Cellular networks are not merely data access networks to the Internet. Their distinct services and ability to form large complex compounds for roaming purposes make them an attractive research target in their own right. Their promise of…

We investigate the use of maximum distance separable (MDS) codes to cache popular content to reduce the download delay of wireless content delivery. In particular, we consider a cellular system where devices roam in an out of a cell…

This paper proposes PolyProtect, a method for protecting the sensitive face embeddings that are used to represent people's faces in neural-network-based face verification systems. PolyProtect transforms a face embedding to a more secure…

The increasing proliferation of digital and mobile devices equipped with cameras, microphones, GPS, and other privacy invasive components has raised significant concerns for businesses operating in sensitive or policy restricted…

An increasing amount of mobility data is being collected every day by different means, e.g., by mobile phone operators. This data is sometimes published after the application of simple anonymization techniques, which might lead to severe…

The upcoming Sixth Generation (6G) network is projected to grapple with a range of security concerns, encompassing access control, authentication, secure connections among 6G Core (6GC) entities, and trustworthiness. Classical Virtual…

Remote mobile and embedded devices are used to deliver increasingly impactful services, such as medical rehabilitation and assistive technologies. Secure system logging is beneficial in these scenarios to aid audit and forensic…

Being more powerful and intrusive into user-device interactions, LLMs are eager for on-device execution to better preserve user privacy. In this work, we propose a new paradigm of mobile AI: LLM as a system service on mobile devices…

Embedded devices are ubiquitous. However, preliminary evidence shows that attack mitigations protecting our desktops/servers/phones are missing in embedded devices, posing a significant threat to embedded security. To this end, this paper…

In this paper, we argue that current work has failed to provide a comprehensive and maintainable in-memory representation for persistent memory. PM data should be easily mappable into a process address space, shareable across processes,…

Embedded systems are parts of our daily life and used in many fields. They can be found in smartphones or in modern cars including GPS, light/rain sensors and other electronic assistance mechanisms. These systems may handle sensitive data…

Monocular 3D object detection (Mono3D) in mobile settings (e.g., on a vehicle, a drone, or a robot) is an important yet challenging task. Due to the near-far disparity phenomenon of monocular vision and the ever-changing camera pose, it is…

Despite the attempts of well-designed anonymous communication tools to protect users from tracking or identification, flaws in surrounding software (such as web browsers) and mistakes in configuration may leak the user's identity. We…

This paper presents an architecture, based on Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) and Decentralized File Storage (DFS) systems, to support the use of Personal Information Management Systems (PIMS). DLT and DFS are used to manage data…

All mobile devices are energy-constrained. They use batteries that allows using the device for a limited amount of time. In general, energy attacks on mobile devices are denial of service (DoS) type of attacks. While previous studies have…

Human memory is inherently prone to forgetting. To address this, multimodal embedding models have been introduced, which transform diverse real-world data into a unified embedding space. These embeddings can be retrieved efficiently, aiding…

Content caching at small-cell base stations (SBSs) is a promising method to mitigate the excessive backhaul load and delay, particularly for on-demand video streaming applications. A cache-enabled heterogeneous cellular network architecture…

Mobile and embedded machine learning developers frequently have to compromise between two inferior on-device deployment strategies: sacrifice accuracy and aggressively shrink their models to run on dedicated low-power cores; or sacrifice…

The growing popularity of smart mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets has made them an attractive target for cyber-criminals, resulting in a rapidly growing and evolving mobile threat as attackers experiment with new business…

Camouflaged object detection (COD) aims to segment camouflaged objects hiding in the environment, which is challenging due to the similar appearance of camouflaged objects and their surroundings. Research in biology suggests depth can…
