Uso de Chamadas WASI para a Identificação de Ameaças em Aplicações WebAssembly
Authors: Heinrich Tiago , Will Newton C. , Obelheiro Rafael R. , Maziero Carlos A.
Published: February 2024

WebAssembly (ou Wasm) é um formato de bytecode que vem ganhando rápida adoção devido a seu bom desempenho, representação compacta, e portabilidade. Ele é mais usado como alvo de compilação para linguagens de programação de alto nível, como C, C++, Go e Rust, podendo ser executado dentro de navegadores Web ou em runtimes nativos. Embora a segurança seja uma meta do projeto do WebAssembly, ainda existem problemas com código malicioso, especialmente para aplicações Web. Este artigo introduz um método para realizar detecção baseada em anomalias de binários Wasm maliciosos, por meio de análise dinâmica. É proposta uma classificação de chamadas WASI – equivalentes no Wasm a chamadas de sistema – de acordo com seu risco e funcionalidade, a qual é usada para categorizar as chamadas realizadas por binários Wasm, o que permite detectar binários maliciosos usando modelos de aprendizagem de máquina. Os resultados obtidos mostram que esta é uma abordagem promissora para a identificação de código WebAssembly malicioso.

Published: February 2024

WebAssembly é um formato binário de baixo nível, que oferece um alvo de compilação para linguagens de alto nível. Oferecendo mais segurança para os usuários na Web, com um formato de instruções binárias o WebAssembly é suportado por mais de 95% dos navegadores Web. No entanto, o crescimento no uso do WebAssembly trouxe preocupações em relação à sua segurança e seu possível uso de forma maliciosa. Dado que o WebAssemby é um formato de instruções de baixo nível, torna-se essencial a identificação do propósito dos códigos desenvolvidos, por meio da extração de suas características. O uso de WebAssembly para ataques de cryptojacking e ofuscação de códigos maliciosos é frequentemente observado. Nesse contexto, esse trabalho apresenta uma estratégia para a identificação de anomalias em binários WebAssembly, através de extração de características e análise estática. A estratégia proposta neste artigo alcançou um f1score de 99.3%, evidenciando seu potencial.
A Minimal White-Box Dedicated Cipher Proposal Using Incompressible Lookup Tables: Space-Hard AES
Authors: Rodrigues Félix Carvalho , Dahab Ricardo , López Julio , Fujii Hayato , Serpa Ana Clara Zoppi
Published: February 2024

In a white-box context, an attacker has full access to the execution environment and the implementation of cryptographic algorithms. Dedicated white-box ciphers, such as WEM and SPNbox, provide incompressibility and key extraction protections in this context, at the cost of increased memory usage and performance loss compared to standard ciphers. Even when a pure white-box threat model is not warranted, the use of incompressible lookup tables can be helpful in deterring side-channel attacks. In this paper we present a simple threat model for such scenarios and propose a dedicated cipher, Space-Hard AES, which provides minimal incompressibility guarantees while presenting better performance for ARMv8 implementations than other dedicated ciphers.

A atual tendência de implantar serviços online pode expor os sistemas existentes a tentativas de invasão e vazamento de dados. Além disso, são necessárias soluções de segurança que não alterem os sistemas legados dos clientes. Dentro deste contexto, este artigo apresenta um sistema para proteger os dados sensíveis de bancos de dados existentes (sistemas legados de clientes) com base em duas técnicas, as quais adequamos à nossa solução: Busca em Criptografia simétrica para bancos de dados (SSE-DB) e (2) Permutação e manutenção de propriedades anonimização (PPM-Anon). O sistema proposto evita problemas de vazamento de dados e violação de privacidade, anexando uma solução de segurança aos bancos de dados existentes (sem nenhuma alteração nesses sistemas legados). Resultados de experimentos reais usando um ambiente de nuvem real sugerem que a solução proposta é adequada para proteger os dados sem prejudicar o desempenho dos serviços existentes.

