Owing to the increase in 'certified' phishing websites, there is a steady increase in the number of phishing cases and general susceptibility to phishing. Trust mechanisms (e.g., HTTPS Lock Indicators, SSL Certificates) that help…

As the shortcomings of our current Internet become more and more obvious, researchers have started creating alternative approaches for the Internet of the future. Their design goals are mainly content-orientation, security, support for…

Existing performance comparisons of QUIC and TCP compared an optimized QUIC to an unoptimized TCP stack. By neglecting available TCP improvements inherently included in QUIC, comparisons do not shed light on the performance of current web…

Web browsing is the main Internet Service and every customer wants the minimum web page loading times. To satisfy this perpetual need, web browsers offer new processing engines and increased functionalities. Web developers make use of new…

Prefetching web pages is a well-studied solution to reduce network latency by predicting users' future actions based on their past behaviors. However, such techniques are largely unexplored on mobile platforms. Today's privacy regulations…

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) communications protocol is used to secure traffic between a web browser and server. This technology can significantly reduce the risk of interception and manipulation of web information for…

QUIC is a performance-optimized secure transport protocol and a building block of the upcoming HTTP/3 standard. To protect against denial-of-service attacks, QUIC servers need to validate the IP addresses claimed by their clients. So far,…

We describe HTTP Mailbox, a mechanism to enable RESTful HTTP communication in an asynchronous mode with a full range of HTTP methods otherwise unavailable to standard clients and servers. HTTP Mailbox allows for broadcast and multicast…

Multimedia content delivery over the Internet is predominantly using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) as its primary protocol and multiple proprietary solutions exits. The MPEG standard Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH)…

The Internet of Things (or IoT), which enables the networked interconnection of everyday objects, is becoming increasingly popular in many aspects of our lives ranging from entertainment to health care. While the IoT brings a set of…

Due to the increased demand of network traffic expected during the HL-LHC era, the T2 sites in the USA will be required to have 400Gbps of available bandwidth to their storage solution. With the above in mind we are pursuing a scale test of…

Modern public blockchains like Ethereum rely on p2p networks to run distributed and censorship-resistant applications. With its wide adoption, it operates as a highly critical public ledger. On its transition to become more scalable and…

Online hate speech is a recent problem in our society that is rising at a steady pace by leveraging the vulnerabilities of the corresponding regimes that characterise most social media platforms. This phenomenon is primarily fostered by…

Let's Encrypt is a new entrant in the Certificate Authority ecosystem that offers free and automated certificate signing. It is visionary in its commitment to Certificate Transparency. In this paper, we shed light on the adoption patterns…

WebGL is a browser feature that enables JavaScript-based control of the graphics processing unit (GPU) to render interactive 3D and 2D graphics, without the use of plug-ins. Exploiting WebGL for attacks will affect billions of users since…

HTTP/3 marks a significant advancement in protocol development, utilizing QUIC as its underlying transport layer to exploit multiplexing capabilities and minimize head-of-line blocking. The introduction of the Extensible Prioritization…

TLS 1.3 marks a significant departure from previous versions of the Transport Layer Security protocol (TLS). The new version offers a simplified protocol flow, more secure cryptographic primitives, and new features to improve performance,…

HTTP underpins modern Internet services, and providers enforce quotas to regulate HTTP API traffic for scalability and reliability. When requests exceed quotas, clients are throttled and must retry. Server-side enforcement protects the…

HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) serves to protect websites from certain attacks by allowing web servers to inform browsers that only secure HTTPS connections should be used. However, this still leaves the initial connection unsecured…

In recent years, ethical issues in the networking field are getting moreimportant. In particular, there is a consistent debate about how Internet Service Providers (ISPs) should collect and treat network measurements. This kind of…
