• Abstract summary: A new Deep Neural Network based user activity detection framework is proposed to identify fine grained user activities performed on mobile applications. The proposed framework uses a time window based approach to divide the traffic flow of an activity into segments, so that in-app activities can be identified just by observing only a fraction of the activity related traffic.

• Abstract: Despite the widespread use of encryption techniques to provide confidentiality over Internet communications, mobile device users are still susceptible to privacy and security risks. In this paper, a new Deep Neural Network (DNN) based user activity detection framework is proposed to identify fine grained user activities performed on mobile applications (known as in-app activities) from a sniffed encrypted Internet traffic stream. One of the challenges is that there are countless applications, and it is practically impossible to collect and train a DNN model using all possible data from them. Therefore, in this work we exploit the probability distribution of DNN output layer to filter the data from applications that are not considered during the model training (i.e., unknown data). The proposed framework uses a time window based approach to divide the traffic flow of an activity into segments, so that in-app activities can be identified just by observing only a fraction of the activity related traffic. Our tests have shown that the DNN based framework has demonstrated an accuracy of 90% or above in identifying previously trained in-app activities and an average accuracy of 79% in identifying previously untrained in-app activity traffic as unknown data when this framework is employed.

  We formulate the protection of released datasets as verifying whether they are adopted for training a (suspicious) third-party model. We propose to embed external patterns via backdoor watermarking for the ownership verification to protect them. Specifically, we exploit poison-only backdoor attacks ($e.g.$, BadNets) for dataset watermarking and design a hypothesis-test-guided method for dataset verification.

  Mobile Crowdsensing (MCS) is a sensing paradigm that has transformed the way that various service providers collect, process, and analyze data. Various threats, such as data poisoning, clogging task attacks and fake sensing tasks adversely affect the performance of MCS systems. In this work, Self Organizing Feature Map (SOFM), an artificial neural network that is trained in an unsupervised manner, is utilized to pre-cluster the legitimate data in the dataset.

  Neural networks (NNs) are widely used for object classification in autonomous driving. NNs can fail on input data not well represented by the training dataset, known as out-of-distribution (OOD) data. This paper presents a method for determining whether inputs are OOD, which does not require OOD data during training and does not increase the computational cost of inference.
