While performing traffic analysis on the current development version of Orbot, the official Android for Tor app, Manuel Leithner (Junior Researcher, SBA Research gGmbH) discovered that certain types of traffic (including VPN, GPS and videos) were not tunnelled through Tor. He subsequently developed a patch that enables full and… Read More
Sensitivity Based Generalization Error for Single and Multiple Classifier Systems with Applications Abstract Generalization error model provides a theoretical support for a classifier’s performance in terms of prediction accuracy. However, existing models give very loose error bounds. This explains why classification systems generally rely on experimental validation for their claims… Read More
Our paper Dark Clouds on the Horizon: Using Cloud Storage as Attack Vector and Online Slack Space was accepted. Unfortunately we cannot provide a preprint because the affected vendor(s) still need the time to fix some things…… Read More
