This work presents an effective and efficient solution (SLiFi) to the evil twin attack in wireless networks. The evil twin is a rogue Wifi Access Point (AP) that pretends to be an authentic one by using the same network ...

Cybersecurity in smart grids is of critical importance given the heavy reliance of modern societies on electricity and the recent cyberattacks that resulted in blackouts. The evolution of the legacy electric grid to a ...

Conventional security risk assessment approaches for cloud infrastructures do not explicitly consider risk with respect to specific threats. This is a challenge for a cloud provider because it may apply the same risk ...

Our data, be it personal or professional, is increasingly outsourced. This results from the development of cloud computing in the past ten years, a paradigm that shifts computing to a utility. Even without realizing it, ...

When a vulnerability is discovered in a system, some key questions often asked by the security analyst are what threat(s) does it pose, what attacks may exploit it, and which parts of the system it affects. Answers to those ...

Historically, health data was stored locally on the hospital's server as patient health records, and we had to rely on the planned check-up during doctor's visits. Now, we can monitor health continuously and in real-time. ...

Identifying similarities in large datasets is an essential operation in many applications such as bioinformatics, pattern recognition, and data integration. To make the underlying database system similarity-aware, the core ...

Existing security risk evaluation approaches (e.g., asset-based) do not consider specific security requirements of individual cloud computing clients in the security risk evaluation. In this paper, we propose a threat-specific ...

Time series forecasting remains a challenging task in data science while it is of great relevance to decision-making in various industries such as transportation, finance, electricity resource management, meteorology. ...

The Tor anonymity network is one of the most popular and widely used tools to protect the privacy of online users. Tor provides defenses against multiple adversarial activities aiming to identify or trace the users. Traffic ...
