Dear All,
we submitted a workshop paper "ModelSpeX: Model Specification Using
Explainable Artificial Intelligence Methods" to the**MLVis 2020
Workshop. We request to acknowledge SPARTA if the paper is accepted.
Abstract:
* /Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods aim to reveal the
non-transparent decision-making mechanisms of black-box models
(e.g., deep learning models). The evaluation of insight generated by
such XAI methods remains challenging as the applied techniques
depend on many factors (e.g., parameters, human interpretation). We
propose ModelSpeX, a visual analytics workflow to interactively
extract human-centered rule-sets to generate model specifications
from black-box models. The workflow enables to reason about the
underlying problem, to extract rule sets, and to evaluate the
suitability of the models for a particular task. An exemplary usage
scenario walks an analyst trough the steps of the workflow to show
the applicability.//

Dear all,
We have submitted the paper “Disconnection attacks against LoRaWAN 1.0.X ABP devices” which has been accepted in the IEEE MetComNet 2020 conference. The paper is about IoT devices security, and as such is strongly related to WP6. We would like to acknowledge the SPARTA project. Please find the abstract below.
Best regards,
Giorgio Bernardinetti
> Abstract - Previous research work has already documented vulnerabilities of LoRaWAN 1.0.x, in the form of Replay Attacks which may cause disconnection situations. To face (also) these concerns, modern network servers implement careful techniques to handle sequence numbers (frame counters) in the presence of unexpected/out-of-sequence messages. In this paper we show that, despite such patches, the problem of dis- connection attacks is still widely open. We document a number of new replay-type attacks which target ABP (Activation By Personalization) devices, namely devices which are deployed with an hard-coded set of session keys, and which may cause a range of disconnection situations, including extremely long term ones - the worst case being in the order of 232 message transmissions (hundreds/thousands years considering ordinary IoT rates). We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed attacks by analyzing its impact on three different LoRaWAN network server implementations (two well known open-source network servers, and a proprietary network server co-developed by us), and by experimentally demonstrate their practicality on two of said network servers (ours and ChirpStack). Finally, we discuss trade-offs and mitigation actions, though we remark that these attacks appear intrinsic in the LoRaWAN 1.0.x specification, and can be ultimately fixed only by migrating to LoRaWAN 1.1.

Dear All,
we plan to submit a journal paper with the title: Towards Formal Verification of IoT Protocols: A Review
We do not have any sensitive information in the journal paper. The abstract is below:
Abstract:
Formal verification is a crucial method to detect possible weaknesses and possible vulnerabilities already at an early stage.
Formal Verification is one of the crucial method to detect possible weaknesses and vulnerabilities at an early stage. This paper reviews formal methods for an extensive variety of protocols used in the IoT environment. It gives detailed descriptions of the considered properties and the applied methods. An in-depth literature review shows that four application fields can be distinguished, namely: (1) functional checks,
(2) checks on security properties, (3) suggestions for enhanced schemes including a priori security property checks and (4) implementation checks of protocols. This paper further offers a comprehensive overview of the covered security properties and of commonly used tools for protocols in the field. Additionally, an extensive description and overview of commonly used model checkers is given and open issues and challenges in the IoT field are addressed.
If accepted, we plan to acknowledge SPARTA.

Dear dissemination committee,
I apologize for the late notification. We are about to submit an article on a prototype of legitimate traffic generation for an IoT use case, that is part of Task 5.1 of CAPE program where we deal, as IMT, with the evaluation of IDS/SIEM.
The generation of legitimate traffic is intended to produce background noise, prevent private information leakage (in case of traffic replay) and assess the robustness of IDS/SIEM against false positives.
The submission itself is about this preliminary work and does not contain any sensitive material, and will not for the final version.
I understand that acknowledgement may be inserted for final paper version as well, which will be requested later in June if we get accepted.
