This paper considers the problem of single-server single-message private information retrieval with coded side information (PIR-CSI). In this problem, there is a server storing a database, and a user which knows a linear combination of a…
We introduce a new information theoretic measure that we call Public Information Complexity (PIC), as a tool for the study of multi-party computation protocols, and of quantities such as their communication complexity, or the amount of…
Data breaches and cyberattacks represent a severe problem in higher education institutions and universities that can result in illegal access to sensitive information and data loss. To enhance the security of data transmission, Intrusion…
The ability of a peer-to-peer (P2P) system to effectively host decentralized applications often relies on the availability of a peer-sampling service, which provides each participant with a random sample of other peers. Despite the…
Secure aggregation is a popular protocol in privacy-preserving federated learning, which allows model aggregation without revealing the individual models in the clear. On the other hand, conventional secure aggregation protocols incur a…
Despite encryption, the packet size is still visible, enabling observers to infer private information in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment (e.g., IoT device identification). Packet padding obfuscates packet-length characteristics…
Computer systems are facing biggest threat in the form of malicious data which causing denial of service, information theft, financial and credibility loss etc. No defense technique has been proved successful in handling these threats.…
In recent years, an increasing amount of data is collected in different and often, not cooperative, databases. The problem of privacy-preserving, distributed calculations over separated databases and, a relative to it, issue of private data…
Managing interference in a network of macrocells underlaid with femtocells presents an important, yet challenging problem. A majority of spatial (frequency/time) reuse based approaches partition the users based on coloring the interference…
Privacy-preserving geometric intersection (PGI) is an important issue in Secure multiparty computation (SMC). The existing quantum PGI protocols are mainly based on grid coding, which requires a lot of computational complexity. The…
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted technological measures to control the spread of the disease. Private contact tracing (PCT) is one of the promising techniques for the purpose. However, the recently proposed Bluetooth-based PCT has several…
We present a parallel implementation of a direct solver for the Poisson's equation on extreme-scale supercomputers with accelerators. We introduce a chunked-pencil decomposition as the domain-decomposition strategy to distribute work among…
Data streams produced by mobile devices, such as smartphones, offer highly valuable sources of information to build ubiquitous services. Such data streams are generally uploaded and centralized to be processed by third parties, potentially…
A key performance metric in blockchains is the latency between when a transaction is broadcast and when it is confirmed (the so-called, confirmation latency). While improvements in consensus techniques can lead to lower confirmation…
Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a foundational programming model for high-performance computing. MPI libraries traditionally employ network interconnects (e.g., Ethernet and InfiniBand) and network protocols (e.g., TCP and RoCE) with…
Motivated by an open problem and a conjecture, this work studies the problem of single server private information retrieval with private coded side information (PIR-PCSI) that was recently introduced by Heidarzadeh et al. The goal of…
Device-independent (DI) quantum secret sharing (QSS) can relax the security assumptions about the devices' internal workings and provide QSS the highest level of security in theory. The original DI QSS protocol proved its correctness and…
Large scale decentralized systems, such as P2P, sensor or IoT device networks are becoming increasingly common, and require robust protocols to address the challenges posed by the distribution of data and the large number of peers belonging…
We consider a fully-decentralized scenario in which no central trusted entity exists and all clients are honest-but-curious. The state-of-the-art approaches to this problem often rely on cryptographic protocols, such as multiparty…
Passive operating system fingerprinting reveals valuable information to the defenders of heterogeneous private networks; at the same time, attackers can use fingerprinting to reconnoiter networks, so defenders need obfuscation techniques to…
