Identification of subjects from reconstructed images: Identification of individual subjects based on image reconstructions generated from fMRI brain scans

Reconstructing seen images from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain scans has been a growing topic of interest in the field of neuroscience, fostered by innovation in machine learning and AI. This paper investigates the possible presence of personal features allowing the identification of subjects from their reconstructed images....

Understanding Security and Privacy Characteristics ofHybrid-based IP-ICN Coexistence Architectures

Information-centric Networking (ICN) is the revolution of the internet due to its many benefit over the current internet infrastructure, namely caching, location-independent routing, and data-centric security. ICN ensures seamless data transfer due to its content-centric nature. Due to its content-centric nature, it is a must to ensure that...

A Survey on the Privacy-Preserving Applications of Secure Transformation in Collaborative Supply Chains

Collaboration is a key technique in modern supply chains, both for building trust with other companies, but also for reducing costs or maximizing profits. It is an approach which provides all involved parties with benefits that they could not possibly achieve on their own. Collaboration, however, requires abundant information, including...

Blockchain-based solutions for privacy in the Internet of Things Smart Environment

The expansion of the Internet and wireless access has led to a widespread increase of Internet of Things applications. These smart devices are becoming a daily aspect of our lives. All the convenient and automated services provided by smart devices come from a centralized service provider. This service provider has access to all the personal...

Security and Privacy of Overlay-based ICN/IPCoexistence Approaches

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a networking paradigm proposed to replace the current IP network. It uses in-network caching to enhance availability. However, as a clean slate approach is unlikely to work, an architecture that allows for the two paradigms to coexist needs to me used to facilitate the transition. Several such...

Sense Umbrella Connection and Desensitisation: Weather Witness

As of this moment there is a lack of data about rainfall in cities. To collect such data, IBM has started the Sense Umbrella Connection and Desensitisation project. For this project an umbrella was equipped with a piezoelectric sensor and a Bluetooth device to record the rain that falls on the surface of this umbrella. One downside of this...

A boolean QPQ using single photons

I propose an implementation of the quantum private query protocol as described in an article using a photon to encode a question and reflectionor transmission of the photon as answer options. Each question is represented by a photon in a transmission line with both ends returning to the user, and the answer is represented by reflection or...

RFID Guardian Prototype

The RFID guardian is an embedded device to protect the privacy of people using their RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) enabled products. This BSc. project is about how version 2 of the RFID Guardian hardware was designed. Besides the description about the hardware it handles some obligatory paperwork for the design flow which was used during...
