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…
Cross-view geo-localization is to spot images of the same geographic target from different platforms, e.g., drone-view cameras and satellites. It is challenging in the large visual appearance changes caused by extreme viewpoint variations.…
Cross-view geo-localization has garnered notable attention in the realm of computer vision, spurred by the widespread availability of copious geotagged datasets and the advancements in machine learning techniques. This paper provides a…
The number of people on social networks has grown exponentially. Users share very large volumes of personal informations and content every days. This content could be tagged with geo-spatial and temporal coordinates that may be considered…
Geographically locating an IP address is of interest for many purposes. There are two major ways to obtain the location of an IP address: querying commercial databases or conducting latency measurements. For structural Internet nodes, such…
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) support data collection and distributed data processing by means of very small sensing devices that are easy to tamper and cloning: therefore classical security solutions based on access control and strong…
Localization in mobile networks has been widely applied in many scenarios. However, an entity responsible for location estimation exposes both the target and anchors to potential location leakage at any time, creating serious security…
Location privacy is critical in vehicular networks, where drivers' trajectories and personal information can be exposed, allowing adversaries to launch data and physical attacks that threaten drivers' safety and personal security. This…
Reliable image geolocation is crucial for several applications, ranging from social media geo-tagging to fake news detection. State-of-the-art geolocation methods surpass human performance on the task of geolocation estimation from images.…
To support location-based services, vehicles must share their location with a server to receive relevant data, compromising their (location) privacy. To alleviate this privacy compromise, the vehicle's location can be obfuscated by adding…
The proliferation of various data sources in urban and territorial environments has significantly facilitated the development of geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) across a wide range of geospatial applications. However, geospatial…
The location of Internet hosts is frequently used in distributed applications and networking services. Examples include customized advertising, distribution of content, and position-based security. Unfortunately the relationship between an…
Today's geo-location estimation approaches are able to infer the location of a target image using its visual content alone. These approaches exploit visual matching techniques, applied to a large collection of background images with known…
Cross-view geo-localization (CVGL) aims to match images of the same location captured from drastically different viewpoints. Despite recent progress, existing methods still face two key challenges: (1) achieving robustness under severe…
We discuss quantum position verification (QPV) protocols in which the verifiers create and send single-qubit states to the prover. QPV protocols using single-qubit states are known to be insecure against adversaries that share a small…
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…
In a spoofing attack, a malicious actor impersonates a legitimate user to access or manipulate data without authorization. The vulnerability of cryptographic security mechanisms to compromised user credentials motivates spoofing attack…
This paper uses two commercial datasets of IP addresses from smartphones, geolocated through the Global Positioning System (GPS), to characterize the geography of IP address subnets from mobile and broadband ISPs. Datasets that ge olocate…
The popularity of cyber-physical systems is fueling the rapid growth of location-based services. This poses the risk of location privacy disclosure. Effective privacy preservation is foremost for various mobile applications. Recently,…
The concept of geo-localization refers to the process of determining where on earth some `entity' is located, typically using Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates. The entity of interest may be an image, sequence of images, a video,…
