Peraton Labs is a proud sponsor and contributor to the 40th anniversary of the MILCOM conference, focused on “Transforming Decision Making through Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2).” Taking place November 28 through December 2, 2022, in Rockville, MD, MILCOM 2022 provides a forum for innovative research and technology development in secure communications, resilient networks, multi-domain operations, cyber security, and machine learning.

Qinqing Zhang, chief research scientist at Peraton Labs is the general co-chair of the conference and several Peraton Labs’ staff are members of the Technical Program Committee. MILCOM 2022 features five technical tracks and a variety of workshops, tutorials, and technical panels in both an unclassified technical program and a restricted access technical program.

Peraton Labs is contributing to the following events in the unclassified program. We look forward to seeing you at MILCOM 2022! 

• Josh Morman of Peraton Labs is speaking on “The Future of GNU Radio: Heterogeneous Computing, Distributed Processing, and Scheduler-As-a-Plugin” in a session on Cognitive Radio, November 29, 11:50-13:10. The talk discusses the technical vision and architecture for GNU Radio 4.0 and advances for scheduling, heterogeneous architectures, distributed computing, and ease of development.
• A presentation co-authored by Peraton Labs on “Multi-Band Control Channel Architecture (MICCA): Mass Reconfiguration Protocol for Spectrum Dependent Systems” will be given by researchers from Shared Spectrum Company on November 29, 11:50-13:10. The talk discusses the MICCA architecture, which provides command, control, and communications links to enable robust spectrum management and spectrum sharing among heterogeneous systems. 
• A presentation co-authored by Peraton Labs on “C Program Partitioning with Fine-Grained Security Constraints and Post-Partition Verification” will be given by researchers from Columbia University on November 29, 14:45-16:05. The talk discusses a C program partitioner that supports fine-grained security constraints, provides post-partition verification, and is practical for use on large applications with non-trivial security constraints.
• Peraton Labs’ researchers are presenting a talk on “Data Sanitization Approach to Mitigate Clean-Label Attacks Against Malware Detection Systems” in a session on Attacks on Machine Learning on Thursday, December 1, 14:10-15:30. The talk discusses a new cyber defense which substantially mitigates the impact of clean-label poisoning attacks on machine learning-based malware detection systems, improving malware detection accuracy to over 93%.
• Rauf Izmailov of Peraton Labs is speaking on “Adversarial Attacks on Machine Learning Models for Cyber Applications: Some Recent Challenges” in a panel on Adversarial Machine Learning. The remarks discuss threats posed in the cyber domain by clean-label attacks that can operate not only as poisoning attacks in the training phase, but also as evasion attacks to deceive a machine learning-based cyber system without being injected into training data.
