  • KAIST Develops Next Generation Binary Analysis Pla..

    Over the past three years, Cha Sang-gil, a professor of School of Computing of KAIST, and his students have developed B2-R2, a technique for analyzing vulnerabilities in binary code using artificial intelligence technology with Cybersecurity Research Center(Director Professor Kim Yong-dae of Electrical and Electronic Engineering). B2-R2 is a performance system of 'Automatic Reverse Engineering and Vulnerability Detection-Based Technology Development' that is a research project by the Ministry of Science and ICT that can be used in various computer security areas such as ▲software security vulnerability analysis ▲Analysis of malicious code ▲Releasing obfuscation ▲Security Patch ▲Automatic Creation of Exposure plot. Compared to the binary analysis systems developed overseas, B2-R2 system is highly utilized (available on all operating systems such as Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iOS) and has at least 2 to 100 times the analysis speed and maximizes the ease of analysis using the latest functional language, F#, and has a variety of interfaces with 32 programming languages. Not only is it the first binary code analysis system in Korea, but it also surpasses the BAP of Carnegie Mellon University and Angr of UCSB, which lead the field. The importance of binary analysis technology, known through ‘Next Generation binary analysis platform B2-R2 Technology Explanation Conference’ on Dec. 4, has become widely known through the Cyber Grand Challenge (CGC), the world's first computer-to-computer hacking attack and defense competition hosted by the Defense Department of Defense (DARPA) in 2016. With various security threats such as malicious code, APT attack, and DDoS attack being carried out by human hackers, the competition has become a signal for the emergence of AI-based machine hackers and can be understood as a core technology to prepare for a paradigm shift for information protection of the fourth industrial revolution. Professor Cha Sang-gil is known to be the main author who designed the core engine of the CGC championship, Mayhem, which was held in the U.S. and won the title by overwhelming margin at 2018 Information Security R&D Data Challenge Auto Detect based on AI, a Korean version of the CGC, on November 30. It is known that at the center of the system used for the contest by Cha Sang-gil B2-R2 technology which he developed with KAIST students for three years. According to information protection experts, KAIST's Cha Sang-gil team has secured key technologies in the field of 'automatic detection and response of AI-based vulnerabilities' that surpasses the world's highest level through this technical briefing and domestic competitions.

    "DropMax," "Adaptive Variable Softmax," "Uncertified-Aware Attachment," a joint study by Professor Yang Eun-Ho and Professor Hwang Seong-ju of the KAIST School of Computing, were published by Neural Information Processing System (NIPS) 2018 (acceptance rate:20.8 %), the world's best academic institution. The paper was published as follows: [DropMax: Adaptive Variational Softmax] In this paper, we propose techniques to improve the performance of the systeresis by applying Dropout techniques to softmax functions that are originally applied to multi-class identification. At each learning quarter, the whole class' subset is randomly sampled according to the learned Dropout probability and the discrimination is performed. There is meaning that is is a ensemble of different discriminations', and it also has the effect of making more comparisons between classes that are likely to be confused with each other. Deep Bayesian techniques enable the learning and reasoning of this probabilistic neural network. Specifically, it has been experimentally verified in this paper that inducing a Dropout mask, the probability of being a target label for each class, differently for each input instance and correctly deduplicating the values is important for improving performance, thereby enabling more reliable learning and reasoning. [Uncertainty-Aware Attention for Reliable Interpretation and Prediction] Existing in-depth neural networks cannot take into account uncertainty in the in-depth learning process of predictive models, so the learning model has the potential to predict the wrong situation, and the uncertainty present in the data and the model itself has led to false predictions. The "Uncertified-Aware Attachment for Reliable Interprevention and Prescription" paper is a way to overcome existing uncertainty problems. The "Uncertified-Aware Attachment for Reliable Interprevention and Prescription" paper is a way to overcome existing Uncertainty problems. Uncertainty-Aware Attachment Mechanism, which allows input-adaptive organic learning by identifying data and model conditions regarding uncertainty, was presented. This paper has experimentally demonstrated that, with respect to the performance of modern machine learning algorithms, the ability to interpret accurate models with corrected model predictive performance and uncertainty is outstanding through UA framework. [Joint Active Feature Acquisition and Classification with Variable-size Set Encoding] This paper addresses the question of learning policies to obtain effective information at a lower cost in situations where the cost of obtaining the necessary information in the classification (e.g., examination costs) is incurred, such as diagnosing diseases. When diagnosing patients, it is reasonable to perform the necessary tests according to the individual's condition rather than carrying out and diagnosing all the same types of tests. In this paper, it jointly learns about dynamic feature acquisition policies and classification models that determine the required information sequentially based on the information currently in place. To this end, we defined a function for the purpose of considering both the classification performance and the costs necessary to obtain information, and presented a joint learning framework for the feature acquisition policy and classification model using in-depth hardening learning. In addition, experiments using synthetic and medical data have shown that the performance is cost-effective compared to static feature acquisition methods or previous studies.

  • Intelligent Service Integration (ISI) Laboratory o..

    Intelligent Service Integration (ISI) Laboratory of KAIST School of Computing(Prof. Han Dongsoo) has decided to carry out the international academic project for the development of Global Indoor Positioning System with Global H Company. Global H will support KAIST $ 400,000 for the project, which will be accompanied by technology transfer. The ISI Lab, which developed the KAIST Indoor Positioning System (KAILOS) in 2014 and released to the public, has recently developed a crowd sourcing AI technique that automatically labels the location of wireless signals acquired from unspecified number of smartphone users. In this joint international project, KAIST will upgrade location labeling AI technique using crowdsourcing to commercialization level. If the project is successfully performed, H Company is expected to install the system developed by KAIST its products and commercialize it. Professor Han Dongsoo, who will lead the international industry project with H company to be conducted over the next year, said, "It is a pity that the technology developed by KAIST will be commercialized through overseas companies before the domestic companies. The result is that domestic regulations on location services are too strict. " Professor Han Dongsoo said, "It is significant that a global company recognized the technology developed by KAIST and commissioned an industrial project for commercialization. Technology continues to decline and disappear if not developed. We will continue to expand international industry-academia cooperation in the field of indoor location recognition in the future. "
