Generalised Entropies and Metric-Invariant Optimal Countermeasures for Information Leakage under Symmetric Constraints
MHR Khouzani, Pasquale Malacaria
We introduce a novel generalization of entropy and conditional entropy from which most definitions from the literature can be derived as particular cases. Within this general frame…
Pseudo-Random Number Generation using Generative Adversarial Networks
Marcello De Bernardi, MHR Khouzani, Pasquale Malacaria
Pseudo-random number generators (PRNG) are a fundamental element of many security algorithms. We introduce a novel approach to their implementation, by proposing the use of generat…
Picking vs. Guessing Secrets: A Game-Theoretic Analysis (Technical Report)
MHR Khouzani, Piotr Mardziel, Carlos Cid +1
Choosing a hard-to-guess secret is a prerequisite in many security applications. Whether it is a password for user authentication or a secret key for a cryptographic primitive, pic…
Optimal Patching in Clustered Malware Epidemics
Soheil Eshghi, MHR. Khouzani, Saswati Sarkar +1
Studies on the propagation of malware in mobile networks have revealed that the spread of malware can be highly inhomogeneous. Platform diversity, contact list utilization by the m…
Optimal Energy-Aware Epidemic Routing in DTNs
Soheil Eshghi, MHR. Khouzani, Saswati Sarkar +2
In this work, we investigate the use of epidemic routing in energy constrained Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs). In epidemic routing, messages are relayed by intermediate nodes at co…
An Analytical Approach to the Adoption of Asymmetric Bidirectional Firewalls: Need for Regulation?
M. H. R. Khouzani, Soumya Sen, Ness B. Shroff
Recent incidents of cybersecurity violations have revealed the importance of having firewalls and other intrusion detection systems to monitor traffic entering and leaving access n…
