4th International Workshop on Security Intricacies in Cyber-Physical Systems and Services (INTRICATE-SEC 2016)  held in conjunction with the 30th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-2016) Topics of Interest

ABSTRACT We are planning a research agenda looking at how people react to malware warnings. Prior research has shown that people ignore malware warnings. Our research will look at the neuroscience associated with subjects’ identification, recall, and reaction to malware warnings.

ABSTRACT Modern malware developers make extensive use of sophisticated obfuscation tools, causing a steady decline in the detection capabilities of anti-virus (AV) file scanners. This motivates the need for new ways to detect malware without relying on the inspection of a file's content. As most modern malware are distributed through network downloads, we should aim to complement AV scanners with systems that detect malware files based on where they come from, rather than only considering how they look like.
