In our proposed work we mainly focus on data security of tenants so that only the authorized user can access the data. To provide this feature we use encryption and decryption process of data so that the only legal tenant can access their…
Nowadays, Linux file systems have to manage millions of tiny files for different applications, and face with higher metadata operations. So how to provide such high metadata performance with such enormous number of files and large scale…
Decentralized data storage systems like the Interplanetary Filesystem (IPFS) are becoming increasingly popular, e. g., as a data layer in blockchain applications and for sharing content in a censorship-resistant manner. In IPFS, data is…
This paper presents an architecture, based on Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) and Decentralized File Storage (DFS) systems, to support the use of Personal Information Management Systems (PIMS). DLT and DFS are used to manage data…
NeXus is a joint effort of both the synchrotron and neutron scattering community to devlop a common data exchange format based on HDF. In order to simplify access to NeXus-files a NeXus-API is provided. This NeXus-API has been redesigned…
Authcoin is an alternative approach to the commonly used public key infrastructures such as central authorities and the PGP web of trust. It combines a challenge response-based validation and authentication process for domains,…
The Userfault Object (UFO) framework explores avenues of cooperating with the operating system to use memory in non-traditional ways. We implement a framework that employs the Linux kernel's userfault mechanism to fill the contents of…
The widespread deployment of control-flow integrity has propelled non-control data attacks into the mainstream. In the domain of OS kernel exploits, by corrupting critical non-control data, local attackers can directly gain root access or…
Federated learning (FL) enables multiple clients to jointly train a global model under the coordination of a central server. Although FL is a privacy-aware paradigm, where raw data sharing is not required, recent studies have shown that FL…
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a standardised interface between the firmware and the operating system used in all x86-based platforms over the past ten years. A side effect of the transition from conventional BIOS…
Despite the de-facto technological uniformity fostered by the cloud and edge computing paradigms, resource fragmentation across isolated clusters hinders the dynamism in application placement, leading to suboptimal performance and…
We introduce NebulOS, a Big Data platform that allows a cluster of Linux machines to be treated as a single computer. With NebulOS, the process of writing a massively parallel program for a datacenter is no more complicated than writing a…
Self-hosted cloud storage platforms like Nextcloud are gaining popularity among individuals and organizations seeking greater control over their data. However, this shift introduces new challenges for digital forensic investigations,…
E-governance is a process that aims to enhance a government's ability to simplify all the processes that may involve government, citizens, businesses, and so on. The rapid evolution of digital technologies has often created the necessity…
Modern operating systems manage and abstract hardware resources, to ensure efficient execution of user workloads. The operating system must securely interface with often untrusted user code while relying on hardware that is assumed to be…
We notice a way to execute a binary file on Windows and ELF-based systems. It can be used to create software installers and other applications not exceeding 64 kilo bytes.
Most existing solutions for protecting VMs assume known attack patterns or signatures and focus on detecting malicious manipulations of system files and kernel level memory structures. In this research we develop a system called ferify,…
In scientific computing, more computational power generally implies faster and possibly more detailed results. The goal of this study was to develop a framework to submit computational jobs to powerful workstations underused by nonintensive…
Disaggregating resources in data centers is an emerging trend. Recent work has begun to explore memory disaggregation, but suffers limitations including lack of consideration of the complexity of cloud-based deployment, including…
We present CleanQ, a high-performance operating-system interface for descriptor-based data transfer with rigorous formal semantics, based on a simple, formally-verified notion of ownership transfer, with a fast reference implementation.…
