“Empirically Comparing the Performance of Blockchain’s Consensus Algorithms” by Ashar Ahmad, Abdulrahman Alabduljabbar, Muhammad Saad, Joongheon Kim, DaeHun Nyang, David Mohaisen is accepted by IET Blockchain.

Congratulations!

“Large-Scale and Robust Code Authorship Identification with Deep Feature Learning” by Mohammed Abuhamad (Loyola University Chicago), Tamer Abuhmed (Sungkyunkwan University), David Mohaisen (University of Central Florida), and DaeHun Nyang (Ewha Womans University) is accepted for publication in ACM Transactions on Privacy and Security today.

This paper is substantially extended from our previous work in ACM CCS 2018 by investigating binary code authorship identification using RNN with Random Forest as well as source code authorship identification.

Congratulations to all!

The work is on studying the impact on children by inappropriate comments in YouTube, and it is now accepted for publication in SocialNLP 2021.

Congratulations to Sultan and Ahmed!

Congratulations to Jiyoo, Changhun, Kyunghee, and David!

Our paper on alphabet entry method for smartwatch is accepted for publication in TMC, of which title is “A One-Page Text Entry Method Optimized for Rectangle Smartwatches” by RhongHo Jang, Changhun Jung, David Mohaisen, Kyunghee Lee, DaeHun Nyang.

Hope that this work helps to make it easier to input alphabet in smartwatch.

 

 

 

Last year was awesome. Our group had published successfully fair amount of papers in top venues like INFOCOM, ICDCS, PETS, IEEE IoT Journal, IEEE TC, etc. Still we are working on many exciting topics on streaming algorithms on a programmable router, AI attack, AI-powered network security, and more. The progress is rather slow, but the collaboration network among Prof. Mohaisen, Prof. Jang, and Prof. Abuhamad are settling down and so more amazing outcomes will be seen soon. Another important mission is to raise students at Ewha, a new home in Seoul. Four undergraduate interns will be joining us this month, and hope that they grow academically here in my lab. Welcome, Yuyeon, Sumin, Bomin, Yujin!

Our paper entitled “Contra-*: Mechanisms for Countering Spam Attacks on Blockchain’s Memory Pools” authored by Muhammad Saad, Joongheon Kim, DaeHun Nyang, David Mohaisen is accepted for publication in Journal of Network and Computer Applications (IF 5.570). Congratulations to Saad and all of us!

A paper entitled “e-PoS: Making Proof-of-Stake Decentralized and Fair” is now accepted in IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems written by Muhammad Saad, Zhan Qin, Kui Ren, DaeHun Nyang, and David Mohaisen.

e-PoS is a modular version of PoS-based blockchain systems that resists the centralization of network resources by extending mining opportunities to a wider set of stakeholders.

Congratulations to Saad and all of us!

Our paper titled “From Blue-Sky to Practical Adversarial Learning” is accepted in The 6th IEEE International Conference on Collaboration and Internet Computing. The paper is authored by Aminollah Khormali, Ahmed Abusnaina, Songqing Chen, Daehun Nyang and David Mohaisen.

This is a paper on adversarial example generation for binary code using visualization techniques. Unlike the previous works, this approach is able to generate an adversarial example code that is executable.

Congrats to all!

“Sensor-based Continuous Authentication of Smartphones’ Users Using Behavioral Biometrics: A Contemporary Survey” by Mohammed Abuhamad, Ahmed Abusnaina, DaeHun Nyang, David Mohaisen was accepted today for publication in IEEE Internet of Things Journal. Congratulations to all!


Our paper titled “SSD-assisted Ransomware Detection and Data Recovery Techniques” is accepted in IEEE Trans. on Computers.

This paper is about detecting ransomware as well as recovering encrypted files in FTL of SSD.

Congrats to Sungha, Youngdon, David, Sungjin!
