Passive monitoring is a network measurement technique which analyzes the traffic carried by an operational network. It has several applications for traffic engineering, Quality of Experience monitoring and cyber security. However, it…
With the increasing emphasis on privacy regulations, such as GDPR, protecting individual privacy and ensuring compliance have become critical concerns for both individuals and organizations. Privacy-preserving machine learning (PPML) is an…
The deployment of smart-card-based public transit fare payment systems provides government the opportunity to create a valuable derivative data product. Companies such as Urban Engines have demonstrated an ability to add value to the data…
Recent advancements in privacy-preserving machine learning are paving the way to extend the benefits of ML to highly sensitive data that, until now, have been hard to utilize due to privacy concerns and regulatory constraints.…
Data-driven predictive control of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) has received increasing attention as it can achieve safe and optimal control without relying on explicit dynamical models. However, employing the data-driven strategy…
Human mobility data is a crucial resource for urban mobility management, but it does not come without personal reference. The implementation of security measures such as anonymization is thus needed to protect individuals' privacy. Often, a…
In a Multi-Agent System (MAS), individual agents observe various aspects of the environment and transmit this information to a central entity responsible for aggregating the data and deducing system parameters. To improve overall…
This work introduces PAS -- Privacy Anchor Substitution, a structured mechanism for enabling user location privacy in spatial retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. Unlike conventional differential privacy methods that directly…
Differential privacy is a rigorous definition for privacy that guarantees that any analysis performed on a sensitive dataset leaks no information about the individuals whose data are contained therein. In this work, we develop new…
Analytics on video recorded by cameras in public areas have the potential to fuel many exciting applications, but also pose the risk of intruding on individuals' privacy. Unfortunately, existing solutions fail to practically resolve this…
As network security monitoring grows more sophisticated, there is an increasing need for outsourcing such tasks to third-party analysts. However, organizations are usually reluctant to share their network traces due to privacy concerns over…
Mobile network operators can track subscribers via passive or active monitoring of device locations. The recorded trajectories offer an unprecedented outlook on the activities of large user populations, which enables developing new…
Data collaboration between municipal authorities (MA) and mobility providers (MPs) has brought tremendous benefits to transportation systems in the era of big data. Engaging in collaboration can improve the service operations (e.g., reduced…
We consider a fully-decentralized scenario in which no central trusted entity exists and all clients are honest-but-curious. The state-of-the-art approaches to this problem often rely on cryptographic protocols, such as multiparty…
An increasing amount of mobility data is being collected every day by different means, e.g., by mobile phone operators. This data is sometimes published after the application of simple anonymization techniques, which might lead to severe…
Today, many web advertising data flows involve passive cross-site tracking of users. Enabling such a mechanism through the usage of third party tracking cookies (3PC) exposes sensitive user data to a large number of parties, with little…
The explosive growth of vehicle amount has given rise to a series of traffic problems, such as traffic congestion, road safety, and fuel waste. Collecting vehicles' speed information is an effective way to monitor the traffic condition and…
We estimate vehicular traffic states from multimodal data collected by single-loop detectors while preserving the privacy of the individual vehicles contributing to the data. To this end, we propose a novel hybrid differential privacy (DP)…
In the Internet of Things and smart environments data, collected from distributed sensors, is typically stored and processed by a central middleware. This allows applications to query the data they need for providing further services.…
Traffic systems are multi-agent cyber-physical systems whose performance is closely related to human welfare. They work in open environments and are subject to uncertainties from various sources, making their performance hard to verify by…
