Image recoloring detection based on inter-channel correlation by Nuo CHEN, Shuren QI, Yushu ZHANG, Mingfu XUE, Zhongyun HUA

“…Image recoloring is an emerging editing technique that can change the color style of an image by modifying pixel values.With the rapid proliferation of social networks and image editing techniques, recolored images have seriously hampered the authenticity of the communicated information.However, there are few works specifically designed for image recoloring.Existing recoloring detection methods still have much improvement space in conventional recoloring scenarios and are ineffective in dealing with hand-crafted recolored images.For this purpose, a recolored image detection method based on inter-channel correlation was proposed for conventional recoloring and hand-crafted recoloring scenarios.Based on the phenomenon that there were significant disparities between camera imaging and recolored image generation methods, the hypothesis that recoloring operations might destroy the inter-channel correlation of natural images was proposed.The numerical analysis demonstrated that the inter-channel correlation disparities can be used as an important discriminative metric to distinguish between recolored images and natural images.Based on such new prior knowledge, the proposed method obtained the inter-channel correlation feature set of the image.The feature set was extracted from the channel co-occurrence matrix of the first-order differential residuals of the differential image.In addition, three detection scenarios were assumed based on practical situations, including scenarios with matching and mismatching between training-testing data, and scenario with hand-crafted recoloring.Experimental results show that the proposed method can accurately identify recolored images and outperforms existing methods in all three hypothetical scenarios, achieving state-of-the-art detection accuracy.In addition, the proposed method is less dependent on the amount of training data and can achieve fairly accurate prediction results with limited training data.…”

Trials and tribulations: a qualitative exploration of researcher perspectives on navigating the challenges of health system implementation research by Natalie Taylor, April Morrow, Julia Steinberg, Emily Hogden, Deborah Debono, Elijah Tyedmers, Priscilla Chan, Gabriella Tiernan

“…Barriers and facilitators identified within themes were deductively coded to domains of the updated Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.Setting Participants were recruited from a research organisation based in Sydney, Australia.Participants A total of seven researcher and administering institution participants took part in four focus groups.Results Analysis highlighted the following themes: navigating bureaucracy, distinguishing implementation trials from clinical trials, the impact of COVID-19, balancing rigour and pragmatism in implementation trials, data access and complexity of analysis, and key learnings and future directions (subthemes: building relationships with ethics committees, communicating implementation concepts, streamlining of the implementation and research approach).Conclusions Findings highlight the need for streamlining current administrative and ethical review processes, as well as procedures that allow greater flexibility for researchers to respond to challenges as they arise. …”

EN-Bypass: a security assessment method on e-mail user interface notification by Jingyi YUAN, Zichuan LI, Guojun PENG

“…Email plays an important role in people’s daily communications, while also attracts the attention of hackers.Email is frequently used in phishing attacks, with email sender spoofing being a key step.To prevent sender-spoofing attacks, email vendors often deploy email security protocols such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to verify the sender’s identity.Moreover, some vendors add email UI notification mechanism on email clients to help users identify the real sender.However, there is no uniform standard in the implementation of the email UI notification mechanism, which varies among vendors.Whether the mechanism effectively prevents sender-spoofing attacks still needs verification.In this paper, the security evaluation of the email UI notification mechanism was studied to gain better understanding of its efficacy and to eventually protect users from sender-spoofing attacks.Ten world-famous email services were researched and evaluated, of which seven deployed the email UI notification mechanism.Consequently, a new type of sender-spoofing attack was proposed which was called EN-Bypass, aiming to bypass the email UI notification mechanism by forging the “From” and “Sender” fields in the email header.To verify the email UI notification mechanism’s security and reliability, EmailSenderChecker was implemented, which can automatically evaluate the existence of the EN-Bypass attack.The result shows that all seven email service vendors suffer from EN-Bypass attack.Attackers could bypass the email UI notification mechanism by constructing special email headers and spoofing the sender.Finally, to improve the mail service security, three suggestions about the email UI notification mechanism were proposed for the mail service vendors.…”
