Phishing URL Detection Through Top-Level Domain Analysis: A Descriptive Approach (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Christou, O., Pitropakis, N., Papadopoulos, P., Mckeown, S., & Buchanan, W. J. (2020). Phishing URL Detection Through Top-Level Domain Analysis: A Descriptive Approach. In Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Information Systems Security and Privacy (289-298). https://doi.org/10.5220/0008902202890298

Phishing is considered to be one of the most prevalent cyber-attacks because of its immense flexibility and alarmingly high success rate. Even with adequate training and high situational awareness, it can still be hard for users to continually be awa...

Asymmetric Private Set Intersection with Applications to Contact Tracing and Private Vertical Federated Machine Learning (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Angelou, N., Benaissa, A., Cebere, B., Clark, W., Hall, A. J., Hoeh, M. A., …Titcombe, T. (2020, December). Asymmetric Private Set Intersection with Applications to Contact Tracing and Private Vertical Federated Machine Learning. Poster presented at NeurIPS 2020 Workshop on Privacy Preserving Machine Learning (PPML 2020), Online

We present a multi-language, cross-platform, open-source library for asymmetric private set intersection (PSI) and PSI-Cardinality (PSI-C). Our protocol combines traditional DDH-based PSI and PSI-C protocols with compression based on Bloom filters th...

Review and Critical Analysis of Privacy-preserving Infection Tracking and Contact Tracing (2020)
Journal Article
Buchanan, W. J., Imran, M. A., Ur-Rehman, M., Zhang, L., Abbasi, Q. H., Chrysoulas, C., …Papadopoulos, P. (2020). Review and Critical Analysis of Privacy-preserving Infection Tracking and Contact Tracing. Frontiers in Communications and Networks, https://doi.org/10.3389/frcmn.2020.583376

The outbreak of viruses have necessitated contact tracing and infection tracking methods. Despite various efforts, there is currently no standard scheme for the tracing and tracking. Many nations of the world have therefore, developed their own ways... Read More about Review and Critical Analysis of Privacy-preserving Infection Tracking and Contact Tracing.

A Privacy-Preserving Healthcare Framework Using Hyperledger Fabric (2020)
Journal Article
Stamatellis, C., Papadopoulos, P., Pitropakis, N., Katsikas, S., & Buchanan, W. J. (2020). A Privacy-Preserving Healthcare Framework Using Hyperledger Fabric. Sensors, 20(22), Article 6587. https://doi.org/10.3390/s20226587

Electronic health record (EHR) management systems require the adoption of effective technologies when health information is being exchanged. Current management approaches often face risks that may expose medical record storage solutions to common sec... Read More about A Privacy-Preserving Healthcare Framework Using Hyperledger Fabric.

A Distributed Trust Framework for Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Abramson, W., Hall, A. J., Papadopoulos, P., Pitropakis, N., & Buchanan, W. J. (2020). A Distributed Trust Framework for Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning. In Trust, Privacy and Security in Digital Business (205-220). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-58986-8_14

When training a machine learning model, it is standard procedure for the researcher to have full knowledge of both the data and model. However, this engenders a lack of trust between data owners and data scientists. Data owners are justifiably reluct...

Privacy-Preserving Passive DNS (2020)
Journal Article
Papadopoulos, P., Pitropakis, N., Buchanan, W. J., Lo, O., & Katsikas, S. (2020). Privacy-Preserving Passive DNS. Computers, 9(3), Article 64. https://doi.org/10.3390/computers9030064

The Domain Name System (DNS) was created to resolve the IP addresses of web servers to easily remembered names. When it was initially created, security was not a major concern; nowadays, this lack of inherent security and trust has exposed the global... Read More about Privacy-Preserving Passive DNS.
