Genuinely distributed Byzantine machine learning

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Le Nguyen Hoang, Sébastien Louis Alexandre Rouault, Arsany Hany Abdelmessih Guirguis

Machine learning (ML) solutions are nowadays distributed, according to the so-called server/worker architecture. One server holds the model parameters while several workers train the model. Clearly, such architecture is prone to various types of component ...

Who Started This Rumor? Quantifying the Natural Differential Privacy of Gossip Protocols

Rachid Guerraoui, Hadrien Hendrikx

Gossip protocols (also called rumor spreading or epidemic protocols) are widely used to disseminate information in massive peer-to-peer networks. These protocols are often claimed to guarantee privacy because of the uncertainty they introduce on the node t ...

Systems and method for anonymous, low-latencey, tracking-resistant communications in a networked environment

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Bryan Alexander Ford, Italo Ivan Dacosta Petrocelli, Ludovic Barman

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide cryptographically-strong tracking protection with unnoticeable "single-hop" network latencies by leveraging a client-relay- server architecture, in which the clients, relays (trusted or untrusted), an ...

PriFi: A Low-Latency and Tracking-Resistant Protocol for Local-Area Anonymous Communication

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Ludovic Barman, Bryan Alexander Ford, Mahdi Zamani, Italo Ivan Dacosta Petrocelli

Popular anonymity mechanisms such as Tor provide low communication latency but are vulnerable to traffic analysis attacks that can de-anonymize users. Moreover, known traffic-analysis-resistant techniques such as Dissent are impractical for use in latency- ...

Correlation-Aware Virtual Machine Allocation for Energy-Efficient Datacenters

David Atienza Alonso, Martino Ruggiero, Jungsoo Kim, Marcel Ledergerber

Server consolidation plays a key role to mitigate the continuous power increase of datacenters. The recent advent of scale-out applications (e.g., web search, MapReduce, etc.) necessitate the revisit of existing server consolidation solutions due to distin ...

A Distributed Polling with Probabilistic Privacy

Rachid Guerraoui, Florian Huc, Yahya Benkaouz

In this paper, we present PDP, a distributed polling protocol that enables a set of participants to gather their opinion on a common interest without revealing their point of view. PDP does not rely on any centralized authority or on heavyweight cryptograp ...

Enabling Query Technologies for the Semantic Sensor Web

Karl Aberer, Jean Paul Calbimonte Perez, Ho Young Jeung

Sensor networks are increasingly being deployed in the environment for many different purposes. The observations that they produce are made available with heterogeneous schemas, vocabularies and data formats, making it difficult to share and reuse this dat ...

Convergent Synthesis of Near-Infrared Absorbing, "Push-Pull", Bisthiophene-Substituted, Zinc(II) Phthalocyanines and their Application in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Jun Ho Yum

Zinc(II) phthalocyanine dyes that contain triarylamine-terminated bisthiophene and hexylbisthiophene groups have been synthesized by a convergent approach by using carboxytriiodoZnPc as a precursor. Further transformation of the iodo groups by a Pd-catalyz ...

Scalable and Secure Polling in Dynamic Distributed Networks

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Hamza Harkous, Florian Huc

We consider the problem of securely conducting a poll in synchronous dynamic networks equipped with a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Whereas previous distributed solutions had a communication cost of O(n^2) in an n nodes system, we present SPP (Secure an ...

Decentralized Polling with Respectable Participants

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Maxime Monod, Kévin Clément Huguenin

We consider the polling problem in a social network where participants care about their reputation: they do not want their vote to be disclosed nor their misbehaving, if any, to be publicly exposed. Assuming this reputation concern, we show that a simple s ...

RouteBricks: Exploiting Parallelism to Scale Software Routers

Aikaterini Argyraki, Mihai Dobrescu

We revisit the problem of scaling software routers, motivated by recent advances in server technology that enable high-speed parallel processing---a feature router workloads appear ideally suited to exploit. We propose a software router architecture that p ...

Playback Delay and Buffering Optimization in Scalable Video Broadcasting

Pascal Frossard, Jean-Paul Wagner

This paper addresses the problem of optimizing the playback delay experienced by a population of heterogeneous clients, in video streaming applications. We consider a typical broadcast scenario, where clients subscribe to different portions of a scalable v ...

Web-based management of IP networks and systems

Jean-Philippe Martin-Flatin

The management of IP networks and systems is currently based on the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the SNMP management architecture. This poses a number of problems. Some are related to the efficiency, scalability, latency, and expressivenes ...
