The Ergodic Capacity of the Multiple Access Channel Under Distributed Scheduling – Order Optimality of Linear Receivers
S. Kampeas, A. Cohen and O. Gurewitz IEEE Transactions on Information Theory ( Volume: PP, Issue: 99 ) Page(s): 1 – 1 Link to document Consider the problem of a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Multiple-Access Channel (MAC) at the limit of large number of users. Clearly, in practical scenarios, only a small subset of the users […]
Early detection of spamming accounts in large-Scale service provider networks
Yehonatan Cohen, Daniel Gordon, Danny Hendler Knowledge-Based Systems Volume 142, 15 February 2018, Pages 241-255 Link to document We present ErDOS — an algorithm for the Early Detection Of Spamming accounts. The detection approach implemented by ErDOS combines content-based labelling and features based on inter-account communication patterns. We define new account features, based on the […]
Malware Escapes from Faraday Cages and Air-Gapped Computers
Faraday rooms or “cages designed to prevent electromagnetic signals from escaping can nevertheless be compromised and leak highly sensitive data, according to new studies by BGU’s Cyber@BGU.Research led by Dr. Mordechai Guri (pictured right), the head of research and development of Cyber@BGU showed for the first time that a Faraday room and an air-gapped computer that is disconnected from the […]
Mind The Gap: This Researcher Steals Data With Noise, Light, And Magnets
THE FIELD OF cybersecurity is obsessed with preventing and detecting breaches, finding every possible strategy to keep hackers from infiltrating your digital inner sanctum. But Mordechai Guri has spent the last four years fixated instead on exfiltration: How spies pull information out once they’ve gotten in. Specifically, he focuses on stealing secrets sensitive enough to be stored […]
Amdocs, BGU Launch New AI Research Lab
February 7, 2018 | Ben-Gurion University and Israeli-founded multinational Amdocs have launched a joint research lab for cooperation on artificial intelligence and machine learning. The university’s Department of Software and Information Systems Engineering will work together with Amdocs “to further research on these critical issues,” Ben-Gurion University said in a statement. “We are excited about the […]
Quantifying the resilience of machine learning classifiers used for cyber security
Z Katzir, Y Elovici Expert Systems with Applications 92, 419-429, 2018 Link to document The use of machine learning algorithms for cyber security purposes gives rise to questions of adversarial resilience, namely: Can we quantify the effort required of an adversary to manipulate a system that is based on machine learning techniques? Can the adversarial […]
