A Privacy-Preserving Location Monitoring System for Wireless Sensor Networks

Technology Used: Java / J2EE IEEE 2011 Download IEEE Projects 2011 Basepaper Monitoring personal locations with a potentially untrusted server poses privacy threats to the monitored individuals. To this end, we propose a privacy-preserving location monitoring system for wireless sensor networks. In our system, we design two in-network location anonymization algorithms, namely, resource and quality-aware [...]

Rumor Riding: Anonymizing Unstructured Peer-to-Peer Systems

Technology Used: Java Parallel and Distributed Systems, IEEE 2011 Download IEEE Projects 2011 Basepaper Although anonymizing Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems often incurs extra traffic costs, many systems try to mask the identities of their users for privacy considerations. Existing anonymity approaches are mainly path-based: peers have to pre-construct an anonymous path before transmission. The overhead of [...]

Nymble: Blocking Misbehaving Users in Anonymizing Networks

Technology Used: Java / J2EE Dependable Secure Computing, IEEE 2011 Download IEEE Project 2011 Basepaper Anonymizing networks such as Tor allow users to access Internet services privately by using a series of routers to hide the client’s IP address from the server. The success of such networks, however, has been limited by users employing this [...]

Data Leakage Detection

Technology Used: Java Knowledge and Data Engineering, IEEE 2011 Download IEEE Projects 2011 Basepaper We study the following problem: A data distributor has given sensitive data to a set of supposedly trusted agents (third parties). Some of the data are leaked and found in an unauthorized place (e.g., on the web or somebody’s laptop). The distributor must [...]

Novel Defense Mechanism Against Data Flooding Attacks In Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Technology Used: Java Consumer Electronics, IEEE 2010 Mobile users like to use their own consumer electronic devices anywhere and at anytime to access multimedia data. Hence, we expect that wireless ad hoc networks will be widely used in the near future since these networks form the topology with low cost on the fly. However, consumer [...]

Mitigating Selective Forwarding Attacks With A Channel-Aware Approach In WMNS-java

Technology Used: Java Wireless Communications, IEEE 2010 In this paper, we consider a special case of denial of service (DoS) attack in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) known as selective forwarding attack (a.k.a gray hole attacks). With such an attack, a misbehaving mesh router just forwards a subset of the packets it receives but drops the [...]

On Event-Based Middleware for Location-Aware Mobile Applications

Technology Used: Java IEEE 2010 As mobile applications become more widespread, programming paradigms and middleware architectures designed to support their development are becoming increasingly important. The event-based programming paradigm is a strong candidate for the development of mobile applications due to its inherent support for the loose coupling between components required by mobile applications. However, [...]

Sparse Bayesian Learning of Filters for Efficient Image Expansion

Technology Used: Dot Net IEEE 2010 We propose a framework for expanding a given image using an interpolator that is trained in advance with training data, based on sparse Bayesian estimation for determining the optimal and compact support for efficient image expansion. Experiments on test data show that learned  interpolators are compact yet superior to [...]

A DWT Based Approach for Steganography Using Biometrics

Technology Used: Dot Net IEEE 2010 Steganography is the art of hiding the existence of data in another transmission medium to achieve secret communication. It does not replace cryptography but rather boosts the security using its obscurity features. Steganography method used in this paper is based on biometrics. And the biometric feature used to implement [...]

An Improved Lossless Image Compression Algorithm Loco-R

Technology Used: Java IEEE 2010 This paper presents a state-of-the-art implementation of lossless image compression algorithm LOCO-R, which is based on the LOCO-I (low complexity lossless compression for images) algorithm developed by weinberger, Seroussi and Sapiro, with modifications and betterment, the algorithm reduces obviously the implementation complexity. Experiments illustrate that this algorithm is better than [...]
