With the growing cyber-security threats, ensuring the security of data in Cloud data centers is a challenging task. A prominent type of attack on Cloud data centers is data tampering attack that can jeopardize the confidentiality and the…
Biometric recognition, or simply biometrics, is the use of biological attributes such as face, fingerprints or iris in order to recognize an individual in an automated manner. A key application of biometrics is authentication; i.e., using…
Digital identities are increasingly important for mediating not only digital but also physical service transactions. Managing such identities through centralized providers can cause both availability and privacy concerns: single points of…
Virtual clusters are widely used computing platforms than can be deployed in multiple cloud platforms. The ability to dynamically grow and shrink the number of nodes has paved the way for customised elastic computing both for High…
In a nutshell, "the cloud" refers to a collection of interconnected computing resources made possible by an extensive, real-time communication network like the internet. Because of its potential to reduce processing costs, the emerging…
Mixed Reality (MR) technologies are increasingly adopted by enterprises to enhance remote collaboration, enabling users to share real-time views of their physical environments through head-mounted displays (HMDs). While MR spatial sharing…
One of the main challenges in building a large scale publish-subscribe infrastructure in an enterprise network, is to provide the subscribers with the required information, while minimizing the consumed host and network resources.…
We propose a capability-based access control method that leverages OAuth 2.0 and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) to share resources in crowdsourced drone services. VCs securely encode claims about entities, offering flexibility. However,…
Private cloud infrastructures are now widely deployed and adopted across technology industries and research institutions. Although cloud computing has emerged as a reality, it is now known that a single cloud provider cannot fully satisfy…
This paper studies the current "identity crisis" caused by the substantial security, privacy and usability shortcomings encountered in existing systems for identity management. Some of these issues are well known, while others are much less…
The ability to enforce robust and dynamic access controls on cloud-hosted data while simultaneously ensuring confidentiality with respect to the cloud itself is a clear goal for many users and organizations. To this end, there has been much…
Cloud computing has been attracting the attention of several researchers both in the academia and the industry as it provides many opportunities for organizations by offering a range of computing services. For cloud computing to become…
One of the challenges currently problems in the use of cloud services is the task of designing of specialized data management systems. This is especially important for hybrid systems in which the data are located in public and private…
Edge computing has become increasingly popular across many domains and enterprises. However, given the locality constraint of edges (i.e., only close-by edges are useful), multiplexing diverse workloads becomes challenging. This results in…
Cloud-native systems represent a significant leap in constructing scalable, large systems, employing microservice architecture as a key element in developing distributed systems through self-contained components. However, the decentralized…
Cloud computing is revolutionizing many ecosystems by providing organizations with computing resources featuring easy deployment, connectivity, configuration, automation and scalability. This paradigm shift raises a broad range of security…
This paper presents a multi-platform, open-source application that aims to protect data stored and shared in existing cloud storage services. The access to the cryptographic material used to protect data is implemented using the…
Recent researches have shown that grid resources can be accessed by client on-demand, with the help of virtualization technology in the Cloud. The virtual machines hosted by the hypervisors are being utilized to build the grid network…
Owing to their cost-effectiveness and flexibility, cloud services have been the default choice for the deployment of innumerable software systems over the years. However, novel paradigms are beginning to emerge, as the cloud can't meet the…
In the last years, identity management solutions on blockchain were proposed as a possible solution to the digital identity management problem. However, they are still at an early stage and further research needs to be done to conclude…
