Title: Measurement and Experimentation in a Complex World

Abstract

The complexity of the Internet has multiplied over the past decade, with massive increases in scale, heterogeneity, and mobility. This talk will explore this increase in complexity, and how to apply measurement and experimentation techniques to understand the complex Internet, and evaluate new design ideas in realistic settings. As examples, we will briefly discuss some of our work on adaptive measurement, and on conducting high-fidelity experiments at scale.

Title: Attributing Pictures to Smartphones via Camera Fingerprinting 

Abstract

Today’s society faces numerous data leakage incidents, which affect users’ privacy more severe than ever. Existing user authentication practices based on traditional cryptography and biometric techniques have become largely insufficient, if not ineffective, as we move into the AI and IoT era.  In order to address this challenge, smartphones have been widely explored by both academia and industry as a readily available possession device of the users. In this talk, we explore the technique of camera fingerprinting to develop a brand-new hardware-rooted smartphone authentication mechanism. Various security issues underlying the proposed authentication mechanism are discussed in-depth. The usability of the proposed solution is also demonstrated through real-world experiments.
