    Telematics by its nature requires the capture of sensor data, storage and exchange of data to obtain remote servicesMost of the commercial antivirus software fail to detect unknown and new malicious code. Proliferation of malicious code (viruses, worms, Trojans, root kits, spyware, crime ware, phishing attacks, and other malware designed to infiltrate or damage a system without user's consent) in recent years has presented a serious threat to Internet, individual users, and enterprises alike. In addition malware once confined to wired networks has now found a new breeding ground in mobile devices, automatic identification and collection (AIDC) technologies, and radio frequency identification devices (RFID) that use wireless networks to communicate and connect to the Internet. RFID systems encountered a number of threats and privacy issues. In order to stay ahead and be proactive in an asymmetric race against malicious code writers, developers of anti-malware technologies have to rely on automatic malware analysis tools. In this paper, we introduce a method of functionally classifying malware and malicious code by using well-known computational intelligent techniques. MEDiC (Malware Examiner using Disassembled Code) is our answer to a more accurate malware detection method. This work is an also attempt to address the information security issues chiefly the attacks through the databases that these RFID tags called iCLASS, which are of the active type. After a particular malicious code has been first identified, it can be analyzed to extract the signature, which provides a basis for detecting variants and mutants of the same malware in the future

    The question of how to stymie the proliferation of spyware on computers has been a recurring topic of debate in Congress and in the technology industry. With the passage of the SPY ACT (H.R. 29) a high probability, this article highlights its prohibitions, with particular emphasis on how they change current legal regimes. Most federal computer statutes—insofar as they address actions victimizing private citizens—require damage to the computer. In addition, one of the elements of common law trespass to chattel is damage. Whether intended or not, the SPY ACT subtly introduces a strict liability component into federal computer and Internet law

    Rethinking Spyware: Questioning the Propriety of Contractual Consent to Online Surveillance

    The spyware epidemic has reached new heights on the Internet. Computer users are increasingly burdened with programs they did not knowingly or consciously install, which place strains on their computers\u27 performance, and which also trigger annoying pop-up advertisements of products or services which have been determined to match the users\u27 preferences. The users\u27 purported preferences are determined, in turn, by the software continuously monitoring every move the consumer makes as she surfs the Internet. The public overwhelmingly disapproves of spyware which is surreptitiously placed on computers in this manner, and also largely disapproves of the pop-up advertising paradigm. As a result, there have been many legislative proposals, on a state and federal level, to address the spyware problem. All of the proposals assume that, if knowing and effective consent to spyware installation is granted by the consumer, then the software is lawful. Existing case law would seem to provide a means for corroboration of this conclusion. However, the implications of allowing such profound and invasive surveillance appear to be largely ignored in all of the proposals and discussion concerning spyware. This may be because of the problem of perspective concerning online activities, as first highlighted by Professor Orin Kerr. This article seeks to illuminate the true nature of the spyware bargain, and questions the propriety of sanctioning such surveillance bargains under principles of contract law. Such bargains may often be unenforceable because a term allowing continual surveillance may be beyond the range of reasonable expectations of most consumers. Even if not, however, the privacy implications are such that we as a society may wish to condemn such bargains to be spied upon, and conclude that such contracts should simply be unenforceable as a matter of public policy, and therefore banned

    Malicious software is abundant in a world of innumerable computer users, who are constantly faced with these threats from various sources like the internet, local networks and portable drives. Malware is potentially low to high risk and can cause systems to function incorrectly, steal data and even crash. Malware may be executable or system library files in the form of viruses, worms, Trojans, all aimed at breaching the security of the system and compromising user privacy. Typically, anti-virus software is based on a signature definition system which keeps updating from the internet and thus keeping track of known viruses. While this may be sufficient for home-users, a security risk from a new virus could threaten an entire enterprise network. This paper proposes a new and more sophisticated antivirus engine that can not only scan files, but also build knowledge and detect files as potential viruses. This is done by extracting system API calls made by various normal and harmful executable, and using machine learning algorithms to classify and hence, rank files on a scale of security risk. While such a system is processor heavy, it is very effective when used centrally to protect an enterprise network which maybe more prone to such threats.Comment: 6 page

    Case Study-Based Approach of Quantum Machine Learning in Cybersecurity: Quantum Support Vector Machine for Malware Classification and Protection

    Full text link
    Quantum machine learning (QML) is an emerging field of research that leverages quantum computing to improve the classical machine learning approach to solve complex real world problems. QML has the potential to address cybersecurity related challenges. Considering the novelty and complex architecture of QML, resources are not yet explicitly available that can pave cybersecurity learners to instill efficient knowledge of this emerging technology. In this research, we design and develop QML-based ten learning modules covering various cybersecurity topics by adopting student centering case-study based learning approach. We apply one subtopic of QML on a cybersecurity topic comprised of pre-lab, lab, and post-lab activities towards providing learners with hands-on QML experiences in solving real-world security problems. In order to engage and motivate students in a learning environment that encourages all students to learn, pre-lab offers a brief introduction to both the QML subtopic and cybersecurity problem. In this paper, we utilize quantum support vector machine (QSVM) for malware classification and protection where we use open source Pennylane QML framework on the drebin215 dataset. We demonstrate our QSVM model and achieve an accuracy of 95% in malware classification and protection. We will develop all the modules and introduce them to the cybersecurity community in the coming days
