Different from public 4G/5G networks that are dominated by downlink traffic, emerging 5G non-public networks (NPNs) need to support significant uplink traffic to enable emerging applications such as industrial Internet of things (IIoT). The…
Network services are increasingly managed by considering chained-up virtual network functions and relevant traffic flows, known as the Service Function Chains (SFCs). To deal with sequential arrivals of SFCs in an online fashion, we must…
Existing processes and methods for incident handling are geared towards infrastructures and operational models that will be increasingly outdated by cloud computing. Research has shown that to adapt incident handling to cloud computing…
Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) systems raise unprecedented challenges regarding security and privacy since related applications involve the gathering of sensitive, identifiable information about people and the environment,…
Privacy and security have rapidly emerged as first order design constraints. Users now demand more protection over who can see their data (confidentiality) as well as how it is used (control). Here, existing cryptographic techniques for…
We describe a method for remotely detecting intentional packet drops on the Internet via side channel inferences. That is, given two arbitrary IP addresses on the Internet that meet some simple requirements, our proposed technique can…
The benefits of the ubiquitous caching in ICN are profound, such features make ICN promising for content distribution, but it also introduces a challenge to content protection against the unauthorized access. The protection of a content…
Multi-GPU systems are becoming increasingly important in highperformance computing (HPC) and cloud infrastructure, providing acceleration for data-intensive applications, including machine learning workloads. These systems consist of…
Edge caching (EC) decreases the average access delay of the end-users through caching popular content at the edge network, however, it increases the leakage probability of valuable information such as users preferences. Most of the existing…
While various aspects of edge computing (EC) have been studied extensively, the current literature has overlooked the robust edge network operations and planning problem. To this end, this letter proposes a novel fairness-aware…
A Covert Channel (CC) exploits legitimate communication mechanisms to stealthily transmit information, often bypassing traditional security controls. Among these, a novel paradigm called History Covert Channels (HCC) leverages past network…
Side-channel attacks exploit variations in non-functional behaviors to expose sensitive information across security boundaries. Existing methods leverage side-channels based on power consumption, electromagnetic radiation, silicon substrate…
The Tor anonymity system provides online privacy for millions of users, but it is slower than typical web browsing. To improve Tor performance, we propose PredicTor, a path selection technique that uses a Random Forest classifier trained on…
Many organizations protect secure networked devices from non-secure networked devices by assigning each class of devices to a different logical network. These two logical networks, commonly called the host network and the guest network, use…
We propose an efficient framework for enabling secure multi-party numerical computations in a Peer-to-Peer network. This problem arises in a range of applications such as collaborative filtering, distributed computation of trust and…
To date, traffic obfuscation techniques have been widely adopted to protect network data privacy and security by obscuring the true patterns of traffic. Nevertheless, as the pre-trained models emerge, especially transformer-based…
Last-level cache side-channel attacks have been mostly demonstrated in highly-controlled, quiescent local environments. Hence, it is unclear whether such attacks are feasible in a production cloud environment. In the cloud, side channels…
In neural network (NN) security, safeguarding model integrity and resilience against adversarial attacks has become paramount. This study investigates the application of stochastic computing (SC) as a novel mechanism to fortify NN models.…
The cloud model's dependence on massive parallelism and resource sharing exacerbates the security challenge of timing side-channels. Timing Information Flow Control (TIFC) is a novel adaptation of IFC techniques that may offer a way to…
In today's digital world, personal data is being continuously collected and analyzed without data owners' consent and choice. As data owners constantly generate data on their personal devices, the tension of storing private data on their…
