Mitigating 51% Attacks in Blockchain Systems Through Early Detection and Checkpoint-Based Defense
Victor Kebande
The 51% attack remains one of the significant security concern in Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchains, where increasing hash-power concentration can create a malicious majority-control…
A 12-Step Process for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Forensics
Victor Kebande
The increasing deployment of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in critical infrastructure sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation has shown new challenges…
AoNT Trap: Borromean-Entangled Mutable Chameleon Trapdoor Hash All-or-Nothing Stream Cipher
Victor Kebande
This work introduces the Borromean-Entangled Chameleon Trapdoor Hash All-or-Nothing (AoNT) Stream Cipher (BEC-Trap), a novel construction that merges Borromean interdependence, tra…
Structural Analysis of Cryptographic Sequences using Stringology-Based Fingerprinting
Victor Kebande
Cryptographic primitives such as stream ciphers,Pseudorandom Number Generators (PRNGs), and block cipher modes produce sequences that are designed to be statistically indistinguish…
Stringology Based Cryptology
Victor Kebande
The modern cryptographic primitives are known to generate large volumes of sequential data like keystreams, ciphertext blocks, and hash outputs. Traditional cryptgraphic evaluation…
Neural Stringology Based Cryptanalysis of EChaCha20
Victor Kebande
Modern stream ciphers rely on strong diffusion and pseudorandom keystream generation (PKG) to resist cryptanalysis. While conventional evaluation methods such as statistical random…
Stringology-Based Cryptanalysis for EChaCha20 Stream Cipher
Victor Kebande
Stringology-Based Cryptanalysis (SBC) offers a suitable and a structurally aligned approach for uncovering structural patterns in stream ciphers that traditional statistical tests…
The Impact of Virtual Laboratories on Active Learning and Engagement in Cybersecurity Distance Education
Victor R. Kebande
Virtual Laboratories (V Labs) have in the recent past become part and parcel of remote teaching in practical hands-on approaches, particularly in Cybersecurity distance courses. Th…
Beyond Random Noise: Insights on Anonymization Strategies from a Latent Bandit Study
Alexander Galozy, Sadi Alawadi, Victor Kebande +1
This paper investigates the issue of privacy in a learning scenario where users share knowledge for a recommendation task. Our study contributes to the growing body of research on…
FedCSD: A Federated Learning Based Approach for Code-Smell Detection
Sadi Alawadi, Khalid Alkharabsheh, Fahed Alkhabbas +4
This paper proposes a Federated Learning Code Smell Detection (FedCSD) approach that allows organizations to collaboratively train federated ML models while preserving their data p…
Real-time monitoring as a supplementary security component of vigilantism in modern network environments
Victor R. Kebande, Nickson M. Karie, Richard A. Ikuesan
The phenomenon of network vigilantism is autonomously attributed to how anomalies and obscure activities from adversaries can be tracked in realtime. Needless to say, in today dyna…
Internet of Threats Introspection in Dynamic Intelligent Virtual Sensing
Victor R. Kebande, Joseph Bugeja, Jan A. Persson
Continued ubiquity of communication infrastructure across Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems has seen persistent advances of dynamic, intelligent, virtualised sensing and actuatio…
Detecting Centralized Architecture-Based Botnets using Travelling Salesperson Non-Deterministic Polynomial-Hard problem, TSP-NP Technique
Victor R. Kebande, Nickson M. Karie, Richard Adeyemi Ikuesan +2
The threats posed by botnets in the cyberspace continue to grow each day and it has become very hard to detect or infiltrate the cynicism of bots. This, is owing to the fact, that,…
