Intrusion Detection System for Platooning Connected Autonomous Vehicles
The deployment of Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) requires secure wireless communication in order to ensure reliable connectivity and safety. However, this wireless communication is vulnerable to a variety of cyber atacks such as spoofing or jamming attacks. In this paper, we describe an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) based on Machine Learning (ML) techniques designed to detect both spoofing and jamming attacks in a CAV environment. The IDS would reduce the risk of traffic disruption and accident caused as a result of cyber-attacks. The detection engine of the presented IDS is based on the ML algorithms Random Forest (RF), k-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN) and One-Class Support Vector Machine (OCSVM), as well as data fusion techniques in a cross-layer approach. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the proposed IDS is the first in literature that uses a cross-layer approach to detect both spoofing and jamming attacks against the communication of connected vehicles platooning. The evaluation results of the implemented IDS present a high accuracy of over 90% using training datasets containing both known and unknown attacks
The Challenges in SDN/ML Based Network Security : A Survey
Machine Learning is gaining popularity in the network security domain as many
more network-enabled devices get connected, as malicious activities become
stealthier, and as new technologies like Software Defined Networking (SDN)
emerge. Sitting at the application layer and communicating with the control
layer, machine learning based SDN security models exercise a huge influence on
the routing/switching of the entire SDN. Compromising the models is
consequently a very desirable goal. Previous surveys have been done on either
adversarial machine learning or the general vulnerabilities of SDNs but not
both. Through examination of the latest ML-based SDN security applications and
a good look at ML/SDN specific vulnerabilities accompanied by common attack
methods on ML, this paper serves as a unique survey, making a case for more
secure development processes of ML-based SDN security applications.Comment: 8 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with

Survey of Machine Learning Techniques for Malware Analysis
Coping with malware is getting more and more challenging, given their
relentless growth in complexity and volume. One of the most common approaches
in literature is using machine learning techniques, to automatically learn
models and patterns behind such complexity, and to develop technologies for
keeping pace with the speed of development of novel malware. This survey aims
at providing an overview on the way machine learning has been used so far in
the context of malware analysis. We systematize surveyed papers according to
their objectives (i.e., the expected output, what the analysis aims to), what
information about malware they specifically use (i.e., the features), and what
machine learning techniques they employ (i.e., what algorithm is used to
process the input and produce the output). We also outline a number of problems
concerning the datasets used in considered works, and finally introduce the
novel concept of malware analysis economics, regarding the study of existing
tradeoffs among key metrics, such as analysis accuracy and economical costs
