Rapidly verifiable aggregate signatures

Rachid Guerraoui, Manuel José Ribeiro Vidigueira, Matteo Monti, Gauthier Jérôme Timothée Voron, Martina Camaioni, Pierre-Louis Blaise Roman

A method for aggregating digital signatures comprises the following steps carried out by a signature aggregator: receiving first data packages from signers, each first data package comprising a signer identifier, a payload, and a payload signature; verifyi ...

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 ...

The emotional entanglements of smartphones "in the field": on social positioning, power relations, and research ethics

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Darshan Santani

Despite human geographers’ growing recognition of the need to explore how digital technologies are increasingly co‐producing geographies, the methodological implications of such forms of data production are rarely discussed. This paper explores how smartph ...

ClaimChain: Improving the Security and Privacy of In-band Key Distribution for Messaging

Carmela González Troncoso, Wouter Lueks, Bogdan Kulynych

The social demand for email end-to-end encryption is barely supported by mainstream service providers. Autocrypt is a new community -driven open specification for e-mail encryption that attempts to respond to this demand. In Autocrypt the encryption keys a ...

Template Induction over Unstructured Email Corpora

Julia Proskurnia

Unsupervised template induction over email data is a central component in applications such as information extraction, document classification, and auto-reply. The benefits of automatically generating such templates are known for structured data, e.g. mach ...

Profiling, Modelling and Facilitating Online Activism

Julia Proskurnia

The extensive and successful use of social media has enhanced and empowered a variety of movements all over the world in a way that is hard to achieve through conventional means. This has led to numerous studies that leverage online social data to describe ...

On the use of client identity information for face anti-spoofing

André Anjos, Ivana Chingovska

With biometrics playing the role of a password which can not be replaced if stolen, the necessity of establishing counter- measures to biometric spoofing attacks has been recognized. Regardless of the biometric mode, the typical approach of anti-spoofing s ...

Isolates, channels, and event streams for composable distributed programming

Martin Odersky, Aleksandar Prokopec

The actor model has been a model of choice for building reliable distributed systems. On one hand, it ensures that message-processing is serialized within each actor, preserving the familiar sequential programming model. On the other hand, programs written ...

The impact of study load on the dynamics of longitudinal email communications among students

Beat Adrian Schwendimann

With the advent of information technology, emails have gained wide acceptability among students as an asynchronous communication tool. According to the current pedagogy literature the overall trend of the use of email communication by university students h ...

Hang With Your Buddies to Resist Intersection Attacks

Bryan Alexander Ford

Some anonymity schemes, such as DC-nets and MIX cascades, can guarantee anonymity even against traffic analysis – provided messages are independent and unlinkable. Users in practice often desire pseudonymity – sending messages intentionally linkable to eac ...

Automatic Skin Enhancement with Visible and Near-Infrared Image Fusion

Sabine Süsstrunk

Skin tones, portraits in particular, are of critical importance in photography and video, but a number of factors, such as pigmentation irregularities (e.g., moles, freckles), irritation, roughness, or wrinkles can reduce their appeal. Moreover, such “defe ...

EZ-Flow: Removing Turbulence in IEEE 802.11 Wireless Mesh Networks without Message Passing

Patrick Thiran, Alexandre Fawal, Adel Aziz

Recent analytical and experimental work demonstrate that IEEE 802.11-based wireless mesh networks are prone to turbulence. Manifestations of such turbulence take the form of large buffer build-up at relay nodes, end-to-end delay fluctuations, and traffic c ...

Resolving FP-TP Conflict in Digest-Based Collaborative Spam Detection by Use of Negative Selection Algorithm

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

A well-known approach for collaborative spam filtering is to determine which emails belong to the same bulk, e.g. by exploiting their content similarity. This allows, after observing an initial portion of a bulk, for the bulkiness scores to be assigned to ...

Artificial Immune System For Collaborative Spam Filtering

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

Artificial immune systems (AIS) use the concepts and algorithms inspired by the theory of how the human immune system works. This document presents the design and initial evaluation of a new artificial immune system for collaborative spam filtering. Collab ...

Improving Digest-Based Collaborative Spam Detection

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

Spam is usually sent in bulk. A bulk mailing consists of many copies of the same original spam message, each sent to a different recipient. The copies are usually obfuscated, i.e. modified a bit in order to look different from each other. In collaborative ...

Artificial immune system for the Internet

We investigate the usability of the Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) approach for solving selected problems in computer networks. Artificial immune systems are created by using the concepts and algorithms inspired by the theory of how the Human Immune Syste ...

Cryptanalysis of e-mail protocols providing perfect forward secrecy

Recently, two e-mail protocols were proposed claiming to provide perfect secrecy. These protocols use authentication and (Diffie-Hellman) key-exchange techniques, and as such, other standard security criteria besides perfect forward secrecy include key-rep ...

AntispamLab - A Tool for Realistic Evaluation of Email Spam Filters

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

The existing tools for testing spam filters evaluate a filter instance by simply feeding it with a stream of emails, possibly also providing a feedback to the filter about the correctness of the detection. In such a scenario the evaluated filter is disconn ...

Enforcing email addresses privacy using tokens

Serge Vaudenay

We propose a system which allows users to monitor how their email addresses are used and how they spread over the Internet. This protects the privacy of the user and can reduce the spam phenomenon. Our solution does not require changes to the email infrast ...
