Mobile location-based services (LBSs) empowered by mobile crowdsourcing provide users with context-aware intelligent services based on user locations. As smartphones are capable of collecting and disseminating massive user location-embedded…
Sensors (e.g., light, gyroscope, accelerometer) and sensing-enabled applications on a smart device make the applications more user-friendly and efficient. However, the current permission-based sensor management systems of smart devices only…
We present ConXsense, the first framework for context-aware access control on mobile devices based on context classification. Previous context-aware access control systems often require users to laboriously specify detailed policies or they…
Psychological stress is a widespread issue that significantly impacts student well-being and academic performance. Effective remote stress recognition is crucial, yet existing methods often rely on wearable devices or GPS-based clustering…
Recently proposed systems aim at achieving privacy using locality-sensitive hashing. We show how these approaches fail by presenting attacks against two such systems: Google's FLoC proposal for privacy-preserving targeted advertising and…
Conversational agents are increasingly woven into individuals' personal lives, yet users often underestimate the privacy risks associated with them. The moment users share information with these agents-such as large language models…
Location-based Services (LBSs) provide valuable services, with convenient features for users. However, the information disclosed through each request harms user privacy. This is a concern particularly with honest-but-curious LBS servers,…
Sensors (e.g., light, gyroscope, accelerotmeter) and sensing enabled applications on a smart device make the applications more user-friendly and efficient. However, the current permission-based sensor management systems of smart devices…
Contact tracing requires a strong understanding of the context of a user, and location with other sensory data could provide a context for any infection encounter. Although Bluetooth technology gives a good insight into the proximity aspect…
Authentication of smartphone users is important because a lot of sensitive data is stored in the smartphone and the smartphone is also used to access various cloud data and services. However, smartphones are easily stolen or co-opted by an…
Monitoring location updates from mobile users has important applications in many areas, ranging from public safety and national security to social networks and advertising. However, sensitive information can be derived from movement…
Location-Based Services (LBSs) provide valuable services, with convenient features for mobile users. However, the location and other information disclosed through each query to the LBS erodes user privacy. This is a concern especially…
The burgeoning technology of Mobile Edge Computing is attracting the traditional LBS and LS to deploy due to its nature characters such as low latency and location awareness. Although this transplant will avoid the location privacy threat…
A context-aware recommender system (CARS) applies sensing and analysis of user context to provide personalized services. The contextual information can be driven from sensors in order to improve the accuracy of the recommendations. Yet,…
Navigation and positioning systems dependent on both the operating environment and the behaviour of the host vehicle or user. The environment determines the type and quality of radio signals available for positioning and the behaviour can…
Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) is one of the most popular methods for $c$-Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search ($c$-ANNS) in high-dimensional spaces. In this paper, we propose a novel LSH scheme based on the Longest Circular Co-Substring…
In pervasive computing environments, Location- Based Services (LBSs) are becoming increasingly important due to continuous advances in mobile networks and positioning technologies. Nevertheless, the wide deployment of LBSs can jeopardize…
WiFi sensing is an emerging technology that utilizes wireless signals for various sensing applications. However, the reliance on supervised learning, the scarcity of labelled data, and the incomprehensible channel state information (CSI)…
Most of the current user authentication systems are based on PIN code, password, or biometrics traits which can have some limitations in usage and security. Lifestyle authentication has become a new research approach. A promising idea for…
With the advent of GPS enabled smartphones, an increasing number of users is actively sharing their location through a variety of applications and services. Along with the continuing growth of Location-Based Social Networks (LBSNs),…
