Physical-layer group secret-key (GSK) generation is an effective way of generating secret keys in wireless networks, wherein the nodes exploit inherent randomness in the wireless channels to generate group keys, which are subsequently…
Recent discovery of security attacks in advanced processors, known as Spectre and Meltdown, has resulted in high public alertness about security of hardware. The root cause of these attacks is information leakage across "covert channels"…
High-speed particle image velocimetry (PIV) was used to quantify the dispersion of aerosol-laden gas clouds generated during phonetic vocalization by a human subject at different sound intensity levels. The measured PIV data was used to…
Speaker verification has been widely and successfully adopted in many mission-critical areas for user identification. The training of speaker verification requires a large amount of data, therefore users usually need to adopt third-party…
Mobile devices have access to personal, potentially sensitive data, and there is a growing number of applications that transmit this personally identifiable information (PII) over the network. In this paper, we present the AntShield system…
Language models are defined over a finite set of inputs, which creates a vocabulary bottleneck when we attempt to scale the number of supported languages. Tackling this bottleneck results in a trade-off between what can be represented in…
Despite their immense popularity, deep learning-based acoustic systems are inherently vulnerable to adversarial attacks, wherein maliciously crafted audios trigger target systems to misbehave. In this paper, we present SirenAttack, a new…
Recent research has found that neural networks are vulnerable to several types of adversarial attacks, where the input samples are modified in such a way that the model produces a wrong prediction that misclassifies the adversarial sample.…
Eavesdropping on sounds emitted by mobile device loudspeakers can capture sensitive digital information, such as SMS verification codes, credit card numbers, and withdrawal passwords, which poses significant security risks. Existing schemes…
Music is an expression of our identity, showing a significant correlation with other personal traits, beliefs, and habits. If accessed by a malicious entity, an individual's music listening habits could be used to make critical inferences…
