Network on Chip Security - IoT technology is finding new applications every day and everywhere in our daily lives. With that, come new use cases with new challenges in terms of device and data security. One of such challenges arises from the fact that many IoT devices/nodes are no longer being deployed on owners’ premises, but rather on public or private property other than the owner’s. With potential physical access to the IoT node, adversaries can launch many attacks that circumvent conventional protection methods. In this paper, we propose Secure SoC (SecSoC), a secure system-on-chip architecture that mitigates such attacks. This include logical memory dump attacks, bus snooping attacks, and compromised operating systems. SecSoC relies on two main mechanisms, (1) providing security extensions to the compute engine that runs the user application without changing its instruction set, (2) adding a security management unit (SMU) that provide HW security primitives for encryption, hashing, random number generators, and secrets store (keys, certificates, etc.). SecSoC ensures that no secret or sensitive data can leave the SoC IC in plaintext. SecSoC is being implemented in Bluespec SystemVerilog. The experimental results will reveal the area, power, and cycle time overhead of these security extensions. Overall performance (total execution time) will also be evaluated using IoT benchmarks.

Network on Chip Security - The Network-on-Chip (NoC) is the communication heart in Multiprocessors System-on-Chip (MPSoC). It offers an efficient and scalable interconnection platform, which makes it a focal point of potential security threats. Due to outsourcing design, the NoC can be infected with a malicious circuit, known as Hardware Trojan (HT), to leak sensitive information or degrade the system’s performance and function. An HT can form a security threat by consciously dropping packets from the NoC, structuring a Black Hole Router (BHR) attack. This paper presents an end-to-end secure interconnection network against the BHR attack. The proposed scheme is energy-efficient to detect the BHR in runtime with 1\% and 2\% average throughput and energy consumption overheads, respectively.

Network on Chip Security - Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Arrays (CGRA) implemented using FPGA are widely applied due to the portability and compatibility. As an evolvable hardware (EHW) platform, it also faces hardware security problems, among which hardware Trojans (HTs) is the most prominent threat. HTs are malicious hardware components. Once implanted in the route units (RUs) of the network-on-chip (NoC) in CGRA, it will leak confidential information or destroy the entire system. However, few studies have focused on HT mitigation in RUs of NoC in CGRA. To this end, we present an evolutionary algorithm (EA)-based method to mitigate HT attacks in NoC of CGRA. Specifically, we employ the EA to explore generating the circuit structures that do not contain HT-infected RUs. In the simulation experiments built using Python, this paper reports the experimental results for two target evolutionary circuits in NoC and outlines the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Network Intrusion Detection - Aiming at the problems of low detection accuracy, high false detection rate and high missed detection rate of traditional Intelligent Substation (I-S) secondary system network Intrusion Detection (I-D) methods, a semantic enhanced network I-D method for I-S secondary system is proposed. First of all, through the analysis of the secondary system network of I-S and the existing security risks, the information network security protection architecture is built based on network I-D. Then, the overall structure of I-S secondary network I-D is constructed by integrating CNN and BiLSTM. Finally, the semantic analysis of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is introduced to enhance the network I-D model, which greatly improves the detection accuracy. The proposed method is compared with the other two methods under the same conditions through simulation experiments. The results show that the detection accuracy of the proposed method is the highest (95.02\%) in the face of 10 different types of attack traffic, and the false detection rate and missed detection rate are the lowest (1.3\% and 3.8\% respectively). The algorithm performance is better than the other three comparison algorithms.

Network Intrusion Detection - With the continuous development of deep learning technology, the phenolic model of intrusion detection based on deep learning has become a research hotspot. Traditional network attack detection mainly relies on static rules to detect network behavior, so it is difficult to dynamically adapt to the continuous development of network attacks. While deep learning technology is more and more used in the field of security, the text is based on deep learning classification network to design intrusion detection classification model. The appropriate data processing technology is used to preprocess the original intrusion data, and the processed data is used to train the network model. Finally, the performance of the model is tested to achieve high classification accuracy.

Network Intrusion Detection - Intrusion detection is important in the defense in depth network security framework and a hot topic in computer network security in recent years. In this paper, an effective method for anomaly intrusion detection with low overhead and high efficiency is presented and applied to monitor the abnormal behavior of processes. The method is based on rough set theory and capable of extracting a set of detection rules with the minimum size to form a normal behavior model from the record of system call sequences generated during the normal execution of a process. Based on the network security knowledge base system, this paper proposes an intrusion detection model based on the network security knowledge base system, including data filtering, attack attempt analysis and situation assessment engine. In this model, evolutionary self organizing mapping is used to discover multi - target attacks of the same origin; The association rules obtained by time series analysis method are used to correlate online alarm events to identify complex attacks scattered in time; Finally, the corresponding evaluation indexes and corresponding quantitative evaluation methods are given for host level and LAN system level threats respectively. Compared with the existing IDS, this model has a more complete structure, richer knowledge available, and can more easily find cooperative attacks and effectively reduce the false positive rate.

Network Intrusion Detection - With the development of computing technology, data security and privacy protection have also become the focus of researchers; along with this comes the issue of network link security and reliability, and these issues have become the focus of discussion when studying network security. Intrusion detection is an effective means to assist in network malicious traffic detection and maintain network stability; to meet the ever-changing demand for network traffic identification, intrusion detection models have undergone a transformation from traditional intrusion detection models to machine learning intrusion detection models to deep intrusion detection models. The efficiency and superiority of deep learning have been proven in fields such as image processing, but there are still some problems in the field of network security intrusion detection: the models are not targeted when processing data, the models have poor generalization ability, etc. The combinatorial neural network proposed in this paper can effectively propose a solution to the problems of existing models, and the CL-IDS model proposed in this paper has a better performance on the KDDCUP99 dataset as demonstrated by relevant experiments.