Authors: Lima Matheus H. , Neira Anderson B. de , Borges Ligia F. , Nogueira Michele
Published: February 2024

A predição de ataques de negação de serviço distribuído (DDoS) é essencial para aumentar o tempo no combate aos ataques. Grande parte das soluções de predição de ataques DDoS utiliza dados rotulados, que é um processo custoso e limita a aplicação em ambientes reais. Para diminuir a dependência de dados rotulados, este trabalho apresenta PREDICTOR, um sistema para a predição de ataques DDoS baseado na teoria dos sinais precoces de alerta e na detecção de outliers. O sistema usa a teoria dos sinais precoces de alerta para indicar sinais da preparação dos ataques. Ele prediz o ataque usando o algoritmo One-Class SVM, um detector de outlier. Os resultados indicam que a predição ocorreu 31 minutos antes do início do ataque com acurácia de 91%.

Published: February 2024

O desenvolvimento de soluções de segurança capazes de identificar e bloquear ameaças de malware nunca foi tão necessário. Contudo, observam-se nas soluções atuais limitações, sobretudo de desempenho e escalabilidade, as quais prejudicam a resolução deste problema. Dessa forma, este trabalho apresenta o SAUCY SPICE: uma solução baseada em assinatura capaz de identificar e bloquear softwares maliciosos através da criação de políticas com alta capacidade de generalização, e um módulo de detecção focado em eficiência e desempenho. Experimentalmente, foi observado overhead mínimo e alta taxa de acerto na identificação e bloqueio dos malwares.
FedSBS: Seleção de Participantes Baseado em Pontuação para Aprendizado Federado no Cenário de Detecção de Intrusão
Authors: Cunha Neto Helio N. , Fernandes Natalia C. , Mattos Diogo M. F.
Published: February 2024

Sistemas de Detecção de Intrusão baseados em Aprendizado Federado apresentam desafios para a segurança cibernética, incluindo a gestão de dados desbalanceados e interferência de participantes maliciosos. O Aprendizado Federado é uma abordagem colaborativa de aprendizado de máquina e permite que participantes treinem modelos com seus dados locais, preservando a privacidade. Os modelos locais são agregados em um modelo global. Contudo, participantes maliciosos podem comprometer o modelo global com dados aleatórios ou enviesados. Este artigo propõe o método FedSBS para a seleção de participantes. O FedSBS visa pontuar a contribuição de cada participante e, então, proceder com a seleção de participantes. O método busca minimizar os riscos representados por participantes maliciosas concomitantemente com a otimização do desempenho do modelo global. A proposta demonstra desempenho superior quando comparada a outros métodos de seleção de participantes, atingindo 80% da métrica F1, 90% de acurácia e 69% de precisão no conjunto de testes com presença de participantes maliciosos. FedSBS mantém o desempenho do modelo global mesmo no cenário com 60% de participantes maliciosos.
Besonderheiten des schweizerischen Parlamentarismus, des Parteien- und Wahlsystems
Authors: Dähler Thomas
Published: February 2024

The parliamentary culture in the three levels of government in Switzerland (federal, can- tonal, and municipal) differs in various ways from the parliamentary customs and practices in other European countries, particularly in Germany and Austria . The strong tradition of popular rights in Switzerland shapes the work and impact of the parliaments at all three levels . Popular rights form the core of direct democracy . They allow for proposing revisions to constitutional and legislative provisions (popular initiative) or voting on parliamentary decisions retrospectively (referendum) . They thus expand the indirect democracy that is limited to the election of individuals . In addition to a brief overview of the history and orientation of political parties, the procedures for the election of parliaments at the federal and cantonal levels are examined . Other peculiarities include the mostly annual rotation of the presidencies of the Swiss parliaments and the principle of part-time participation in the parliaments .
Die kantonalen Parlamente der Schweiz: Ein kleiner Kosmos an historischem und modernem Parlamentarismus
Authors: von Wyss Moritz
Published: February 2024

