Previous attacks that link the sender and receiver of traffic in the Tor network ("correlation attacks") have generally relied on analyzing traffic from TCP connections. The TCP connections of a typical client application, however, are…
In this article, we present Ariadne, a privacy-preserving communication network layer protocol that uses a source routing approach to avoid relying on trusted third parties. In Ariadne, a source node willing to send anonymized network…
The security trade confidentiality, integrity and availability are the main pillar of the information systems as every organization emphasize of the security. From last few decades, digital data is the main asset for every digital or…
Website Fingerprinting (WF) is an effective tool for regulating and governing the dark web. However, its performance can be significantly degraded by backdoor poisoning attacks in practical deployments. This paper aims to address the…
Anonymous communication networks are important building blocks for online privacy protection. One approach to achieve anonymity is to relay messages through multiple routers, where each router shuffles messages independently. To achieve…
Data sharing between different organizations is an essential process in today's connected world. However, recently there were many concerns about data sharing as sharing sensitive information can jeopardize users' privacy. To preserve the…
The DC-nets approach to anonymity has long held attraction for its strength against traffic analysis, but practical implementations remain vulnerable to internal disruption or "jamming" attacks requiring time-consuming tracing procedures to…
The Tor anonymity network allows users such as political activists and those under repressive governments to protect their privacy when communicating over the internet. At the same time, Tor has been demonstrated to be vulnerable to several…
This work investigates the potential of torrent metadata as a source for open-source intelligence (OSINT), with a focus on user profiling and behavioral analysis. While peer-to-peer (P2P) networks such as BitTorrent are well studied with…
Security and Privacy are two important parameters that need to be considered when dealing with wireless sensor networks as WSN operate in an unattended environment and carry sensitive information critical to the application. However,…
One of the main challenges faced by a user today is protecting their privacy, especially during widespread surveil- lance. This led to the development of privacy infrastructures whose main purpose is to guarantee users privacy. However,…
Anonymity has become a significant issue in security field by recent advances in information technology and internet. The main objective of anonymity is hiding and concealing entities privacy inside a system. Many methods and protocols have…
Online Social Networks (OSN) are a permanent presence in today's personal and professional lives of a huge segment of the population, with direct consequences to offline activities. Built on a foundation of trust-users connect to other…
Everyone is concerned about the Internet security, yet most traffic is not cryptographically protected. The usual justification is that most attackers are only off-path and cannot intercept traffic; hence, challenge-response mechanisms…
The Domain Name System (DNS) does not provide query privacy. Query obfuscation schemes have been proposed to overcome this limitation, but, so far, they have not been evaluated in a realistic setting. In this paper we evaluate the security…
The growth in the number of devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) poses major challenges in security. The integrity and trustworthiness of data and data analytics are increasingly important concerns in IoT applications. These…
Privacy is a well-understood concept in the physical world, with us all desiring some escape from the public gaze. However, while individuals might recognise locking doors as protecting privacy, they have difficulty practising equivalent…
A plethora of contact tracing apps have been developed and deployed in several countries around the world in the battle against Covid-19. However, people are rightfully concerned about the security and privacy risks of such applications. To…
Privacy technologies have become extremely prevalent in recent years from secure communication channels to the Tor network. These technologies were designed to provide privacy and security for users, but these ideals have also led to…
Passive monitoring is a network measurement technique which analyzes the traffic carried by an operational network. It has several applications for traffic engineering, Quality of Experience monitoring and cyber security. However, it…
