Distributed Momentum for Byzantine-resilient Stochastic Gradient Descent

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Sébastien Louis Alexandre Rouault

Byzantine-resilient Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) aims at shielding model training from Byzantine faults, be they ill-labeled training datapoints, exploited software/hardware vulnerabilities, or malicious worker nodes in a distributed setting. Two rece ...

Time in cryptography

Gwangbae Choi

Time travel has always been a fascinating topic in literature and physics. In cryptography, one may wonder how to keep data confidential for some time. In this dissertation, we will study how to make private information travel to the future. This dissertat ...

Bidirectional Asynchronous Ratcheted Key Agreement with Linear Complexity

Serge Vaudenay, Fatma Betül Durak

Following up mass surveillance and privacy issues, modern secure communication protocols now seek more security such as forward secrecy and post-compromise security. They cannot rely on an assumption such as synchronization, predictable sender/receiver rol ...

FirmFuzz: Automated IoT Firmware Introspection and Analysis

Mathias Josef Payer, Hui Peng

While the number of IoT devices grows at an exhilarating pace their security remains stagnant. Imposing secure coding standards across all vendors is infeasible. Testing individual devices allows an analyst to evaluate their security post deployment. Any d ...

Measuring the Security of Website Fingerprinting Defences

Website fingerprinting (WF) attacks can compromise a user’s online privacy, by learning network traffic patterns generated by websites through machine learning (ML) techniques. Such attacks remain unaffected by encryption and even defeat anonymity services ...

SMoTherSpectre: Exploiting Speculative Execution through Port Contention

Babak Falsafi, Mathias Josef Payer, Atri Bhattacharyya

Spectre, Meltdown, and related attacks have demonstrated that kernels, hypervisors, trusted execution environments, and browsers are prone to information disclosure through micro-architectural weaknesses. However, it remains unclear as to what extent other ...

Secure, Confidential Blockchains Providing High Throughput and Low Latency

Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias

One of the core promises of blockchain technology is that of enabling trustworthy data dissemination in a trustless environment. What current blockchain systems deliver, however, is slow dissemination of public data, rendering blockchain technology unusabl ...

Employing Attack Graphs for Intrusion Detection

Mathias Josef Payer

Intrusion detection systems are a commonly deployed defense that examines network traffic, host operations, or both to detect attacks. However, more attacks bypass IDS defenses each year, and with the sophistication of attacks increasing as well, we must e ...

ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2019

Wireless sensors and actuators connected by the Internet-of-Things (IoT) are central to the design of advanced cyber-physical systems (CPSs). In such complex, heterogeneous systems, communication links must meet stringent requirements on throughput, latenc ...
