We constructed the largest NAS package dataset to date, consisting of 1,489 NAS packages from major third-party sources, which can offer representative data for further research. Given that Synology and QNAP have the largest user bases, these platforms experience the highest frequency of attacks. Furthermore, the NAS package ecosystems provided by other vendors are considerably smaller. So our security measurements focus solely on the NAS packages of Synology and QNAP.

Cloud computing has become a relatively new paradigm for the delivery of compute re-
sources, with key management services (KMS) playing a crucial role in securely handling cryptographic
operations in the cloud. This paper presents the microbenchmark of cloud cryptographic workloads, in-
cluding SHA HMAC generation, AES encryption/decryption, ECC signature/verification, and RSA encryp-
tion/decryption, across Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) in conjunction

This paper presents an enhanced methodology for network anomaly detection in Industrial IoT (IIoT) systems using advanced data aggregation and Mutual Information (MI)-based feature selection. The focus is on transforming raw network traffic into meaningful, aggregated forms that capture crucial temporal and statistical patterns. A refined set of 150 features including unique IP counts, TCP acknowledgment patterns, and ICMP sequence ratios was identified using MI to enhance detection accuracy.

Modern power systems face growing risks from cyber-physical attacks, necessitating enhanced resilience due to their societal function as critical infrastructures. The challenge is that defense of large-scale systems-of-systems requires scalability in their threat and risk assessment environment for cyber-physical analysis including cyber-informed transmission planning, decision-making, and intrusion response. Hence, we present a scalable discrete event simulation tool for analysis of energy systems, called DESTinE.
