Guaranteeing the validity of concurrent operations on distributed objects is a key property for ensuring reliability and consistency in distributed systems. Usually, the methods for validating these operations, if present, are wired in the…
Cloud computing is a general term that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. With the accelerated growth of the volume of data used by applications, many organizations have moved their data into cloud servers to provide…
We describe a pricing structure for the provision of IT services that ensures trust without requiring repeated interactions between service providers and users. It does so by offering a pricing structure that elicits truthful reporting of…
The Denial-of-service (DoS) attack is considered one of the largest threats to the availability of cloud-computing services. Due to the unique architecture of cloud-computing systems, the methods for detecting and preventing DoS attacks are…
This work presents ContractChecker, a Blockchain-based security protocol for verifying the storage consistency between the mutually distrusting cloud provider and clients. Unlike existing protocols, the ContractChecker uniquely delegates…
Cloud computing providers' and customers' services are not only exposed to existing security risks, but, due to multi-tenancy, outsourcing the application and data, and virtualization, they are exposed to the emergent, as well. Therefore,…
Confidential computing in the public cloud intends to safeguard workload privacy while outsourcing infrastructure management to a cloud provider. This is achieved by executing customer workloads within so called Trusted Execution…
As human-machine interaction continues to evolve, the capacity for environmental perception is becoming increasingly crucial. Integrating the two most common types of sensory data, images, and point clouds, can enhance detection accuracy.…
By virtue of technology and benefit advantages, cloud computing has increasingly attracted a large number of potential cloud consumers (PCC) plan to migrate the traditional business to the cloud service. However, trust has become one of the…
The abilities of traditional perimeter-based security architectures are rapidly decreasing as more enterprise assets are moved toward the cloud environment. From a security viewpoint, the Zero Trust framework can better track and block…
Enterprises want their in-cloud services to leverage the performance and security benefits that middleboxes offer in traditional deployments. Such virtualized deployments create new opportunities (e.g., flexible scaling) as well as new…
Cloud computing has become an irreversible trend. Together comes the pressing need for verifiability, to assure the client the correctness of computation outsourced to the cloud. Existing verifiable computation techniques all have a high…
An edge computing marketplace could enable IoT devices (Outsourcers) to outsource computation to any participating node (Contractors) in their proximity. In return, these nodes receive a reward for providing computation resources. In this…
There is an increasing trend that enterprises outsource their network functions to the cloud for lower cost and ease of management. However, network function outsourcing brings threats to the privacy of enterprises since the cloud is able…
Existing processes and methods for incident handling are geared towards infrastructures and operational models that will be increasingly outdated by cloud computing. Research has shown that to adapt incident handling to cloud computing…
Cloud services today are increasingly built using functionality from other running services. In this paper, we question whether legacy Quality of Services (QoS) metrics and enforcement techniques are sufficient as they are producer centric.…
High-assurance security systems require strong isolation from the untrusted world to protect the security-sensitive or privacy-sensitive data they process. Existing regulations impose that such systems must execute in a trustworthy…
In Decentralized Applications, off-chain storage solutions such as the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) are crucial in overcoming Blockchain storage limitations. However, the assurance of data permanency in IPFS relies on the pinning of…
Zero Trust is a novel cybersecurity model that focuses on continually evaluating trust to prevent the initiation and horizontal spreading of attacks. A cloud-native Service Mesh is an example of Zero Trust Architecture that can filter out…
Cloud computing has recently emerged as a key technology to provide individuals and companies with access to remote computing and storage infrastructures. In order to achieve highly-available yet high-performing services, cloud data stores…
