Multi-feature fusion malware detection method based on attention and gating mechanisms by Zhongyuan CHEN, Jianbiao ZHANG

“…With the rapid development of network technology, the number and variety of malware have been increasing, posing a significant challenge in the field of network security.However, existing single-feature malware detection methods have proven inadequate in representing sample information effectively.Moreover, multi-feature detection approaches also face limitations in feature fusion, resulting in an inability to learn and comprehend the complex relationships within and between features.These limitations ultimately lead to subpar detection results.To address these issues, a malware detection method called MFAGM was proposed, which focused on multimodal feature fusion.By processing the .asm and .bytes files of the dataset, three key features belonging to two types (opcode statistics sequences, API sequences, and grey-scale image features) were successfully extracted.This comprehensive characterization of sample information from multiple perspectives aimed to improve detection accuracy.In order to enhance the fusion of these multimodal features, a feature fusion module called SA-JGmu was designed.This module utilized the self-attention mechanism to capture internal dependencies between features.It also leveraged the gating mechanism to enhance interactivity among different features.Additionally, weight-jumping links were introduced to further optimize the representational capabilities of the model.Experimental results on the Microsoft malware classification challenge dataset demonstrate that MFAGM achieves higher accuracy and F1 scores compared to other methods in the task of malware detection.…”

Differential analysis of lightweight cipher algorithm ACE based on MILP by Shuai LIU, Jie GUAN, Bin HU, Sudong MA

“…The differential property of the lightweight cipher algorithm ACE was researched.n-dimension ring AND-gate combination was defined and its differential property was described accurately by only O(n) expressions with the MILP method by analyzing the relationship among AND gates.The nonlinear operation of ACE was transformed to the 32-dimension ring AND-gate combination and the MILP differential model of ACE was proposed.According to the characteristics of Gurobi solver, a model for fast solving the MILP differential model of ACE was given.For ACE permutation with 3 to 6 steps, the optimal differential characteristic was obtained and its probability was improved by multi-difference technique.The differential forge attack on authenticated encryption algorithm ACE-<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mi mathvariant="script">A</mi><mi mathvariant="script">E</mi></math></inline-formula>-128 and the differential collision attack on hash algorithm ACE-<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mi mathvariant="script">H</mi></math></inline-formula>-256 was given with 3-step ACE permutation, and the success probability was 2^-90.52.And it was proved that the 4-steps ACE permutation arrived the differential security bound of 128 bit.Actually, the MILP differential description of ring AND-gate combination can be applied on more cipher algorithms, such as SIMON, Simeck.…”
