Scaling up public blockchains

February 10, 2023 by Georgios Spathoulas

Blockchain technology has emerged as the means to change the structure of the Internet and build more trustful and secure services. While deploying an application to a blockchain network brings significant development overhead, the level of decentralization and security offered by permissionless blockchain systems has triggered a huge interest in the technology and a high … [Read more...] about Scaling up public blockchains

Neural networks in the pursuit of invincible counterdrone systems

January 1, 2022 by Jaakko Marin, Karel Pärlin, Micael Bernhardt and Taneli Riihonen

The growing range of possibilities provided by the proliferation of commercial unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, raises alarming safety and security threats. The efficient mitigation of these threats depends on authorities having defense systems to counter both accidentally trespassing and maliciously operated drones. To effectively counter such vehicles, defense systems … [Read more...] about Neural networks in the pursuit of invincible counterdrone systems

A framework for spectrum sharing in cognitive radio networks for military applications

September 1, 2021 by Bindu Bharti, Prabhat Thakur, and Ghanshyam Singh

Image of a US Army member using a radio.

In this article, the dynamic spectrum-accessing techniques—the overlay, underlay, and hybrid spectrum-sharing approaches-are exploited for the military communication. Furthermore, the importance of the energy efficiency of cognitive radio (CR) networks (CRNs) for military applications is discussed. We also emphasize security threats over the physical layer and their mitigation … [Read more...] about A framework for spectrum sharing in cognitive radio networks for military applications

Privacy implications of facial recognition technology

Facial recognition technology (FRT) has experienced enormous growth and rapid deployment across different sectors of the society in recent years, mostly motivated by safety, security, and commercial applications. However, major privacy questions arise around this technology, and regulators are still working to provide clear set of rules governing its use. This paper focuses on privacy implications of FRT usage. Specifically, we first present the definition of FRT, followed by an analysis of the vulnerability and risks that can potentially arise and how they might be concerning in such context. Finally, we discuss efforts needed to mitigate privacy concerns related to FRT, from both technical and regulatory perspectives.
