    Spec17Tre: A New Dataset in Hardware Security and Using Deep Learning for Detecting Spectre Attacks
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2025-05-21) Aktas-Aydin, Hatice; Yalcin, Gulay
    Computer performance has become a significant subject of study due to the processing of big data, the complexity of calculations and the importance of time efficiency. Many companies are improving processor operating principles to increase performance. The most common methods for this purpose are speculative execution and cache usage. While these techniques improve performance, they also introduce certain security vulnerabilities. Spectre is an attack that exploits vulnerabilities created by speculative execution, affecting all modern processor architectures. Research has shown that using machine learning to detect these attacks can be quite effective, although the features are typically gathered at the software level, which may limit detection since some performance parameters are not conveyed to the software. This study presents an analysis of Spectre attacks and their detection using machine learning and deep learning methods at the hardware level. Experiments are conducted using GEM5, a full-system hardware simulator, to ensure that only hardware-visible performance parameters are also collected. Attack detection is performed using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) methods. The LSTM method is used in conjunction with SVM and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) techniques, and all models were tested on a new dataset, Spec17Tre, created using "519.lbm" from the SPEC CPU2017 benchmarks. The study achieved a 95% accuracy rate in attack detection using the LSTM + CNN hybrid model, which also yielded an F1 score of 0.999 for detecting applied Spectre attack scenarios.

    Neurosec: FPGA-Based Neuromorphic Audio Security
    (Springer International Publishing AG, 2024) Isik, Murat; Vishwamith, Hiruna; Sur, Yusuf; Inadagbo, Kayode; Dikmen, I. Can
    Neuromorphic systems, inspired by the complexity and functionality of the human brain, have gained interest in academic and industrial attention due to their unparalleled potential across a wide range of applications. While their capabilities herald innovation, it is imperative to underscore that these computational paradigms, analogous to their traditional counterparts, are not impervious to security threats. Although the exploration of neuromorphic methodologies for image and video processing has been rigorously pursued, the realm of neuromorphic audio processing remains in its early stages. Our results highlight the robustness and precision of our FPGA-based neuromorphic system. Specifically, our system showcases a commendable balance between desired signal and background noise, efficient spike rate encoding, and unparalleled resilience against adversarial attacks such as FGSM and PGD. A standout feature of our framework is its detection rate of 94%, which, when compared to other methodologies, underscores its greater capability in identifying and mitigating threats within 5.39 dB, a commendable SNR ratio. Furthermore, neuromorphic computing and hardware security serve many sensor domains in mission-critical and privacy-preserving applications.
