The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to improve user utility by tuning applications to user behavior, but revealing the characteristics of a user's behavior presents a significant privacy risk. Our previous work has established the…
Oblivious transfer is a powerful cryptographic primitive that is complete for secure multi-party computation. In oblivious transfer protocols a user sends one or more messages to a receiver, while the sender remains oblivious as to which…
With the increasing popularity of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, securing sensitive user data has emerged as a major challenge. These devices often collect confidential information, such as audio and visual data, through peripheral…
On-line privacy is of major public concern. Unfortunately, for the average consumer, there is no simple mechanism to browse the Internet privately on multiple devices. Most available Internet privacy mechanisms are either expensive, not…
We present the first protocol for the anonymous transmission of a quantum state that is information-theoretically secure against an active adversary, without any assumption on the number of corrupt participants. The anonymity of the sender…
Anonymity platforms route the traffic over a network of special routers that are known as mixes and implement various traffic disruption techniques to hide the communicating users' identities. Batch mixes in particular anonymize…
In this article, we present Ariadne, a privacy-preserving communication network layer protocol that uses a source routing approach to avoid relying on trusted third parties. In Ariadne, a source node willing to send anonymized network…
The growing reliance on large-scale speech data has made privacy protection a critical concern. However, existing anonymization approaches often degrade data utility, for example by disrupting acoustic continuity or reducing vocal…
Unlike suggested during their early years of existence, Bitcoin and similar cryptocurrencies in fact offer significantly less privacy as compared to traditional banking. A myriad of privacy-enhancing extensions to those cryptocurrencies as…
System logs constitute valuable information for analysis and diagnosis of system behavior. The size of parallel computing systems and the number of their components steadily increase. The volume of generated logs by the system is in…
Secure digital wireless communication underwater has become a key issue as maritime operations shift towards employing a heterogeneous mix of robotic assets and as the security of digital systems becomes challenged across all domains. At…
We show how group discounts can be offered without forcing buyers to surrender their anonymity, as long as buyers can use their own computing devices (e.g. smartphone, tablet or computer) to perform a purchase. Specifically, we present a…
In this paper, we analyze the security of an RFID authentication protocol proposed by Liu and Bailey [1], called Privacy and Authentication Protocol (PAP), and show its vulnerabilities and faulty assumptions. PAP is a privacy and…
Quantum Private Comparison (QPC) allows us to protect private information during its comparison. In the past various three-party quantum protocols have been proposed that claim to work well under noisy conditions. Here we tackle the problem…
In distributed problems where consensus between agents is required but average consensus is not desired, it can be necessary for each agent to know not only the data of each other agent in the network, but also the origin of each piece of…
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…
Prevailing user authentication schemes on smartphones rely on explicit user interaction, where a user types in a passcode or presents a biometric cue such as face, fingerprint, or iris. In addition to being cumbersome and obtrusive to the…
Voice assistants like Siri enable us to control IoT devices conveniently with voice commands, however, they also provide new attack opportunities for adversaries. Previous papers attack voice assistants with obfuscated voice commands by…
Speaker anonymization aims to conceal a speaker's identity without degrading speech quality and intelligibility. Most speaker anonymization systems disentangle the speaker representation from the original speech and achieve anonymization by…
Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) are designed to protect the privacy and integrity of data in use. They enable secure data processing and sharing in peer-to-peer networks, such as vehicular ad hoc networks of autonomous vehicles,…
