SCADA System Testbed for Cybersecurity Research Using Machine Learning Approach
This paper presents the development of a Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA) system testbed used for cybersecurity research. The testbed
consists of a water storage tank's control system, which is a stage in the
process of water treatment and distribution. Sophisticated cyber-attacks were
conducted against the testbed. During the attacks, the network traffic was
captured, and features were extracted from the traffic to build a dataset for
training and testing different machine learning algorithms. Five traditional
machine learning algorithms were trained to detect the attacks: Random Forest,
Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes and KNN. Then, the trained
machine learning models were built and deployed in the network, where new tests
were made using online network traffic. The performance obtained during the
training and testing of the machine learning models was compared to the
performance obtained during the online deployment of these models in the
network. The results show the efficiency of the machine learning models in
detecting the attacks in real time. The testbed provides a good understanding
of the effects and consequences of attacks on real SCADA environmentsComment: E-Preprin
Adversarial-Playground: A Visualization Suite Showing How Adversarial Examples Fool Deep Learning
Recent studies have shown that attackers can force deep learning models to
misclassify so-called "adversarial examples": maliciously generated images
formed by making imperceptible modifications to pixel values. With growing
interest in deep learning for security applications, it is important for
security experts and users of machine learning to recognize how learning
systems may be attacked. Due to the complex nature of deep learning, it is
challenging to understand how deep models can be fooled by adversarial
examples. Thus, we present a web-based visualization tool,
Adversarial-Playground, to demonstrate the efficacy of common adversarial
methods against a convolutional neural network (CNN) system.
Adversarial-Playground is educational, modular and interactive. (1) It enables
non-experts to compare examples visually and to understand why an adversarial
example can fool a CNN-based image classifier. (2) It can help security experts
explore more vulnerability of deep learning as a software module. (3) Building
an interactive visualization is challenging in this domain due to the large
feature space of image classification (generating adversarial examples is slow
in general and visualizing images are costly). Through multiple novel design
choices, our tool can provide fast and accurate responses to user requests.
Empirically, we find that our client-server division strategy reduced the
response time by an average of 1.5 seconds per sample. Our other innovation, a
faster variant of JSMA evasion algorithm, empirically performed twice as fast
as JSMA and yet maintains a comparable evasion rate.

Deep Learning in the Automotive Industry: Applications and Tools
Deep Learning refers to a set of machine learning techniques that utilize
neural networks with many hidden layers for tasks, such as image
classification, speech recognition, language understanding. Deep learning has
been proven to be very effective in these domains and is pervasively used by
many Internet services. In this paper, we describe different automotive uses
cases for deep learning in particular in the domain of computer vision. We
surveys the current state-of-the-art in libraries, tools and infrastructures
(e.\,g.\ GPUs and clouds) for implementing, training and deploying deep neural
networks. We particularly focus on convolutional neural networks and computer
vision use cases, such as the visual inspection process in manufacturing plants
and the analysis of social media data. To train neural networks, curated and
labeled datasets are essential. In particular, both the availability and scope
of such datasets is typically very limited. A main contribution of this paper
is the creation of an automotive dataset, that allows us to learn and
automatically recognize different vehicle properties. We describe an end-to-end
deep learning application utilizing a mobile app for data collection and
process support, and an Amazon-based cloud backend for storage and training.
For training we evaluate the use of cloud and on-premises infrastructures
(including multiple GPUs) in conjunction with different neural network
architectures and frameworks. We assess both the training times as well as the
accuracy of the classifier. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the
trained classifier in a real world setting during manufacturing process.Comment: 10 page
