Cloud computing is the technology that provides different types of services as a useful resource on the Internet. Resource trust value will help the cloud users to select the services of a cloud provider for processing and storing their…
In order to fully unlock the transformative power of distributed ledgers and blockchains, it is crucial to develop innovative consensus algorithms that can overcome the obstacles of security, scalability, and interoperability, which…
Edge computing processes data near its source, reducing latency and enhancing security compared to traditional cloud computing while providing its benefits. This paper explores edge computing for migrating an existing safety-critical…
Smart devices produce security-sensitive data and keep them in on-device storage for persistence. The current storage stack on smart devices, however, offers weak security guarantees: not only because the stack depends on a vulnerable…
Edge computing promises to reshape the centralized nature of today's cloud-based applications by bringing computing resources, at least in part, closer to the user. Reasons include the increasing need for real-time (short-delay,…
Duplication can be a powerful strategy for overcoming stragglers in cloud services, but is often used conservatively because of the risk of overloading the system. We present duplicate-aware scheduling or DAS, which makes duplication safe…
As privacy protection gains increasing importance, more models are being trained on edge devices and subsequently merged into the central server through Federated Learning (FL). However, current research overlooks the impact of network…
Cloud services have turned remote computation into a commodity and enable convenient online collaboration. However, they require that clients fully trust the service provider in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Towards…
Cloud computing platform gives people the opportunity for sharing resources, services and information among the people of the whole world. In private cloud system, information is shared among the persons who are in that cloud. Presently,…
A signcryption, which is an integration of a public key encryption and a digital signature, can provide confidentiality and authenticity simultaneously. Additionally, a signcryption associated with equality test allows a third party (e.g.,…
Blockchain technologies can enable secure computing environments among mistrusting parties. Permissioned blockchains are particularly enlightened by companies, enterprises, and government agencies due to their efficiency, customizability,…
Containerization has emerged as a revolutionary technology in the software development and deployment industry. Containers offer a portable and lightweight solution that allows for packaging applications and their dependencies…
A Kubernetes cluster typically consists of trusted nodes, running within the confines of a physically secure datacenter. With recent advances in edge orchestration, this is no longer the case. This poses a new challenge: how can we trust a…
We present a framework for performance optimization in serverless edge-cloud platforms using dynamic task placement. We focus on applications for smart edge devices, for example, smart cameras or speakers, that need to perform processing…
We propose LazyLedger, a design for distributed ledgers where the blockchain is optimised for solely ordering and guaranteeing the availability of transaction data. Responsibility for executing and validating transactions is shifted to only…
Enterprises increasingly rely on cloud-based applications to process highly sensitive data artifacts. Although cloud adoption improves agility and scalability, it also introduces new security challenges such as expanded attack surfaces, a…
We present sec-cs, a hash-table-like data structure for file contents on untrusted storage that is both secure and storage-efficient. We achieve authenticity and confidentiality with zero storage overhead using deterministic authenticated…
Deep Learning (DL) model-based AI services are increasingly offered in a variety of predictive analytics services such as computer vision, natural language processing, speech recognition. However, the quality of the DL models can degrade…
SAFE is a data-centric platform for building multi-domain networked systems, i.e., systems whose participants are controlled by different principals. Participants make trust decisions by issuing local queries over logic content exchanged in…
The growth of the Internet of Things has amplified the need for secure data interactions in cloud-edge ecosystems, where sensitive information is constantly processed across various system layers. Intrusion detection systems are commonly…
