The DNS infrastructure is infamous for facilitating reflective amplification attacks. Various countermeasures such as server shielding, access control, rate limiting, and protocol restrictions have been implemented. Still, the threat…
The Domain Name System (DNS) does not provide query privacy. Query obfuscation schemes have been proposed to overcome this limitation, but, so far, they have not been evaluated in a realistic setting. In this paper we evaluate the security…
As Lightning network payments are neither broadcasted nor publicly stored. Thus LN has been seen not only as scalability but also as privacy solution for Bitcoin. The protocol guarantees that only the latest channel state can be confirmed…
DNS is a basic Internet service which almost all other user services depend on. However, what has been perceived in practice are a lot of inconsistencies and errors in the configuration of servers that cause different problems. The majority…
With the pervasive network based services in smart homes, traditional network management cannot guarantee end-user quality-of-experience (QoE) for all applications. End-user QoE must be supported by efficient network quality-of-service…
In the current Internet, there is no clean way for affected parties to react to poor forwarding performance: when a domain violates its Service Level Agreement (SLA) with a contractual partner, the partner must resort to ad-hoc…
Although the Domain Name System (DNS) was designed as a naming system, its features have made it appealing to repurpose it for the deployment of novel systems. One important class of such systems are security enhancements, and this work…
Confidential services running in hardware-protected Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) can provide higher security assurance, but this requires custom clients and protocols to distribute, update, and verify their attestation evidence.…
In the presence of security countermeasures, a malware designed for data exfiltration must do so using a covert channel to achieve its goal. Among existing covert channels stands the domain name system (DNS) protocol. Although the detection…
In this study, we compare the performance of the new-generation communication protocol Zenoh with the widely-used MQTT, Kafka, and DDS. Two performance indexes were evaluated, including throughput and latency. A brief description of each…
Efficient service discovery is a cornerstone of the rapidly expanding Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing ecosystems, where low latency and localized service provisioning are critical. This paper proposes a novel location-based DNS…
In this paper, we investigate the transmission latency of the secure aggregation problem in a \emph{wireless} federated learning system with multiple curious servers. We propose a privacy-preserving coded aggregation scheme where the…
Anecdotal evidence suggests an increasing number of people are turning to VPN services for the properties of privacy, anonymity and free communication over the internet. Despite this, there is little research into what these services are…
Since GNU/Linux became a popular operating system on computer network routers, its packet routing mechanisms attracted more interest. This does not only concern 'big' Linux servers acting as a router but more and more small and medium…
Data is the central asset of today's dynamically operating organization and their business. This data is usually stored in database. A major consideration is applied on the security of that data from the unauthorized access and intruders.…
5G brings many improvements to cellular networks in terms of performance, such as lower latency, improved network efficiency, and higher throughput, making it an attractive candidate for many applications. One such domain is industrial…
The Domain Name System (DNS) provides a translation between readable domain names and IP addresses. The DNS is a key infrastructure component of the Internet and a prime target for a variety of attacks. One of the most significant threat to…
The current Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure faces critical vulnerabilities including poisoning attacks, censorship mechanisms, and centralized points of failure that compromise internet freedom and security. Recent incidents such as…
The DNS root server system uses Anycast technology to provide resolution through widely distributed root nodes. In recent years, the F-root node has seen astonishing growth and now boasts the largest number of nodes among the 13 root…
Named Data networking ensure data integrity so that every important data has to be signed by its owner in order to send it safely inside the network. Similarly, in NDN we have to assure that none could open the data except authorized users.…
