However, while IoT devices often use IPv6, past studies resorted to comprehensively scan the IPv4 address space. To fully understand how the IoT and all its services and devices is operated, including IPv6-reachable deployments is inevitable-although scanning the entire IPv6 address space is infeasible. In this paper, we close this gap and examine how to best discover IPv6-reachable IoT deployments. To this end, we propose a methodology that allows combining various IPv6 scan direction approaches to understand the findability and prevalence of IPv6-reachable IoT deployments. Using three sources of active IPv6 addresses and eleven address generators, we discovered 6658 IoT deployments. We derive that the available address sources are a good starting point for finding IoT deployments. Additionally, we show that using two address generators is sufficient to cover most found deployments and save time as well as resources. Assessing the security of the deployments, we surprisingly find similar issues as in the IPv4 Internet, although IPv6 deployments might be newer and generally more up-to-date: Only 39% of deployments have access control in place and only 6.2% make use of TLS inviting attackers, e.g., to eavesdrop sensitive data.

To uphold a secure and safe operation of these deployments, industrial protocols nowadays include security features, e.g., end-to-end secure communication. However, so far, it is unclear how well these features are used in practice and which obstacles might prevent operators from securely running their deployments. In this research description paper, we summarize our recent research activities to close this gap. Specifically, we show that even secure-by-design protocols are by far no guarantee for secure deployments. Instead, many deployments still open the doors for eavesdropping attacks or malicious takeovers. Additionally, we give an outlook on how to overcome identified obstacles allowing operators to configure their deployments more securely.

Even though the global sharing of information and industrial collaborations in the IIoT promise significant improvements concerning productivity, sustainability, and product quality, among others, the majority of stakeholders is hesitant to implement them due to confidentiality and reliability concerns. However, strong technical guarantees could convince them of the contrary. Thus, to address these concerns, our interdisciplinary efforts focus on establishing and realizing secure industrial collaborations in the IIoT. By applying private computing, we are indeed able to reliably secure collaborations that not only scale to industry-sized applications but also allow for use case-specific confidentiality guarantees. Hence, improvements that follow from industrial collaborations with (strong) technical guarantees are within reach, even when dealing with cautious stakeholders. Still, until we can fully exploit these benefits, several challenges remain, primarily regarding collaboration management, introduced overhead, interoperability, and universality of proposed protocols. security; privacy; private computing; reliability internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2024/2024-pennekamp-noms-dissertation-digest.pdf IEEE Proceedings of the 2024 IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS '24), May 6-10, 2024, Seoul, Korea Seoul, Korea 2024 IEEE Network Operations and Management Symposium May 6-10, 2024 accepted 1 JanPennekamp inproceedings 2024-kunze-spintrap 2024 5 7 IEEE/IFIP Proceedings of the 2024 IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS '24) 2024 IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium accepted 1 IkeKunze ConstantinSander LarsTissen BenediktBode KlausWehrle article 2024_lohmoeller_sovereignty-survey Data & Knowledge Engineering 2024 5 1 151 Data ecosystems emerged as a new paradigm to facilitate the automated and massive exchange of data from heterogeneous information sources between different stakeholders. However, the corresponding benefits come with unforeseen risks as sensitive information is potentially exposed, questioning their reliability. Consequently, data security is of utmost importance and, thus, a central requirement for successfully realizing data ecosystems. Academia has recognized this requirement, and current initiatives foster sovereign participation via a federated infrastructure where participants retain local control over what data they offer to whom. However, recent proposals place significant trust in remote infrastructure by implementing organizational security measures such as certification processes before the admission of a participant. At the same time, the data sensitivity incentivizes participants to bypass the organizational security measures to maximize their benefit. This issue significantly weakens security, sovereignty, and trust guarantees and highlights that organizational security measures are insufficient in this context. In this paper, we argue that data ecosystems must be extended with technical means to (re)establish dependable guarantees. We underpin this need with three representative use cases for data ecosystems, which cover personal, economic, and governmental data, and systematically map the lack of dependable guarantees in related work. To this end, we identify three enablers of dependable guarantees, namely trusted remote policy enforcement, verifiable data tracking, and integration of resource-constrained participants. These enablers are critical for securely implementing data ecosystems in data-sensitive contexts.

