Anonymization plays a key role in protecting sensible information of individuals in real world datasets. Self-driving cars for example need high resolution facial features to track people and their viewing direction to predict future…
Research involving privacy-sensitive data has always been constrained by data scarcity, standing in sharp contrast to other areas that have benefited from data scaling. This challenge is becoming increasingly urgent as modern AI…
Due to the broadcast nature of wireless communications, physical layer security has always been a fundamental but challenging problem. Recent advance of Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) introduces a new dimension for secure…
The current generation of large language models produces sophisticated social-engineering content that bypasses standard text screening systems in business communication platforms. Our proposed solution for mail gateway and endpoint…
This paper proposes a frictionless authentication system, provides a comprehensive security analysis of and proposes potential solutions for this system. It first presents a system that allows users to authenticate to services in a…
Recommender systems are an integral part of online platforms that recommend new content to users with similar interests. However, they demand a considerable amount of user activity data where, if the data is not adequately protected,…
Multi-recipient cryptographic schemes provide secure communication, between one sender and multiple recipients, in a multi-party group. Providing secure multi-party communication is very challenging, especially in dynamic networks. Existing…
In this paper we provide evidence of an emerging criminal infrastructure enabling impersonation attacks at scale. Impersonation-as-a-Service (ImpaaS) allows attackers to systematically collect and enforce user profiles (consisting of user…
Anonymous Identity Based Encryption (AIBET) scheme allows a tracer to use the tracing key to reveal the recipient's identity from the ciphertext while keeping other data anonymous. This special feature makes AIBET a promising solution to…
Constructive feedback is an effective method for improving critical thinking skills. Counter-arguments (CAs), one form of constructive feedback, have been proven to be useful for critical thinking skills. However, little work has been done…
Oblivious transfer is a powerful cryptographic primitive that is complete for secure multi-party computation. In oblivious transfer protocols a user sends one or more messages to a receiver, while the sender remains oblivious as to which…
Network measurement platforms are increasingly popular among researchers and operators alike due to their distributed nature, simplifying measuring the remote parts of the Internet. RIPE Atlas boasts over 12.9K vantage points in 178…
An exciting new development in differential privacy is the shuffled model, in which an anonymous channel enables non-interactive, differentially private protocols with error much smaller than what is possible in the local model, while…
We consider the problem of perfect (information-theoretically) secure message transmission (PSMT) from a sender $S$ to a receiver $R$ in asynchronous directed networks tolerating dual adversary. The adversary can control at most $t_p$ nodes…
STEALTH is a method for using some AI-generated model, without suffering from malicious attacks (i.e. lying) or associated unfairness issues. After recursively bi-clustering the data, STEALTH system asks the AI model a limited number of…
We provide enhanced security against insider attacks in services that manage extremely sensitive data. One example is a #MeToo use case where sexual harassment complaints are reported but only revealed when another complaint is filed…
Widely used payment splitting apps allow members of a group to keep track of debts between members by sending charges for expenses paid by one member on behalf of others. While offering a great deal of convenience, these apps gain access to…
Speaker anonymization aims to conceal cues to speaker identity while preserving linguistic content. Current machine learning based approaches require substantial computational resources, hindering real-time streaming applications. To…
Communicating systems comprise diverse software components across networks. To ensure their robustness, modern programming languages such as Rust provide both strongly typed channels, whose usage is guaranteed to be affine (at most once),…
This paper proposes MP3, the second privacy-preserving presence protocol that leaks no information about the graph structure of the social network. Several cryptographic techniques are applied to improve the existing DP5 protocol---the…
