A Real-Time Remote IDS Testbed for Connected Vehicles

Abstract

Connected vehicles are becoming commonplace. A constant connection between vehicles and a central server enables new features and services. This added connectivity raises the likelihood of exposure to attackers and risks unauthorized access. A possible countermeasure to this issue are intrusion detection systems (IDS), which aim at detecting these intrusions during or after their occurrence. The problem with IDS is the large variety of possible approaches with no sensible option for comparing them. Our contribution to this problem comprises the conceptualization and implementation of a testbed for an automotive real-world scenario. That amounts to a server-side IDS detecting intrusions into vehicles remotely. To verify the validity of our approach, we evaluate the testbed from multiple perspectives, including its fitness for purpose and the quality of the data it generates. Our evaluation shows that the testbed makes the effective assessment of various IDS possible. It solves multiple problems of existing approaches, including class imbalance. Additionally, it enables reproducibility and generating data of varying detection difficulties. This allows for comprehensive evaluation of real-time, remote IDS.

Starfish: Rebalancing Multi-Party Off-Chain Payment Channels

Blockchain technology has revolutionized the way transactions are executed, but scalability remains a major challenge. Payment Channel Network (PCN), as a Layer-2 scaling solution, has been proposed to address this issue. However, skewed payments can deplete the balance of one party within a channel, restricting the ability of PCNs to transact through a path and subsequently reducing the transaction success rate. To address this issue, the technology of rebalancing has been proposed. However, existing rebalancing strategies in PCNs are limited in their efficiency and applicability under realistic network topologies. Cycle-based approaches only enable rebalancing among nodes that form cycles, while non-cycle-based approaches incur high on-chain operation costs. In this study, we propose Starfish, a rebalancing approach designed for the locally star-like structures formed by high-degree routing hubs and their incident channels in real-world PCNs. By leveraging a hub-centric structure, Starfish reduces the on-chain overhead of rebalancing from quadratic to linear in the number of channels, achieving high rebalancing efficiency. We formally prove the security of Starfish and conduct comparative experiments against existing rebalancing techniques to demonstrate its effectiveness.

Proof-of-Authorship for Diffusion-based AI Generated Content

Recent advancements in AI-generated content (AIGC) have introduced new challenges in intellectual property protection and the authentication of generated objects. We focus on scenarios in which an author seeks to assert authorship of an object generated using latent diffusion models (LDMs), in the presence of adversaries who attempt to falsely claim authorship of objects they did not create. While proof-of-ownership has been studied in the context of multimedia content through techniques such as time-stamping and watermarking, these approaches face notable limitations. In contrast to traditional content creation sources (e.g., cameras), the LDM generation process offers greater control to the author. Specifically, the random seed used during generation can be deliberately chosen. By binding the seed to the author's identity using cryptographic functions, the author can assert to be the creator of the object. We refer to this stronger guarantee as proof-of-authorship, since only the creator of the object can legitimately claim the object. This contrasts with proof-of-ownership via time-stamping or watermarking, where any entity could potentially claim ownership of an object by being the first to timestamp or embed the watermark. We propose a proof-of-authorship framework involving a probabilistic adjudicator who quantifies the probability that a claim is false. Furthermore, unlike prior approaches, the proposed framework does not involve any secret. We explore various attack scenarios and analyze design choices using Stable Diffusion 2.1 and XL as representative case studies.

Impact Analysis of Speech Representation Learning Models for Acoustic Side-Channel Attack

Acoustic side-channel attacks (ASCA) on keyboards have gained increasing attention, yet impact of speech representation learning models in ASCA remains unexplored. Addressing this, we introduce KEYAC, a dataset designed to analyze representation generalization for ASCA under both standard and VoIP codec settings. On KEYAC, we evaluate six representation learning models under zero-shot and partial fine-tuning settings using fully connected and convolutional networks. Results show that while partial fine-tuning improves performance, models struggle to generalize across VoIP codecs. We hypothesize this limitation stems from inadequate modeling of nonlinear feature interactions in conventional fine-tuning architectures. To address this, we employ Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN) for fine-tuning. Empirical results show that KAN-based fine-tuning consistently outperforms the baselines and establishes a new state-of-the-art on KEYAC.
