Security and confidentiality of big data stored in the cloud are important concerns for many organizations to adopt cloud services. One common approach to address the concerns is client-side encryption where data is encrypted on the client…
As the reliance on GPS technology for navigation grows, so does the ethical dilemma of balancing its indispensable utility with the escalating concerns over user privacy. This study investigates the trade-offs between GPS utility and…
The development of positioning technologies has resulted in an increasing amount of mobility data being available. While bringing a lot of convenience to people's life, such availability also raises serious concerns about privacy. In this…
The prevalence of location-based services contributes to the explosive growth of individual-level trajectory data and raises public concerns about privacy issues. In this research, we propose a novel LSTM-TrajGAN approach, which is an…
With the increasing amount of mobility data being collected on a daily basis by location-based services (LBSs) comes a new range of threats for users, related to the over-sharing of their location information. To deal with this issue,…
Over the past few years, traffic congestion has continuously plagued the nation's transportation system creating several negative impacts including longer travel times, increased pollution rates, and higher collision risks. To overcome…
Offloading high-demanding applications to the edge provides better quality of experience (QoE) for users with limited hardware devices. However, to maintain a competitive QoE, infrastructure, and service providers must adapt to users'…
Trilateration is one of the well-known threat models to the user's location privacy in location-based apps, especially those contain highly sensitive information such as dating apps. The threat model mainly bases on the publicly shown…
Recent proposals in multicast overlay construction have demonstrated the importance of exploiting underlying network topology. However, these topology-aware proposals often rely on incremental and periodic refinements to improve the system…
Mobile technologies are growing significantly in past few years. Many new features and enhancement have implemented in mobile technologies in both software and hardware aspects. Nowadays, cell phones are not just only use for making calls…
Keyword-based web queries with local intent retrieve web content that is relevant to supplied keywords and that represent points of interest that are near the query location. Two broad categories of such queries exist. The first encompasses…
In recent years, it has become easy to obtain location information quite precisely. However, the acquisition of such information has risks such as individual identification and leakage of sensitive information, so it is necessary to protect…
Urban transportation is being transformed by mobility-on-demand (MoD) systems. One of the goals of MoD systems is to provide personalized transportation services to passengers. This process is facilitated by a centralized operator that…
The proliferation of cloud computing has greatly spurred the popularity of outsourced database storage and management, in which the cloud holding outsourced databases can process database queries on demand. Among others, skyline queries…
Blockchain technology with its secure, transparent and decentralized nature has been recently employed in many mobile applications. However, the mining process in mobile blockchain requires high computational and storage capability of…
Proximity-based social applications let users interact with people that are currently close to them, by revealing some information about their preferences and whereabouts. This information is acquired through passive geo-localisation and…
The tremendous technological advancement in the last few decades has brought many enterprises to collaborate in a better way while making intelligent decisions. The use of Information Technology tools in obtaining data of people's everyday…
Physical layer security (PLS) is a potential solution for secure and reliable transmissions in future Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications (URLLC). This work jointly optimizes redundant bits and blocklength allocation in practical…
Network slicing is considered a key enabler to 5th Generation (5G) communication networks. Mobile network operators may deploy network slices -- complete logical networks customized for specific services expecting a certain Quality of…
With the rapid development of mobile computing technology, massive amounts of spatial data are continuously generated from various mobile terminals and sensing devices, such as smartphones, connected vehicles, and drones. Performing…
