Community-Aware Group Testing

Pavlos Nikolopoulos, Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Sundara Rajan Srinivasavaradhan

Group testing is a technique that can reduce the number of tests needed to identify infected members in a population, by pooling together multiple diagnostic samples. Despite the variety and importance of prior results, traditional work on group testing ha ...

Group testing for connected communities

Pavlos Nikolopoulos, Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Sundara Rajan Srinivasavaradhan

In this paper, we propose algorithms that leverage a known community structure to make group testing more efficient. We consider a population organized in disjoint communities: each individual participates in a community, and its infection probability depe ...

Creating Secrets Out Of Packet Erasures

Aikaterini Argyraki, Christina Fragouli, László Czap, Iris Safaka

We present protocols for creating pairwise secrets between nodes in a wireless network, so that these secrets are secure from an eavesdropper, Eve, with unbounded computational and memory capabilities, but with limited network presence. We first present a ...

An LP Characterization of the Secret-message Capacity of Three Erasure Networks With Feedback

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

This paper presents exact capacity characterizations for the case, when a principal, Alice, wants to securely send a message to another principal, Bob, over three network configurations: the parallel edges network, the V-network, and the triangle network. ...

MicroCast: Cooperative Video Streaming Using Cellular and Local Connections

Christina Fragouli, Lorenzo Keller

We consider a group of mobile users, within proximity of each other, who are interested in watching the same online video. The common practice today is that each user downloads the video independently on her mobile device using her own cellular connection, ...

On the Complexity of Scheduling in Half-Duplex Diamond Networks

Christina Fragouli, Ayfer Özgür Aydin, Siddhartha Brahma

We consider an n-relay Gaussian diamond network where a source communicates to a destination with the help of n half-duplex relays. Achieving rates close to the capacity of this network requires to employ all the n relays under an optimal transmit/receive ...

Matryoshka: Hiding Secret Communication in Plain Sight

Aikaterini Argyraki, Christina Fragouli, Iris Safaka

We want to enable a pair of communicating users to exchange secret messages while hiding the fact that secret communication is taking place. We propose a linguistic steganography approach, where each human message is hidden in another human-like message. A ...

System and method for cooperative data streaming

Christina Fragouli, Lorenzo Keller

A system and method for cooperative data streaming are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system for cooperative data streaming comprises a group of devices comprising at least two devices, which are interested in obtaining the same content from the ...

Secure Network Coding With Erasures and Feedback

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

Secure network coding assumes that the underlying network channels are error-free; thus, if our channels introduce errors, we need to first apply a channel code to correct them, and then build security on top of the resulting error-free network. In this pa ...

Secret Communication Over Broadcast Erasure Channels With State-Feedback

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

We consider a 1-to-K communication scenario, where a source transmits private messages to K receivers through a broadcast erasure channel, and the receivers feedback strictly, causally, and publicly their channel states after each transmission. We explore ...
