ICN PATTA: ICN Privacy Attack Through Traffic Analysis

Published in 2021 IEEE 46th Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN), 2021

PATTA is the first privacy attack based on network traffic analysis in Information-Centric Networking. PATTA aims to automatically identify the category of requested content by sniffing the communication towards the first hop router. PATTA applies text processing and machine learning techniques to content names in content-oriented architectures.

Sim2Testbed Transfer: NDN Performance Evaluation

Published in Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security, 2022

The paper proposes a setup of an NDN testbed composed of Raspberry Pi devices. After that, we conduct performance analysis for crucial NDN features such as name-based forwarding, in-network caching, and data packet signing.

Security and Privacy of IP-ICN coexistence: A Comprehensive Survey

Published in IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials, 2023

This article provides the first comprehensive Security and Privacy (SP) analysis of the state-of-the-art IP-ICN coexistence architectures by horizontally comparing the SP features among three deployment approaches – i.e., overlay, underlay, and hybrid – and vertically comparing among the ten considered SP features.

Anonymous Federated Learning via Named-Data Networking

Published in Future Generation Computer Systems, 2024

This paper contributes with a novel anonymous-by-design FL framework with a customised communication protocol leveraging NDN. The proposed communication scheme encompasses an ad-hoc FL-oriented naming convention and anonymity-driven forwarding and enrollment procedures.

Is AI a Trick or T(h)reat for Securing Programmable Data Planes?

Published in IEEE Network Magazine, 2024

This article discusses AI-based security solutions in programmable networks, focusing on the explored modalities of integrating AI models in programmable constrained network devices. Moreover, we elaborate on the challenges and risks of relying on AI for such mechanisms. Lastly, the article brings a visionary glimpse for future trends in this regard, raising some essential questions on the indispensability of AI for security functionalities and providing some alternative solutions.
