Feature vulnerability and robustness assessment against adversarial machine learning attacks (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Mccarthy, A., Andriotis, P., Ghadafi, E., & Legg, P. (2021). Feature vulnerability and robustness assessment against adversarial machine learning attacks. In 2021 International Conference on Cyber Situational Awareness, Data Analytics and Assessment (CyberSA). https://doi.org/10.1109/CyberSA52016.2021.9478199

Whilst machine learning has been widely adopted for various domains, it is important to consider how such techniques may be susceptible to malicious users through adversarial attacks. Given a trained classifier, a malicious attack may attempt to craf... Read More about Feature vulnerability and robustness assessment against adversarial machine learning attacks.

"Hacking an IoT Home": New opportunities for cyber security education combining remote learning with cyber-physical systems (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Legg, P., Higgs, T., Spruhan, P., White, J., & Johnson, I. (2021). "Hacking an IoT Home": New opportunities for cyber security education combining remote learning with cyber-physical systems. In 2021 International Conference on Cyber Situational Awareness, Data Analytics and Assessment (CyberSA). https://doi.org/10.1109/CyberSA52016.2021.9478251

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a dramatic shift in educational practice, whereby home-schooling and remote working became the norm. Many typical schools outreach projects to encourage uptake of learning cyber security skills therefore we...

Unsupervised one-class learning for anomaly detection on home IoT network devices (2021)
Conference Proceeding
White, J., & Legg, P. (2021). Unsupervised one-class learning for anomaly detection on home IoT network devices. In 2021 International Conference on Cyber Situational Awareness, Data Analytics and Assessment (CyberSA). https://doi.org/10.1109/CyberSA52016.2021.9478248

In this paper we study anomaly detection methods for home IoT devices. Specifically, we address unsupervised one-class learning methods due to their ability to learn deviations from a single normal class. In a home IoT environment, this consideration...
