Seeking Anonymity in an Internet Panopticon

Bryan Alexander Ford

Internet, users often need to assume, by default, that their every statement or action online is monitored and tracked. The Dissent project at Yale University takes a collective approach to online anonymity, based on different algorithmic foundations from ...

Security Analysis of Accountable Anonymity in Dissent

Bryan Alexander Ford, Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs

Users often wish to communicate anonymously on the Internet, for example in group discussion or instant messaging forums. Existing solutions are vulnerable to misbehaving users, however, who may abuse their anonymity to disrupt communication. Dining Crypto ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dissent: Accountable Group Anonymity

Bryan Alexander Ford, Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs

Users often wish to participate in online groups anonymously, but misbehaving users may abuse this anonymity to disrupt the group. Messaging protocols such as Mix-nets and DC-nets leave online groups vulnerable to denial-of-service and Sybil attacks, while ...

Live Streaming with Gossip

Maxime Monod

Peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures have emerged as a popular paradigm to support the dynamic and scalable nature of distributed systems. This is particularly relevant today, given the tremendous increase in the intensity of information exchanged over the Int ...

Silence-Based Communication

Christina Fragouli

Communication complexity---the minimum amount of communication required---of computing a function of data held by several parties is studied. A communication model where silence is used to convey information is introduced. For this model the worst-case and ...

Expanding the Size of Organometallic Nanostructures: A Hexanuclear (Cymene)Ru Cylinder with a Length of more than 3 nm

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin

Coordination cages based on organometallic half-sandwich complexes are of interest, because they can display unique structures and host properties. This communication describes the synthesis and structure of a cylindrical nanostructure containing six (p-cy ...

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 ...