The cantonal parliaments were an important organ of the liberal revolution in the 19th century to democratize Switzerland . There was even a parliamentary supremacy in the cen- tury before last . But what has become of this powerful position? For historical and political reasons, the cantonal parliaments play more a secondary role today, although they still have a strong position under constitutional law . At the same time, this contrasts with the diver- sity of parliamentary life and parliamentary instruments, which have a long tradition . The chances of the cantonal parliaments regaining an important central position today are to be found in the mediating role between government and direct democratic popular rights, i .e . in the idea of parliament as a place to discuss and to make public responsibility transparent, to integrate minorities and to order and satisfy the political dispute . Only, this would require political will .
Wandel der Kommunikation in der digitalen Welt: Pluralisierung, Individualisierung und Dynamisierung als Herausforderungen für Parlamente
Authors: Vowe Gerhard
Published: February 2024

How is parliamentary communication changing as a result of parliaments, committees, and MPs using digital media? There are three important changes . First, parliamentary commu- nication is becoming more pluralized; more parliamentary voices are being heard . Second, it is becoming more individualized; messages are more individually tailored . Third, it is becoming more dynamic, i .e . faster and shorter, more volatile and more surprising . These changes are ambivalent . Following Jürgen Habermas, Utz Schliesky emphatically warns of the dangers . But: the warnings are not sufficiently backed up by empirical evidence . After all, there is no evidence of a terminal decline of parliaments after 30 years of experience with digital media . Furthermore, an international comparison of parliaments would not provide any evidence that the more a parliament used digital options, the less important it would become in shaping public opinion . And above all: the view of the disintegration of parliament through digital-based communication is not shared by parliamentary players – on the contrary . The following speaks against the measures proposed by Schliesky . First, instead of a “self-restriction”, a communication code for MPs would make sense . Second, in the “rules of the game for digital spaces”, it remains unclear where there is a regulatory gap . And third, “public digital platforms” are by no means politically feasible .
Die Staatskirchenverträge Preußens 1929 und 1931
Authors: Rehtmeyer Marcus
Published: February 2024

A history of law of the Prussian state and its legal relations to the churches since the late 18th century: Considering this background the treaties of Prussia and its churches 1929 and 1931 are by no means accidental. They were the culmination of a development towards greater freedom and independence from the state, which in part contradicted the processes in the Reich, the Federation and other German states. It did not follow an immovable ideal of the relationship between state and church, but was always a pragmatic reaction to real political problems. The treaties themselves are shaping further developments in East and West and the reunified Germany until today.
Duineser Elegien
Authors: Rilke Rainer Maria
Published: February 2024

Der fulminante Auftakt einer maßgeblichen und umfassenden Rilke-Edition, die erstmals den bisher im Familienbesitz befindlichen Nachlass des Dichters umfassend berücksichtigt. Von den ersten Versen der »Duineser Elegien«, »Wer, wenn ich schriee, hörte mich aus der Engel / Ordnungen?« bis zur letzten Strophe: »Und wir, die an steigendes Glück / denken, empfänden die Rührung, / die uns beinah bestürzt, / wenn ein Glückliches fällt.« leben die zehn darin versammelten Gedichte in unserem kulturellen Gedächtnis. Zum ersten Mal wird in dieser Edition der philologisch gesicherte Text dieses zwischen 1912 und 1922 entstandenen Zyklus präsentiert, der sich auf eine bislang unbekannte, weitläufige Materiallage stützt. Darunter sind Rilkes Vorarbeiten, die Reinschriften der Gedichte und zahllose Abschriften, die er im Freundeskreis verschenkte. Im selben Zeitraum wie die »Duineser Elegien« sind viele ästhetisch vollendete Gedichte entstanden, die eine Nähe zum Zyklus besaßen, doch nicht zur Langform von Rilkes Elegien passten. Rilke schätzte diese Gedichte sehr und hätte gern neben dem Zyklus einen zweiten Band mit dem Titel »Fragmentarisches / (der »Duineser Elegien« zweiter Theil)« veröffentlicht. Dazu kam es nicht. Diesen Werkkomplex präsentiert die neue Ausgabe erstmals systematisch. So wird den Lesenden ermöglicht, durch die Aura der Gedichte hindurch zu sehen und den kreativen Schaffensprozess nachzuvollziehen.
Rurbanität in der Großstadt
Authors: von Voithenberg Britta
Published: February 2024

