Privacy based triage of suspicious activity reports using offline large language models (2024)
Book Chapter
Legg, P., Ryder, N., Bourton, S., Johnson, D., & Walker, R. (in press). Privacy based triage of suspicious activity reports using offline large language models. In Advancements in Cyber Crime Investigations and Modern Data Analytics. CRC Press / Taylor and Francis

Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR) form a vital part of incident response and case management for the investigation of known or suspected money laundering. However, those submitting SARs, and those tasked with analysing SARs, often find the task overw...

Cyber Funfair: Creating immersive and educational experiences for teaching Cyber Physical Systems Security (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Mills, A., White, J., & Legg, P. (2024). Cyber Funfair: Creating immersive and educational experiences for teaching Cyber Physical Systems Security. In SIGCSE 2024: Proceedings of the 55th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education (847-852). https://doi.org/10.1145/3626252.3630820

Delivering meaningful and inspiring cyber security education for younger audiences can often be a challenge due to limited expertise and resources. Key to any outreach activity is that it both develops a learner's curiosity, as well as providing educ...

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...

Longitudinal risk-based security assessment of docker software container images (2023)
Journal Article
Mills, A., White, J., & Legg, P. (2023). Longitudinal risk-based security assessment of docker software container images. Computers and Security, 135, Article 103478. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cose.2023.103478

As the use of software containerisation has increased, so too has the need for security research on their usage, with various surveys and studies conducted to assess the overall security posture of software container images. To date, there has been v... Read More about Longitudinal risk-based security assessment of docker software container images.
