IMSc Conference on IT Security

We organize a conference for collecting IMSc points in the context of the IT Security BSc course in the spring semester of the 2023/24 academic year at BME. Beyond IMSc point collection, the goal of the conference is to encourage students to deep-dive into some hot topics of IT security, to get familiar with the challenges and recent research results, and to share knowledge with other students in the form of short presentations. We do hope that the conference will shed light on the beauty of the field of IT security and some of its exciting research areas, and it will stimulate both the active participants of the conference and all other students enrolled in the IT security course to engage in further studies in the domain of IT security.

The Call for Papers (CfP) for the conference is available here.

Malware for embedded devices

Embedded computers (e.g., IoT devices, controllers in vehicles and in industrial facilities) can also be infected by malware, just like other computers. The landscape of malware for such embedded devices is already rich, including infamous families like Mirai, and many others...

Malware detection on resource constrained embedded devices

Embedded computers (e.g., IoT devices, controllers in vehicles and in industrial facilities) can also be infected by malware, just like other computers. However, these devices are typically resource constrained and cannot run anti-virus solutions developed for desktop PCs. So researchers started to design new malware detection mechanisms tailored for them.
