This paper presents new methods enabling anonymous communication on the Internet. We describe a new protocol that allows us to create an anonymous overlay network by exploiting the web browsing activities of regular users. We show that the…
Ad-hoc social networks (ASNETs) represent a special type of traditional ad-hoc network in which a user's social properties (such as the social connections and communications metadata as well as application data) are leveraged for offering…
Safety, efficiency, privacy, and cybersecurity can be achieved jointly in self-organizing networks of communicating vehicles of various automated driving levels. The underlying approach, solutions and novel results are briefly exposed. We…
Commercial cellular telecommunications networks are routinely used as key means of voice and data transport by both businesses and the Public. Despite advances in encryption and other security measures, these commercial cellular networks…
Mobile edge caching is a promising technology for the next-generation mobile networks to effectively offer service environment and cloud-storage capabilities at the edge of networks. By exploiting the storage and computing resources at the…
Social media enables users to publish, disseminate, and access information easily. The downside is that it has fewer gatekeepers of what content is allowed to enter public circulation than the traditional media. In this paper, we present…
Outsourcing data storage to the remote cloud can be an economical solution to enhance data management in the smart grid ecosystem. To protect the privacy of data, the utility company may choose to encrypt the data before uploading them to…
Cloud computing and distributed computing are becoming ubiquitous in many modern control systems such as smart grids, building automation, robot swarms or intelligent transportation systems. Compared to "isolated" control systems, the…
Steganography is the art of hiding the fact that communication is taking place, by hiding information in other information. Different types of carrier file formats can be used, but digital images are the most popular ones because of their…
Data hiding is the art of hiding secret data into a cover object such as digital image for covert communication. In this paper, we make the first step towards hiding ``data hiding'', which is totally different from many conventional works…
We consider an edge computing scenario where users want to perform a linear computation on local, private data and a network-wide, public matrix. Users offload computations to edge servers located at the edge of the network, but do not want…
We present the design and implementation of the PeerShare, a system that can be used by applications to securely distribute sensitive data to social contacts of a user. PeerShare incorporates a generic framework that allows different…
A major feature of the emerging geo-social networks is the ability to notify a user when one of his friends (also called buddies) happens to be geographically in proximity with the user. This proximity service is usually offered by the…
Cloud Computing holds the potential to eliminate the requirements for setting up of high-cost computing infrastructure for the IT-based solutions and services that the industry uses. It promises to provide a flexible IT architecture,…
Speech technology for communication, accessing information, and services has rapidly improved in quality. It is convenient and appealing because speech is the primary mode of communication for humans. Such technology, however, also presents…
This paper discusses about the challenges, advantages and shortcomings of existing solutions in data security and privacy in public cloud computing. As in cloud computing, oceans of data will be stored. Data stored in public cloud would…
Existing communication systems are mainly built based on Shannon's information theory which deliberately ignores the semantic aspects of communication. The recent iteration of wireless technology, the so-called 5G and beyond, promises to…
We first explain the notion of secret sharing and also threshold schemes, which can be implemented with the Shamir's secret sharing. Subsequently, we review social secret sharing (NSG'10,NS'10) and its trust function. In a secret sharing…
Machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS) is enabling a wide range of smart applications on end devices. However, such convenience comes with a cost of privacy because users have to upload their private data to the cloud. This research aims to…
Online social networks have stimulated communications over the Internet more than ever, making it possible for secret message transmission over such noisy channels. In this paper, we propose a Coverless Image Steganography Network, called…
