Sharing location traces with context-aware service providers has privacy implications. Location-privacy preserving mechanisms, such as obfuscation, anonymization and cryptographic primitives, have been shown to have impractical…
Credit card fraud is a problem continuously faced by financial institutions and their customers, which is mitigated by fraud detection systems. However, these systems require the use of sensitive customer transaction data, which introduces…
SIM tracing -- the ability to inspect, modify, and relay communication between a SIM card and modem -- has become a significant technique in cellular network research. It enables essential security- and development-related applications such…
Many smartphone apps transmit personally identifiable information (PII), often without the users knowledge. To address this issue, we present PrivacyProxy, a system that monitors outbound network traffic and generates app-specific…
Secure Multiparty Computation (SMC) allows parties to know the result of cooperative computation while preserving privacy of individual data. Secure sum computation is an important application of SMC. In our proposed protocols parties are…
Wireless Battery Management Systems (BMS) are increasingly being considered for modern applications. The ever-increasing complexity and production costs of BMS modules and wired connections resulted in a necessity for new ideas and…
Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are one of the most important components in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), which aims to provide secure and efficient communication between vehicles. Safety-critical vehicular communication…
This paper presents a private transfer architecture for the Internet Computer (ICP) that decouples deposit and retrieval through two short-lived intermediaries, with sealed storage and attested teardown by an ephemeral witness. The protocol…
As mobile devices have become indispensable in modern life, mobile security is becoming much more important. Traditional password or PIN-like point-of-entry security measures score low on usability and are vulnerable to brute force and…
This paper describes a new but state-of-the-art approach to provide authenticity in mqtt sessions using the means of zero-knowledge-proofs. This approach completely voids session hijacking for the mqtt protocol and provides authenticity…
With the increased popularity of smartphones, various security threats and privacy leakages targeting them are discovered and investigated. In this work, we present \ourprotocoltight, a framework to authenticate users silently and…
The no-cloning theorem can be used as a basis for quantum money constructions which guarantee unconditionally unforgeable currency. Existing schemes, however, either (i) require long-term quantum memory and quantum communication between the…
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are self-configuring infrastructure-less networks comprised of mobile nodes that communicate over wireless links without any central control on a peer-to-peer basis. These individual nodes act as routers to…
The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) is imposing a severe worldwide lock-down. Contact tracing based on smartphones' applications (apps) has emerged as a possible solution to trace contagions and enforce a more sustainable…
Federated Learning has rapidly expanded from its original inception to now have a large body of research, several frameworks, and sold in a variety of commercial offerings. Thus, its security and robustness is of significant importance.…
In this paper, we propose a novel continuous authentication system for smartphone users. The proposed system entirely relies on unlabeled phone movement patterns collected through smartphone accelerometer. The data was collected in a…
Browser fingerprinting often provides an attractive alternative to third-party cookies for tracking users across the web. In fact, the increasing restrictions on third-party cookies placed by common web browsers and recent regulations like…
The pervasiveness of wireless communication recently gave mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) a significant researchers' attention, due to its innate capabilities of instant communication in many time and mission critical applications. However,…
The growing use of machine learning in cloud environments raises critical concerns about data security and privacy, especially in finance. Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) offers a solution by enabling computations on encrypted data, but…
We propose PrYVeCT, a private-yet-verifiable contact tracing system. PrYVeCT works also as an authorization framework allowing for the definition of fine-grained policies, which a certain facility can define and apply to better model its…
