相关论文: Understanding Information Hiding in iOS
While many studies have looked at privacy properties of the Android and Google Play app ecosystem, comparatively much less is known about iOS and the Apple App Store, the most widely used ecosystem in the US. At the same time, there is…
The Internet of Things and Services is a rapidly growing concept that illustrates that the ever increasing amount of physical items of our daily life which become addressable through a network could be made more easily manageable and usable…
Trusted Computing is a security base technology that will perhaps be ubiquitous in a few years in personal computers and mobile devices alike. Despite its neutrality with respect to applications, it has raised some privacy concerns. We show…
This is a comment on "RIO: Return Instruction Obfuscation for Bare-Metal IoT Devices with Binary Analysis". RIO prevents finding gadgets for Return-Oriented Programming attacks by encrypting return instructions. This paper shows flaws in…
The rapid rise of IoT and Big Data has facilitated copious data driven applications to enhance our quality of life. However, the omnipresent and all-encompassing nature of the data collection can generate privacy concerns. Hence, there is a…
To enable densely deployed base stations (BSs) or access points (APs) to serve an increasing number of users and provide diverse mobile services, we need to improve spectrum utilization in wireless communication networks. Although spectral…
Data privacy and data security are always on highest priority in the world. We need a reliable method to encrypt the data so that it reaches the destination safely. Encryption is a simple yet effective way to protect our data while…
Billions of secure messaging users have adopted end-to-end encryption (E2EE). Nevertheless, challenges remain. Most communication applications do not provide E2EE, and application silos prevent interoperability. Our qualitative analysis of…
The Privacy Coach is an application running on a mobile phone that supports customers in making privacy decisions when confronted with RFID tags. The approach we take to increase customer privacy is a radical departure from the mainstream…
Anonymous messaging platforms, such as Secret and Whisper, have emerged as important social media for sharing one's thoughts without the fear of being judged by friends, family, or the public. Further, such anonymous platforms are crucial…
The proliferation of smart home Internet of Things (IoT) devices presents unprecedented challenges for preserving privacy within the home. In this paper, we demonstrate that a passive network observer (e.g., an Internet service provider)…
Finder networks in general, and Apple's Find My network in particular, can pose a grave threat to users' privacy and even health if these networks are abused for stalking. Apple's release of the AirTag, a very affordable tracker covered by…
A conversational information retrieval (CIR) system is an information retrieval (IR) system with a conversational interface which allows users to interact with the system to seek information via multi-turn conversations of natural language,…
Since the 1990s, the telephone has been the primary mode of communication. However, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), which is a highly straightforward and affordable form of data transfer, is now becoming an important part of daily…
Edge-cloud collaborative inference empowers resource-limited IoT devices to support deep learning applications without disclosing their raw data to the cloud server, thus preserving privacy. Nevertheless, prior research has shown that…
Language models will inevitably err in situations with which they are unfamiliar. However, by effectively communicating uncertainties, they can still guide humans toward making sound decisions in those contexts. We demonstrate this idea by…
Cybersecurity has gained importance for cars that increasingly rely on software and networks. "Smartphone on wheels" is often used as an analogy to highlight the need for security. As a high-value target of cyberattacks, modern smartphones…
Being declarative, SQL stands a better chance at being the programming language for conceptual computing next to natural language programming. We examine the possibility of using SQL as a back-end for natural language database programming.…
Drawing inspiration from the advantages of intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) in wireless networks,this paper presents a novel design for intelligent omni surface (IOS) enabled integrated sensing and communications (ISAC). By harnessing…
What is your messaging data used for? While many users do not often think about the information companies can gather based off of their messaging platform of choice, it is nonetheless important to consider as society increasingly relies on…
