Improving search space analysis of fuzzing mutators using cryptographic structures (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Chafjiri, S. B., Legg, P., Tsompanas, M., & Hong, J. (in press). Improving search space analysis of fuzzing mutators using cryptographic structures. In Lecture Notes in Network Security

This paper introduces a novel approach to enhance the performance of software fuzzing mutator tools, by leveraging cryptographic structures known as substitution-permutation networks and Feistel networks. By integrating these structures into the exis... Read More about Improving search space analysis of fuzzing mutators using cryptographic structures.

Evaluating data distribution strategies in federated learning: A trade-off analysis between privacy and performance for IoT security (2023)
Conference Proceeding
White, J., & Legg, P. (in press). Evaluating data distribution strategies in federated learning: A trade-off analysis between privacy and performance for IoT security.

Federated learning is an effective approach for training a global machine learning model. It uses locally acquired data without having to share local data with the centralised server. This method provides a machine learning model beneficial for all p...
