SoK: A Comprehensive Analysis of the Current Status of Neural Tangent Generalization Attacks with Research Directions

There is recently a serious issue that Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) training uses more and more unauthorized data. A clean-label generalization attack, one type of data poisoning attacks, has been suggested to address this issue. The Neural Tangent Generalization Attack (NTGA) is considered as the first well-known clean-label generalization attack under the black-box settings, which provided an unprecedented step in data protection approaches. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive analysis on the state-of-the-art of NTGA; to the best of our knowledge, this is the first thorough analysis regarding NTGA. First, we provide a classification of attacks against DNNs with their explanations and relations to NTGA. Then, this paper presents a taxonomy of black-box attacks and demonstrate that the NTGA is the first clean-label generalization attack under the black-box setting. We further analyze the existing studies of NTGA and give a comprehensive comparisons of their findings by conducting our own experiments to verify these findings. Moreover, our extensive experiments show that NTGA is vulnerable to adversarial training and image transformations, and applying linear separability to NTGA-generated images makes them more susceptible to such vulnerablities. We present the pros and cons of NTGA and suggest ways to improve NTGA robustness based on our analysis. Our further experiments indicate that several recently proposed clean-label generalization attacks outperform NTGA on data protection. Finally, we unveil the necessity of further research with future research insights on NTGA.

Advancing DDoS Attack Detection: A Synergistic Approach Using Deep Residual Neural Networks and Synthetic Oversampling

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks pose a significant threat to the stability and reliability of online systems. Effective and early detection of such attacks is pivotal for safeguarding the integrity of networks. In this work, we introduce an enhanced approach for DDoS attack detection by leveraging the capabilities of Deep Residual Neural Networks (ResNets) coupled with synthetic oversampling techniques. Because of the inherent class imbalance in many cyber-security datasets, conventional methods often struggle with false negatives, misclassifying subtle DDoS patterns as benign. By applying the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) to the CICIDS dataset, we balance the representation of benign and malicious data points, enabling the model to better discern intricate patterns indicative of an attack. Our deep residual network, tailored for this specific task, further refines the detection process. Experimental results on a real-world dataset demonstrate that our approach achieves an accuracy of 99.98%, significantly outperforming traditional methods. This work underscores the potential of combining advanced data augmentation techniques with deep learning models to bolster cyber-security defenses.

A Survey on Security Attacks and Defense Techniques for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

Autonomous Vehicle has been transforming intelligent transportation systems. As telecommunication technology improves, autonomous vehicles are getting connected to each other and to infrastructures, forming Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs). CAVs will help humans achieve safe, efficient, and autonomous transportation systems. However, CAVs will face significant security challenges because many of their components are vulnerable to attacks, and a successful attack on a CAV may have significant impacts on other CAVs and infrastructures due to their communications. In this paper, we conduct a survey on 184 papers from 2000 to 2020 to understand state-of-the-art CAV attacks and defense techniques. This survey first presents a comprehensive overview of security attacks and their corresponding countermeasures on CAVs. We then discuss the details of attack models based on the targeted CAV components of attacks, access requirements, and attack motives. Finally, we identify some current research challenges and trends from the perspectives of both academic research and industrial development. Based on our studies of academic literature and industrial publications, we have not found any strong connection between academic research and industry's implementation on CAV-related security issues. While efforts from CAV manufacturers to secure CAVs have been reported, there is no evidence to show that CAVs on the market have the ability to defend against some novel attack models that the research community has recently found. This survey may give researchers and engineers a better understanding of the current status and trend of CAV security for CAV future improvement.

An Adversarial Attack Defending System for Securing In-Vehicle Networks

In a modern vehicle, there are over seventy Electronics Control Units (ECUs). For an in-vehicle network, ECUs communicate with each other by following a standard communication protocol, such as Controller Area Network (CAN). However, an attacker can easily access the in-vehicle network to compromise ECUs through a WLAN or Bluetooth. Though there are various deep learning (DL) methods suggested for securing in-vehicle networks, recent studies on adversarial examples have shown that attackers can easily fool DL models. In this research, we further explore adversarial examples in an in-vehicle network. We first discover and implement two adversarial attack models that are harmful to a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM)-based detection model used in the in-vehicle network. Then, we propose an Adversarial Attack Defending System (AADS) for securing an in-vehicle network. Specifically, we focus on brake-related ECUs in an in-vehicle network. Our experimental results demonstrate that adversaries can easily attack the LSTM-based detection model with a success rate of over 98%, and the proposed AADS achieves over 99% accuracy for detecting adversarial attacks.
