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.…”

A phenomenological model of non-genomic variability of luminescent bacterial cells by S. I. Bartsev

“…To describe experimental distributions, a phenomenological model that links the light of a bacterial cell with the history of events at the molecular level was constructed. The proposed phenomenological model with a minimum number of fitting parameters (1.5) provides a satisfactory description of the complex process of formation of cell distributions by luminescence intensity at different stages of bacterial culture growth. …”

IN, THROUGH, WITH et l’expression de la causalité en anglais contemporain. Un exemple d’application des concepts de la TOPÉ by Lise Hamelin

“…This is what gives rise to the semantic difference between (3) and (4).(3) Managers can also be what [inaudible] referred to as ‘stress carriers’, causing stress for those around them, for example by being ‘the lovable incompetent boss who sets objectives, then changes his mind, or the flip-side of that, the dictator boss who rules with fear’.(4) Gordon Brown “I ruled in fear” he says more than once.By involving distinct locating operations, IN, THROUGH and WITH construct causality differently, hence the specifi semantic profile of each marker, for example the fact that with THROUGH, the locator is construed as infelicitous. …”

NLP neural network copyright protection based on black box watermark by Long DAI, Jing ZHANG, Xuefeng FAN, Xiaoyi ZHOU

“…With the rapid development of natural language processing techniques, the use of language models in text classification and sentiment analysis has been increasing.However, language models are susceptible to piracy and redistribution by adversaries, posing a serious threat to the intellectual property of model owners.Therefore, researchers have been working on designing protection mechanisms to identify the copyright information of language models.However, existing watermarking of language models for text classification tasks cannot be associated with the owner’s identity, and they are not robust enough and cannot regenerate trigger sets.To solve these problems, a new model, namely black-box watermarking scheme for text classification tasks, was proposed.It was a scheme that can remotely and quickly verify model ownership.The copyright message and the key of the model owner were obtained through the Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC), and the message digest obtained by HMAC can prevent forgery and had high security.A certain amount of text data was randomly selected from each category of the original training set and the digest was combined with the text data to construct the trigger set, then the watermark was embedded on the language model during the training process.To evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, watermarks were embedded on three common language models on the IMDB’s movie reviews and CNews text classification datasets.The experimental results show that the accuracy of the proposed watermarking verification scheme can reach 100% without affecting the original model.Even under common attacks such as model fine-tuning and pruning, the proposed watermarking scheme shows strong robustness and resistance to forgery attacks.Meanwhile, the embedding of the watermark does not affect the convergence time of the model and has high embedding efficiency.…”
