Strengthening e-banking security using keystroke dynamics
This paper investigates keystroke dynamics and its possible use as a tool to prevent or detect fraud in the banking industry. Given that banks are constantly on the lookout for improved methods to address the menace of fraud, the paper sets out to review keystroke dynamics, its advantages, disadvantages and potential for improving the security of e-banking systems. This paper evaluates keystroke dynamics suitability of use for enhancing security in the banking sector. Results from the literature review found that keystroke dynamics can offer impressive accuracy rates for user identification. Low costs of deployment and minimal change to users modus operandi make this technology an attractive investment for banks. The paper goes on to argue that although this behavioural biometric may not be suitable as a primary method of authentication, it can be used as a secondary or tertiary method to complement existing authentication systems
SINVAD: Search-based Image Space Navigation for DNN Image Classifier Test Input Generation
The testing of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) has become increasingly important
as DNNs are widely adopted by safety critical systems. While many test adequacy
criteria have been suggested, automated test input generation for many types of
DNNs remains a challenge because the raw input space is too large to randomly
sample or to navigate and search for plausible inputs. Consequently, current
testing techniques for DNNs depend on small local perturbations to existing
inputs, based on the metamorphic testing principle. We propose new ways to
search not over the entire image space, but rather over a plausible input space
that resembles the true training distribution. This space is constructed using
Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), and navigated through their latent vector
space. We show that this space helps efficiently produce test inputs that can
reveal information about the robustness of DNNs when dealing with realistic
tests, opening the field to meaningful exploration through the space of highly
structured images
