Anonymous communication networks are important building blocks for online privacy protection. One approach to achieve anonymity is to relay messages through multiple routers, where each router shuffles messages independently. To achieve…

In this paper we propose a new practical P2P system based on a full transposition network topology named TRANS-Net. Full transposition networks achieve higher fault-tolerance and lower congestion among the class of transposition networks.…

In some situations the communications of a place can be affected, totally lost, or not even exist. In these cases, the MANETs play an important role, allowing to establish a communications point using the different nodes of the network to…

Advancements in deep learning enable cloud servers to provide inference-as-a-service for clients. In this scenario, clients send their raw data to the server to run the deep learning model and send back the results. One standing challenge…

While there exist mixnets that can anonymously route large amounts of data packets with end to end latency that can be as low as a second, %making them attractive for a variety of applications, combining this level of performance with…

The growing popularity of cloud-based machine learning raises a natural question about the privacy guarantees that can be provided in such a setting. Our work tackles this problem in the context where a client wishes to classify private…

HTCondor is a major workload management system used in distributed high throughput computing (dHTC) environments, e.g., the Open Science Grid. One of the distinguishing features of HTCondor is the native support for data movement, allowing…

Developed by the APE group, APENet is a new high speed, low latency, 3-dimensional interconnect architecture optimized for PC clusters running LQCD-like numerical applications. The hardware implementation is based on a single PCI-X 133MHz…

We present HoHoNet, a versatile and efficient framework for holistic understanding of an indoor 360-degree panorama using a Latent Horizontal Feature (LHFeat). The compact LHFeat flattens the features along the vertical direction and has…

Organizational networks are vulnerable to traffic-analysis attacks that enable adversaries to infer sensitive information from the network traffic - even if encryption is used. Typical anonymous communication networks are tailored to the…

Quick network address translation (NAT) is proposed to improve the network performance of the NAT system on the commodity server by three ways. First, the quick NAT search algorithm is designed to use the Hash search instead of the…

Meeting the staggering bandwidth requirements of today's applications challenges the traditional narrow and serialized NoCs, which hit hard bounds on the maximum operating frequency. This paper proposes FlooNoC, an open-source, low-latency,…

Privacy-preserving solutions enable companies to offload confidential data to third-party services while fulfilling their government regulations. To accomplish this, they leverage various cryptographic techniques such as Homomorphic…

The Onion Router (Tor) is a controversial network whose utility is constantly under scrutiny. On the one hand, it allows for anonymous interaction and cooperation of users seeking untraceable navigation on the Internet. This freedom also…

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of two or more devices or nodes or terminals with wireless communications and networking capability that communicate with each other without the aid of any centralized administrator also the…

Privacy-preserving neural network (NN) inference can be achieved by utilizing homomorphic encryption (HE), which allows computations to be directly carried out over ciphertexts. Popular HE schemes are built over large polynomial rings. To…

Heterogeneous network (HetNet) is a key enabler to largely boost network coverage and capacity in the forthcoming fifth-generation (5G) and beyond. To support the explosively growing mobile data volumes, wireless communications with…
