High-performance directional fuzzing scheme based on deep reinforcement learning by Tian XIAO, Zhihao JIANG, Peng TANG, Zheng HUANG, Jie GUO, Weidong QIU

“…With the continuous growth and advancement of the Internet and information technology, continuous growth and advancement of the Internet and information technology.Nevertheless, these applications’ vulnerabilities pose a severe threat to information security and users’ privacy.Fuzzing was widely used as one of the main tools for automatic vulnerability detection due to its ease of vulnerability recurrence and low false positive errors.It generates test cases randomly and executes the application by optimization in terms of coverage or sample generation to detect deeper program paths.However, the mutation operation in fuzzing is blind and tends to make the generated test cases execute the same program path.Consequently, traditional fuzzing tests have problems such as low efficiency, high randomness of inputs generation and limited pertinence of the program structure.To address these problems, a directional fuzzing based on deep reinforcement learning was proposed, which used deep reinforcement learning networks with information obtained by staking program to guide the selection of the inputs.Besides, it enabled fast approximation and inspection of the program paths that may exist vulnerabilities.The experimental results showed that the proposed approach had better performance than the popular fuzzing tools such as AFL and AFLGO in terms of vulnerability detection and recurrence on the LAVA-M dataset and real applications like LibPNG and Binutils.Therefore, the approach can provide support for further vulnerability mining and security research.…”

5G value plane, the next generation of BSS/OSS consolidated architecture by Jie SUN, Tao SUN, Zhenqiang SUN, Yunxin LIU, Aidong YANG, Da WANG, Peng WANG, Xiaozhou YE, Ye OUYANG

“…With the development of the mobile communication and Internet technology, the traditional communication business has been developed from voice communication services to diversified and personalized information services, and the value chain structure of the communication industry has been changed from the mobile network operator (MNO)-centered mode to the user experience-centered mode.With the concept of “content-driven”, Internet content providers update their products actively to satisfy the users’ needs, which results in a rapid increase in the market share, while the MNOs are gradually being “pipelined” in the industry value chain.In the process of the digital transformation, MNOs have achieved the on-demand scheduling, flexible adaptation, and rapid deployment by reconfiguring and abstracting 5G network functions, and have enhanced the user experience using a user centric operation model based on the business support system (BSS)/operation support system(OSS)(BO) consolidation to ultimately achieve the enhancement in the value chain.On the basis of reviewing the development of the communication industry’s value chain, the challenges for MNOs to promote their values were analyzed.Meanwhile, a 5G value plane architecture based on embedded services in 5G networks was proposed, and the typical application scenarios were given.Path suggestions for the evolution of the 5G value plane were provided, which help MNOs to build the next generation of BSS/ OSS consolidation.…”
