Title: Data Mining for Privacy Protection, Authorship Analysis, and Malware Analysis
Abstract:
The objective of this presentation is to provide an overview of the research work conducted in the Data Mining and Security (DMaS) Lab at McGill University. We will discuss three research topics. (1) Privacy-preserving data mining: Since data mining often involves person-specific and sensitive information, the public has acquired the negative impression that data mining is a tool for intrusion on their privacy. Privacy-preserving data mining is a study of eliminating threats to privacy while preserving useful information in the released data. (2) Authorship analysis: Given an anonymous e-mail or some tweets, can we identify the author based on his/her writing styles? I will give a demonstration on an authorship analysis tool developed by DMaS. (3) Assembly code mining: Assembly code analysis is one of the critical processes for mitigating the exponentially increasing threats from malicious software. However, it is a manually intensive and time-consuming process even for experienced reverse engineers. An effective and efficient assembly code clone search engine can greatly reduce the effort of this process. We have implemented an award winning assembly clone search engine called Kam1n0. It is the first clone search engine that can efficiently identify a given query assembly function’s subgraph clones from a large assembly code repository. I will give a live demonstration of Kam1n0.
