Today, the Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the emerging technologies that enable the connection and transfer of information through communication networks. The main idea of the IoT is the widespread presence of objects such as mobile…
One of the defining features of Bitcoin and the thousands of cryptocurrencies that have been derived from it is a globally visible transaction ledger. While Bitcoin uses pseudonyms as a way to hide the identity of its participants, a long…
With the everlasting development of technology and society, data privacy has proven to grow into a pressing issue. The bureaucratic state system seems to expand the number of personal documents required for any kind of request. Therefore,…
In this paper a homomorphic privacy preserving association rule mining algorithm is proposed which can be deployed in resource constrained devices (RCD). Privacy preserved exchange of counts of itemsets among distributed mining sites is a…
Consumers frequently interact with reputation systems to rate products, services, and deliveries. While past research extensively studied different conceptual approaches to realize such systems securely and privacy-preservingly, these…
Over the past few years, traffic congestion has continuously plagued the nation's transportation system creating several negative impacts including longer travel times, increased pollution rates, and higher collision risks. To overcome…
Passive RFID technology is widely used in user authentication and access control. We propose RF-Rhythm, a secure and usable two-factor RFID authentication system with strong resilience to lost/stolen/cloned RFID cards. In RF-Rhythm, each…
Anonymous communication networks have emerged as crucial tools for obfuscating communication pathways and concealing user identities. However, their practical deployments face significant challenges, including susceptibility to artificial…
Much of the research in differential privacy has focused on offline applications with the assumption that all data is available at once. When these algorithms are applied in practice to streams where data is collected over time, this either…
With the rapid development of GPS enabled devices (smartphones) and location-based applications, location privacy is increasingly concerned. Intuitively, it is widely believed that location privacy can be preserved by publishing aggregated…
An increasing amount of mobility data is being collected every day by different means, such as mobile applications or crowd-sensing campaigns. This data is sometimes published after the application of simple anonymization techniques (e.g.,…
On-chain crowdsourcing leverages blockchain's decentralization, transparency, and tamper-resistance to build trustworthy and verifiable Web3 crowdsourced services. However, existing decentralized reputation frameworks do not reconcile…
Pseudonyms are widely used in Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) to protect the location privacy of vehicles. However, the unlinkability nature of pseudonyms also enables Sybil attacks, where a malicious vehicle can pretend…
In order to protect user privacy on mobile devices, an event-driven implicit authentication scheme is proposed in this paper. Several methods of utilizing the scheme for recognizing legitimate user behavior are investigated. The…
Data scarcity has become one of the main obstacles to developing supervised models based on Artificial Intelligence in Computer Vision. Indeed, Deep Learning-based models systematically struggle when applied in new scenarios never seen…
The evaluation of audio fingerprinting at a realistic scale is limited by the scarcity of large public music databases. We present an audio-free approach that synthesises latent fingerprints which approximate the distribution of real…
Training generative machine learning models to produce synthetic tabular data has become a popular approach for enhancing privacy in data sharing. As this typically involves processing sensitive personal information, releasing either the…
Growing application memory demands and concurrent usage are making mobile device memory scarce. When memory pressure is high, current mobile systems use a RAM-based compressed swap scheme (called ZRAM) to compress unused execution-related…
Trajectory streams are being generated from location-aware devices, such as smartphones and in-vehicle navigation systems. Due to the sensitive nature of the location data, directly sharing user trajectories suffers from privacy leakage…
