Ransomware can produce direct and controllable economic loss, which makes it one of the most prominent threats in cyber security. As per the latest statistics, more than half of malwares reported in Q1 of 2017 are ransomware and there is a…
This paper investigates the secret key authentication capacity region. Specifically, the focus is on a model where a source must transmit information over an adversary controlled channel where the adversary, prior to the source's…
This article provides a tool for analyzing mechanisms that aim to achieve resilience against stealthy, or undetectable, attacks on cyber-physical systems (CPSs). We consider attackers who are able to corrupt all of the inputs and outputs of…
We describe scalable protocols for solving the secure multi-party computation (MPC) problem among a large number of parties. We consider both the synchronous and the asynchronous communication models. In the synchronous setting, our…
The main memory access latency has not much improved for more than two decades while the CPU performance had been exponentially increasing until recently. Approximate memory is a technique to reduce the DRAM access latency in return of…
Semi-supervised learning (SSL) has achieved remarkable performance with a small fraction of labeled data by leveraging vast amounts of unlabeled data from the Internet. However, this large pool of untrusted data is extremely vulnerable to…
This paper investigates the incremental-redundancy hybrid-automatic repeat request (IR-HARQ) transmission over independent block-fading channels in the presence of an eavesdropper, where the secrecy of the transmission is ensured via…
RowHammer vulnerabilities pose a significant threat to modern DRAM-based systems, where rapid activation of DRAM rows can induce bit-flips in neighboring rows. To mitigate this, state-of-the-art host-side RowHammer mitigations typically…
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are stealthy customized attacks by intelligent adversaries. This paper deals with the detection of APTs that infiltrate cyber systems and compromise specifically targeted data and/or infrastructures.…
In recent years, video analysis tools for automatically extracting meaningful information from videos are widely studied and deployed. Because most of them use deep neural networks which are computationally expensive, feeding only a subset…
This paper introduces a novel, fast atomic-snapshot protocol for asynchronous message-passing systems. In the process of defining what ``fast'' means exactly, we spot a few interesting issues that arise when conventional time metrics are…
Because of the open nature of the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), the Denial of the Service (DoS) becomes one of the most serious threats to the stability of the resourceconstrained sensor nodes. In this paper, we develop AccFlow which is…
Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol is an essential password-authenticated key exchange (PAKE) protocol based on the discrete logarithm problem (DLP). The protocol is specifically designed to obtain a session key and it has been widely…
Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC) can improve the security and privacy of data owners while allowing analysts to perform high quality analytics. Secure aggregation is a secure distributed mechanism to support federated deep learning…
The problem of data exchange involves a source schema, a target schema and a set of mappings from transforming the data between the two schemas. We study the problem of data exchange in the presence of privacy restrictions on the source.…
The use of passwords and the need to protect passwords are not going away. The majority of websites that require authentication continue to support password authentication. Even high-security applications such as Internet Banking portals,…
In recent years, numerous incidents involving the leakage of website accounts and text passwords (referred to as passwords) have raised significant concerns regarding the potential exposure of personal information. These events underscore…
Private information retrieval protocols guarantee that a user can privately and losslessly retrieve a single file from a database stored across multiple servers. In this work, we propose to simultaneously relax the conditions of perfect…
We propose a general statistical inference framework to capture the privacy threat incurred by a user that releases data to a passive but curious adversary, given utility constraints. We show that applying this general framework to the…
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is a provisional solution for Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security loopholes present in already widely deployed legacy 802.11 wireless devices. In this work, we model and analyse the computational…
