Corrigendum: EAST discharge prediction without integrating simulation results (vol 62, 126060, 2022)

Alessandro Pau

In the published paper titled 'EAST discharge prediction without integrating simulation results' (2022 Nucl. Fusion 62 126060), figure 5 used the wrong plot, and is not matched with table 3. We used the plot discussed with referees, the case when we do not ...

Analyzing and Protecting Communication Metadata

Ludovic Barman

Most communication systems (e.g., e-mails, instant messengers, VPNs) use encryption to prevent third parties from learning sensitive information. However, encrypted communications protect the contents but often leak metadata: the amount of data sent and th ...

MorphIT: Morphing Packet Reports for Internet Transparency

Bryan Alexander Ford, Aikaterini Argyraki, Georgia Fragkouli

Can we improve Internet transparency without worsening user anonymity? For a long time, researchers have been proposing transparency systems, where traffic reports produced at strategic network points help assess network behavior and verify service-level a ...

Atom: Horizontally Scaling Strong Anonymity

Bryan Alexander Ford, Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs

Atom is an anonymous messaging system that protects against traffic-analysis attacks. Unlike many prior systems, each Atom server touches only a small fraction of the total messages routed through the network. As a result, the system’s capacity scales near ...

PrivateRide: A Privacy-Enhanced Ride-Hailing Service

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Italo Ivan Dacosta Petrocelli, Florian Tramèr, Thi Van Anh Pham

In the past few years, we have witnessed a rise in the popularity of ride-hailing services (RHSs), an online marketplace that enables accredited drivers to use their own cars to drive ride-hailing users. Unlike other transportation services, RHSs raise sig ...

PriFi: A Low-Latency and Tracking-Resistant Protocol for Local-Area Anonymous Communication

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Bryan Alexander Ford, Mahdi Zamani, Italo Ivan Dacosta Petrocelli, Ludovic Barman

Popular anonymity mechanisms such as Tor provide low communication latency but are vulnerable to traffic analysis attacks that can de-anonymize users. Moreover, known traffic-analysis-resistant techniques such as Dissent are impractical for use in latency- ...

A Bayesian Approach to Detect Pedestrian Destination-Sequences from WiFi Signatures

Michel Bierlaire, Bilal Farooq, Antonin Danalet

In this paper, we propose a methodology to use the communication network infrastructure, in particular WiFi traces, to detect the sequence of activity episodes visited by pedestrians. Due to the poor quality of WiFi localization, a probabilistic method is ...

The Generalized Loneliness Detector and Weak System Models for k-Set Agreement

Martin Biely

This paper presents two weak partially synchronous system models Manti(n-k) and Msink(n-k), which are just strong enough for solving k-set agreement: We introduce the generalized (n-k)-loneliness failure detector L(k), which we first prove to be sufficient ...

SpeakUp – A Mobile App Facilitating Audience Interaction

Adrian Christian Holzer, Andrii Vozniuk, Sten Govaerts

A dynamic student-teacher interaction during class is an important part of the learning experience. However, in regular class settings and especially in large classrooms, it is a challenging task to encourage students to participate as they tend to be inti ...

Privacy and Dynamics of Social Networks

Pedram Pedarsani

Over the past decade, investigations in different fields have focused on studying and understanding real networks, ranging from biological to social to technological. These networks, called complex networks, exhibit common topological features, such as a h ...

Dissent in Numbers: Making Strong Anonymity Scale

Bryan Alexander Ford, Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs

Current anonymous communication systems make a trade-off between weak anonymity among many nodes, via onion routing, and strong anonymity among few nodes, via DC-nets. We develop novel techniques in Dissent, a practical group anonymity system, to increase ...

On the Privacy of Anonymized Networks

Matthias Grossglauser, Pedram Pedarsani

The proliferation of online social networks, and the concomitant accumulation of user data, give rise to hotly debated issues of privacy, security, and control. One specific challenge is the sharing or public release of anonymized data without accidentally ...

Self-Organized Anonymous Authentication in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Julien Freudiger

Pervasive communications bring along new privacy challenges, fueled by the capability of mobile devices to communicate with, and thus "sniff on", each other directly. We design a new mechanism that aims at achieving location privacy in these forthcoming mo ...

Consensus and collision detectors in radio networks

Seth Gilbert

We consider the fault-tolerant consensus problem in radio networks with crash-prone nodes. Specifically, we develop lower bounds and matching upper bounds for this problem in single-hop radios networks, where all nodes are located within broadcast range of ...

What Can Be Implemented Anonymously?

Rachid Guerraoui

The vast majority of papers on distributed computing assume that processes are assigned unique identifiers before computation begins. But is this assumption necessary? What if processes do not have unique identifiers or do not wish to divulge them for reas ...
