In recent years, electronic retail payment mechanisms, especially e-commerce and card payments at the point of sale, have increasingly replaced cash in many developed countries. As a result, societies are losing a critical public retail…

In collaborative recommendation systems, privacy may be compromised, as users' opinions are used to generate recommendations for others. In this paper, we consider an online collaborative recommendation system, and we measure users' privacy…

We propose a protocol based on mechanism design theory and encrypted control to solve average consensus problems among rational and strategic agents while preserving their privacy. The proposed protocol provides a mechanism that…

In this paper, we propose a protocol that preserves (statistical) privacy of agents' costs in peer-to-peer distributed optimization against a passive adversary that corrupts certain number of agents in the network. The proposed protocol…

A group authentication protocol authenticates pre-defined groups of individuals such that: - No individual is identified - No knowledge of which groups can be successfully authenticated is known to the verifier - No sensitive data is…

With privacy-preserving and traceability properties, group signature is a cryptosystem with central role in cryptography. And there are lots of application scenarios. A new extension concept of group signature is presented, namely group…

The amount of personal data collected in our everyday interactions with connected devices offers great opportunities for innovative services fueled by machine learning, as well as raises serious concerns for the privacy of individuals. In…

We propose a quantum key distribution protocol with quantum based user authentication. Our protocol is the first one in which users can authenticate each other without previously shared secret and then securely distribute a key where the…

A personal data market is a platform including three participants: data owners (individuals), data buyers and market maker. Data owners who provide personal data are compensated according to their privacy loss. Data buyers can submit a…

This paper studies how to implement a privacy friendly form of ticketing for public transport in practice. The protocols described are inspired by current (privacy invasive) public transport ticketing systems used around the world. The…

Cloud computing has been a dominant paradigm for a variety of information processing platforms, particularly for enabling various popular applications of sharing economy. However, there is a major concern regarding data privacy on these…

Intelligence is one of the most important aspects in the development of our future communities. Ranging from smart home, smart building, to smart city, all these smart infrastructures must be supported by intelligent power supply. Smart…

A family of existing protocols for quantum sealed-bid auction is critically analyzed, and it is shown that they are vulnerable under several attacks (e.g., the participant's and non-participant's attacks as well as the collusion attack of…

Anonymous voting is a voting method of hiding the link between a vote and a voter, the context of which ranges from governmental elections to decision making in small groups like councils or companies. In this paper, we propose a quantum…

We show how third-party web trackers can deanonymize users of cryptocurrencies. We present two distinct but complementary attacks. On most shopping websites, third party trackers receive information about user purchases for purposes of…

This paper proposes a zone-based privacy-preserving billing protocol for local energy markets that takes into account energy volume deviations of market participants from their bids. Our protocol incorporates participants' locations on the…

Social Media involve many shared items, such as photos, which may concern more than one user. The first challenge we address in this paper is to develop a way for users of such items to take a decision on to whom to share these items. This…

Protecting secrets is a key challenge in our contemporary information-based era. In common situations, however, revealing secrets appears unavoidable, for instance, when identifying oneself in a bank to retrieve money. In turn, this may…

This paper addresses the challenge of achieving private and resilient average consensus among a group of discrete-time networked agents without compromising accuracy. State-of-the-art solutions to attain privacy and resilient consensus…

Verifying the quality of a random number generator involves performing computationally intensive statistical tests on large data sets commonly in the range of gigabytes. Limitations on computing power can restrict an end-user's ability to…
