Location-based alerts have gained increasing popularity in recent years, whether in the context of healthcare (e.g., COVID-19 contact tracing), marketing (e.g., location-based advertising), or public safety. However, serious privacy…
We consider membership inference attacks, one of the main privacy issues in machine learning. These recently developed attacks have been proven successful in determining, with confidence better than a random guess, whether a given sample…
In this paper, we present a comprehensive architecture for confidential computing, which we show to be general purpose and quite efficient. It executes the application as is, without any added burden or discipline requirements from the…
Generally, privacy-enhancing face recognition systems are designed to offer permanent protection of face embeddings. Recently, so-called soft-biometric privacy-enhancement approaches have been introduced with the aim of canceling…
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a new computing paradigm that enables cloud computing and information technology (IT) services to be delivered at the network's edge. By shifting the load of cloud computing to individual local servers, MEC…
We live in a period where bio-informatics is rapidly expanding, a significant quantity of genomic data has been produced as a result of the advancement of high-throughput genome sequencing technology, raising concerns about the costs…
Searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) has been used to protect the confidentiality of genomic data while providing substring search and range queries on a sequence of genomic data, but it has not been studied for protecting single…
Sharing genome data in a privacy-preserving way stands as a major bottleneck in front of the scientific progress promised by the big data era in genomics. A community-driven protocol named genomic data-sharing beacon protocol has been…
Electronic voting systems must balance public verifiability with voter privacy and coercion resistance. Existing cryptographic protocols typically achieve end-to-end verifiability by revealing vote distributions, relying on trusted clients,…
Cloud-based enterprise search services (e.g., AWS Kendra) have been entrancing big data owners by offering convenient and real-time search solutions to them. However, the problem is that individuals and organizations possessing confidential…
Outsourcing encrypted data to the cloud creates a fundamental tension between data privacy and functional searchability. Current Searchable Symmetric Encryption (SSE) solutions frequently have significant limitations, such as excessive…
Over the last decade, the use of Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) systems has become increasingly widespread in response to the growing need for secure and efficient identity verification methods. The voice data encompasses a wealth of…
DNA fingerprinting is a cornerstone for human identification in forensics, where the sequence of highly polymorphic short tandem repeats (STRs) from an individual is compared against a DNA database. This presents significant privacy risks…
Applying differential privacy at scale requires convenient ways to check that programs computing with sensitive data appropriately preserve privacy. We propose here a fully automated framework for {\em testing} differential privacy,…
Edge caching (EC) decreases the average access delay of the end-users through caching popular content at the edge network, however, it increases the leakage probability of valuable information such as users preferences. Most of the existing…
The cloud computing technique, which was initially used to mitigate the explosive growth of data, has been required to take both data privacy and users' query functionality into consideration. Symmetric searchable encryption (SSE) is a…
The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into medical diagnostics has raised pressing concerns about patient privacy, especially when sensitive imaging data must be transferred, stored, or processed. In this paper, we propose a…
As more sensitive data is shared and stored by third-party sites on the internet, there will be a need to encrypt data stored at these sites. One drawback of encrypting data is that it can be selectively shared only at a coarse-grained…
Deep Neural Network (DNN) Inference in Edge Computing, often called Edge Intelligence, requires solutions to insure that sensitive data confidentiality and intellectual property are not revealed in the process. Privacy-preserving Edge…
Poisoning attacks are a category of adversarial machine learning threats in which an adversary attempts to subvert the outcome of the machine learning systems by injecting crafted data into training data set, thus increasing the machine…
