This paper develops a feedback-based method to preserve the topology privacy of consensus protocols in network systems. The key idea is to intentionally violate topology identifiability conditions, thereby preventing unique or accurate…

Today's software systems are highly distributed and interconnected, and they increasingly rely on communication to achieve their goals; due to their societal importance, security and trustworthiness are crucial aspects for the correctness…

Crypto-assets and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are reshaping how value is exchanged in distributed computing environments. These systems combine cryptographic primitives, protocol design, and system architectures to provide…

Whenever an architect or a team of architects begins an architectural design, there are certain goals set to achieve. There are many factors involved in setting up goals for the architecture design such as type of the project, end user…

In this paper, we present an epistemic logic approach to the compositionality of several privacy-related informationhiding/ disclosure properties. The properties considered here are anonymity, privacy, onymity, and identity. Our initial…

Privacy protection in digital databases does not demand that data should not be collected, stored or used, but that there should be guarantees that the data can only be used for pre-approved and legitimate purposes. We argue that a data…

Through the increasing interconnection between various systems, the need for confidential systems is increasing. Confidential systems share data only with authorized entities. However, estimating the confidentiality of a system is complex,…

The metaverse promises unprecedented immersive digital experiences but also raises critical privacy concerns as vast amounts of personal and behavioral data are collected. As immersive technologies blur the boundaries between physical and…

We construct a new protocol for attribute-based encryption with the use of the modification of the standard secret sharing scheme. In the suggested modification of the secret sharing scheme, only one master key for each user is required…

Security is an important quality of software systems, but there is a huge lack of security experts. To overcome this gap, we aim to make security design knowledge reusable for architects by proposing the SecuRe recommendation approach to…

Blockchain offers an innovative approach to storing information, executing transactions, performing functions, and establishing trust in an open environment. Many consider blockchain as a technology breakthrough for cryptography and…

A software architecture is the result of multiple decisions made by a software architect. These decisions are called architectural decisions, as they bring solutions to architectural problems. Relations between decisions can be captured in…

Large-scale sensing and actuation infrastructures have allowed buildings to achieve significant energy savings; at the same time, these technologies introduce significant privacy risks that must be addressed. In this paper, we present a…

In this article, the file system development design approaches are discussed. The selection of the file system design approach is done according to the needs of the developers what are the needed requirements and specifications for the new…

Distributed ledger technology offers numerous desirable attributes to applications in the enterprise context. However, with distributed data and decentralized computation on a shared platform, privacy and confidentiality challenges arise.…

The paper discusses design techniques for a seamless architecture of information systems (IS). A seamless architecture is understood as such an architectural de-scription of an IS, that defines explicit connections between elements of…

Privacy policies often place requirements on the purposes for which a governed entity may use personal information. For example, regulations, such as HIPAA, require that hospital employees use medical information for only certain purposes,…

In programming, protocols are everywhere. Protocols describe the pattern of interaction (or communication) between software systems, for example, between a user-space program and the kernel or between a local application and an online…

Privacy Policies are the legal documents that describe the practices that an organization or company has adopted in the handling of the personal data of its users. But as policies are a legal document, they are often written in extensive…

Differential privacy is a robust privacy standard that has been successfully applied to a range of data analysis tasks. Despite much recent work, optimal strategies for answering a collection of correlated queries are not known. We study…
