Covert wireless communication can prevent an adversary from knowing the existence of user's transmission, thus provide stronger security protection. In AWGN channels, a square root law was obtained and the result shows that Alice can…
In this paper, we study the problem of secure transmission with covert requirement in untrusted relaying networks. Our considered system model consists of one source, one destination, one untrusted relay, and one Willie. The untrusted relay…
In quantum weak oblivious transfer, Alice sends Bob two bits and Bob can learn one of the bits at his choice. It was found that the security of such a protocol is bounded by $2P_{Alice}^{\ast }+P_{Bob}^{\ast }\geq 2$, where $P_{Alice}^{\ast…
We consider the scenario wherein Alice wants to (potentially) communicate to the intended receiver Bob over a network consisting of multiple parallel links in the presence of a passive eavesdropper Willie, who observes an unknown subset of…
This paper investigates covert communications in an integrated sensing and communications system, where a dual-functional base station (called Alice) covertly transmits signals to a covert user (called Bob) while sensing multiple targets,…
Covert communication conceals the transmission of the message from an attentive adversary. Recent work on the limits of covert communication in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels has demonstrated that a covert transmitter (Alice)…
Motivated by the growing interest in today's massive parallel computing capabilities we analyze a queueing network with many servers in parallel to which jobs arrive a according to a Poisson process. Each job, upon arrival, is split into…
We consider a large distributed service system consisting of $n$ homogeneous servers with infinite capacity FIFO queues. Jobs arrive as a Poisson process of rate $\lambda n/k_n$ (for some positive constant $\lambda$ and integer $k_n$). Each…
In this paper, we study systems where each job or request can be split into a flexible number of sub-jobs up to a maximum limit. The number of sub-jobs a job is split into depends on the number of available servers found upon its arrival.…
Suppose that a transmitter Alice potentially wishes to communicate with a receiver Bob over an adversarially jammed binary channel. An active adversary James eavesdrops on their communication over a binary symmetric channel (BSC(q)), and…
In this work, we study information leakage in timing side channels that arise in the context of shared event schedulers. Consider two processes, one of them an innocuous process (referred to as Alice) and the other a malicious one (referred…
Covert communication can prevent the adversary from knowing that a wireless transmission has occurred. In the additive white Gaussian noise channels, a square root law is obtained and the result shows that Alice can reliably and covertly…
In this paper, we design the first computationally efficient codes for simultaneously reliable and covert communication over Binary Symmetric Channels (BSCs). Our setting is as follows: a transmitter Alice wishes to potentially reliably…
The N-System with independent Poisson arrivals and exponential server-dependent service times under first come first served and assign to longest idle server policy has explicit steady state distribution. We scale the arrival and the number…
In this paper, we investigate joint information-theoretic security and covert communication on a network in the presence of a single transmitter (Alice), a friendly jammer, a single untrusted user, two legitimate users, and a single warden…
It is quite popular nowadays for researchers and data analysts holding different datasets to seek assistance from each other to enhance their modeling performance. We consider a scenario where different learners hold datasets with…
The paper considers a queueing system with limited processor sharing. No more than n jobs may be served simultaneously. This system may be used for modeling bandwidth sharing in wireless communication systems and processes of service in…
Multiserver-job systems, where jobs require concurrent service at many servers, occur widely in practice. Much is known in the dropping setting, where jobs are immediately discarded if they require more servers than are currently available.…
Network flow fingerprinting can be used to de-anonymize communications on anonymity systems such as Tor by linking the ingress and egress segments of anonymized connections. Assume Alice and Bob have access to the input and the output links…
We consider a general polling model with $N$ stations. The stations are served exhaustively and in cyclic order. Once a station queue falls empty, the server does not immediately switch to the next station. Rather, it waits at the station…
