I had a great opportunity to present our paper, “A Cheating Attack on a Whitelist-based Anti-Ransomware Solution and its Countermeasure,” at the IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE) held in Las Vegas.

It was my first time visiting the United States and also my first time giving a presentation in English, so I was quite nervous. Although I was not able to answer the questions during the Q&A session as well as I had hoped, it was still a valuable and memorable experience.

The main contribution of this paper is to propose a more robust whitelist-based ransomware detection and defense solution by detecting and preventing DLL injection attacks, which had been a persistent weakness of our previously developed approach.
