RASP based Web security detection method by Hang YU, Shuai WANG, Huamin JIN

“…At present,the traditional Web security detection methods act on the input and output of the program,which can not prevent malicious code entering the program after being distorted and confused,and it is difficult to meet the new requirements of Web application security protection.Based on the in-depth analysis of the risk of traditional data flow monitoring methods,combined with the technical characteristics of rasp,a Web security detection method based on rasp was proposed.The rasp probe was embedded in the parameters of authority discrimination function,system command execution function and database operation function in Web application,and the change of data flow was detected in real-time at the code interpreter level.This method was implemented based on Java language.It was proved in the laboratory that this method is better than the traditional Web security detection method in accuracy and detection time.Finally,the deployment and application scenarios of this method were analyzed and proposed.…”

Multi-level loss object tracking adversarial attack method based on spatial perception by Xu CHENG, Yingying WANG, Nianjie ZHANG, Zhangjie FU, Beijing CHEN, Guoying ZHAO

“…In order to solve the problem that it is difficult for the existing adversarial disturbance techniques to effectively reduce the discrimination ability of the trackers and make the trajectory deviation rapidly, an effective object tracking adversarial attack method was proposed.First, deception loss, drift loss and attention mechanism-based loss was designed to jointly train generator based on the consideration of the high-level categories and the low-level features.Then, the clean image was sent to the trained generator to generate the adversarial samples that were used to interfere with the object trackers, which made the object trajectory deviation and reduced the tracking accuracy.Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves 54% reduction in success rate and 70% reduction in accuracy on OTB dataset, which can attack the object of tracking quickly in complex scenes.…”

Person re-identification using mid-level features with vertical global appearance constraint by Yadong WANG, Rong ZHANG, Huihui JIANG, Lijun GUO

“…Mid-level features with the semantic information can provide stronger discrimination in the person re-identification than low-level features.But like the low-level features,the mid-level features also use local feature matching methods and easily leads mismatch problem when different pedestrians have similar appearance features in some local areas.Considering the same pedestrians are more similar than different pedestrians in the vertical direction since pedestrians are almost always in a standing position,global vertical appearance constraints was introduced.Furtherly,a method for person re-identification was proposed which fuses the low-level densely patch-matching and the mid-level features with the global vertical appearance constraints.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a higher hit rate than the existing methods on the most challenging public VIPeR database and CUHK01 database.…”
