We introduce a deep learning framework able to deal with strong privacy constraints. Based on collaborative learning, differential privacy and homomorphic encryption, the proposed approach advances state-of-the-art of private deep learning…
The domain name resolution into IP addresses can significantly delay connection establishments on the web. Moreover, the common use of recursive DNS resolvers presents a privacy risk as they can closely monitor the user's browsing…
Computer network is unpredictable due to information warfare and is prone to various attacks. Such attacks on network compromise the most important attribute, the privacy. Most of such attacks are devised using special communication channel…
In contrast to its predecessors, 5G supports a wide range of commercial, industrial, and critical infrastructure scenarios. One key feature of 5G, ultra-reliable low latency communication, is particularly appealing to such scenarios for its…
The Domain Name System (DNS), which converts domain names to their respective IP addresses, has advanced enhancements aimed at safeguarding DNS data and users' identity from attackers. The recent privacy-focused advancements have enabled…
In today's rapidly expanding digital landscape, where access to timely online content is paramount to users, the underlying network infrastructure and latency performance significantly influence the user experience. We present an empirical…
Privacy preserving RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) authentication has been an active research area in recent years. Both forward security and backward security are required to maintain the privacy of a tag, i.e., exposure of a tag's…
With the growing adoption of privacy-preserving machine learning algorithms, such as Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP-SGD), training or fine-tuning models on private datasets has become increasingly prevalent. This…
Over the years, the Internet has been enriched with new available communication technologies, for both fixed and mobile networks and devices, exhibiting an impressive growth in terms of performance, with steadily increasing available data…
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have emerged as a key technology for next generation wireless broadband networks showing rapid progress and inspiring numerous compelling applications. A WMN comprises of a set of mesh routers (MRs) and mesh…
Primary user activity is a major bottleneck for existing routing protocols in cognitive radio networks. Typical routing protocols avoid areas that are highly congested with primary users, leaving only a small fragment of available links for…
The number and variety of Internet-connected devices have grown enormously in the past few years, presenting new challenges to security and privacy. Research has shown that network adversaries can use traffic rate metadata from consumer IoT…
Differential privacy is the state-of-the-art definition for privacy, guaranteeing that any analysis performed on a sensitive dataset leaks no information about the individuals whose data are contained therein. In this thesis, we develop…
Organizations started to adopt differential privacy (DP) techniques hoping to persuade more users to share personal data with them. However, many users do not understand DP techniques, thus may not be willing to share. Previous research…
An infrastructure network is a self-organizing network with help of Access Point (AP) of wireless links connecting nodes to another. The nodes can communicate without an ad hoc. They form an uninformed topology (BSS/ESS), where the nodes…
Face anonymization aims to conceal the visual identity of a face to safeguard the individual's privacy. Traditional methods like blurring and pixelation can largely remove identifying features, but these techniques significantly degrade…
This work investigates the covertness and security performance of Internet-of-Things (IoTs) networks under Rayleigh fading environments. Specifically, a cellular source transmits covert information to cell-edge users with the assistance of…
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…
Distributed Hash Table (DHT) lookup is a core technique in structured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. Its decentralized nature introduces security and privacy vulnerabilities for applications built on top of them; we thus set out to design a…
The identification of the exact path that packets are routed in the network is quite a challenge. This paper presents a novel, efficient traceback strategy in combination with a defence system against distributed denial of service (DDoS)…
