The ability to enforce robust and dynamic access controls on cloud-hosted data while simultaneously ensuring confidentiality with respect to the cloud itself is a clear goal for many users and organizations. To this end, there has been much…

Numerous IoT applications, like building automation or process control of industrial sites, exist today. These applications inherently have a strong connection to the physical world. Hence, IT security threats cannot only cause problems…

Distributed communities of researchers rely increasingly on valuable, proprietary, or sensitive datasets. Given the growth of such data, especially in fields new to data-driven, computationally intensive research like the social sciences…

Runtime verification is checking whether a system execution satisfies or violates a given correctness property. A procedure that automatically, and typically on the fly, verifies conformance of the system's behavior to the specified…

Cloud computing systems fail in complex and unforeseen ways due to unexpected combinations of events and interactions among hardware and software components. These failures are especially problematic when they are silent, i.e., not…

Accountability is widely understood as a goal for well governed computer systems, and is a sought-after value in many governance contexts. But how can it be achieved? Recent work on standards for governable artificial intelligence systems…

Cloud-based infrastructures have become the dominant platform for deploying large models, particularly large language models (LLMs). Fine-tuning and inference are increasingly delegated to cloud providers for simplified deployment and…

Cloud computing allows shared computer and storage facilities to be used by a multitude of clients. While cloud management is centralized, the information resides in the cloud and information sharing can be implemented via off-the-shelf…

This paper presents an efficient risk management model for unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs. Our proposed risk management establishes a cyclic model with a continuous and iterative structure that is very adaptable to agile methods and all…

Information security is one of the most important aspects of technology, we cannot protect the best interests of our organizations' assets (be that personnel, data, or other resources), without ensuring that these assetsare protected to the…

Cloud-native systems represent a significant leap in constructing scalable, large systems, employing microservice architecture as a key element in developing distributed systems through self-contained components. However, the decentralized…

Trusted Computing is a security base technology that will perhaps be ubiquitous in a few years in personal computers and mobile devices alike. Despite its neutrality with respect to applications, it has raised some privacy concerns. We show…

Sharing data from various sources and of diverse kinds, and fusing them together for sophisticated analytics and mash-up applications are emerging trends, and are prerequisites for grand visions such as that of cyber-physical systems…

The enabling of scientific experiments that are embarrassingly parallel, long running and data-intensive into a cloud-based execution environment is a desirable, though complex undertaking for many researchers. The management of such…

The Internet of Things describes a network of physical devices interacting and producing vast streams of sensor data. At present there are a number of general challenges which exist while developing solutions for use cases involving the…

Data tampering is often considered a severe problem in industrial applications as it can lead to inaccurate financial reports or even a corporate security crisis. A correct representation of data is essential for companies' core business…

Decentralized applications rely on non-centralized technical infrastructures and coordination principles. Without trusted third parties, their execution is not controlled by entities exercising centralized coordination but is instead…

During the past few years, we have witnessed various efforts to provide confidentiality and integrity for applications running in untrusted environments such as public clouds. In most of these approaches, hardware extensions such as Intel…

In concurrent and distributed systems, software components are expected to communicate according to predetermined protocols and APIs - and if a component does not observe them, the system's reliability is compromised. Furthermore, isolating…

In order to determine the user's trust is a growing concern for ensuring privacy and security in a cloud computing environment. In cloud, user's data is stored in one or more remote server(s) which poses more security challenges for the…
