Improving Router Security Using BERT

Previous work on home router security has shown that using system calls to train a transformer-based language model built on a BERT-style encoder using contrastive learning is effective in detecting several types of malware, but the performance remains limited at low false positive rates. In this...

Engineering Attack Vectors and Detecting Anomalies in Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing AM is rapidly integrating into critical sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and healthcare. However, this cyber-physical convergence introduces new attack surfaces, especially at the interface between computer-aided design CAD and machine execution layers. In this work, ...

Self-Supervised Learning of Graph Representations for Network Intrusion Detection

Detecting intrusions in network traffic is a challenging task, particularly under limited supervision and constantly evolving attack patterns. While recent works have leveraged graph neural networks for network intrusion detection, they often decouple representation learning from anomaly detectio...

AttentionGuard: Transformer-Based Misbehavior Detection for Secure Vehicular Platoons

Vehicle platooning, with vehicles traveling in close formation coordinated through Vehicle-to-Everything V2X communications, offers significant benefits in fuel efficiency and road utilization. However, it is vulnerable to sophisticated falsification attacks by authenticated insiders that can...
