The explosive growth of vehicle amount has given rise to a series of traffic problems, such as traffic congestion, road safety, and fuel waste. Collecting vehicles' speed information is an effective way to monitor the traffic condition and…
The architectures of deployed anonymity systems such as Tor suffer from two key problems that limit user's trust in these systems. First, paths for anonymous communication are built without considering trust relationships between users and…
Paths in a given network are a generalised form of time-serial chains in many real-world applications, such as trajectories and Internet flows. Differentially private trajectory publishing concerns publishing path information that is usable…
Pandemic and epidemic diseases such as CoVID-19, SARS-CoV2, and Ebola have spread to multiple countries and infected thousands of people. Such diseases spread mainly through person-to-person contacts. Health care authorities recommend…
Mobile cloud computing has been adopted in many multimedia applications, where the resource-constrained mobile device sends multimedia data (e.g., images) to remote cloud servers to request computation-intensive multimedia services (e.g.,…
We propose a practical methodology to protect a user's private data, when he wishes to publicly release data that is correlated with his private data, in the hope of getting some utility. Our approach relies on a general statistical…
Publishing trajectory data (individual's movement information) is very useful, but it also raises privacy concerns. To handle the privacy concern, in this paper, we apply differential privacy, the standard technique for data privacy,…
Cloud platform came into existence primarily to accelerate IT delivery and to promote innovation. To this point, it has performed largely well to the expectations of technologists, businesses and customers. The service aspect of this…
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…
Successful containment of the Coronavirus pandemic rests on the ability to quickly and reliably identify those who have been in close proximity to a contagious individual. Existing tools for doing so rely on the collection of exact location…
The emergence of deep neural networks capable of revealing high-fidelity scene details from sparse 3D point clouds has raised significant privacy concerns in visual localization involving private maps. Lifting map points to randomly…
The ubiquity of mobile devices has led to the proliferation of mobile services that provide personalized and context-aware content to their users. Modern mobile services are distributed between end-devices, such as smartphones, and remote…
Digital contact tracing is one of the actions useful, in combination with other measures, to manage an epidemic diffusion of an infection disease in an after-lock-down phase. This is a very timely issue, due to the pandemic of COVID-19 we…
Information about people's movements and the locations they visit enables an increasing number of mobility analytics applications, e.g., in the context of urban and transportation planning, In this setting, rather than collecting or sharing…
New operating systems for mobile devices allow their users to download millions of applications created by various individual programmers, some of which may be malicious or flawed. In order to detect that an application is malicious,…
The prevalence of ubiquitous location-aware devices and mobile Internet enables us to collect massive individual-level trajectory dataset from users. Such trajectory big data bring new opportunities to human mobility research but also raise…
The location-based services provide an interesting combination of cyber and physical worlds. However, they can also threaten the users' privacy. Existing privacy preserving protocols require trusted nodes, with serious security and…
A critical requirement for modern-day Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is the ability to collect geo-referenced data from connected vehicles and mobile devices in a safe, secure and anonymous way. The Nexagon protocol, which builds…
Criminals are increasingly using mobile based communication applications, like WhatsApp, that have end-to-end encryption to connect to each other. This makes traditional analysis of call graphs, or traffic analysis, virtually impossible and…
As nowadays most web application requests originate from mobile devices, authentication of mobile users is essential in terms of security considerations. To this end, recent approaches rely on machine learning techniques to analyze various…