Although the global sharing of information and industrial collaborations in the IIoT promise to enhance productivity, sustainability, and product quality, among other benefits, most information is still commonly encapsulated in local information silos. In addition to interoperability issues, confidentiality concerns of involved stakeholders remain the main obstacle to fully realizing these improvements in practice as they largely hinder real-world industrial collaborations today. Therefore, this dissertation addresses this mission-critical research gap. Since existing approaches to privacy-preserving information sharing are not scalable to industry-sized applications in the IIoT, we present solutions that enable secure collaborations in the IIoT while providing technical (confidentiality) guarantees to the involved stakeholders. Our research is crucial (i) for demonstrating the potential and added value of (secure) collaborations and (ii) for convincing cautious stakeholders of the usefulness and benefits of technical building blocks, enabling reliable sharing of confidential information, even among direct competitors. Our interdisciplinary research thus focuses on establishing and realizing secure industrial collaborations in the IIoT. In this regard, we study two overarching angles of collaborations in detail. First, we distinguish between collaborations along and across supply chains, with the former type entailing more relaxed confidentiality requirements. Second, whether or not collaborators know each other in advance implies different levels of trust and requires different technical guarantees. We rely on well-established building blocks from private computing (i.e., privacy-preserving computation and confidential computing) to reliably realize secure collaborations. We thoroughly evaluate each of our designs, using multiple real-world use cases from production technology, to prove their practical feasibility for the IIoT. By applying private computing, we are indeed able to secure collaborations that not only scale to industry-sized applications but also allow for use case-specific configurations of confidentiality guarantees. In this dissertation, we use well-established building blocks to assemble novel solutions with technical guarantees for all types of collaborations (along and across supply chains as well as with known or unknown collaborators). Finally, on the basis of our experience with engineers, we have derived a research methodology for future use that structures the process of interdisciplinary development and evaluation of secure collaborations in the evolving IIoT. Overall, given the aforementioned improvements, our research should greatly contribute to convincing even cautious stakeholders to participate in (reliably-secured) industrial collaborations. Our work is an essential first step toward establishing widespread information sharing among stakeholders in the IIoT. We further conclude: (i) collaborations can be reliably secured, and we can even provide technical guarantees while doing so; (ii) building blocks from private computing scale to industrial applications and satisfy the outlined confidentiality needs; (iii) improvements resulting from industrial collaborations are within reach, even when dealing with cautious stakeholders; and (iv) the interdisciplinary development of sophisticated yet appropriate designs for use case-driven secure collaborations can succeed in practice. internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2024/2024-pennekamp-phd-thesis.pdf Shaker Verlag

Here, blockchain technology emerges as a possible driver that satisfies demands even in settings with mutually distrustful stakeholders. We identify significant benefits achieved by blockchain technology for Industry 4.0 but also point out challenges and corresponding design options when applying blockchain technology in the industrial domain. Furthermore, we survey diverse industrial sectors to shed light on the current intersection between blockchain technology and industry, which provides the foundation for ongoing as well as upcoming research. As industrial blockchain applications are still in their infancy, we expect that new designs and concepts will develop gradually, creating both supporting tools and groundbreaking innovations. internet-of-production Springer Advances in Information Security 17 Blockchains – A Handbook on Fundamentals, Platforms and Applications 978-3-031-32145-0 10.1007/978-3-031-32146-7_17 1 JanPennekamp LennartBader EricWagner JensHiller RomanMatzutt KlausWehrle incollection 2024_matzutt_blockchain-content 2024 3 7 105 301-336 Augmenting public blockchains with arbitrary, nonfinancial content fuels novel applications that facilitate the interactions between mutually distrusting parties. However, new risks emerge at the same time when illegal content is added. This chapter thus provides a holistic overview of the risks of content insertion as well as proposed countermeasures. We first establish a simple framework for how content is added to the blockchain and subsequently distributed across the blockchain’s underlying peer-to-peer network. We then discuss technical as well as legal implications of this form of content distribution and give a systematic overview of basic methods and high-level services for inserting arbitrary blockchain content. Afterward, we assess to which extent these methods and services have been used in the past on the blockchains of Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin Cash, and Bitcoin SV, respectively. Based on this assessment of the current state of (unwanted) blockchain content, we discuss (a) countermeasures to mitigate its insertion, (b) how pruning blockchains relates to this issue, and (c) how strategically weakening the otherwise desired immutability of a blockchain allows for redacting objectionable content. We conclude this chapter by identifying future research directions in the domain of blockchain content insertion.

