Universal patching method for side-channel vulnerabilities based on atomic obfuscation by Deqing ZOU, Pan ZHANG, Wei LIU, Weijie CHEN, Yifan LU

“…Executing code containing side-channel vulnerabilities exhibits different non-functional behaviors related to inputs.Attackers can obtain these behaviors by leveraging micro architecture side-channel attacks and then analyze the pattern between the behaviors and the inputs to access sensitive data.Vulnerability repairing at the software layer brings low overheads to a program’s execution.Besides, it does not require modifying hardware or system, which enables fast patching and widespread deployment.It becomes the mainstream strategy applied to the current cryptographic implementations.However, existing solutions are deeply bound to the program’s implementation and requires manual intervention.This brings challenge to implement and is not versatile enough.A general patching method was proposed for side-channel vulnerabilities that combined dynamic obfuscated execution with hardware atomic transaction.To hide the real accesses of the side-channel vulnerabilities of a program, the proposed method inserted dynamic confusing accesses into the vulnerabilities.To avoid an attacker using fine-grained side-channel attack to distinguish the real access and the confusing access, both of them were encapsulated as transactions and they were guaranteed to be uninterrupted during the running period.In addition, a prototype system called SC-Patcher was implemented based on the LLVM compiler.Various optimization strategies were supported, including secure springboard and transaction aggregation, to further improve system security and performance.Experimental results show that the proposed method makes it impossible for an attacker to restore accurate sensitive data through side-channel attack, and it also brings almost no additional performance overhead to the program.…”

Prediction method of 0day attack path based on cyber defense knowledge graph by Cheng SUN, Hao HU, Yingjie YANG, Hongqi ZHANG

“…To solve the difficulty of attack detection caused by the 0day vulnerability, a prediction method of 0day attack path based on cyber defense knowledge graph was proposed.The cyber defense knowledge graph was constructed to refine the discrete security data such as threat, vulnerability and asset into the complete and high-related knowledge format by extracting concepts and entities related to network attack from cyber security ontology research finds and databases.Based on the knowledge integrated by the knowledge graph, assumed and restricted the unknown attributes such as the existence, availability and harmfulness of 0day vulnerabilities, and model the concept of ＆quot;attack＆quot; as a relationship between attacker entities and device entities in the knowledge graph to transform the attack prediction to the link prediction of knowledge graph.According to this, apply path ranking algorithm was applied to mine the potential 0day attack in the target system and construct the 0day attack graph.Predicted the 0day attack path by utilizing the scores output by classifiers as the occurrence probabilities of single step attack and computing the occurrence probabilities of different attack paths.The experimental result shows that with the help of complete knowledge system provided by knowledge graph, the proposed method can reduce the dependence of prediction analysis on expert model and overcome the bad influence of 0day vulnerability to improve the accuracy of 0day attack prediction.And utilizing the characteristic that path ranking algorithm reasons based on the structure of graph can also help to backtrack the reasons of predicting results so as to improve the explainability of predicting.…”
