The robust coding of natural images and the effective compression of encrypted images have been studied individually in recent years. However, little work has been done in the robust coding of encrypted images. The existing results in these two individual research areas cannot be combined directly for the robust coding of encrypted images. This is because the robust coding of natural images relies on the elimination of spatial correlations using sparse transforms such as discrete wavelet transform (DWT), which is ineffective to encrypted images due to the weak correlation between encrypted pixels. Moreover, the compression of encrypted images always generates code streams with different significance. If one or more such streams are lost, the quality of the reconstructed images may drop substantially or decoding error may exist, which violates the goal of robust coding of encrypted images. In this work, we intend to design a robust coder, based on compressive sensing with structurally random matrix, for encrypted images over packet transmission networks. The proposed coder can be applied in the scenario that Alice needs a semi-trusted channel provider Charlie to encode and transmit the encrypted image to Bob. In particular, Alice first encrypts an image using globally random permutation and then sends the encrypted image to Charlie who samples the encrypted image using a structural matrix. Through an imperfect channel with packet loss, Bob receives the compressive measurements and reconstructs the original image by joint decryption and decoding. Experimental results show that the proposed coder can be considered as an efficient multiple description coder with a number of descriptions against packet loss.

The apps installed on a smartphone can reveal much information about a user, such as their medical conditions, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. Additionally, the presence or absence of particular apps on a smartphone can inform an adversary who is intent on attacking the device. In this paper, we show that a passive eavesdropper can feasibly identify smartphone apps by fingerprinting the network traffic that they send. Although SSL/TLS hides the payload of packets, side-channel data such as packet size and direction is still leaked from encrypted connections. We use machine learning techniques to identify smartphone apps from this side-channel data. In addition to merely fingerprinting and identifying smartphone apps, we investigate how app fingerprints change over time, across devices and across differe
Distributed matrix computations -- matrix-matrix or matrix-vector multiplications -- are well-recognized to suffer from the problem of stragglers (slow or failed worker nodes). Much of prior work in this area is (i) either sub-optimal in terms of its straggler resilience, or (ii) suffers from numerical problems, i.e., there is a blow-up of round-off errors in the decoded result owing to the high condition numbers of the corresponding decoding matrices. Our work presents convolutional coding approach to this problem that removes these limitations. It is optimal in terms of its straggler resilience, and has excellent numerical robustness as long as the workers storage capacity is slightly higher than the fundamental lower bound. Moreover, it can be decoded using a fast peeling decoder that only involves add/subtract operations. Our second approach has marginally higher decoding complexity than the first one, but allows us to operate arbitrarily close to the lower bound. Its numerical robustness can be theoretically quantified by deriving a computable upper bound on the worst case condition number over all possible decoding matrices by drawing connections with the properties of large Toeplitz matrices. All above claims are backed up by extensive experiments done on the AWS cloud platform.
Reversible data hiding in encrypted images (RDH-EI) has attracted increasing attention, since it can protect the privacy of original images while the embedded data can be exactly extracted. Recently, some RDH-EI schemes with multiple data hiders have been proposed using secret sharing technique. However, these schemes protect the contents of the original images with lightweight security level. In this paper, we propose a high-security RDH-EI scheme with multiple data hiders. First, we introduce a cipher-feedback secret sharing (CFSS) technique. It follows the cryptography standards by introducing the cipher-feedback strategy of AES. Then, using the CFSS technique, we devise a new (r,n)-threshold (r<=n) RDH-EI scheme with multiple data hiders called CFSS-RDHEI. It can encrypt an original image into n encrypted images with reduced size using an encryption key and sends each encrypted image to one data hider. Each data hider can independently embed secret data into the encrypted image to obtain the corresponding marked encrypted image. The original image can be completely recovered from r marked encrypted images and the encryption key. Performance evaluations show that our CFSS-RDHEI scheme has high embedding rate and its generated encrypted images are much smaller, compared to existing secret sharing-based RDH-EI schemes. Security analysis demonstrates that it can achieve high security to defense some commonly used security attacks.
Reversible data hiding in encrypted images is an eff ective technique for data hiding and preserving image privacy. In this paper, we propose a novel schema based on polynomial arithmetic, which achieves a high embedding capacity with the perfect rec overy of the original image. An effi cient two-layer symmetric en- cryption method is applied to protect the privacy of the original image. One polynomial is generated by the encryption key and a group of the encrypted pixel, and the secret data is mapped into another polynomial. Through the arithmetic of these two polynomials, the purpose of this work is achieved. Fur- thermore, pixel value mapping is designed to reduce the size of auxiliary data, which can further improve embedding capacity. Experimental results demon- strate that our solution has a stable and good performance on various images. Compared with some state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method can get better decrypted image quality with a large embedding capacity.
Remote monitoring to support aging in place is an active area of research. Advanced computer vision technology based on deep learning can provide near real-time home monitoring to detect falling and symptoms related to seizure, and stroke. Affordable webcams, together with cloud computing services (to run machine learning algorithms), can potentially bring significant social and health benefits. However, it has not been deployed in practice because of privacy and security concerns. People may feel uncomfortable sending their videos of daily activities (with potentially sensitive private information) to a computing service provider (e.g., on a commercial cloud). In this paper, we propose a novel strategy to resolve this dilemma by applying fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to an alternative representation of human actions (i.e., skeleton joints), which guarantees information confidentiality while retaining high-performance action detection at a low cost. We design an FHE-friendly neural network for action recognition and present a secure neural network evaluation strategy to achieve near real-time action detection. Our framework for private inference achieves an 87.99% recognition accuracy (86.21% sensitivity and 99.14% specificity in detecting falls) with a latency of 3.1 seconds on real-world datasets. Our evaluation shows that our elaborated and fine-tuned method reduces the inference latency by 23.81%~74.67% over a straightforward implementation.