Ländliche Strukturen inmitten urbaner Räume - eine grundlegend neue Perspektive der Stadtgeschichte Ein findiger Geschäftsmann eröffnete 1878 in München eine Milchkuranstalt, in der die Kund:innen Milch direkt neben der Erzeugerkuh konsumieren konnten. Parallel entwickelten sich in Dresden Kleingärten, in denen die Eigentümer:innen neben Obst-, Gemüse- und Zierpflanzenbau Nutztierhaltung praktizierten. Beide Phänomene entsprachen dem zeitgenössischen Bedürfnis nach ruralen Strukturen inmitten urbaner Räume: Einen Teil der Stadtbevölkerung zwang die ökonomische Notlage zur Teilselbstversorgung, andere strebten, angestoßen durch hygienische Debatten, nach mehr Kontakt zum Entstehungszusammenhang ihrer Lebensmittel. Anschaulich, mit einer Vielzahl an Quellen, verdeutlicht Britta von Voithenberg den Stellenwert, den rurale Strukturen und Räume in den Großstädten Dresden und München in der Phase ihres größten Wachstums hatten. Mit dem ruralen Blick deckt sie bislang unerkannte urban-rurale Verschränkungsräume auf und zeigt damit, dass die modernen Metropolen viel ländlicher waren, als es in der Urbanisierungsforschung oft erscheint. Als zentrales Analyseelement dient der Begriff der »Rurbanität« - eine geschichtswissenschaftlich neue Herangehensweise an großstädtische Geschichte.
Midyear or End of Year Present Value Factors? Clues from Valuation in Discrete and Continuous Time
Authors: Abrams Jay B.
Published: February 2024

This article addresses whether appraisers should be using midyear or end-of-year present value factors. Although this is a topic that other authors and I have addressed, this article has some unique and novel approaches to the topic. The mathematics in this article accounts for cash flow growth within and between years rather than between years only, as others have modeled. We model in both discrete and continuous time, with discrete time in multiple time frames, almost continuous, daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual cash flows. Our continuous time results are very surprising. We conclude that, absent strong seasonality, midyear annual cash flows are very accurate and very little difference is seen in valuation results between quarterly, monthly, daily, and continuous cash flows. They are all close to midyear Gordon model multiple results.
On Improving Estimation of Co-Movements in Stochastically Correlated Inputs in Monte Carlo Simulations
Authors: Herr James K. , Grubbs Jonathan
Published: February 2024

This article introduces the use of the Gerber statistic when performing a Monte Carlo simulation for cases when two or more random inputs are correlated. When interdependent random variables violate certain standard assumptions required for use of the traditional historical Pearson correlation matrix, the Gerber statistic can provide a better estimate of correlation and, consequently, of the value of the subject asset. This article examines the strengths and weakness of the Gerber method relative to the traditional method and provides an example of how to apply the Gerber method, assuming that the two correlated random variables violate one or more assumptions related to the Pearson correlation coefficient.
Enhancing pedagogical creativity: A comprehensive study of self-professional development among ESL educators
Authors: Abou Assali Mouna
Published: February 2024

This article delves into the dynamic realm of English as a Second Language (ESL) education, specifically focusing on the critical aspect of pedagogical creativity among ESL educators. With the ever-evolving landscape of language instruction, the need for innovative teaching methods and strategies is paramount. The study adopted a mixed methodology (Quantitative and Qualitative approach) to collect data from the subjects and concerned thematic and statistical analysis was performed to identify and extract the emerging themes to capture a comprehensive understanding of the strategies ESL educators employ for their professional growth. The study reveals that self-driven professional development initiatives significantly influence educators’ creative pedagogical practices. Educators who actively engage in a diverse range of activities, reflective practice, technology integration, distinct perceptions of self-professional development, creative teaching practices, and continuous learning demonstrate a higher level of pedagogical creativity. Furthermore, this research uncovers the diverse range of resources and activities ESL educators utilize to foster creativity, including technology integration, cultural sensitivity training, and the exploration of innovative teaching materials. These findings shed light on the multifaceted nature of self-professional development and its potential to revitalize ESL classrooms, ultimately benefiting students by promoting more engaging and effective language learning experiences. This study offers valuable insights for educators, institutions, and policymakers seeking to nurture and amplify pedagogical creativity in the ESL education landscape.

