Broken Access Control (BAC) violations, which consistently rank among the top five security risks in the OWASP API Security Top 10, refer to unauthorized access attempts arising from BAC vulnerabilities, whose successful exploitation can…
The error performance of the Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) technique suffers from the inter-user interference (IUI) although it is a promising technique for the future wireless systems in terms of the achievable sum rate. Hence, a…
In concurrent and distributed systems, software components are expected to communicate according to predetermined protocols and APIs - and if a component does not observe them, the system's reliability is compromised. Furthermore, isolating…
Broken access control is one of the most common security vulnerabilities in web applications. These vulnerabilities are the major cause of many data breach incidents, which result in privacy concern and revenue loss. However, preventing and…
Business process design and monitoring are essential elements of Business Process Management (BPM), often relying on Service Oriented Architectures (SOA). However the current BPM approaches and standards have not sufficiently reduced the…
Access control mechanisms have been adopted in many real-world systems to control resource sharing for the principals in the system. An error in the access control policy (misconfiguration) can easily cause severe data leakage and system…
Technology evolves quickly. Low-cost and ready-to-connect devices are designed to provide new services and applications. Smart grids or smart healthcare systems are some examples of these applications, all of which are in the context of…
Personal and home sensors generate valuable information that could be used in Smart Cities. Unfortunately, typically, this data is locked out and used only by application/system developer. While vendors are to blame, one should consider…
We develop a remote patient monitoring (RPM) service architecture, which has two tiers of monitoring: ordinary and intensive. The patient's health state improves or worsens in each time period according to certain probabilities, which…
Policy-based network management (PBNM) paradigms provide an effective tool for end-to-end resource management in converged next generation networks by enabling unified, adaptive and scalable solutions that integrate and co-ordinate diverse…
AI safety systems face the dual-use dilemma. It is unclear whether to answer dual-use requests, since the same query could be either harmless or harmful depending on who made it and why. To make better decisions, such systems would need to…
Benefiting from the technology based strategies, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been able to achieve the general goals such as agility, flexibility, reusability and efficiency. Nevertheless, technical conditions alone cannot…
Software services are inevitably exposed to a fluctuating threat picture. Unfortunately, not all threats can be handled only with preventive measures during design and development, but also require adaptive mitigations at runtime. In this…
Computer networks today typically do not provide any mechanisms to the users to learn, in a reliable manner, which paths have (and have not) been taken by their packets. Rather, it seems inevitable that as soon as a packet leaves the…
Service-Oriented Computing delivers the promise of configuring and reconfiguring software systems to address user's needs in a dynamic way. Context-aware computing promises to capture the user's needs and hence the requirements they have on…
The era of big data has promoted the vigorous development of many industries, boosting the full potential of holistic data-driven analysis. Hadoop has become the primary choice for mainstream platforms used by stakeholders to process big…
Ensuring the functional safety of motion planning modules in autonomous vehicles remains a critical challenge, especially when dealing with complex or learning-based software. Online verification has emerged as a promising approach to…
Maintaining the security of control systems in the presence of integrity attacks is a significant challenge. In literature, several possible attacks against control systems have been formulated including replay, false data injection, and…
The advantages of IoT in strengthening commercial, industrial, and social ecosystems have led to its widespread expansion. Nevertheless, because endpoint devices have limited computation, storage, and communication capabilities, the IoT…
Online AI decision-making algorithms are increasingly used by digital interventions to dynamically personalize treatment to individuals. These algorithms determine, in real-time, the delivery of treatment based on accruing data. The…
