We propose CFS, a distributed file system for large scale container platforms. CFS supports both sequential and random file accesses with optimized storage for both large files and small files, and adopts different replication protocols for…
We propose a filtering feature selection framework that considers subsets of features as paths in a graph, where a node is a feature and an edge indicates pairwise (customizable) relations among features, dealing with relevance and…
This paper proposes PenTiDef, a fully decentralized, privacy-preserving, and poisoning-resilient framework for decentralized federated IDS (DFL-IDS). PenTiDef synergistically integrates three key components: (i) client-side Distributed…
Safeguarding online communications using public key cryptography is a well-established practice today, but with the increasing reliance on `faceless', solely online entities one of the core aspects of public key cryptography is becoming a…
Nowadays, every organization might be attacked through its network printers. The malicious exploitation of printing protocols is a dangerous and underestimated threat against every printer today, as highlighted by recent published…
Overlay management is the cornerstone of building robust and dependable Peer-to-Peer systems. A key component for building such overlays is the peer-sampling service, a mechanism that continuously supplies each node with a set of up-to-date…
Ransomware represents a pervasive threat, traditionally countered at the operating system, file-system, or network levels. However, these approaches often introduce significant overhead and remain susceptible to circumvention by attackers.…
Blockchain is a growing decentralized system built for transparency and immutability. There have been several major attacks on blockchain-based systems, leaving a gap in the trustability of this system. This article presents a comprehensive…
Despite significant research and engineering efforts, many of today's important computer systems suffer from bugs. To increase the reliability of software systems, recent work has applied formal verification to certify the correctness of…
We address the problem of securing distributed storage systems against eavesdropping and adversarial attacks. An important aspect of these systems is node failures over time, necessitating, thus, a repair mechanism in order to maintain a…
The massive trend toward embedded systems introduces new security threats to prevent. Malicious firmware makes it easier to launch cyberattacks against embedded systems. Systems infected with malicious firmware maintain the appearance of…
Hardening data protection using multiple methods rather than 'just' encryption is of paramount importance when considering continuous and powerful attacks in order to observe, steal, alter, or even destroy private and confidential…
Storing big data directly on a blockchain poses a substantial burden due to the need to maintain a consistent ledger across all nodes. Numerous studies in decentralized storage systems have been conducted to tackle this particular…
Background. In modern software development, the use of external libraries and packages is increasingly prevalent, streamlining the software development process and enabling developers to deploy feature-rich systems with little coding. While…
Virtualization provides an abstraction layer for the Internet of Things technology to tackle the heterogeneity of the edge networks. It enables the deployment of an application on devices with different architectures to achieve uniformity.…
Current content filtering and blocking methods are susceptible to various circumvention techniques and are relatively slow in dealing with new threats. This is due to these methods using shallow pattern recognition that is based on regular…
Bitcoin is an immutable permissionless blockchain system that has been extensively used as a public bulletin board by many different applications that heavily relies on its immutability. However, Bitcoin's immutability is not without its…
The security trade confidentiality, integrity and availability are the main pillar of the information systems as every organization emphasize of the security. From last few decades, digital data is the main asset for every digital or…
Advances in technology have enabled tremendous progress in the development of a highly connected ecosystem of ubiquitous computing devices collectively called the Internet of Things (IoT). Ensuring the security of IoT devices is a high…
The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) storage built on Kademlia, a Distributed Hash Table (DHT) structure commonly used in P2P systems and known for its proved scalability. However, DHTs susceptible to…