Meat is Meat
Authors: Tierney Scott ,   After Dinner Conversation
Published: February 2024

How do we decide what meat is acceptable to eat? In this philosophical short story fiction, a crew of over a 100 are onboard a ship, and slowly starving. The captain is worried they might all starve before finding their way to shoreline. They try fishing off the side of the boat, the but seas are uncharacteristically empty, that is, until they net a mermaid. As the unconscious mermaid hangs upside down the cook, the captain, and key members of the crew try to decide what to do with her, or “it” as the captain prefer they call her. It’s unclear if she is able to speak or understand them, as she is unconscious. A few of the crew argue against eating her, or at least telling the whole crew about her and giving them each the choice. The captain, however, is unwavering and insists that “meat is meat” and they should get to work planning dinner.

Published: February 2024

La implementación de espolones o técnicas estructurales duras como plan de estabilización de la línea costera ante efectos de erosión, ha sido la medida frecuente para mitigar esta problemática en las costas del Caribe Norte Colombiano. En la playa de Sabanilla, Departamento del Atlántico, se llevó a cabo un análisis utilizando imágenes satelitales entre los años de 2004 a 2017 para determinar la evolución de la línea costera. Los resultados se basaron en la observación de cambios temporales asociados con la instalación de espolones en los años 2007 y 2015. Además, se realizó una evaluación de la calidad ambiental de la playa, considerando las características del entorno antes y después de la instalación del espolón. Los análisis en el agua se destacó mejoras en parámetros fisicoquímicos como el color que paso de 40 y 80 UPC a valores de 5, 10 y 20 UPC, la turbiedad de 58,7 NTU se redujo a valores entre los 3,2 a 17,4 NTU. Los coliformes totales y fecales en agua cumplieron con el criterio de calidad de la norma colombiana, mientras que los coliformes fecales en la arena de la playa incumplen el valor máximo permisible <100 NMP/10g. La carga turística y los residuos sólidos incrementaron notoriamente después de la intervención de la playa. Los espolones en la playa de Sabanilla tienen efectos positivos y negativos en la calidad del agua de la playa. Por un lado, capturan eficientemente sedimentos, redujo la turbidez y da la apariencia de agua más clara y limpia cerca de los espigones. Sin embargo, también pueden alterar los patrones de flujo de agua y favorecer la acumulación de residuos sólidos, lo que puede tener impactos negativos en la calidad del agua. Los efectos de la erosión en la playa de Sabanilla se pueden mitigar, pero la estabilización de la playa ha traído más visitantes y consigo ha propiciado afectaciones estéticas y sanitarias, siendo necesario adoptar medidas preventivas que integren todo el ecosistema para su conservación.
Arquivos artísticos: práticas discursivas e suas visualidades
Authors: Trindade Rogerio Vanderlei de Lima
Published: February 2024

Este artigo investiga possíveis relações entre as noções de arquivo e os conteúdos de algumas obras de arte para averiguar as possibilidades teóricas de uma aproximação conceitual entre o pensamento de Foucault, as obras de arte – que, nessa abordagem, alinham-se ao que denominaremos de arquivos artísticos – e algumas práticas discursivas. A pesquisa é eminentemente teórica, com revisão de literatura e seus operadores conceituais foram Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Nicolas Bourriaud. A reflexão discute aproximações e distinções sobre alguns artefatos africanos, arquivos de arte não europeia que foram arrancados de seus sítios-origem e transpostos para contextos distintos. A tentativa de englobar e trazer para as sintaxes visuais europeias os autos culturais estrangeiros evidenciaram as abordagens formalistas e exóticas convencionadas a partir da apropriação e do intercâmbio dos viveres e saberes africanos. Distintos artefatos africanos quando descontextualizados de sua função simbólica contribuem para um litígio conceitual presente nas discursividades e nos dispositivos de arte discutidos nessa investigação.

