In the era of big data, anonymity is recognized as an important attribute in privacy-preserving communications. The existing anonymous authentication and routing are applied at higher layers of networks, ignoring physical layer (PHY) also…
Many smartphone apps transmit personally identifiable information (PII), often without the users knowledge. To address this issue, we present PrivacyProxy, a system that monitors outbound network traffic and generates app-specific…
Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and Voice over NR (VoNR) are two similar technologies that have been widely deployed by operators to provide a better calling experience in LTE and 5G networks, respectively. The VoLTE/NR protocols rely on the…
Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems have emerged as a promising solution to improve spectrum efficiency and enable functional convergence. However, ensuring secure information transmission while maintaining high-quality…
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) serves multiple users simultaneously via the same resource block by exploiting superposition coding at the transmitter and successive interference cancellation (SIC) at the receivers. Under practical…
Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), as a new and promising identity management paradigm, needs mechanisms that can ease a gradual transition of existing services and developers towards it. Systems that bridge the gap between SSI and established…
Several contact tracing solutions have been proposed and implemented all around the globe to combat the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. But, most of these solutions endanger the privacy rights of the individuals and hinder their widespread…
With the deep integration of facial recognition into online banking, identity verification, and other networked services, achieving effective decoupling of identity information from visual representations during image storage and…
The classification of fifth-generation New-Radio (5G-NR) mobile network traffic is an emerging topic in the field of telecommunications. It can be utilized for quality of service (QoS) management and dynamic resource allocation. However,…
Pseudonyms are widely used in Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) to protect the location privacy of vehicles. However, the unlinkability nature of pseudonyms also enables Sybil attacks, where a malicious vehicle can pretend…
Spoken language understanding (SLU), one of the key enabling technologies for human-computer interaction in IoT devices, provides an easy-to-use user interface. Human speech can contain a lot of user-sensitive information, such as gender,…
Neural networks are susceptible to privacy attacks that can extract private information of the training set. To cope, several training algorithms guarantee differential privacy (DP) by adding noise to their computation. However, DP requires…
This paper investigates the ongoing use of the A5/1 ciphering algorithm within 2G GSM networks. Despite its known vulnerabilities and the gradual phasing out of GSM technology by some operators, GSM security remains relevant due to…
With the introduction of large-scale network data, including population-scale social networks, techniques for privacy-aware sharing of network data become increasingly important. While existing $k$-anonymity approaches can model different…
The ability of modern telecommunication systems to locate users and objects in the radio environment raises justified privacy concerns. To prevent unauthorized localization, single-antenna transmitters can obfuscate the signal by convolving…
The Pliable Index CODing (PICOD) problem is a variant of the Index Coding (IC) problem, where the desired messages by the users, who are equipped with message side information, is part of the optimization. This paper studies the PICOD…
The emergence of smart grids and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) has revolutionized energy management. Unlike traditional power grids, smart grids benefit from two-way communication through AMI, which surpasses earlier automated…
The USB protocol has become a ubiquitous standard for connecting peripherals to computers, making its security a critical concern. A recent research study demonstrated the potential to exploit weaknesses in well-established protocols, such…
Vulnerable individuals have a limited ability to make reasonable financial decisions and choices and, thus, the level of care that is appropriate to be provided to them by financial institutions may be different from that required for other…
