Privacy and security are often intertwined. For example, identity theft is rampant because we have become accustomed to authentication by identification. To obtain some service, we provide enough information about our identity for an…
The rapid expansion of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) networks within the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) demands secure and efficient authentication to support high-speed, high-density and mobility-challenged environments. This paper presents a…
As applications of biometric verification proliferate, users become more vulnerable to privacy infringement. Biometric data is very privacy sensitive as it may contain information as gender, ethnicity and health conditions which should not…
The challenge of achieving passwordless user authentication is real given the prevalence of web applications that keep asking passwords. Complicating this issue further, in an enterprise environment, a single sign-on (SSO) service is often…
Anonymous authentication is a technique that allows to combine access control with privacy preservation. Typically, clients use different pseudonyms for each access, hindering providers from correlating their activities. To perform the…
Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), as a new and promising identity management paradigm, needs mechanisms that can ease a gradual transition of existing services and developers towards it. Systems that bridge the gap between SSI and established…
In this paper, we present AltVoice -- a system designed to help user's protect their privacy when using remotely accessed voice services. The system allows a user to conceal their true voice identity information with no cooperation from the…
Consensus is fundamental for distributed systems since it underpins key functionalities of such systems ranging from distributed information fusion, decision-making, to decentralized control. In order to reach an agreement, existing…
The growing deployment of resource-limited Internet of Things (IoT) devices and their expanding attack surfaces demand efficient and scalable security mechanisms. System logs are vital for the trust and auditability of IoT, and offloading…
Security situational awareness refers to identifying, mitigating, and preventing digital cyber threats by gathering information to understand the current situation. With awareness, the basis for decisions is present, particularly in complex…
BrowserID is a complex, real-world Single Sign-On (SSO) System for web applications recently developed by Mozilla. It employs new HTML5 features (such as web messaging and web storage) and cryptographic assertions to provide decentralized…
Tools that synchronize passwords over several user devices typically store the encrypted passwords in a central online database. For encryption, a low-entropy, password-based key is used. Such a database may be subject to unauthorized…
Nowadays, security is becoming a major issue and concern. More and more organizations like hospitals, metropolis or banks are under cyberattacks and have to improve their network infrastructure security. The first prerequisites are to…
The cloud computing platform gives people the opportunity for sharing resources, services and information among the people of the whole world. In private cloud system, information is shared among the persons who are in that cloud. For this,…
Passive operating system fingerprinting reveals valuable information to the defenders of heterogeneous private networks; at the same time, attackers can use fingerprinting to reconnoiter networks, so defenders need obfuscation techniques to…
Gait data captured by inertial sensors have demonstrated promising results on user authentication. However, most existing approaches stored the enrolled gait pattern insecurely for matching with the validating pattern, thus, posed critical…
A simple and practical method for achieving everlasting privacy in e-voting systems, without relying on advanced cryptographic techniques, is to use anonymous voter credentials. The simplicity of this approach may, however, create some…
The proliferation of online biometric authentication has necessitated security requirements of biometric templates. The existing secure biometric authentication schemes feature a server-centric model, where a service provider maintains a…
Credential compromise is hard to detect and hard to mitigate. To address this problem, we present larch, an accountable authentication framework with strong security and privacy properties. Larch protects user privacy while ensuring that…
One-time login process in conventional authentication systems does not guarantee that the identified user is the actual user throughout the session. However, it is necessary to re-verify the user identity periodically throughout a login…
