• Abstract: Cache side channel attacks are a sophisticated and persistent threat that exploit vulnerabilities in modern processors to extract sensitive information. These attacks leverage weaknesses in shared computational resources, particularly the last level cache, to infer patterns in data access and execution flows, often bypassing traditional security defenses. Such attacks are especially dangerous as they can be executed remotely without requiring physical access to the victim's device. This study focuses on a specific class of these threats: fingerprinting attacks, where an adversary monitors and analyzes the behavior of co-located processes via cache side channels. This can potentially reveal confidential information, such as encryption keys or user activity patterns. A comprehensive threat model illustrates how attackers sharing computational resources with target systems exploit these side channels to compromise sensitive data. To mitigate such risks, a hybrid deep learning model is proposed for detecting cache side channel attacks. Its performance is compared with five widely used deep learning models: Multi-Layer Perceptron, Convolutional Neural Network, Simple Recurrent Neural Network, Long Short-Term Memory, and Gated Recurrent Unit. The experimental results demonstrate that the hybrid model achieves a detection rate of up to 99.96%. These findings highlight the limitations of existing models, the need for enhanced defensive mechanisms, and directions for future research to secure sensitive data against evolving side channel threats.

  We introduce textttPCAP-Backdoor, a novel technique that facilitates backdoor poisoning attacks on PCAP datasets. Experiments on real-world Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT) network traffic datasets demonstrate that attackers can effectively backdoor a model by poisoning as little as 1% or less of the entire training dataset.

  In adversarial machine learning, malicious users try to fool the deep learning model by inserting adversarial perturbation inputs into the model during its training or testing phase. We empirically test the black-box adversarial transferability phenomena in cyber attack detection systems. The results indicate that any deep learning model is highly susceptible to adversarial attacks, even if the attacker does not have access to the internal details of the target model.

  In this paper, we unveil a new vulnerability: the privacy backdoor attack. When a victim fine-tunes a backdoored model, their training data will be leaked at a significantly higher rate than if they had fine-tuned a typical model. Our findings highlight a critical privacy concern within the machine learning community and call for a reevaluation of safety protocols in the use of open-source pre-trained models.

  Deep neural networks, which form the basis of such systems, are highly susceptible to a specific type of attack, called adversarial attacks. A hacker can, even with bare minimum computation, generate adversarial examples (images or data points that belong to another class, but consistently fool the model to get misclassified as genuine) and crumble the basis of such algorithms. We show two effective techniques, namely Dropout and Denoising Autoencoders, and show their success in preventing such attacks from fooling the model.
