  • “Anti-virus hardware: Applications in Embedded, Automotive and Power Systems Security”

    Speaker: Kanad Basu Date and Time: Tuesday, June 7, 2:00 pm Location: Zoom https://uci.zoom.us/j/97807443602 Abstract: Anti-virus software (AVS) tools are used to detect Malware in a system. However, software-based AVS are vulnerable to attacks. A malicious entity can exploit these vulnerabilities to subvert the AVS. Recently, hardware components such as Hardware Performance Counters (HPC) have been used for Malware detection, in the form […]
