analyzes the proliferation of cybersecurity ontologies, arguing that this surge cannot be explained solely by technical shortcomings related to quality, but also by a credibility deficit - a lack of trust, endorsement, and adoption by users. This conclusion is based on our first...

COGNITION: From Evaluation to Defense against Multimodal LLM CAPTCHA Solvers

This paper studies how multimodal large language models MLLMs undermine the security guarantees of visual CAPTCHA. We identify the attack surface where an adversary can cheaply automate CAPTCHA solving using off-the-shelf models. We evaluate 7 leading commercial and open-source MLLMs across 18...

TopoReformer: Mitigating Adversarial Attacks Using Topological Purification in OCR Models

Adversarially perturbed images of text can cause sophisticated OCR systems to produce misleading or incorrect transcriptions from seemingly invisible changes to humans. Some of these perturbations even survive physical capture, posing security risks to high-stakes applications such as document...
