Push notifications are brief messages that users frequently encounter in their daily lives. However, the volume of notifications can lead to information overload, making it challenging for users to engage effectively. This study…

To what extent user's stance towards a given topic could be inferred? Most of the studies on stance detection have focused on analysing user's posts on a given topic to predict the stance. However, the stance in social media can be inferred…

Several IoT applications are tightly dependent on the locations of the devices. However, localization algorithms can be easily compromised by injecting false locations. In this paper, we propose a Blockchain-based secure localization…

Increasing sources of sensor measurements and prior knowledge have become available for indoor localization on smartphones. How to effectively utilize these sources for enhancing localization accuracy is an important yet challenging…

As location-based applications become ubiquitous in emerging wireless networks, Location Verification Systems (LVS) are of growing importance. In this paper we propose, for the first time, a rigorous information-theoretic framework for an…

Cyber security incidents are increasing and humans play an important role in reducing their likelihood and impact. We identify a skewed focus towards technical aspects of cyber security in the literature, whereas factors influencing the…

Before deploying a new user authentication scheme, it is critical to subject the scheme to comprehensive study. Few works, however, have undertaken such a study. Recently, Thorpe et al. proposed GeoPass, the most promising of a class of…

Application markets provide a communication channel between app developers and their end-users in form of app reviews, which allow users to provide feedback about the apps. Although security and privacy in mobile apps are one of the biggest…

Devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) are rapidly becoming ubiquitous across modern homes, workplaces, and other social environments. While these devices provide users with extensive functionality, they pose significant privacy…

Web services are becoming business-critical components, often deployed with critical software bugs that can be maliciously explored. Web vulnerability scanners allow the detection of security vulnerabilities in web services by stressing the…

Geo-tags from micro-blog posts have been shown to be useful in many data mining applications. This work seeks to find out if the location type derived from these geo-tags can benefit input methods, which attempts to predict the next word a…

Experts agree that keeping systems up to date is a powerful security measure. Previous work found that users sometimes explicitly refrain from performing timely updates, e.g., due to bad experiences which has a negative impact on end-user…

In today's world, Web applications play a very important role in individual life as well as in any country's development. Web applications have gone through a very rapid growth in the recent years and their adoption is moving faster than…

The use of passwords and the need to protect passwords are not going away. The majority of websites that require authentication continue to support password authentication. Even high-security applications such as Internet Banking portals,…

Phishing in mobile applications is a relevant threat with successful attacks reported in the wild. In such attacks, malicious mobile applications masquerade as legitimate ones to steal user credentials. In this paper we categorize…

Location-based Services (LBSs) provide valuable services, with convenient features for users. However, the information disclosed through each request harms user privacy. This is a concern particularly with honest-but-curious LBS servers,…

Recommender systems in location based social networks mainly take advantage of social and geographical influence in making personalized Points-of-interest (POI) recommendations. The social influence is obtained from social network friends…

Like many desktop operating systems in the 1990s, Android is now in the process of including support for multi-user scenarios. Because these scenarios introduce new threats to the system, we should have an understanding of how well the…

Sensitive inferences and user re-identification are major threats to privacy when raw sensor data from wearable or portable devices are shared with cloud-assisted applications. To mitigate these threats, we propose mechanisms to transform…

With the growth of the internet, the number of fake-news online has been proliferating every year. The consequences of such phenomena are manifold, ranging from lousy decision-making process to bullying and violence episodes. Therefore,…
