Towards Continuous User Authentication Using Personalised Touch-Based Behaviour (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aaby, P., Giuffrida, M. V., Buchanan, W. J., & Tan, Z. (2020). Towards Continuous User Authentication Using Personalised Touch-Based Behaviour. In 2020 IEEE Intl Conf on Dependable, Autonomic and Secure Computing, Intl Conf on Pervasive Intelligence and

In this paper, we present an empirical evaluation of 30 features used in touch-based continuous authentication. It is essential to identify the most significant features for each user, as behaviour is different amongst humans. Thus, a fixed feature s...

Improving Classification of Metamorphic Malware by Augmenting Training Data with a Diverse Set of Evolved Mutant Samples (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Babaagba, K., Tan, Z., & Hart, E. (2020, July). Improving Classification of Metamorphic Malware by Augmenting Training Data with a Diverse Set of Evolved Mutant Samples. Presented at The 2020 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE CEC 2020), Glas

Detecting metamorphic malware provides a challenge to machine-learning models as trained models might not generalise to future mutant variants of the malware. To address this, we explore whether machine-learning models can be improved by augmenting t...
