TERMinator Suite: Benchmarking Privacy-Preserving Architectures
Dimitris Mouris, Nektarios Georgios Tsoutsos, and Michail Maniatakos Security and privacy are fundamental objectives characterizing contemporary cloud computing. Despite the wide adoption of encryption for protecting data in transit and at rest, data in use remains unencrypted inside cloud processors and memories, as computation is not applicable on encrypted values. This limitation introduces security risks,...

A Game-Theoretic Taxonomy and Survey of Defensive Deception for Cybersecurity and Privacy
Jeffrey Pawlick, Edward Colbert and Quanyan Zhu. Cyber attacks on both databases and critical infrastructure have threatened public and private sectors. Meanwhile, ubiquitous tracking and wearable computing have infringed upon privacy. Advocates and engineers have recently proposed using defensive deception as a means to leverage the information asymmetry typically enjoyed by attackers as a tool...

Image Carving with Missing Headers and Missing Fragments
Emre Durmus, Manoranjan Mohanty, Samet Taspinar, Erkam Uzun and Nasir Memon Although some remarkable advancements have been made in image carving, even in the presence of fragmentation, existing methods are not effective when parts (fragments) of an image are missing. This paper addresses this problem and proposes a PRNU (Photo Response Non-Uniformity)-based image carving method....
