Distributed data storage systems are essential to deal with the need to store massive volumes of data. In order to make such a system fault-tolerant, some form of redundancy becomes crucial, incurring various overheads - most prominently in…
An essential step for achieving multiplexing gain in MIMO downlink systems is to collect accurate channel state information (CSI) from the users. Traditionally, CSIs have to be collected before any data can be transmitted. Such a sequential…
In this paper, we study distributed storage problems over unidirectional ring networks, whose storage nodes form a directed ring and data is transmitted along the same direction. The original data is distributed to store on these nodes.…
With the surge in cloud storage adoption, enterprises face challenges managing data duplication and exponential data growth. Deduplication mitigates redundancy, yet maintaining redundancy ensures high availability, incurring storage costs.…
Recent work in traffic analysis has shown that traffic patterns leaked through side channels can be used to recover important semantic information. For instance, attackers can find out which website, or which page on a website, a user is…
Recent studies have proven that deep neural networks are vulnerable to backdoor attacks. Specifically, by mixing a small number of poisoned samples into the training set, the behavior of the trained model can be maliciously controlled.…
Robust change-point detection for large-scale data streams has many real-world applications in industrial quality control, signal detection, biosurveillance. Unfortunately, it is highly non-trivial to develop efficient schemes due to three…
Cloud computing environments are increasingly vulnerable to security threats such as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and SQL injection. Traditional security mechanisms, based on rule matching and feature recognition, struggle…
Efficient utilization of licensed spectrum in the cognitive radio network is challenging due to lack of coordination among the Secondary Users (SUs). Distributed algorithms proposed in the literature aim to maximize the network throughput…
Modern multi-core processors share cache resources for maximum cache utilization and performance gains. However, this leaves the cache vulnerable to side-channel attacks, where timing differences in shared cache behavior are exploited to…
When facing objects/files of differing sizes in content delivery networks (CDNs) caches, pursuing an optimal object miss ratio (OMR) by approximating Belady no longer ensures an optimal byte miss ratio (BMR), creating confusion about how to…
Self-supervised learning (SSL) is now a serious competitor for supervised learning, even though it does not require data annotation. Several baselines have attempted to make SSL models exploit information about data distribution, and less…
Currently, an increasing number of users and enterprises are storing their data in the cloud but do not fully trust cloud providers with their data in plaintext form. To address this concern, they encrypt their data before uploading it to…
Traditional approaches to replication require client requests to be ordered before making them durable by copying them to replicas. As a result, clients must wait for two round-trip times (RTTs) before updates complete. In this paper, we…
One key requirement for storage clouds is to be able to retrieve data quickly. Recent system measurements have shown that the data retrieving delay in storage clouds is highly variable, which may result in a long latency tail. One crucial…
There are many challenging problems in the person re-identification (ReID) task, such as the occlusion and scale variation. Existing works usually tried to solve them by employing a one-branch network. This one-branch network needs to be…
Future networks are expected to support various ultra-reliable low-latency communications via wireless links. To avoid the loss of packets and keep the low latency, sliding network coding (SNC) is an emerging technology by generating…
According to recent empirical studies, a majority of users have the same, or very similar, passwords across multiple password-secured online services. This practice can have disastrous consequences, as one password being compromised puts…
While network slicing has become a prevalent approach to service differentiation, radio access network (RAN) slicing remains challenging due to the need of substantial adaptivity and flexibility to cope with the highly dynamic network…
Wireless communication is increasingly used in industrial environments, since it supports mobility of interconnected devices. Among the transmission technologies operating in unlicensed bands available to this purpose, Wi-Fi is certainly…
