Altruism, reciprocity, and tokens to reward forwarding data: Is that fair?

Verónica del Carmen Estrada Galiñanes, Arman Babaei

Decentralized storage networks offer services with intriguing possibilities to reduce inequalities in an extremely centralized market. Fair distribution of rewards, however, is still a persistent problem in the current generation of decentralized applicati ...

Moby: A Blackout-Resistant Anonymity Network for Mobile Devices

Bryan Alexander Ford, Antoine Rault, Amogh Pradeep, Hira Javaid

Internet blackouts are challenging environments for anonymity and censorship resistance. Existing popular anonymity networks (e.g., Freenet, I2P, Tor) rely on Internet connectivity to function, making them impracticable during such blackouts. In such a set ...

Smaller, Faster & Lighter KNN Graph Constructions

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Olivier Ruas

We propose GoldFinger, a new compact and fast-to-compute binary representation of datasets to approximate Jaccard’s index. We illustrate the effectiveness of GoldFinger on the emblematic big data problem of K-Nearest-Neighbor (KNN) graph construction and s ...

Systems and method for anonymous, low-latencey, tracking-resistant communications in a networked environment

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Bryan Alexander Ford, Italo Ivan Dacosta Petrocelli, Ludovic Barman

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide cryptographically-strong tracking protection with unnoticeable "single-hop" network latencies by leveraging a client-relay- server architecture, in which the clients, relays (trusted or untrusted), an ...

Formal Analysis of Distance Bounding with Secure Hardware

Serge Vaudenay, Handan Kilinç Alper

A distance bounding (DB) protocol is a two-party authentication protocol between a prover and a verifier which is based on the distance between the prover and the verifier. It aims to defeat threats by malicious provers who try to convince that they are cl ...

Trustworthy Cloud Storage

Maxime Augier

The Cloud trend is an attempt to leverage economics of scale in the domain of computing resources. Unfortunately, this often means losing control of the lower levels of a computer system, and exposing users to new threat vectors. These threats may be signi ...

Mitigating Anonymity Challenges in Automated Testing and Debugging Systems

George Candea, Silviu Andrica

Modern software often provides automated testing and bug reporting facilities that enable developers to improve the software after release. Alas, this comes at the cost of user anonymity: reported execution traces may identify users. We present a way to mi ...

Trust-aware peer sampling: Performance and privacy tradeoffs

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Davide Frey, Julien Michel Stainer

The ability to identify people that share one's own interests is one of the most interesting promises of the Web 2.0 driving user-centric applications such as recommendation systems or collaborative marketplaces. To be truly useful, however, information ab ...

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 ...

Network coding node placement for delay minimization in streaming overlays

Pascal Frossard, Nikolaos Thomos, Nicolae Cleju

Network coding has been proposed recently as an efficient method to increase network throughput by allowing network nodes to combine packets instead of simply forwarding them. However, packet combinations in the network may increase delay, complexity and e ...
