embedded systems are becoming a suggestive target for code injection attacks in recent years. software protection mechanisms in general computers are not usually applicable in embedded systems as they come with limited resources like memory and processor. in this paper we investigate side channel characteristics of embedded systems and their usability in code injection attack detection. the arc...

Cyclic codes are an interesting type of linear codes and have wide applications in communication and storage systems due to their efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. It was proved that asymptotically good Hermitian LCD codes exist. The objective of this paper is to construct some cyclic Hermitian LCD codes over finite fields and analyse their parameters. The dimensions of these codes ar...

Rootkits, are considered by many to be one of the most stealthy computer malware(malicious software) and pose significant threats. Hiding their presence and activities impose hijacking the control flow by altering data structures, or by using hooks in the kernel. As this can be achieved by loadable kernel code sections, this paper tries to explain common entry points into a Linux kernel and how...

Embedded systems are suggestive targets for code injection attacks in the recent years. Software protection mechanisms, and in general computers, are not usually applicable in embedded systems since they have limited resources like memory and process power. In this paper we investigate side channel characteristics of embedded systems and their applicability in code injection attack detection. T...

The importance of studying the robustness of learners to malicious data is well established. While much work has been done establishing both robust estimators and effective data injection attacks when the attacker is omniscient, the ability of an attacker to provably harm learning while having access to little information is largely unstudied. We study the potential of a “blind attacker” to pro...
