Deep neural networks have been widely applied in various critical domains. However, they are vulnerable to the threat of adversarial examples. It is challenging to make deep neural networks inherently robust to adversarial examples, while adversarial example detection offers advantages such as not affecting model classification accuracy. This paper introduces common adversarial attack methods and provides an explanation of adversarial example detection. Recent advances in adversarial example detection methods are categorized into two major classes: statistical methods and adversarial detection networks. The evolutionary relationship among different detection methods is discussed. Finally, the current research status in this field is summarized, and potential future directions are highlighted.

With the increasing number and types of APP vulnerabilities, the detection technology and methods need to be enriched and personalized according to different types of security vulnerabilities. Therefore, a single detection technology can no longer meet the needs of business security diversity. First of all, the new detection method needs to clarify the relevant features of APP business security; Secondly, the new detection method needs to re-adapt the features related to APP business security; Thirdly, the new detection method needs to be trained and applied according to different AI algorithms. In view of this, we designed an APP privacy information leakage detection scheme based on deep learning. This scheme specifically selects business security-related features for the type of privacy information leakage vulnerability of APP, and then performs feature processing and adaptation to become the input parameters of CNN network algorithm. Finally, we train and call the CNN network algorithm. We selected the APP of the Telecom Tianyi Space App Store for experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of our APP privacy information leakage detection system based on CNN network. The experimental results show that the detection accuracy of our proposed detection system has achieved the desired effect.

The world has seen a quick transition from hard devices for local storage to massive virtual data centers, all possible because of cloud storage technology. Businesses have grown to be scalable, meeting consumer demands on every turn. Cloud computing has transforming the way we do business making IT more efficient and cost effective that leads to new types of cybercrimes. Securing the data in cloud is a challenging task. Cloud security is a mixture of art and science. Art is to create your own technique and technologies in such a way that the user should be authenticated. Science is because you have to come up with ways of securing your application. Data security refers to a broad set of policies, technologies and controls deployed to protect data application and the associated infrastructure of cloud computing. It ensures that the data has not been accessed by any unauthorized person. Cloud storage systems are considered to be a network of distributed data centers which typically uses cloud computing technologies like virtualization and offers some kind of interface for storing data. Virtualization is the process of grouping the physical storage from multiple network storage devices so that it looks like a single storage device.Storing the important data in the cloud has become an essential argument in the computer territory. The cloud enables the user to store the data efficiently and access the data securely. It avoids the basic expenditure on hardware, software and maintenance. Protecting the cloud data has become one of the burdensome tasks in today’s environment. Our proposed scheme "Certificateless Compressed Data Sharing in Cloud through Partial Decryption" (CCDSPD) makes use of Shared Secret Session (3S) key for encryption and double decryption process to secure the information in the cloud. CC does not use pairing concept to solve the key escrow problem. Our scheme provides an efficient secure way of sharing data to the cloud and reduces the time consumption nearly by 50 percent as compared to the existing mCL-PKE scheme in encryption and decryption process.Distributed Cloud Environment (DCE) has the ability to store the da-ta and share it with others. One of the main issues arises during this is, how safe the data in the cloud while storing and sharing. Therefore, the communication media should be safe from any intruders residing between the two entities. What if the key generator compromises with intruders and shares the keys used for both communication and data? Therefore, the proposed system makes use of the Station-to-Station (STS) protocol to make the channel safer. The concept of encrypting the secret key confuses the intruders. Duplicate File Detector (DFD) checks for any existence of the same file before uploading. The scheduler as-signs the work of generating keys to the key manager who has less task to complete or free of any task. By these techniques, the proposed system makes time-efficient, cost-efficient, and resource efficient compared to the existing system. The performance is analysed in terms of time, cost and resources. It is necessary to safeguard the communication channel between the entities before sharing the data. In this process of sharing, what if the key manager’s compromises with intruders and reveal the information of the user’s key that is used for encryption. The process of securing the key by using the user’s phrase is the key concept used in the proposed system "Secure Storing and Sharing of Data in Cloud Environment using User Phrase" (S3DCE). It does not rely on any key managers to generate the key instead the user himself generates the key. In order to provide double security, the encryption key is also encrypted by the public key derived from the user’s phrase. S3DCE guarantees privacy, confidentiality and integrity of the user data while storing and sharing. The proposed method S3DCE is more efficient in terms of time, cost and resource utilization compared to the existing algorithm DaSCE (Data Security for Cloud Environment with Semi Trusted Third Party) and DACESM (Data Security for Cloud Environment with Scheduled Key Managers).For a cloud to be secure, all of the participating entities must be secure. The security of the assets does not solely depend on an individual s security measures. The neighbouring entities may provide an opportunity to an attacker to bypass the user s defences. The data may compromise due to attacks by other users and nodes within the cloud. Therefore, high security measures are required to protect data within the cloud. Cloudsim allows to create a network that contains a set of Intelligent Sense Point (ISP) spread across an area. Each ISPs will have its own unique position and will be different from other ISPs. Cloud is a cost-efficient solution for the distribution of data but has the challenge of a data breach. The data can be compromised of attacks of ISPs. Therefore, in OSNQSC (Optimized Selection of Nodes for Enhanced in Cloud Environment), an optimized method is proposed to find the best ISPs to place the data fragments that considers the channel quality, distance and the remaining energy of the ISPs. The fragments are encrypted before storing. OSNQSC is more efficient in terms of total upload time, total download time, throughput, storage and memory consumption of the node with the existing Betweenness centrality, Eccentricity and Closeness centrality methods of DROPS (Division and Replication of Data in the Cloud for Optimal Performance and Security).

