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…
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have emerged as a key technology for next generation wireless broadband networks showing rapid progress and inspiring numerous compelling applications. A WMN comprises of a set of mesh routers (MRs) and mesh…
User privacy can be compromised by matching user data traces to records of their previous behavior. The matching of the statistical characteristics of traces to prior user behavior has been widely studied. However, an adversary can also…
Along with the benefits of Internet of Things (IoT) come potential privacy risks, since billions of the connected devices are granted permission to track information about their users and communicate it to other parties over the Internet.…
Wireless medium access control (MAC) and routing protocols are fundamental building blocks of the Internet of Things (IoT). As new IoT networking standards are being proposed and different existing solutions patched, evaluating the…
The sharing of network traces is an important prerequisite for the development and evaluation of efficient anomaly detection mechanisms. Unfortunately, privacy concerns and data protection laws prevent network operators from sharing these…
The abundance of data collected by sensors in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and the success of deep neural networks in uncovering hidden patterns in time series data have led to mounting privacy concerns. This is because private and…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems enhance large language models (LLMs) by incorporating external knowledge bases, but this may expose them to extraction attacks, leading to potential copyright and privacy risks. However, existing…
Implicit authentication consists of a server authenticating a user based on the user's usage profile, instead of/in addition to relying on something the user explicitly knows (passwords, private keys, etc.). While implicit authentication…
Public wireless access points are commonly provided by governments, businesses, schools and other organizations and provide access to the Internet for numerous use cases and can present varying degrees of risk to users. While there are…
As the rapid proliferation of on-body Internet of Things (IoT) devices, their security vulnerabilities have raised serious privacy and safety issues. Traditional efforts to secure these devices against impersonation attacks mainly rely on…
In criminal investigations, telecommunication wiretaps have become a common technique used by law enforcement. While phone-based wiretapping is well documented and the procedure for their execution are well known, the same cannot be said…
This paper considers the security issue of the fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks with massive connections, where multiple eavesdroppers aim to intercept the confidential messages through active eavesdropping. To realize secure massive…
Device logs are essential for forensic investigations, enterprise monitoring, and fraud detection; however, they often leak personally identifiable information (PII) when exported for third-party analysis. Existing approaches either fail to…
Internet-of-Everything (IoE) has gradually been recognized as an integral part of future wireless networks. In IoE, there can be an ultra-massive number of smart devices of various types to be served, imposing multi-dimensional requirements…
Major search engines deploy personalized Web results to enhance users' experience, by showing them data supposed to be relevant to their interests. Even if this process may bring benefits to users while browsing, it also raises concerns on…
Massive random access plays a central role in supporting the Internet of Things (IoT), where a subset of a large population of users simultaneously transmit small packets to a central base station. While there has been much research on the…
Consumer Internet of Things (IoT) devices are increasingly common, from smart speakers to security cameras, in homes. Along with their benefits come potential privacy and security threats. To limit these threats a number of commercial…
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are self-configuring infrastructure-less networks comprised of mobile nodes that communicate over wireless links without any central control on a peer-to-peer basis. These individual nodes act as routers to…
Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE) is a Google product that reports aggregate statistics about human mobility, including various methods of transit used by people across roughly 50,000 regions globally. These statistics are used to…
