Hiding in the Mobile Crowd: Location Privacy through Collaboration

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Reza Shokri, Ehsan Kazemi, Georgios Theodorakopoulos

Location-aware smartphones support various location-based services (LBSs): users query the LBS server and learn on the fly about their surroundings. However, such queries give away private information, enabling the LBS to track users. We address this probl ...

Formal Analysis of Secure Neighbor Discovery in Wireless Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Marcin Poturalski

We develop a formal framework for the analysis of security protocols in wireless networks. The framework captures characteristics necessary to reason about neighbor discovery protocols, such as the neighbor relation, device location, and message propagatio ...

Method to secure gnss based locations in a device having gnss receiver

Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Aleksandar Jovanovic

A method to detect at a GNSS receiver whether the received GNSS signals and navigation messages are the product of an attack. If there is evidence, as provided by the method described here, that the received signals and messages originate from adversarial ...

On Secure and Precise IR-UWB Ranging

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Marcin Poturalski, Manuel Flury

To provide high ranging precision in multipath environments, a ranging protocol should find the first arriving path, rather than the strongest path. We demonstrate a new attack vector that disrupts such precise Time-of-Arrival (ToA) estimation, and allows ...

On the Performance of Secure Vehicular Communication Systems

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos

Vehicular communication (VC) systems are being developed primarily to enhance transportation safety and efficiency. Vehicle-to-vehicle communication, in particular, frequent cooperative awareness messages or safety beacons, has been considered over the pas ...

A mobile world of security

Rüdiger Urbanke, Christina Fragouli, Christine Neuberg, Panagiotis Papadimitratos

We propose a novel approach to establish crypto- graphic keys among mobile users and a networking infrastruc- ture. Our approach comes at a low cost and can either be used as an alternative to existing solutions or can be employed in a complementary way. O ...

Collaborative Location Privacy

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Reza Shokri, Georgios Theodorakopoulos

Location-aware smart phones support various location-based services (LBSs): users query the LBS server and learn on the fly about their surroundings. However, such queries give away private information, enabling the LBS to identify and track users. We addr ...

Distance Bounding with IEEE 802.15.4a: Attacks and Countermeasures

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Marcin Poturalski, Manuel Flury

Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband, in particular the recent standard IEEE 802.15.4a, is a primary candidate for implementing distance bounding protocols, thanks to its ability to perform accurate indoor ranging. Distance bounding protocols allow two wireless de ...

Design and Performance of Secure Geocast for Vehicular Communication

Panagiotis Papadimitratos

The characteristics of vehicular communication environments and their networking and application requirements have led to the development of unique networking protocols. They enable vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication based on th ...

A Randomized Countermeasure Against Parasitic Adversaries in Wireless Sensor Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Jun Luo

Due to their limited capabilities, wireless sensor nodes are subject to physical attacks that are hard to defend against. In this paper, we first identify a typical attacker, called parasitic adversary, who seeks to exploit sensor networks by obtaining mea ...