‘People in Black’: Semantization of the concepts ‘sectant’ and ‘baptist’ in the anti-religious campaign of 1958—1964
Authors: Savina Tatiana V.
Published: February 2024

In the post-revolutionary era, the population's adoption of a new political vocabulary demanded the Soviet authorities to play the role of the interpretant. They engaged in the pro­cess of assigning meanings to new concepts through mass media and fiction. Simultaneously, established concepts had to undergo reshaping to align with the new worldview of the 'Soviet citizen’. The transformation of the semantic structure of religious vocabulary, ideologically marked, reflected the shift in the fundamental values of Soviet society. This article, employing component and contextual analyses, explores the target semantization process of key concepts during Khrushchev's 1958—1964 anti-religious campaign, specifically focusing on 'sektant' and 'baptist'. Through mass media and propaganda literature, a set of semantic features for these terms was imposed on the children's audience in ideological contexts. The analysis of linguistic material from numerous sources such as the newspaper Pionerskaya Pravda, Pioner and Koster children's magazines, and selected works of children's literature reveals that the target audience — school children — led to the emergence of semantic primitives. This in­vol­ved significantly narrowing the semantics of the words 'sektant' and 'baptist.' Linguistic tools such as new lexical pairs ('sectarian-Baptist,' 'fanatics and bigots,' 'subversives and villains') and linguistic markers related to colour, sound, appearance, age, and location were employed. These tools helped develop a negative image of a Protestant believer and ultimately transformed the concepts of ‘sectant’ and ‘baptist’ into political labels.
PROBLEMS OF USING THE RESULTS OF AN OPERATIONAL EXPERIMENT AND TEST PURCHASE IN PROVING A CRIMINAL CASE
Authors:   Ural State Law University, Luchinkin Fedor M.
Published: February 2024

The study presents the concept of the special evidentiary value of the results of operational experiments and test purchases. This is due to the fact that these actions reflect a criminal event carried out under the control of law enforcement authorities. To dispel doubts about the admissibility of documented results of such operational measures, a legal standard for their conduct is developed. Unlike sectoral developments regarding such a legal standard, an interdisciplinary legal standard is proposed. It includes criminal procedural norms, norms of criminal investigative law, as well as judicial precedents. Compliance with this standard should guarantee the admissibility of using the results of these operational measures in criminal procedural evidence. Simultaneously, the rights of individuals implicated in the commission of a crime must be ensured. The material-legal and procedural components of the standard for the lawful conduct of operational experiments and test purchases are analyzed. A material-legal criterion for distinguishing lawful operational experiments and test purchases from entrapment is formulated. Criteria for the procedural component of this legal standard are provided. In conclusion, a synthesis of all analyzed components is made in the form of a comprehensive standard for the activities of law enforcement authorities, preliminary investigation bodies, and prosecutors in forming evidence of charges from the results of operational experiments and test purchases. The conclusions drawn can be used in the field of operational and investigative activities and criminal procedural evidence to eliminate legal uncertainty and increase the effectiveness of prosecuting individuals who have committed serious, covert crimes. Additionally, it may reduce the professional risk for operational personnel authorized to conduct these activities.
Potential Study of Using Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems for Power Supply of Tourism Camp in Mongolia
Authors: Batjargal Nomuulin , Byambaa Sergelen , Tumurchudur Turbat
Published: February 2024

Due to the increase in the number of tourists coming from abroad, tourism camps have become interested in offering distinctive experiences, such as being close to nature and eco-friendly. Therefore, utilizing a hybrid renewable energy system for power supply becomes an attractive, nature-friendly, and reliable option for users located in remote areas disconnected from the central network. This article evaluates the electricity demand and associated costs for tourist camps using three different types of hybrid systems consisting of solar photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, diesel generators, battery storage, and converters. PV/wind systems will cost twice as much as PV/wind/battery systems. Additionally, they are not environmentally suitable due to the large number of batteries. PV/wind/battery systems, comprising a 3 kW capacity PV, a 5 kW capacity wind turbine, and batteries, could offer greater flexibility for tourist camps. This system is estimated to generate 19,303 kWh/year of electricity while not emitting greenhouse gases, despite being more expensive than a PV/wind/diesel hybrid system. The HOMER Pro software is used in this paper for optimization and techno-economic analysis.
