Cloud deep learning platforms provide cost-effective deep neural network (DNN) training for customers who lack computation resources. However, cloud systems are often untrustworthy and vulnerable to attackers, leading to growing concerns…
Video anomaly detection has great potential in enhancing safety in the production and monitoring of crucial areas. Currently, most video anomaly detection methods are based on RGB modality, but its redundant semantic information may breach…
Network side channels (NSCs) leak secrets through packet timing and packet sizes. They are of particular concern in public IaaS Clouds, where any tenant may be able to colocate and indirectly observe a victim's traffic shape. We present…
This paper introduces an algorithm to protect the privacy of individuals in streaming video data by blurring faces such that face cannot be reliably recognized. This thwarts any possible face recognition, but because all facial details are…
As machine learning (ML) systems become increasingly widespread, it is necessary to audit these systems for biases prior to their deployment. Recent research has developed algorithms for effectively identifying intersectional bias in the…
In this paper, a video service enhancement strategy is investigated under an edge-cloud collaboration framework, where video caching and delivery decisions are made in the cloud and edge respectively. We aim to guarantee the user fairness…
Video analytics is widely used in contemporary systems and services. At the forefront of video analytics are video queries that users develop to find objects of particular interest. Building upon the insight that video objects (e.g., human,…
Confidential computing alleviates the concerns of distrustful customers by removing the cloud provider from their trusted computing base and resolves their disincentive to migrate their workloads to the cloud. This is facilitated by new…
Location-based services often require users to share sensitive locational data, raising privacy concerns due to potential misuse or exploitation by untrusted servers. In response, we present VeLoPIR, a versatile location-based private…
Video privacy leakage is becoming an increasingly severe public problem, especially in cloud-based video surveillance systems. It leads to the new need for secure cloud-based video applications, where the video is encrypted for privacy…
Video anomaly detection (VAD) without human monitoring is a complex computer vision task that can have a positive impact on society if implemented successfully. While recent advances have made significant progress in solving this task, most…
While it is compelling to process large streams of IoT data on the cloud edge, doing so exposes the data to a sophisticated, vulnerable software stack on the edge and hence security threats. To this end, we advocate isolating the data and…
Advanced facial recognition technologies and recommender systems with inadequate privacy technologies and policies for facial interactions increase concerns about bioprivacy violations. With the proliferation of video and live-streaming…
Eye-tracking technology is being increasingly integrated into mixed reality devices. Although critical applications are being enabled, there are significant possibilities for violating user privacy expectations. We show that there is an…
There is an urgent demand for privacy-preserving techniques capable of supporting compute and data intensive (CDI) computing in the era of big data. However, none of existing TEEs can truly support CDI computing tasks, as CDI requires high…
As an emerging technique for confidential computing, trusted execution environment (TEE) receives a lot of attention. To better develop, deploy, and run secure applications on a TEE platform such as Intel's SGX, both academic and industrial…
The widespread adoption of encryption in network protocols has significantly improved the overall security of many Internet applications. However, these protocols cannot prevent network side-channel leaks -- leaks of sensitive information…
Cloud computing provisions computer resources at a cost-effective way based on demand. Therefore it has become a viable solution for big data analytics and artificial intelligence which have been widely adopted in various domain science.…
There is an increasing trend for businesses to migrate their systems towards the cloud. Security concerns that arise when outsourcing data and computation to the cloud include data confidentiality and privacy. Given that a tremendous amount…
