Handout: Users Are Not Stupid: 6 Cybersecurity Pitfalls Overturned

January 30, 2023
Author(s)
Julie Haney, Susanne M. Furman
The cybersecurity community tends to focus and depend on technology to solve today's cybersecurity problems, often without taking into consideration the human element - the key individual and social factors impacting cybersecurity adoption. This handout

Fronesis: Digital Forensics-Based Early Detection of Ongoing Cyber-Attacks

December 30, 2022
Author(s)
Athanasios Dimitriadis, Efstratios Lontzetidis, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Nenad Ivezic, Dimitris Gritzalis, Ioannis Mavridis
Traditional attack detection approaches utilize predefined databases of known signatures about already-seen tools and malicious activities observed in past cyber-attacks to detect future attacks. More sophisticated approaches apply machine learning to

Attacks on ML Systems: From Security Risk Analysis to Attack Mitigation

December 16, 2022
Author(s)
Qingtian Zou, Lan Zhang, Anoop Singhal, Xiaoyan Sun, Peng Liu
The past several years have witnessed rapidly increasing use of machine learning (ML) systems in multiple industry sectors. Since risk analysis is one of the most essential parts of the real-world ML system protection practice, there is an urgent need to

Supply Chain Assurance: Validating the Integrity of Computing Devices

Stephen Quinn, Nahla Ivy, Julie Chua, Matthew Barrett, Greg Witte, Larry Feldman, Daniel Topper, Robert Gardner
While business impact analysis (BIA) has historically been used to determine availability requirements for business continuity, the process can be extended to provide a broad understanding of the potential impacts of any type of loss on the enterprise

Engineering Trustworthy Secure Systems

November 16, 2022
Author(s)
Ronald S. Ross, Mark Winstead, Michael McEvilley
This publication describes a basis for establishing principles, concepts, activities, and tasks for engineering trustworthy secure systems. Such principles, concepts, activities, and tasks can be effectively applied within systems engineering efforts to

Measuring the Common Vulnerability Scoring System Base Score Equation

Author(s)
Peter Mell, Jonathan Spring, Dave Dugal, Srividya Ananthakrishna, Francesco Casotto, Troy Fridley, Christopher Ganas, Arkadeep Kundu, Phillip Nordwall, Vijayamurugan Pushpanathan, Daniel Sommerfeld, Matt Tesauro, Christopher Turner
This work evaluates the validity of the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Version 3 ''base score'' equation in capturing the expert opinion of its maintainers. CVSS is a widely used industry standard for rating the severity of information

When Frodo Flips: End-to-End Key Recovery on FrodoKEM via Rowhammer

November 7, 2022
Author(s)
Michael Fahr Jr., Hunter Kippen, Andrew Kwong, Thinh Dang, Jacob Lichtinger, Dana Dachman-Soled, Daniel Genkin, Alexander Nelson, Ray Perlner, Arkady Yerukhimovich, Daniel Apon
In this work, we recover the private key material of the FrodoKEM key exchange mechanism as submitted to the NIST PQC standardization process. The new mechanism that allows for this is a Rowhammer-assisted poisoning of the FrodoKEM KeyGen process. That is

Can You Spot a Phish

October 19, 2022
Author(s)
Shanee Dawkins, Jody Jacobs
This talk will cover findings from over 4 years of NIST phishing training data, highlighting user context as the key to phishing susceptibility. We will discuss the NIST Phish Scale, our research on why users click, and how it can help users spot a phish.
