According to recent statistics, more than 1 zettabytes of data is moved over the Internet annually, which consumes several terawatt hours of electricity, and costs billions of US dollars to the world economy. HTTP protocol is used in the…
Modern low-latency anonymity systems, no matter whether constructed as an overlay or implemented at the network layer, offer limited security guarantees against traffic analysis. On the other hand, high-latency anonymity systems offer…
Content Delivery Networks (CDN) are witnessing the outburst of video streaming (e.g., personal live streaming or Video-on-Demand) where the video content, produced or accessed by mobile phones, must be quickly transferred from a point to…
Most of the existing models for deploying IoT ecosystem involves the vendor being in the loop of the command and control of IoT devices hence users' privacy and security is one of the main challenges. Despite these concerns, users are often…
Traffic for internet video streaming has been rapidly increasing and is further expected to increase with the higher definition videos and IoT applications, such as 360 degree videos and augmented virtual reality applications. While…
Current low-latency anonymity systems use complex overlay networks to conceal a user's IP address, introducing significant latency and network efficiency penalties compared to normal Internet usage. Rather than obfuscating network identity…
A VLAN is a logical connection that allows hosts to be grouped together in the same broadcast domain, so that packets are delivered only to ports that are combined to the same VLAN. We can improve wireless network performance and save…
Organizations increasingly need to collaborate by performing a computation on their combined dataset, while keeping their data hidden from each other. Certain kinds of collaboration, such as collaborative data analytics and AI, require a…
The emergence of low-power wide area networks (LPWANs) as a new agent in the Internet of Things (IoT) will result in the incorporation into the digital world of low-automated processes from a wide variety of sectors. The single-hop…
The number and variety of Internet-connected devices have grown enormously in the past few years, presenting new challenges to security and privacy. Research has shown that network adversaries can use traffic rate metadata from consumer IoT…
As an emerging service for in-browser content delivery, peer-assisted delivery network (PDN) is reported to offload up to 95\% of bandwidth consumption for video streaming, significantly reducing the cost incurred by traditional CDN…
We present a differentially private mechanism to display statistics (e.g., the moving average) of a stream of real valued observations where the bound on each observation is either too conservative or unknown in advance. This is…
Over 90% of new vehicles in the United States now collect and transmit telematics data. Similar trends are seen in other developed countries. Transportation planners have previously utilized telematics data in various forms, but its current…
Traffic engineering (TE) has become a crucial tool for enforcing routing policy and maintaining operational efficiency in large networks. Existing TE solutions pick an objective function to optimize, aiming to balance (i) allocating traffic…
A recent advance in networking is the deployment of path-aware multipath network architectures, where network endpoints are given multiple network paths to send their data on. In this work, we tackle the challenge of selecting paths for…
Resilience of most critical infrastructures against failure of elements that appear insignificant is usually taken for granted. The World Airline Network (WAN) is an infrastructure that reduces the geographical gap between societies, both…
The capability of mobile devices to use multiple interfaces to support a single session is becoming more prevalent. Prime examples include the desire to implement WiFi offloading and the introduction of 5G. Furthermore, an increasing…
Preserving privacy is an undeniable benefit to users online. However, this benefit (unfortunately) also extends to those who conduct cyber attacks and other types of malfeasance. In this work, we consider the scenario in which Privacy…
Outsourcing decision tree inference services to the cloud is highly beneficial, yet raises critical privacy concerns on the proprietary decision tree of the model provider and the private input data of the client. In this paper, we design,…
Internet of Things (IoT) devices and applications are generating and communicating vast quantities of data, and the rate of data collection is increasing rapidly. These high communication volumes are challenging for energy-constrained,…
