Efficient Storage Integrity in Adversarial Settings
Quinn Burke, Ryan Sheatsley, Yohan Beugin +4
Storage integrity is essential to systems and applications that use untrusted storage (e.g., public clouds, end-user devices). However, known methods for achieving storage integrit…
On the Robustness Tradeoff in Fine-Tuning
Kunyang Li, Jean-Charles Noirot Ferrand, Ryan Sheatsley +4
Fine-tuning has become the standard practice for adapting pre-trained models to downstream tasks. However, the impact on model robustness is not well understood. In this work, we c…
Adversarial Agents: Black-Box Evasion Attacks with Reinforcement Learning
Kyle Domico, Jean-Charles Noirot Ferrand, Ryan Sheatsley +3
Attacks on machine learning models have been extensively studied through stateless optimization. In this paper, we demonstrate how a reinforcement learning (RL) agent can learn a n…
Targeting Alignment: Extracting Safety Classifiers of Aligned LLMs
Jean-Charles Noirot Ferrand, Yohan Beugin, Eric Pauley +2
Alignment in large language models (LLMs) is used to enforce guidelines such as safety. Yet, alignment fails in the face of jailbreak attacks that modify inputs to induce unsafe ou…
ParTEETor: A System for Partial Deployments of TEEs within Tor
Rachel King, Quinn Burke, Yohan Beugin +5
The Tor anonymity network allows users such as political activists and those under repressive governments to protect their privacy when communicating over the internet. At the same…
Characterizing the Modification Space of Signature IDS Rules
Ryan Guide, Eric Pauley, Yohan Beugin +2
Signature-based Intrusion Detection Systems (SIDSs) are traditionally used to detect malicious activity in networks. A notable example of such a system is Snort, which compares net…
Systematic Evaluation of Geolocation Privacy Mechanisms
Alban Héon, Ryan Sheatsley, Quinn Burke +4
Location data privacy has become a serious concern for users as Location Based Services (LBSs) have become an important part of their life. It is possible for malicious parties hav…
Securing Cloud File Systems with Trusted Execution
Quinn Burke, Yohan Beugin, Blaine Hoak +7
Cloud file systems offer organizations a scalable and reliable file storage solution. However, cloud file systems have become prime targets for adversaries, and traditional designs…
Secure IP Address Allocation at Cloud Scale
Eric Pauley, Kyle Domico, Blaine Hoak +5
Public clouds necessitate dynamic resource allocation and sharing. However, the dynamic allocation of IP addresses can be abused by adversaries to source malicious traffic, bypass…
Privacy-Preserving Protocols for Smart Cameras and Other IoT Devices
Yohan Beugin, Quinn Burke, Blaine Hoak +5
Millions of consumers depend on smart camera systems to remotely monitor their homes and businesses. However, the architecture and design of popular commercial systems require user…
Measuring and Mitigating the Risk of IP Reuse on Public Clouds
Eric Pauley, Ryan Sheatsley, Blaine Hoak +3
Public clouds provide scalable and cost-efficient computing through resource sharing. However, moving from traditional on-premises service management to clouds introduces new chall…
Building a Privacy-Preserving Smart Camera System
Yohan Beugin, Quinn Burke, Blaine Hoak +5
Millions of consumers depend on smart camera systems to remotely monitor their homes and businesses. However, the architecture and design of popular commercial systems require user…
On the Robustness of Domain Constraints
Ryan Sheatsley, Blaine Hoak, Eric Pauley +3
Machine learning is vulnerable to adversarial examples-inputs designed to cause models to perform poorly. However, it is unclear if adversarial examples represent realistic inputs…
Program Analysis of Commodity IoT Applications for Security and Privacy: Challenges and Opportunities
Z. Berkay Celik, Earlence Fernandes, Eric Pauley +2
Recent advances in Internet of Things (IoT) have enabled myriad domains such as smart homes, personal monitoring devices, and enhanced manufacturing. IoT is now pervasive---new app…