Cloud computing is a nascent paradigm in the field of data technology and computer science which is predicated on the use of the Internet, often known as the World Wide Web. One of the prominent concerns within this field is the security aspects of cloud computing. Contrarily, ensuring the preservation of access to the protection of sensitive and confidential information inside financial organizations, banks and other pertinent enterprises holds significant significance. This holds significant relevance. The efficacy of the security measures in providing assurance is not infallible and can be compromised by malevolent entities. In the current study, our objective is to examine the study about the security measures through the use of a novel methodology. The primary objective of this research is to investigate the subject of data access in the realm of cloud computing, with a particular emphasis on its ramifications for corporations and other pertinent organizations. The implementation of locationbased encryption facilitates the determination of accurate geographical coordinates. In experiment apply Integrated Location Based Security using Multi objective Optimization (ILBS-MOO) on different workflows and improve performance metrics significantly. Time delay averagely approximates improvement 6-7\%, storage 10-12\% and security 8-10\%.

IoT shares data with other things, such as applications, networked devices, or industrial equipment. With a large-scale complex architecture de-sign composed of numerous ‘things’, the scalability and reliability of various models stand out. When these advantages are vulnerable to security, constant problems occur continuously. Since IoT devices are provided with services closely to users, it can be seen that there are many users with various hacking methods and environments vulnerable to hacking.

In response to the advent of software defined world, this Fast Abstract introduces a new notion, information gravitation, with an attempt to unify and expand two related ones, information mass (related to the supposed fifth force) and data gravitation. This is motivated by the following question: is there a new kind of (gravitational) force between any two distinct pieces of information conveying messages. A possibly affirmative answer to this question of information gravitation, which is supposed to explore the theoretically and/or experimentally justified interplay between information and gravitation, might make significant sense for the software defined world being augmented with artificial intelligence and virtual reality in the age of information. Information induces gravitation. Information gravitation should be related to Newton s law of universal gravitation and Einstein s general theory of relativity, and even to gravitational waves and the unified theory of everything.

Cyber threats have been a major issue in the cyber security domain. Every hacker follows a series of cyber-attack stages known as cyber kill chain stages. Each stage has its norms and limitations to be deployed. For a decade, researchers have focused on detecting these attacks. Merely watcher tools are not optimal solutions anymore. Everything is becoming autonomous in the computer science field. This leads to the idea of an Autonomous Cyber Resilience Defense algorithm design in this work. Resilience has two aspects: Response and Recovery. Response requires some actions to be performed to mitigate attacks. Recovery is patching the flawed code or back door vulnerability. Both aspects were performed by human assistance in the cybersecurity defense field. This work aims to develop an algorithm based on Reinforcement Learning (RL) with a Convoluted Neural Network (CNN), far nearer to the human learning process for malware images. RL learns through a reward mechanism against every performed attack. Every action has some kind of output that can be classified into positive or negative rewards. To enhance its thinking process Markov Decision Process (MDP) will be mitigated with this RL approach. RL impact and induction measures for malware images were measured and performed to get optimal results. Based on the Malimg Image malware, dataset successful automation actions are received. The proposed work has shown 98\% accuracy in the classification, detection, and autonomous resilience actions deployment.

