Large-Scale Security Analysis of Real-World Backend Deployments Speaking IoT-Focused Protocols
Carlotta Tagliaro, Martina Komsic, Andrea Continella +2
Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, ranging from smart home assistants to health devices, are pervasive: Forecasts estimate their number to reach 29 billion by 2030. Understanding th…
Human Factors in Security Research: Lessons Learned from 2008-2018
Mannat Kaur, Michel van Eeten, Marijn Janssen +2
Instead of only considering technology, computer security research now strives to also take into account the human factor by studying regular users and, to a lesser extent, experts…
Can Encrypted DNS Be Fast?
Austin Hounsel, Paul Schmitt, Kevin Borgolte +1
In this paper, we study the performance of encrypted DNS protocols and conventional DNS from thousands of home networks in the United States, over one month in 2020. We perform the…
Classifying Network Vendors at Internet Scale
Jordan Holland, Ross Teixeira, Paul Schmitt +4
In this paper, we develop a method to create a large, labeled dataset of visible network device vendors across the Internet by mapping network-visible IP addresses to device vendor…
Identifying Disinformation Websites Using Infrastructure Features
Austin Hounsel, Jordan Holland, Ben Kaiser +3
Platforms have struggled to keep pace with the spread of disinformation. Current responses like user reports, manual analysis, and third-party fact checking are slow and difficult…
Encryption without Centralization: Distributing DNS Queries Across Recursive Resolvers
Austin Hounsel, Paul Schmitt, Kevin Borgolte +1
Emerging protocols such as DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-TLS (DoT) improve the privacy of DNS queries and responses. While this trend towards encryption is positive, deployment…
Comparing the Effects of DNS, DoT, and DoH on Web Performance
Austin Hounsel, Kevin Borgolte, Paul Schmitt +2
Nearly every service on the Internet relies on the Domain Name System (DNS), which translates a human-readable name to an IP address before two endpoints can communicate. Today, DN…
