Individually-Secure Multi-Source Multicast

A. Cohen, A. Cohen, M. Medard and O. Gurewitz 2017 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT) Link to document The principal mission of Multi-Source Multicast (MSM) is to disseminate all messages from all sources in a network to all destinations. MSM is utilized in numerous applications. In many of them, securing the messages disseminated […]

An optical covert-channel to leak data through an air-gap

Mordechai Guri, Ofer Hasson, Gabi Kedma, Yuval Elovici Conference: 2016 14th Annual Conference on Privacy, Security and Trust (PST) Link to document In recent years, various out-of-band covert channels have been proposed that demonstrate the feasibility of leaking data out of computers without the need for network connectivity. The methods proposed have been based on […]

USBee: Air-gap covert-channel via electromagnetic emission from USB

Mordechai Guri, Matan Monitz, Yuval Elovici 2016 14th Annual Conference on Privacy, Security and Trust (PST) Link to document In recent years researchers have demonstrated how attackers could use USB connectors implanted with RF transmitters to exfiltrate data from secure, and even air-gapped, computers (e.g., COTTONMOUTH in the leaked NSA ANT catalog). Such methods require […]

ALDOCX: Detection of Unknown Malicious Microsoft Office Documents Using Designated Active Learning Methods Based on New Structural Feature Extraction Methodology

Nir Nissim ; Aviad Cohen ; Yuval Elovici IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security ( Volume: 12, Issue: 3, March 2017 ) Page(s): 631 – 646 Link to document Attackers increasingly take advantage of innocent users who tend to casually open email messages assumed to be benign, carrying malicious documents. Recent targeted attacks aimed […]

Wiretap channel with random states non-causally available at the encoder

In collaboration with Princeton University Z. Goldfeld, P. Cuff, and H. H. Permuter In Proceedings of the 2016 IEEE International Conference on the Science of Electrical Engineers (ICSEE-2016), Eilat, Israel, November 2016 Link to document We study the state-dependent (SD) wiretap channel (WTC) with non-causal channel state information (CSI) at the encoder. This model subsumes […]
