Investment projects are not the only ones where significant complications in their implementation may occur. The fundamental question, how to specify threats hidden time series, is one of most important types knowledge arising from basic schedules’ documentation. Feasibility studies, project proposals, organizational and production procedures, research projects, others major resources informati...

In order to ensure trusted in–field operation of integrated circuits, it is important to develop efficient low–cost techniques to detect malicious tampering (also referred to as Hardware Trojan) that causes undesired change in functional behavior. Conventional post–manufacturing testing, test generation algorithms and test coverage metrics cannot be readily extended to hardware Trojan detection...

Software exploitable Hardware Trojan Horses (HTHs) inserted into commercial CPUs allow the attacker to run his/her own software or gain unauthorized privileges. Recently a novel menace raised: HTHs by CAD tools. A consequence of such scenario is that must be considered serious threat not only academy but also industry. In this paper we try answer following question: can Machine Learning (ML) he...

The goal of this research is to develop a method to detect malicious code (e.g. computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and time/logic bombs) and security-related vulnerabilities in system programs. The Malicious Code Filter (MCF) is a programmable static analysis tool developed for this purpose. It allows the examination of a program before installation, thereby avoiding damage a malicious pro...

Computer viruses, worms and Trojan horses pose the most severe intrusion threat against an automated environment, especially if this environment is distributed and the ability to enforce physical access control is very limited. These structures are also collectively referred to as malicious software. In this paper, a model for viral attacks against computer networks is being developed. The soun...
