This paper studies secure video streaming in cache-enabled small cell networks, where some of the cache-enabled small cell base stations (BSs) helping in video delivery are untrusted. Unfavorably, caching improves the eavesdropping…
In today's web ecosystem, a website that uses a Content Delivery Network (CDN) shares its Transport Layer Security (TLS) private key or session key with the CDN. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of InviCloak, a system…
Decentralized coded content caching for next generation cellular networks is studied. The contents are linearly combined and cached in under-utilized caches of User Terminals (UTs) and its throughput capacity is compared with decentralized…
The client-server model is known to scale badly without redundant servers and caches. Information-Centric Networks (ICN) are an alternative designed to lessen that problem by distributing load to intermediary routers, lowering the bar to…
Content caching is a widely studied technique aimed to reduce the network load imposed by data transmission during peak time while ensuring users' quality of experience. It has been shown that when there is a common link between caches and…
Coded caching and device-to-device (D2D) communication are two effective techniques for alleviating network traffic. Secure transmission and file privacy have also become critical concerns in these domains. However, prevailing coded caching…
Information Centric Networking (ICN) advocates the philosophy of accessing the content independent of its location. Owing to this location independence in ICN, the routers en-route can be enabled to cache the content to serve the future…
Coded caching is an efficient way to reduce network traffic congestion during peak hours by storing some content at the user's local cache memory without knowledge of later demands. The goal of coded caching design is to minimize the…
Information-centric networks are an interesting new paradigm for distributing content on the Internet. They bring up many research challenges, such as addressing content by name, securing content, and wide-spread caching of content. Caching…
Content delivery networks (CDNs) provide efficient content distribution over the Internet. CDNs improve the connectivity and efficiency of global communications, but their caching mechanisms may be breached by cyber-attackers. Among the…
Centralized coded caching of popular contents is studied for users with heterogeneous distortion requirements, corresponding to diverse processing and display capabilities of mobile devices. Users' distortion requirements are assumed to be…
Coded caching is a technique that leverages locally cached contents at the end users to reduce the network's peak-time communication load. Coded caching has been shown to achieve significant performance gains with a centralized placement…
Information-Centric Networking (ICN) introduces a paradigm shift from a host centric communication model for Future Internet architectures. It supports the retrieval of a particular content regardless of the physical location of the…
A distributed storage system (DSS) needs to be efficiently accessible and repairable. Recently, considerable effort has been made towards the latter, while the former is usually not considered, since a trivial solution exists in the form of…
Decentralized Pliable Index Coding (DPIC) problem addresses efficient information exchange in distributed systems where clients communicate among themselves without a central server. An important consideration in DPIC is the heterogeneity…
We introduce SwiftCache, a "fresh" learning-based caching framework designed for content distribution networks (CDNs) featuring distributed front-end local caches and a dynamic back-end database. Users prefer the most recent version of the…
This paper proposes a novel encryption-based access control mechanism for Named Data Networking (NDN). The scheme allows data producers to share their content in encrypted form before transmitting it to consumers. The encryption mechanism…
Next-generation communication networks are envisioned to extensively utilize storage-enabled caching units to alleviate unfavorable surges of data traffic by pro-actively storing anticipated highly popular contents across geographically…
From currency to cloud storage systems, the continuous rise of the blockchain technology is moving various information systems towards decentralization. Blockchain-based decentralized storage networks (DSNs) offer significantly higher…
In this paper, we present a very important primitive called Information Checking Protocol (ICP) which plays an important role in constructing statistical Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) and Weak Secret Sharing (WSS) protocols. Informally,…
