The rapid development of video surveillance systems for object detection, tracking, activity recognition, and anomaly detection has revolutionized our day-to-day lives while setting alarms for privacy concerns. It isn't easy to strike a…
Optimal interface selection is a key mobility management issue in heterogeneous wireless networks. Measuring the physical or link level performance on a given wireless access networks does not provide a reliable indication of the IP…
Anonymous social networks present a number of new and challenging problems for existing Social Network Analysis techniques. Traditionally, existing methods for analysing graph structure, such as community detection, required global…
A key performance metric in blockchains is the latency between when a transaction is broadcast and when it is confirmed (the so-called, confirmation latency). While improvements in consensus techniques can lead to lower confirmation…
Network Address Translation (NAT) causes well-known difficulties for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, since the peers involved may not be reachable at any globally valid IP address. Several NAT traversal techniques are known, but their…
Packet trimming is a primitive that has been proposed for datacenter networks: to minimize latency, switches run small queues; when the queue overflows, rather than dropping packets the switch trims off the packet payload and either…
The abundance of data collected by sensors in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and the success of deep neural networks in uncovering hidden patterns in time series data have led to mounting privacy concerns. This is because private and…
The Tor anonymous network has become quite popular with regular users on the Internet. In the Tor network, an anonymous path is created by selecting three relays through which the connection is redirected. Nevertheless, as the number of Tor…
Bitcoin is a digital currency which relies on a distributed set of miners to mint coins and on a peer-to-peer network to broadcast transactions. The identities of Bitcoin users are hidden behind pseudonyms (public keys) which are…
Anonymous data collection systems allow users to contribute the data necessary to build services and applications while preserving their privacy. Anonymity, however, can be abused by malicious agents aiming to subvert or to sabotage the…
Anonymous communication networks have emerged as crucial tools for obfuscating communication pathways and concealing user identities. However, their practical deployments face significant challenges, including susceptibility to artificial…
This paper outlines a comprehensive model to increase system efficiency, preserve network bandwidth, monitor incoming and outgoing packets, ensure the security of confidential files and reduce power wastage in an organization. This model…
Distributed (or Federated) learning enables users to train machine learning models on their very own devices, while they share only the gradients of their models usually in a differentially private way (utility loss). Although such a…
The analysis of vast amounts of data and the processing of complex computational jobs have traditionally relied upon high performance computing (HPC) systems. Understanding these analyses' needs is paramount for designing solutions that can…
In an age of voice-enabled technology, voice anonymization offers a solution to protect people's privacy, provided these systems work equally well across subgroups. This study investigates bias in voice anonymization systems within the…
Website Fingerprinting attacks enable a passive eavesdropper to recover the user's otherwise anonymized web browsing activity by matching the observed traffic with prerecorded web traffic templates. The defenses that have been proposed to…
The transition of Large Language Models (LLMs) from passive code generators to autonomous agents introduces significant safety risks, specifically regarding destructive commands and inconsistent system states. Existing commercial solutions…
Novel technological achievements in the fields of business intelligence, business management and data science are based on real-time and complex virtual networks. Sharing data between a large number of organizations that leads to a system…
Despite encryption, the packet size is still visible, enabling observers to infer private information in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment (e.g., IoT device identification). Packet padding obfuscates packet-length characteristics…
Using smartphones for peer-to-peer communication over the Internet is difficult without the aid of centralized services. These centralized services, which usually reside in the cloud, are necessary for brokering communication between peers,…