With the rapid development of science and technology, information security issues have been attracting more attention. According to statistics, tens of millions of computers around the world are infected by malicious software (Malware) every year, causing losses of up to several USD billion. Malware uses various methods to invade computer systems, including viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and others and exploit network vulnerabilities for intrusion. Most intrusion detection approaches employ behavioral analysis techniques to analyze malware threats with packet collection and filtering, feature engineering, and attribute comparison. These approaches are difficult to differentiate malicious traffic from legitimate traffic. Malware detection and classification are conducted with deep learning and graph neural networks (GNNs) to learn the characteristics of malware. In this study, a GNN-based model is proposed for malware detection and classification on a renewable energy management platform. It uses GNN to analyze malware with Cuckoo Sandbox malware records for malware detection and classification. To evaluate the effectiveness of the GNN-based model, the CIC-AndMal2017 dataset is used to examine its accuracy, precision, recall, and ROC curve. Experimental results show that the GNN-based model can reach better results.

Python continues to be one of the most popular programming languages and has been used in many safetycritical fields such as medical treatment, autonomous driving systems, and data science. These fields put forward higher security requirements to Python ecosystems. However, existing studies on machine learning systems in Python concentrate on data security, model security and model privacy, and just assume the underlying Python virtual machines (PVMs) are secure and trustworthy. Unfortunately, whether such an assumption really holds is still unknown.

Science of Security 2022 - To prevent all sorts of attacks, the technology of security service function chains (SFC) is proposed in recent years, it becomes an attractive research highlights. Dynamic orchestration algorithm can create SFC according to the resource usage of network security functions. The current research on creating SFC focuses on a single domain. However in reality the large and complex networks are divided into security domains according to different security levels and managed separately. Therefore, we propose a cross-security domain dynamic orchestration algorithm to create SFC for network security functions based on ant colony algorithm(ACO) and consider load balancing, shortest path and minimum delay as optimization objectives. We establish a network security architecture based on the proposed algorithm, which is suitable for the industrial vertical scenarios, solves the deployment problem of the dynamic orchestration algorithm. Simulation results verify that our algorithm achieves the goal of creating SFC across security domains and demonstrate its performance in creating service function chains to resolve abnormal traffic flows.

Multifactor Authentication - Today, with the rapid development of the information society and the increasingly complex computer network environment, multi-factor authentication, as one of the security protection technologies, plays an important role in both IT science and business. How to safely complete multi-factor authentication without affecting user experience has attracted extensive attention from researchers in the field of business security protection and network security. The purpose of this paper is to apply multi-factor authentication technology to enterprise security protection systems, develop and design a security protection technology based on multi-factor authentication dynamic authorization, and provide enterprises with unified identity management and authority management methods. The cornerstone of trust and security to ensure uninterrupted and stable operation of users. The original master key k is subjected to secondary multi-factor processing, which enhances the user s authentication ability and effectively avoids the risk of easy password theft and disguised identity. In order to meet the given VoIP security requirements, a SIP multi-factor authentication protocol is proposed for the VoIP environment by using the multi-factor authentication technology to solve the security problem. The performance test results show that due to the influence of data encryption and decryption, the response time of the encrypted database is 100s longer than that of the unencrypted one, but the growth rate is 10\% smaller than that of the unencrypted one. Therefore, the performance of this scheme is better when the amount of data is larger.

Information Reuse and Security - Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) databases contain information about vulnerabilities of software products and source code. If individual elements of CVE descriptions can be extracted and structured, then the data can be used to search and analyze CVE descriptions. Herein we propose a method to label each element in CVE descriptions by applying Named Entity Recognition (NER). For NER, we used BERT, a transformer-based natural language processing model. Using NER with machine learning can label information from CVE descriptions even if there are some distortions in the data. An experiment involving manually prepared label information for 1000 CVE descriptions shows that the labeling accuracy of the proposed method is about 0.81 for precision and about 0.89 for recall. In addition, we devise a way to train the data by dividing it into labels. Our proposed method can be used to label each element automatically from CVE descriptions.
