Upcoming WiFi-based localization systems for indoor environments face a conflict of privacy interests: Server-side localization violates location privacy of the users, while localization on the user's device forces the localization provider…
Private information retrieval (PIR) considers the problem of retrieving a data item from a database or distributed storage system without disclosing any information about which data item was retrieved. Secure PIR complements this problem by…
Socially-aware networking is an emerging paradigm for intermittently connected networks consisting of mobile users with social relationships and characteristics. In this setting, humans are the main carriers of mobile devices. Hence, their…
Process executions in organizations generate a large variety of data. Process mining is a data-driven analytical approach for analyzing this data from a business process point of view. Online conformance checking deals with finding…
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is an emerging meta-surface that can provide additional communications links through reflecting the signals, and has been recognized as a strong candidate of 6G mobile communications systems.…
6G will be characterized by extreme use cases, not only for communication, but also for localization, and sensing. The use cases can be directly mapped to requirements in terms of standard key performance indicators (KPIs), such as data…
The Internet comprises tens of thousands of autonomous systems (ASes) whose commercial relationships are not publicly announced. The classification of the Type of Relationship (ToR) between ASes has been extensively studied over the past…
This paper is focused on privacy issues related to the prefix part of IPv6 addresses. Long-lived prefixes may introduce additional tracking opportunities for communication partners and third parties. We outline a number of prefix alteration…
Effective water resource management is crucial in agricultural regions like northeastern Thailand, where limited water retention in sandy soils poses significant challenges. In response to this issue, the Aerial Image Water Resource (AIWR)…
Multi-modal search engines have experienced significant growth and widespread use in recent years, making them the second most common internet use. While search engine systems offer a range of services, the image search field has recently…
Location information is often used as a proxy to infer the performance of a wireless communication link. Using a very simple model, this letter unveils a basic statistical relation between the location estimation uncertainty and wireless…
The cyber terrain contains devices, network services, cyber personas, and other network entities involved in network operations. Designing a method that automatically identifies key network entities to network operations is challenging.…
Privacy and Fairness both are very important nowadays. For most of the cases in the online service providing system, users have to share their personal information with the organizations. In return, the clients not only demand a high…
Next-generation IoT applications increasingly span across autonomous administrative entities, necessitating silo-cooperative scheduling to leverage diverse computational resources while preserving data privacy. However, realizing efficient…
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is globally used by Autonomous Systems (ASes) to establish route paths for IP prefixes in the Internet. Due to the lack of authentication in BGP, an AS can hijack IP prefixes owned by other ASes (i.e.,…
Precise clock synchronization protocols are increasingly used to ensure that all the nodes in a network share the very same time base. They enable several mechanisms aimed at improving determinism at both the application and communication…
Geolocation plays a critical role in understanding the Internet. In this work, we provide an in-depth analysis of operator-misreported geolocation. Using a bandwidth-efficient methodology, we find in May 2024 that only a small percentage…
Radio maps that describe spatial variations in wireless signal strength are widely used to optimize networks and support aerial platforms. Their construction requires location-labeled signal measurements from distributed users, raising…