Network Coding - Precise binary code vulnerability detection is a significant research topic in software security. Currently, the majority of software is released in binary form, and the corresponding vulnerability detection approaches for binary code are desired. Existing deep learning-based detection techniques can only detect binary code vulnerabilities but cannot precisely identify the types of vulnerabilities. This paper proposes a Binary code-based Hybrid neural network for Multiclass Vulnerability Detection, dubbed BHMVD. BHMVD generates binary slices according to the control dependence and data dependence of library/API function calls, and then extracts syntax features from binary slices to generate type slices, which can help identify vulnerability types. This paper uses a hybrid neural network of CNN-BLSTM to extract vulnerability features from binary and type slices. The former extracts local features, while the latter extracts global features. Experiment results on 19 types of vulnerabilities show that BHMVD is effective for binary code-based multiclass vulnerability detection, and using a hybrid neural network can improve detection ability.

Network Coding - Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are drawing enormous attention in both commercial and military applications to facilitate dynamic wireless communications and deliver seamless connectivity due to their flexible deployment, inherent line-ofsight (LOS) air-to-ground (A2G) channels, and high mobility. These advantages, however, render UAV-enabled wireless communication systems susceptible to eavesdropping attempts. Hence, there is a strong need to protect the wireless channel through which most of the UAV-enabled applications share data with each other. There exist various error correction techniques such as Low Density Parity Check (LDPC), polar codes that provide safe and reliable data transmission by exploiting the physical layer but require high transmission power. Also, the security gap achieved by these error-correction techniques must be reduced to improve the security level. In this paper, we present deep learning (DL) enabled punctured LDPC codes to provide secure and reliable transmission of data for UAVs through the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel irrespective of the computational power and channel state information (CSI) of the Eavesdropper. Numerical result analysis shows that the proposed scheme reduces the Bit Error Rate (BER) at Bob effectively as compared to Eve and the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) per bit value of 3.5 dB is achieved at the maximum threshold value of BER. Also, the security gap is reduced by 47.22 \% as compared to conventional LDPC codes.

Network Coding - Network Coding (NC) enabled cellular networks can be penetrated by faulty packets that deviates the target nodes from decoding packets received. Even a little amount of pollution can be very quickly spread to remaining packets because of the resource exploitation at intermediary nodes. Numerous methods for protecting against data pollution attacks have been developed in the last few years. Another popular alternative is the Homomorphic Message Authentication Code (HMAC). Hackers can target HMAC by tampering with the end-of-packet tags, known as tag pollution assaults, in order to evade detection. To prevent data pollution and tag pollution assaults, a HMAC-based method can be used using two separate MAC tags. In the 5G wireless communication, small cells and collaborative networks have been extensively investigated. The use of network coding in wireless networks can increase throughput while consuming less power. Strong integrity procedures are essential for a coding environment to combat threats like pollution assaults and take full advantage of network coding. Latency and computation overhead can be reduced while maintaining security by modifying and optimising the existing integrity algorithms. This research focuses on analysing security threats in NC enabled small cells.

Network Coding - We propose and investigate a novel scheme of delay attack-resistant network based on optical code division multiple access (OCDMA). The bit error rate (BER) is analyzed theoretically, and the closed expression of BER is obtained. The system has a corresponding optimal threshold to minimize the BER in different cases. At the same transmission power, the BER will decrease when the code weight increases. Furthermore, the maximum number of users is different with different code weight and transmission power. Optisystem simulation results show that OCDMA system has delay attack-resistant performance, which can effectively improve the physical layer security of optical network.

Network Coding - This paper proposes a hybrid encryption scheme for multi-relay (MR) physical-layer network coding (PNC). Based on the three-relay (3R) bidirectional communication model, first, we discuss the throughput performance of the PNC compared with the traditional scheme (TS) and network coding (NC) system. Through the analysis of transmission efficiency, the superior throughput of the PNC system is demonstrated. Then, to further improve the security of the communication system, we give a scheme of advanced encryption standard (AES) and RivestShamir-Adleman (RSA) hybrid encryption, namely AR hybrid encryption. Finally, we embed the AR hybrid encryption into the multi-relay PNC communication system. At relay nodes of the ARPNC system, we focus on solving the problem of signal mapping. In the meantime, to reduce the performance loss caused by the increase of relay nodes, we exploit Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) code to enhance the decoding accuracy. The experimental results and security analysis show that the proposed scheme can boost the system throughput and transmission dependability and stronger the security of the communication system.

Named Data Network Security - Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming an important approach to accomplish healthcare monitoring where critical medical data retrieval is essential in a secure and private manner. Nevertheless, IoT devices have constrained resources. Therefore, acquisition of efficient, secure and private data is very challenging. The current research on applying architecture of Named Data Networking (NDN) to IoT design reveals very promising results. Therefore, we are motivated to combine NDN and IoT, which we call NDN-IoT architecture, for a healthcare application. Inspired by the idea, we propose a healthcare monitoring groundwork integrating NDN concepts into IoT in Contiki NG OS at the network layer that we call µNDN as it is a micro and light-weight implementation.
