Privacy preservation is a crucial component of any real-world application. But, in applications relying on machine learning backends, privacy is challenging because models often capture more than what the model was initially trained for,…

The increase in network connectivity has also resulted in several high-profile attacks on cyber-physical systems. An attacker that manages to access a local network could remotely affect control performance by tampering with sensor…

A game is introduced to study the effect of privacy in strategic communication between well-informed senders and a receiver. The receiver wants to accurately estimate a random variable. The sender, however, wants to communicate a message…

Consider a data publishing setting for a dataset composed by both private and non-private features. The publisher uses an empirical distribution, estimated from $n$ i.i.d. samples, to design a privacy mechanism which is applied to new fresh…

Privacy concerns have led to a surge in the creation of synthetic datasets, with diffusion models emerging as a promising avenue. Although prior studies have performed empirical evaluations on these models, there has been a gap in providing…

Privacy policies are intended to inform users about how software systems collect and handle data, yet they often remain vague or incomplete. This paper presents an empirical study of patterns in log-related statements within privacy…

The rise of online social networks, user-gene-rated content, and third-party apps made data sharing an inevitable trend, driven by both user behavior and the commercial value of personal information. As service providers amass vast amounts…

Over the past few decades, Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) have been targeted by cyberattacks and are becoming increasingly vulnerable as more ICSs are connected to the internet. Using Machine Learning (ML) for Intrusion Detection Systems…

Theoretical studies on physical layer security often adopt the secrecy outage probability as the performance metric for wireless communications over quasi-static fading channels. The secrecy outage probability has two limitations from a…

Machine learning models are increasingly made available to the masses through public query interfaces. Recent academic work has demonstrated that malicious users who can query such models are able to infer sensitive information about…

Data stewards and analysts can promote transparent and trustworthy science and policy-making by facilitating assessments of the sensitivity of published results to alternate analysis choices. For example, researchers may want to assess…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely used in sensitive domains, including healthcare, finance, and legal services, raising concerns about potential private information leaks during inference. Privacy extraction attacks, such as…

This paper proposes an operational measure of non-stochastic information leakage to formalize privacy against a brute-force guessing adversary. The information is measured by non-probabilistic uncertainty of uncertain variables, the…

DNS tunneling techniques are often used for malicious purposes but network security mechanisms have struggled to detect these. Network forensic analysis has thus been used but has proved slow and effort intensive as Network Forensics…

Sequential multi-agent large language model (LLM) systems are increasingly deployed in sensitive domains such as healthcare, finance, and enterprise decision-making, where multiple specialized agents collaboratively process a single user…

Data Security has become a very serious part of any organizational information system. Internet threats have become more intelligent so it can deceive the basic security solutions such as firewalls and antivirus scanners. To enhance the…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the main research fields in the Cybersecurity domain. This is due to (a) the increased dependency on automated device, and (b) the inadequacy of general purpose Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to be…

The Deep Leakage from Gradient (DLG) attack has emerged as a prevalent and highly effective method for extracting sensitive training data by inspecting exchanged gradients. This approach poses a substantial threat to the privacy of…

With the growing amount of personal information exchanged over the Internet, privacy is becoming more and more a concern for users. One of the key principles in protecting privacy is data minimisation. This principle requires that only the…

This paper considers the development of information flow analyses to support resilient design and active detection of adversaries in cyber physical systems (CPS). The area of CPS security, though well studied, suffers from fragmentation. In…
