Post-Quantum Cryptography in the 5G Core

In this work, the conventional cryptographic algorithms used in the 5G Core are replaced with post-quantum alternatives and the practical impact of this transition is evaluated. Using a simulation environment, we model the registration and deregistration of varying numbers of user equipments UEs...

RevealNet: Distributed Traffic Correlation for Attack Attribution on Programmable Networks

Network attackers have increasingly resorted to proxy chains, VPNs, and anonymity networks to conceal their activities. To tackle this issue, past research has explored the applicability of traffic correlation techniques to perform attack attribution, i.e., to identify an attacker's true network...

Researchers Figure Out How to Blind ISPs from Smart Home Device Traffic

Researchers have come up with a way to blind ISPs and attackers in a man-in-the-middle position to network traffic emanating from smart home devices. Smart devices such as sleep monitors, electric switches, security cameras and many others require an internet connection to function properly. They...
