Performance Analysis of TLS for Quantum Robust Cryptography on a Constrained Device
Jon Barton, William J Buchanan, Nikolaos Pitropakis +2
Advances in quantum computing make Shor's algorithm for factorising numbers ever more tractable. This threatens the security of any cryptographic system which often relies on the d…
The Challenges of Investigating Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Related Crime
Simon Dyson, William J Buchanan, Liam Bell
We increasingly live in a world where there is a balance between the rights to privacy and the requirements for consent, and the rights of society to protect itself. Within this wo…
Discovering Encrypted Bot and Ransomware Payloads Through Memory Inspection Without A Priori Knowledge
Peter McLaren, William J Buchanan, Gordon Russell +1
Malware writers frequently try to hide the activities of their agents within tunnelled traffic. Within the Kill Chain model the infection time is often measured in seconds, and if…
Deriving ChaCha20 Key Streams From Targeted Memory Analysis
Peter McLaren, William J Buchanan, Gordon Russell +1
There can be performance and vulnerability concerns with block ciphers, thus stream ciphers can used as an alternative. Although many symmetric key stream ciphers are fairly resist…
Protocol for Asynchronous, Reliable, Secure and Efficient Consensus (PARSEC) Version 2.0
Pierre Chevalier, Bartlomiej Kaminski, Fraser Hutchison +4
In this paper we present an open source, fully asynchronous, leaderless algorithm for reaching consensus in the presence of Byzantine faults in an asynchronous network. We prove th…
Machine learning and semantic analysis of in-game chat for cyberbullying
Shane Murnion, William J. Buchanan, Adrian Smales +1
One major problem with cyberbullying research is the lack of data, since researchers are traditionally forced to rely on survey data where victims and perpetrators self-report thei…
