The CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol is widely adopted for in-vehicle networks due to its cost efficiency and reliable transmission. However, despite its popularity, the protocol lacks built-in security mechanisms, making it vulnerable to attacks such as flooding, fuzzing, and DoS. These attacks can exploit vulnerabilities and disrupt the expected behavior of the in-vehicle network. One of the main reasons for these security concerns is that the protocol relies on broadcast frames for communication between ECUs (Electronic Control Units) within the network. To tackle this issue, we present an intrusion detection system that leverages multiple LSTM-Autoencoders. The proposed system utilizes diverse features, including transmission interval and payload value changes, to capture various characteristics of normal network behavior. The system effectively detects anomalies by analyzing different types of features separately using the LSTM-Autoencoder model. In our evaluation, we conducted experiments using real vehicle network traffic, and the results demonstrated the system’s high precision with a 99% detection rate in identifying anomalies.

The advancement of cellular communication technology has profoundly transformed human life. People can now watch high-definition videos anytime, anywhere, and aim for the implementation of advanced autonomous driving capabilities. However, the sustainability of such an environment is threatened by false base stations. False base stations execute attacks in the Radio Access Network (RAN) of cellular systems, adversely affecting the network or its users. To address this challenge, we propose a behavior rule specification-based false base station detection system, SMDFbs. We derive behavior rules from the normal operations of base stations and convert these rules into a state machine. Based on this state machine, we detect network anomalies and mitigate threats. We conducted experiments detecting false base stations in a 5G RAN simulator, comparing our system with seven machine learning-based detection techniques. The experimental results showed that our proposed system achieved a detection accuracy of 98% and demonstrated lower overhead compared to other algorithms.

This paper proposes a new approach to counter cyberattacks using the increasingly diverse malware in cyber security. Traditional signature detection methods that utilize static and dynamic features face limitations due to the continuous evolution and diversity of new malware. Recently, machine learning-based malware detection techniques, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), have gained attention. While these methods demonstrate high performance by leveraging static and dynamic features, they are limited in detecting new malware or variants because they learn based on the characteristics of existing malware. To overcome these limitations, malware detection techniques employing One-Shot Learning and Few-Shot Learning have been introduced. Based on this, the Siamese Network, which can effectively learn from a small number of samples and perform predictions based on similarity rather than learning the characteristics of the input data, enables the detection of new malware or variants. We propose a dual Siamese network-based detection framework that utilizes byte images converted from malware binary data to grayscale, and opcode frequency-based images generated after extracting opcodes and converting them into 2-gram frequencies. The proposed framework integrates two independent Siamese network models, one learning from byte images and the other from opcode frequency-based images. The detection models trained on the different kinds of images generated separately apply the L1 distance measure to the output vectors the models generate, calculate the similarity, and then apply different weights to each model. Our proposed framework achieved a malware detection accuracy of 95.9% and 99.83% in the experiments using different malware datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that our malware detection model can effectively detect malware by utilizing two different types of features and employing the dual Siamese network-based model.

As the Internet has been developed, various online services such as social media services are introduced and widely used by many people. Traditionally, many online services utilize self-certification methods that are made using public certificates or resident registration numbers, but it is found that the existing methods pose the risk of recent personal information leakage accidents. The most popular authentication method to compensate for these problems is biometric authentication technology. The biometric authentication techniques are considered relatively safe from risks like personal information theft, forgery, etc. Among many biometric-based methods, we studied the speaker recognition method, which is considered suitable to be used as a user authentication method of the social media service usually accessed in the smartphone environment. In this paper, we first propose a speaker recognition-based authentication method that identifies and authenticates individual voice patterns, and we also present a synthesis speech detection method that is used to prevent a masquerading attack using synthetic voices.
