Using behaviour association or dependency to detect malicious code can improve the recognition rate of malicious code. A malicious code detection method based on precise behaviour dependency graph (PBDG) is proposed. We create a stain file index by ...

Rapid expansion of cloud computing raises several issues, including loss of quality of service (QoS) due to resource sharing and increased security concerns to virtual machines (VMs) resulting from co-residency with other vulnerable VMs on the same ...

Advanced technology is the cloud computing that has the ability to preserve massive amount of data and shares the data resources over the internet. Cloud computing has a wide range of applications like business fields, software infrastructure, government ...

Live migration is not supported by current Intel® SGX implementations. So, software emulation is unavoidable to enable deployed hypervisors migrating live virtual machines running SGX enclaves in the cloud. However, copying the running state of an enclave ...

Smart grids (SG) require data compression and encryption algorithms to communicate large amount of data in the secure way. However, existing algorithms are not appropriate for smart grid as they consume huge memory and take significant amount of execution ...

Availability, scalability, and security are the main concerns in a cloud environment and so it undergoes various challenges in the availability and security of sensitive and critical data stored in it. Multifactor authentication is one solution that ...

Data storage is one of the major applications of vehicular cloud computing (VCC) where the data is shared concurrently among many vehicles participating in vehicular communications. Integrity and non-repudiation are some of the important security ...

Power analysis attacks are a category of attacks against cryptographic implementations. In this case, the power consumption of a cryptosystem is analysed to extract its secret values such as secret keys and key streams. This has become a huge threat to ...

Many real problems involve the simultaneous security of computer networks and systems as it penetrates all areas of our daily lives. The purpose of attack graph analysis is to be able to protect computer systems and networks against attacks related to ...

Recently, developers use obfuscation techniques to make their code difficult to understand or analyse, especially malware developers. In Android applications, if the application is obfuscated, it is hard to retrieve the exact source code after applying ...

Recent years have witnessed a noticeable growth in the development of stealthy Android-based malware which has led to a pressing need for accurate malware detection systems. In this paper, we propose a graph-based ensemble classifier - GENDroid that ...

Vulnerabilities in information systems (ISs) are high-value assets to a cybercriminal. These vulnerabilities can be targeted for exploitation which results in unauthorised access to the IS. Due to the increasing demand of preventing cyber-crimes, ...

To date, several software diversity techniques have been proposed as defence to buffer overflow attacks. The existing diversity techniques sometimes rely on hardware support or modifications to operating system which makes them difficult to deploy. ...

Production scheduling and vehicle routing are integrated to solve a task scheduling problem with a timing requirement in cloud computing. The issues of multiple compute resources for a lot of tasks are considered. In the tasks scheduling problem, each ...

In recent years, the damage cost caused by malwares is huge. Thus, malware detection is a big challenge. The task of specifying malware takes a huge amount of time and engineering effort since it currently requires the manual study of the malicious code. ...

Steganography is the art of concealing secret information within digital media. In this paper, an adaptive steganographic scheme based on Faber-Schauder discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is proposed. Data is hidden in the details coefficients, which are ...

Android's security is one of the hot research topics in the current days. This is mainly due to the leakage of user's privacy information from third-party apps on mobile. Even after the permission model defined by Android we all are witnessing leakage of ...

The huge dependability on software systems has led to the need of reliable software in a short span of time. One of the ways to achieve this is to provide a series of versions of the software system. Thus, firms release the first software version with the ...

Information leakage and memory disclosure are major threats to the security in modern computer systems. If an attacker is able to obtain the binary-code of an application, it is possible to reverse-engineer the source-code, uncover vulnerabilities, craft ...

Due to the rising popularity of software-based systems, software engineers are required to continuously monitor the software to have deep insights about the loopholes and keep a close check on the vulnerability discovery process. Over time of each module ...
