Not Yet Another Digital ID: Privacy-Preserving Humanitarian Aid Distribution

Carmela González Troncoso, Boya Wang, Wouter Lueks, Justinas Sukaitis

Humanitarian aid-distribution programs help bring physical goods to people in need. Traditional paper-based solutions to support aid distribution do not scale to large populations and are hard to secure. Existing digital solutions solve these issues, at th ...

Inferring Accurate Bus Trajectories from Noisy Estimated Arrival Time Records

Lakmal Buddika Meegahapola

Urban commuting data has long been a vital source of understanding population mobility behaviour and has been widely adopted for various applications such as transport infrastructure planning and urban anomaly detection. While individual-specific transacti ...

Towards Mobility-as-a-Service: a cross-case analysis of public authorities' roles in the development of ICT-supported integrated mobility schemes

Maxime Ugo Julien Audouin

Automobiles have become counter-productive. Negative externalities resulting from car use have overcome the social benefits automobiles brought when initially introduced. Having shaped most contemporary transportation systems, the automobility regime is kn ...

Pre-Impact Detection Algorithm to Identify Tripping Events Using Wearable Sensors

Silvestro Micera

This study aimed to investigate the performance of an updated version of our pre-impact detection algorithm parsing out the output of a set of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) placed on lower limbs and designed to recognize signs of lack of balance due to ...

Implications of Position in Cryptography

Handan Kilinç Alper

In our daily lives, people or devices frequently need to learn their location for many reasons as some services depend on the absolute location or the proximity. The outcomes of positioning systems can have critical effects e.g., on military, emergency. Th ...

Secure Contactless Payment

Serge Vaudenay, Handan Kilinç Alper

A contactless payment lets a card holder execute payment without any interaction (e.g., entering PIN or signing) between the terminal and the card holder. Even though the security is the first priority in a payment system, the formal security model of cont ...

Security of Distance-Bounding: A Survey

Serge Vaudenay, Gildas Avoine, Martin Benjamin, Ioana Cristina Carlson, Srdan Capkun, Aslan Tchamkerten

Distance-bounding protocols allow a verifier to both authenticate a prover and evaluate whether the latter is located in his vicinity. These protocols are of particular interest in contactless systems, e.g. electronic payment or access control systems, whi ...

Contactless Access Control Based on Distance Bounding

Serge Vaudenay

Contactless access control systems are critical for security but often vulnerable to relay attacks. In this paper, we define an integrated security and privacy model for access control using distance bounding (DB) which is the most robust solution to preve ...

Private Eyes: Secure Remote Biometric Authentication

Bryan Alexander Ford

We propose an efficient remote biometric authentication protocol that gives strong protection to the user’s biometric data in case of two common kinds of security breaches: (1) loss or theft of the user’s token (smart card, handheld device, etc.), giving t ...
