Given the importance of privacy, many Internet protocols are nowadays designed with privacy in mind (e.g., using TLS for confidentiality). Foreseeing all privacy issues at the time of protocol design is, however, challenging and may become…
Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) is fundamental for the reliable, low-latency networks that will enable the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Wi-Fi has historically been considered unfit for TSN, as channel contention and collisions…
In distributed systems with processes that do not share a global clock, \emph{partial synchrony} is achieved by clock synchronization that guarantees bounded clock skew among all applications. Existing solutions for distributed runtime…
This paper focuses on the multi-agent synchronization problem with an open-loop unstable leader and followers under the switching topologies. For this issue, the typical approach is intermittent communication (including a spanning tree…
While network coding can be an efficient means of information dissemination in networks, it is highly susceptible to "pollution attacks," as the injection of even a single erroneous packet has the potential to corrupt each and every packet…
We present a synchronization algorithm to let nodes in a sensor network simultaneously execute a task at a given point in time. In contrast to other time synchronization algorithms we do not provide a global time basis that is shared on all…
Time awareness is critical to a broad range of emerging applications -- in Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things -- running on commodity platforms and operating systems. Traditionally, time is synchronized across devices through a…

Traffic analysis in Multi-hop Wireless Networks can expose the structure of the network allowing attackers to focus their efforts on critical nodes. For example, jamming the only data sink in a sensor network can cripple the network. We…
Timing attacks are considered one of the most damaging side-channel attacks. These attacks exploit timing fluctuations caused by certain operations to disclose confidential information to an attacker. For instance, in asymmetric encryption,…
Time synchronization is a vital concern for any Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) to perform dynamic spectrum management. Each Cognitive Radio (CR) node has to be environment aware and self adaptive and must have the ability to switch between…
Each time that an intrusion detection system raises an alert it must make some attempt to communicate the information to an operator. This communication channel can easily become the target of a denial of service attack because, like all…
Clocks are a central part of many computing paradigms, and are mainly used to synchronise the delicate operation of switching, necessary to drive modern computational processes. Unfortunately, this synchronisation process is reaching a…
