Device identification is one way to secure a network of IoT devices, whereby devices identified as suspicious can subsequently be isolated from a network. In this study, we present a machine learning-based method, IoTDevID, that recognizes…
Internet of Things (IoT) has brought along immense benefits to our daily lives encompassing a diverse range of application domains that we regularly interact with, ranging from healthcare automation to transport and smart environments.…
Detecting whether a target crosses the given zone (e.g., a door) can enable various practical applications in smart homes, including intelligent security and people counting. The traditional infrared-based approach only covers a line and…
Consumer Internet of Things (IoT) devices often leverage the local network to communicate with the corresponding companion app or other devices. This has benefits in terms of efficiency since it offloads the cloud. ENISA and NIST security…
Users trust IoT apps to control and automate their smart devices. These apps necessarily have access to sensitive data to implement their functionality. However, users lack visibility into how their sensitive data is used (or leaked), and…
On-body devices are an intrinsic part of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) vision to provide human-centric services. These on-body IoT devices are largely embedded devices that lack a sophisticated user interface to facilitate traditional…
This paper proposes a resource-aware allocation model for layered intrusion detection in het erogeneous networks. Monitoring traffic at higher protocol layers improves the ability to detect sophisticated attacks, but it also increases…
Internet of Things (IoT) devices have grown in popularity since they can directly interact with the real world. Home automation systems automate these interactions. IoT events are crucial to these systems' decision-making but are often…
Semi-device-independent quantum protocols realize information tasks - e.g. secure key distribution, random access coding, and randomness generation - in a scenario where no assumption on the internal working of the devices used in the…
Sleep deprivation is a public health concern that significantly impacts one's well-being and performance. Sleep is an intimate experience, and state-of-the-art sleep monitoring solutions are highly-personalized to individual users. With a…

Bluetooth is a pervasive wireless communication technology used by billions of devices for short-range connectivity. The security of Bluetooth relies on the pairing process, where devices establish shared long-term keys for secure…
Protocol detection is the process of determining the application layer protocol in the context of network security monitoring, which requires a timely and precise decision to enable protocol-specific deep packet inspection. This task has…
Cross-domain intrusion detection remains a critical challenge due to significant variability in network traffic characteristics and feature distributions across environments. This study evaluates the transferability of three widely used…
Mobile apps frequently use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and WiFi scanning permissions to discover nearby devices like peripherals and connect to WiFi Access Points (APs). However, wireless interfaces also serve as a covert proxy for…
As a massive number of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices are deployed, the security and privacy issues in IoT arouse more and more attention. The IoT attacks are causing tremendous loss to the IoT networks and even threatening human…
Ensuring privacy during inference stage is crucial to prevent malicious third parties from reconstructing users' private inputs from outputs of public models. Despite a large body of literature on privacy preserving learning (which ensures…
The growing adoption of voice-enabled devices (e.g., smart speakers), particularly in smart home environments, has introduced many security vulnerabilities that pose significant threats to users' privacy and safety. When multiple devices…
It is well known that apps running on mobile devices extensively track and leak users' personally identifiable information (PII); however, these users have little visibility into PII leaked through the network traffic generated by their…
This paper proposes passive WiFi indoor localization. Instead of using WiFi signals received by mobile devices as fingerprints, we use signals received by routers to locate the mobile carrier. Consequently, software installation on the…
