Securing Broadcast Against Dishonest Receivers

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, László Czap, Vinod Malathidevi Prabhakaran

Consider a sender, Alice, who wants to transmit private messages to two receivers, Bob and Calvin, using unreliable wireless broadcast transmissions and short public feedback from Bob and Calvin. In [1], we assumed that Bob and Calvin provide honest feedba ...

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 ...

Byzantine Agreement with Homonyms

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Eric Ruppert

So far, the distributed computing community has either assumed that all the processes of a distributed system have distinct identifiers or, more rarely, that the processes are anonymous and have no identifiers. These are two extremes of the same general mo ...

Convergent Message-Passing Algorithms in the Presence of Erasures

Nicholas Ruozzi

We examine how to design convergent and correct message-passing schemes, similar to the min-sum algorithm, for maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation in the case that the messages passed between two nodes of the network may never be delivered. The proposed ...

Socio-Technical Network Analysis from Wearable Interactions

Rémi Emonet, Katayoun Farrahi

complexity and computational social sciences. This paper draws from explicit (phone calls, SMS messaging) and implicit (proximity sensing based on Bluetooth radio signals) interaction patterns collected via smartphones and reality mining techniques to expl ...

Untrusting network coding

Ghid Maatouk, Christina Fragouli, Vinod Malathidevi Prabhakaran, Yasin Buyukalp

In networks that perform linear network coding, an intermediate network node may receive a much larger number of linear equations of the source symbols than the number of messages it needs to send. For networks constructed by untrusted nodes, we propose a ...

Degraded two-message multicast over graphs

Christina Fragouli, Shirin Saeedi Bidokhti

We consider communication of two degraded mes- sage sets over graphs where a common source sends two prioritized messages (a common and a private message) to several receivers. All receivers require the common message and a subset of the receivers require ...
