IP Geofeed is a recently proposed informational standard that allows network operators to publish the geographical location of deployed IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes. In this work we study the adoption of IP geofeed, assess deployment of geofeed…
Improperly configured domain name system (DNS) servers are sometimes used as packet reflectors as part of a DoS or DDoS attack. Detecting packets created as a result of this activity is logically possible by monitoring the DNS request and…
Finding trajectories and discovering motifs that are similar in large datasets is a central problem for a wide range of applications. Solutions addressing this problem usually rely on spatial indexing and on the computation of a similarity…
Emerging protocols such as DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-TLS (DoT) improve the privacy of DNS queries and responses. While this trend towards encryption is positive, deployment of these protocols has in some cases resulted in further…
This paper studies image-based geo-localization (IBL) problem using ground-to-aerial cross-view matching. The goal is to predict the spatial location of a ground-level query image by matching it to a large geotagged aerial image database…
Deep learning and other machine learning approaches are deployed to many systems related to Internet of Things or IoT. However, it faces challenges that adversaries can take loopholes to hack these systems through tampering history data.…
Recent indexing techniques inspired by source coding have been shown successful to index billions of high-dimensional vectors in memory. In this paper, we propose an approach that re-ranks the neighbor hypotheses obtained by these…
The standard approach for visual place recognition is to use global image descriptors to retrieve the most similar database images for a given query image. The results can then be further improved with re-ranking methods that re-order the…
Our study aims to build a machine learning model for crime prediction using geospatial features for different categories of crime. The reverse geocoding technique is applied to retrieve open street map (OSM) spatial data. This study also…
Localization in outdoor wireless systems typically requires transmitting specific reference signals to estimate distance (trilateration methods) or angle (triangulation methods). These cause overhead on communication, need a LoS link to…
The Internet's TCP/IP architecture was designed for resilient packet delivery between hosts identified by IP addresses. Over time, however, the consolidation of applications and services into large-scale platforms built on that universal…
The Domain Name System (DNS) is central to all Internet user activity, resolving accessed domain names into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. As a result, curious DNS resolvers can learn everything about Internet users' interests. Public…
Some people implement pattern and best practices without analyzing its efficiency on their projects. Consequently, our goal in this article is to convince software developers that it is worth to make an earnest effort to evaluate the use of…
The Domain Name System (DNS) service is one of the pillars of the Internet. This service allows users to access websites on the Internet through easy-to-remember domain names rather than complex numeric IP addresses. DNS acts as a directory…
"Reverse Nearest Neighbor" query finds applications in decision support systems, profile-based marketing, emergency services etc. In this paper, we point out a few flaws in the branch and bound algorithms proposed earlier for computing…
The latest developments in digital have provided large data sets that can increasingly easily be accessed and used. These data sets often contain indirect localisation information, such as historical addresses. Historical geocoding is the…
Nowadays, users are encouraged to activate across multiple online social networks simultaneously. Anchor link prediction, which aims to reveal the correspondence among different accounts of the same user across networks, has been regarded…
Accurate face landmark localization is an essential part of face recognition, reconstruction and morphing. To accurately localize face landmarks, we present our heatmap regression approach. Each model consists of a MobileNetV2 backbone…
Worldwide image geolocalization-the task of predicting GPS coordinates from images taken anywhere on Earth-poses a fundamental challenge due to the vast diversity in visual content across regions. While recent approaches adopt a two-stage…
The tremendous popularity gained by Online Social Networks (OSNs) raises natural concerns about user privacy in social media platforms. Though users in OSNs can tune their privacy by deliberately deciding what to share, the interaction with…
