Current approaches let an agent pay by relying on a credential provider that, in the approaches deployed today, typically sits outside the cardholder's bank. The spending rules are then enforced by the card network or that provider, and not by the bank itself. This leaves the issuing bank, which carries the financial risk, with little direct control at the moment a payment happens. This paper...

    Multi-View Fusion for Encrypted C2 Detection: A Leakage-Controlled Measurement Study of Evaluation Pitfalls

    Hoang-Huy Nguyen-Huu, Van-Tri Phan, Khuong Nguyen-An

    cs.CR · cs.AI

    Command-and-control (C2) traffic increasingly hides within TLS, so defenders now apply machine learning to traffic metadata. Many studies assume that combining two metadata views, namely flow statistics and TLS handshake fingerprints, improves both accuracy and robustness. We tested this assumption on 17,577 TLS flows from 62 real Cobalt Strike captures. Our evaluation removes the data leakage that leads to overly optimistic reported scores....
