arXiv:2508.15850v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing availability of publicly shared electrocardiogram (ECG) data raises critical privacy concerns, as its biometric properties make individuals vulnerable to linkage attacks. Unlike prior studies that assume idealized adversarial capabilities, we evaluate ECG privacy risks under realistic conditions where attackers operate with partial knowledge. Using data from 109 participants across diverse real-world datasets, our approach achieves...

Using Falcon EDR, is it possible to configure a prevention policy that would prevent SAM and LSA Secrets dump attacks, or would the identity module be required? We're using a phase 3 prevention policy set to the current recommended settings and during a recent test, local hashes and LSA secrets were successfully extracted from a Windows host. I'd like to get some guidance and preventing that. submitted by /u/RobotCarWash [link] [comments]

Hello. I would like to include in query history of Local IPv4 addresses for each AID, and match them with cidr ranges from a lookup where the range and name of subnet is stored. Is this even possible? How about appending extensive AD information details matched with UserName? submitted by /u/kiteriders [link] [comments]
arXiv:2508.12304v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Special tags such as AprilTags that facilitate image processing and pattern recognition are useful in practical applications. In close and private environments, identity security is unlikely to be an issue because all involved AprilTags can be completely regulated. However, in open and public environments, identity security is no longer an issue that can be neglected. To handle potential harm caused by adversarial attacks, this note advocates...
arXiv:2508.11812v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The advancement of computing equipment and the advances in services over the Internet has allowed corporations, higher education, and many other organizations to pursue the shared computing network environment. A requirement for shared computing environments is a centralized identity system to authenticate and authorize user access. An organization's digital identity plane is a prime target for cyber threat actors. When compromised, identities can...
arXiv:2508.11716v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Remote user verification in Internet-based applications is becoming increasingly important nowadays. A popular scenario for it consists of submitting a picture of the user's Identity Document (ID) to a service platform, authenticating its veracity, and then granting access to the requested digital service. An ID is well-suited to verify the identity of an individual, since it is government issued, unique, and nontransferable. However, with recent...
