Progressive active inference method of protocol state machine by Yan PAN, Wei LIN, Yuefei ZHU

“…Protocol state machine active inference is a technique that relies on active automata learning.However, the abstraction of the alphabet and the construction of the mapper present critical challenges.Due to the diversity of messages of the same type, the response types of the same type are different, causing the method of regarding the message types as the alphabet will result in the loss of states or state transitions.To address the issue, message types were refined into subtypes according to the different responses and a progressive active inference method was proposed.The proposed method extracted the state fields from the existing protocol data to construct the initial alphabet and the mapper, and obtained the initial state machine based on active automata learning.It then mutated the existing messages to explore the response sequences, which were inconsistent with the current state machine.The mutated message was regarded as a protocol subtype and added to the alphabet, and a new state machine was inferred progressively based on the new alphabet.In order to reduce the interactions, a pre-response query algorithm was proposed based on prefix matching for the caching mechanism in the active automata learning.The ProLearner tool was utilized to evaluate the proposed method in the context of the SMTP and RSTP protocols.It is verified that the pre-response query method can effectively reduce the number of actual interactions, with an average reduction rate of about 10%.…”

Non-specific TVLA method based on two-sample KS test by Zhen ZHENG, Yingjian YAN, Juesong CAI, Yanjiang LIU

“…Test vector leakage assessment (TVLA) is prone to “false negative” when the power consumption sample size is small.To address this issue, it was found that for non-specific TVLA, when the power consumption sample size changes, the test statistic t-values obtained at the leakage sampling points in the power trace vary accordingly, while the t-values at the non-leakage sampling points do not significantly vary.Therefore, when there is leakage, the distributions of the t-values obtained under different sample sizes will be different.Based on this, it was proposed to implement non-specific TVLA under different sample sizes and perform two-sample KS test on the obtained t-value sequences to evaluate whether there was leakage.Verifications were carried out based on unprotected-aligned simulation power consumption, protected-aligned power consumption dataset DPA Contest v4_2 and protected-non-aligned self-collected power consumption respectively.The results showed that the sample size required by the proposed method on the aligned simulation power consumption and DPA Contest v4_2 was reduced by at most 46.1% and 39.0% respectively.And after the alignment, the required sample size of the proposed method on the self-collected power consumption is also smaller than that of other schemes, with a maximum reduction of 29.4%.Therefore, the proposed method can effectively reduce the probability of “false negative” when the power consumption sample size is small.…”
