Title:
Protecting Data Privacy in Data Outsourcing and Publication
Abstract:
Organizations, as well as end users, are today resorting to service providers for disseminating and sharing resources they want to make available to others. The outsourcing of storage and computation to external parties promises then to become a crucial component of future ICT architectures. Such scenario clearly raises privacy issues since data storage needs to rely on possible untrusted parties and in data publication and dissemination it is important to ensure that sensitive information be properly protected from leakage. In this talk, I will illustrate different issues related to the problem of protecting privacy in data outsourcing and publication scenarios, and discuss some emerging solutions and research directions.

Title:
Detecting Node Clones in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract:
A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a number of low-cost, resource-constrained sensor nodes, and is often deployed in unattended and harsh environments to perform various monitoring tasks. An adversary can easily capture and compromise just one legitimate node. With the revealed secret credentials, the adversary can create many cloned nodes that are seemingly legitimate, too, and deploy them at strategic places throughout the network to cripple the monitoring applications. Defending against node clone attacks has become an important research topic in sensor network security. In this talk, we first provide a survey of node clone detection techniques for stationary WSNs. We then introduce the recent progress in node clone detection for mobile WSNs.
