This paper investigates the security of digital wallet transactions, highlighting vulnerabilities in authentication, authorization, and access control. It exposes weaknesses in decentralized authority delegation, allowing attackers to add stolen bank cards, bypass payment authorization, and violate access control policies. The findings underscore the severity of these vulnerabilities, prompting proposed remedies to enhance security measures in digital wallet systems.

Driver distraction is one of the leading causes of accidents in semi-autonomous vehicles. We identify the relationship between the traffic event, the type of automotive sensing technologies, and its processing resources to capture that event to design the driver’s attention gauge.

Data-intensive systems are vulnerable to side-channel attacks in which hackers can extract sensitive information from a digital device without actively manipulating the target system. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of IS research on how businesses can effectively detect and safeguard against side-channel attacks.

We propose MalRNN, a novel deep learning-based approach to automatically generate evasive malware variants without any of these restrictions. Our approach features an adversarial example generation process, which learns a language model via a generative sequence-to-sequence recurrent neural network to augment malware binaries. MalRNN effectively evades three recent deep learning-based malware detectors and outperforms current benchmark methods.
