With the development of smart devices and mobile communication technologies, e-commerce has spread over all aspects of life. Abnormal transaction detection is important in e-commerce since abnormal transactions can result in large losses. Additionally, integrating data flow and control flow is important in the research of process modeling and data analysis since it plays an important role in the correctness and security of business processes. This paper proposes a novel method of detecting abnormal transactions via an integration model of data and control flows. Our model, called Extended Data Petri net (DPNE), integrates the data interaction and behavior of the whole process from the user logging into the e-commerce platform to the end of the payment, which also covers the mobile transaction process. We analyse the structure of the model, design the anomaly detection algorithm of relevant data, and illustrate the rationality and effectiveness of the whole system model. Through a case study, it is proved that each part of the system can respond well, and the system can judge each activity of every mobile transaction. Finally, the anomaly detection results are obtained by some comprehensive analysis.

Feature Representations

Exploitable vulnerabilities in software systems are major security concerns. To date, machine learning (ML) based solutions have been proposed to automate and accelerate the detection of vulnerabilities. Most ML techniques aim to isolate a unit of source code, be it a line or a function, as being vulnerable. We argue that a code segment is vulnerable if it exists in certain semantic contexts, such as the control flow and data flow; therefore, it is important for the detection to be context aware. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of mainstream word embedding techniques in the scenario of software vulnerability detection. Based on the evaluation, we propose a supervised framework leveraging pre-trained context-aware embeddings from language models (ELMo) to capture deep contextual representations, further summarized by a bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) layer for learning long-range code dependency. The framework takes directly a source code function as an input and produces corresponding function embeddings, which can be treated as feature sets for conventional ML classifiers. Experimental results showed that the proposed framework yielded the best performance in its downstream detection tasks. Using the feature representations generated by our framework, random forest and support vector machine outperformed four baseline systems on our data sets, demonstrating that the framework incorporated with ELMo can effectively capture the vulnerable data flow patterns and facilitate the vulnerability detection task.
