[SPARTA - bodies.dissemination-committee] Submission

by Algimantas Venckauskas

Dear all, We have submitted the paper „Technical Threat Intelligence Analytics: What and How to Visualize for Analytic Process“ to the 24th International Conference ELECTRONICS 2020 Abstract: Visual Analytics uses data visualization methods for enabling compelling analysis of data by engaging graphical and visual representation. In the domain of cybersecurity, convincing visual representation of data enables to ascertain valuable observations that allow the domain experts to construct efficient cyberattack mitigation strategies and provide useful decision support. In this paper, we present a survey of the visual analytics tools and methods in the domain of cybersecurity. We explore and discuss Technical Threat Intelligence visualization tools using the Five Question Method. We conclude the analysis of the works using Moody’s Physics of Notations, and VIS4ML ontology as a methodological background of visual analytics process. This paper is still under evaluation. If it gets accepted, we will acknowledge SPARTA. Best, Algimantas Venčkauskas Kauno technologijos universitetas

Dear All, we submitted the paper /Multiscale Snapshots: Visual Analysis of Temporal Summaries in Dynamic Graphs/ to the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG). We request to acknowledge SPARTA if the paper is accepted. * Abstract: "The overview-driven visual analysis of large-scale dynamic graphs poses a major challenge. We propose Multiscale Snapshots, a visual analytics approach to analyze temporal summaries of dynamic graphs at multiple temporal scales. First, we recursively generate temporal summaries to abstract overlapping sequences of graphs into compact snapshots. Second, we apply graph embeddings to the snapshots to learn low-dimensional representations of each sequence of graphs to speed up specific analytical tasks (e.g., similarity search). Third, we visualize the evolving data from a coarse to fine-granular snapshots to semi-automatically analyze temporal states, trends, and outliers. The approach enables to discover similar temporal summaries (e.g., recurring states), reduces the temporal data to speed up automatic analysis, and to explore both structural and temporal properties of a dynamic graph. We demonstrate the usefulness of our approach by a quantitative evaluation and the application to a real-world dataset."

Dear all, we would like to belatedly register two publications. SPARTA had been acknowledged in both. They have already been added to the Spreadsheet of publications. **Backstabber's Knife Collection: A Review of Open Source Software Supply Chain Attacks** Ohm, M., Plate, H., Sykosch, A., Meier, M. (2020, July) 17th International Conference on Detection of Intrusions and Malware, and Vulnerability Assessment (p. 23). Springer. Abstract: A software supply chain attack is characterized by the injection of malicious code into a software package in order to compromise dependent systems further down the chain. Recent years saw a number of supply chain attacks that leverage the increasing use of open source during software development, which is facilitated by dependency managers that automatically resolve, download and install hundreds of open source packages throughout the software life cycle. Even though many approaches for detection and discovery of vulnerable packages exist, no prior work has focused on malicious packages. This paper presents a dataset as well as analysis of 174 malicious software packages that were used in real-world attacks on open source software supply chains and which were distributed via the popular package repositories npm, PyPI, and RubyGems. Those packages, dating from November 2015 to November 2019, were manually collected and analyzed. This work is meant to facilitate the future development of preventive and detective safeguards by open source and research communities. **Towards Detection of Software Supply Chain Attacks by Forensic Artifacts** Ohm, M., Sykosch, A., Meier, M. (2020, August) 15th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security. ACM. Abstract: Third-party dependencies may introduce security risks to the software supply chain and hence yield harm to their dependent software. There are many known cases of malicious open source packages posing risks to developers and end users. However, while efforts are made to detect vulnerable open source packages, malicious packages are not yet considered explicitly. In order to tackle this problem we perform an exploratory case study on previously occurred attacks on the software supply chain with respect to observable artifacts created. Based on gained insights, we propose Buildwatch, a framework for dynamic analysis of software and its third-party dependencies. We noticed that malicious packages introduce a significant amount of new artifacts during installation when compared to benign versions of the same package. The paper presents a first analysis of observable artifacts of malicious packages as well as a possible mitigation strategy that might lead to more insight in long term.

Dear all, We have submitted a research paper entitled "Privacy Enhancing Technologies for solving the Privacy-Personalization Paradox" that has been very recently accepted to the highly ranked Journal of Network and Computer Applications 2020. The file which is 1.5Mo is temporary available on: https://filesender.renater.fr/?s=download&token=efafad0d-72ac-420b-b466-e0e… <https://filesender.renater.fr/?s=download&token=efafad0d-72ac-420b-b466-e0e…> Abstract: Personal data are often collected and processed in a decen- tralized fashion, within different contexts. For instance, with the emer- gence of distributed applications, several providers are usually correlat- ing their records, and providing personalized services to their clients. Collected data include geographical and indoor positions of users, their movement patterns as well as sensor-acquired data that may reveal users’ physical conditions, habits and interests. Consequently, this may lead to undesired consequences such as unsolicited advertisement and even to discrimination and stalking. To protect users’ privacy, several tech- niques emerged, referred to as Privacy Enhancing Technologies, PETs for short, aiming at providing privacy preserving personalized ser- vices i.e., recommendation services, web-search systems and pervasive applications.This paper identifies a taxonomy classifying eight categories of PETs into three groups, and for better clarity it considers three categories of per- sonalized services. After presenting the main features of PETs with illustrative examples, the paper points out which PETs best fit each person- alized service category. Then, it discusses some of the inter-disciplinary privacy challenges that may slow down the adoption of these techniques, namely: technical, social, legal and economic concerns. Finally, it pro- vides recommendations and highlights several research directions. Please find the pre-final version of our paper attached to this email. If the dissemination committee raises no objections, we would like to acknowledge the SPARTA project.
