Security concerns in large-scale networked environments are becoming increasingly critical. To further improve the algorithm security from the design perspective of decentralized optimization algorithms, we introduce a new measure: Privacy…
When collecting information, local differential privacy (LDP) alleviates privacy concerns of users because their private information is randomized before being sent it to the central aggregator. LDP imposes large amount of noise as each…
We consider the problem of secure unicast transmission between two nodes in a directed graph, where an adversary eavesdrops/jams a subset of nodes. This adversarial setting is in contrast to traditional ones where the adversary controls a…
Anonymous routing protocols are used in MANET's to hide the nodes from outsiders in order to protect from various attacks. HPAR partitions the network area dynamically into zones and chooses nodes in zones randomly as intermediate relay…
We present HORNET, a system that enables high-speed end-to-end anonymous channels by leveraging next generation network architectures. HORNET is designed as a low-latency onion routing system that operates at the network layer thus enabling…
Automatic service discovery is essential to realizing the full potential of the Internet of Things (IoT). While discovery protocols like Multicast DNS, Apple AirDrop, and Bluetooth Low Energy have gained widespread adoption across both IoT…
Physical layer security offers an efficient means to decrease the risk of confidential information leakage through wiretap links. In this paper, we address the physical-layer security in a cooperative wireless subnetwork that includes a…
In this paper, we introduce a duo of improvements for the Internet that would lead to better security. The authentication model on the Internet is broken and TLS connections have a considerable overhead. We try to address those issues with…
Privacy in form of anonymous communication could be comparably both faster and harder to break in optical routers than in today's anonymous IP networks based on The Onion Routing (Tor). Implementing the practical privacy…
In order to protect vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as pedestrians or cyclists, it is essential that intelligent transportation systems (ITS) accurately identify them. Therefore, datasets used to train perception models of ITS must…
With the emergence of smart cities, Internet of Things (IoT) devices as well as deep learning technologies have witnessed an increasing adoption. To support the requirements of such paradigm in terms of memory and computation, joint and…
Decentralized learning (DL) is an emerging paradigm of collaborative machine learning that enables nodes in a network to train models collectively without sharing their raw data or relying on a central server. This paper introduces Zip-DL,…
The vast storage capacity and computational power of cloud servers have led to the widespread outsourcing of machine learning inference services. While offering significant operational benefits, this practice also introduces privacy risks,…
We analyzed the generation of protocol header fields in the implementations of multiple TCP/IP network stacks and found new ways to leak information about global protocol states. We then demonstrated new covert channels by remotely…
DNS over TLS (DoT) and DNS over HTTPS (DoH) encrypt DNS to guard user privacy by hiding DNS resolutions from passive adversaries. Yet, past attacks have shown that encrypted DNS is still sensitive to traffic analysis. As a consequence, RFC…
Dual-Path is an anonymous peer-to-peer approach which provides requester anonymity. This approach provides anonymity between a requester and a provider in peer-to-peer networks with trusted servers called suppernode so the provider will not…
Virtually every Internet communication typically involves a Domain Name System (DNS) lookup for the destination server that the client wants to communicate with. Operators of DNS recursive resolvers---the machines that receive a client's…
Tomography inference attacks aim to reconstruct network topology by analyzing end-to-end probe delays. Existing defenses mitigate these attacks by manipulating probe delays to mislead inference, but rely on two strong assumptions: (i) probe…
The capability of mobile devices to use multiple interfaces to support a single session is becoming more prevalent. Prime examples include the desire to implement WiFi offloading and the introduction of 5G. Furthermore, an increasing…
Tor, a widely utilized privacy network, enables anonymous communication but is vulnerable to flow correlation attacks that deanonymize users by correlating traffic patterns from Tor's ingress and egress segments. Various defenses have been…
