  1. 6. Learning Policies for Path Selection in Attack Graphs

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Manuel Rickli; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : IT systems are indispensable nowadays. With thousands of hacking attempts happening daily, cyber defense mechanisms are crucial for maintaining a working state of those systems. Simulating an attacker is a means of preparing for future hacking attacks by determining the most likely vulnerabilities where an attack could be attempted. READ MORE

  3. 8. The Binding Mechanism of Carbapenems in the Class A beta-lactamase IMI-1 : A Molecular Dynamics Study of Ligand Stability

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Biokemi

    Author : Isabell Lindahl; [2022]
    Keywords : antibiotic resistance; IMI-1; betalactamase; Carbapenemase; free energy; LIE; linear interaction energy; β-lactamase; meropenem; biapenem; imipenem; active site;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is a global and accelerating matter. Over time, the bacteria have evolved several defense mechanisms against the antibiotics. One of the defense mechanisms is that the bacteria can produce enzymes with the ability to hydrolyze the characteristic b-lactam ring of the antibiotics. These enzymes are called b-lactamases.

  4. 9. A Game-theoretical Framework for Byzantine-Robust Federated Learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Wanyun Xie; [2022]
    Keywords : Game theory; distributed robust learning; training-time attacks; exploration-exploitation tradeoff; Spelteori; distribuerad robust inlärning; attacker på träningstiden; kompromiss mellan utforskning och exploatering;

    Abstract : The distributed nature of Federated Learning (FL) creates security-related vulnerabilities including training-time attacks. Recently, it has been shown that well-known Byzantine-resilient aggregation schemes are indeed vulnerable to an informed adversary who has access to the aggregation scheme and updates sent by clients.