In practice, however, supply chains face severe technical challenges, especially regarding security and privacy. In this work, we consolidate studies from supply chain management, information systems, and computer science from 2010--2021 in an interdisciplinary meta-survey to make this topic holistically accessible to interdisciplinary research. In particular, we identify a significant potential for computer scientists to remedy technical challenges and improve the robustness of information flows.

The lack of mutual trust in such networks results in challenges that are exacerbated by stringent requirements for shipping conditions or quality, and where actors may attempt to reduce costs or cover up incidents. In this paper, we develop and comprehensively study four scenarios that eventually lead to end-to-end-secured sensing in complex IoT-based supply chains with many mutually distrusting actors, while highlighting relevant pitfalls and challenges—details that are still missing in related work. Our designs ensure that sensed data is securely transmitted and stored, and can be verified by all parties. To prove practical feasibility, we evaluate the most elaborate design with regard to performance, cost, deployment, and also trust implications on the basis of prevalent (mis)use cases. Our work enables a notion of secure end-to-end sensing with minimal trust across the system stack, even for complex and opaque supply chain networks. blockchain technology; reliability; security; trust management; trusted computing; trusted execution environments internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2024/2024-pennekamp-secure-sensing.pdf 2169-3536 10.1109/ACCESS.2024.3350778 1 JanPennekamp FritzAlder LennartBader GianlucaScopelliti KlausWehrle Jan TobiasMühlberg inproceedings 2024-dahlmanns-fps 2024 14551 Security configurations remain challenging for trained administrators. Nowadays, due to the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), untrained users operate numerous and heterogeneous Internet-facing services in manifold use case-specific scenarios. In this work, we close the growing gap between the complexity of IoT security configuration and the expertise of the affected users. To this end, we propose ColPSA, a platform for collective and privacy-aware security advice that allows users to optimize their configuration by exchanging information about what security can be realized given their IoT deployment and scenario.

While various dataset generation methods have been proposed, they are often limited and either only generate network traffic or are restricted to a narrow subset of applications. We present Vulcan, a preliminary framework that uses accessibility features to generate datasets by simulating user interactions for an extendable set of applications. It uses behavior profiles that define realistic user behavior and facilitate dataset updates upon changes in software versions, thus reducing the effort required to keep a dataset relevant. Preliminary results show that using accessibility features presents a promising approach to improving the quality of datasets in the HIDS domain.

Today, buyers and sellers must disclose sensitive information on products upfront before the actual manufacturing. However, without a trust relation, this situation is precarious for the involved companies as they fear for their competitiveness. Related work overlooks this issue so far: Existing approaches only protect the information of a single party only, hindering dynamic and on-demand business relationships. To account for the corresponding research gap of inadequately privacy-protected information and to deal with companies without an established trust relation, we pursue the direction of innovative privacy-preserving purchase inquiries that seamlessly integrate into today's established supplier management and procurement processes. Utilizing well-established building blocks from private computing, such as private set intersection and homomorphic encryption, we propose two designs with slightly different privacy and performance implications to securely realize purchase inquiries over the Internet. In particular, we allow buyers to consider more potential sellers without sharing sensitive information and relieve sellers of the burden of repeatedly preparing elaborate yet discarded offers. We demonstrate our approaches' scalability using two real-world use cases from the domain of production technology. Overall, we present deployable designs that offer two-way privacy for purchase inquiries and, in turn, fill a gap that currently hinders establishing dynamic and flexible business relationships. In the future, we expect significantly increasing research activity in this overlooked area to address the needs of an evolving production landscape. bootstrapping procurement; secure industrial collaboration; private set intersection; homomorphic encryption; Internet of Production internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2023/2023-pennekamp-purchase-inquiries.pdf ACM 1533-5399 10.1145/3599968 1 JanPennekamp MarkusDahlmanns FrederikFuhrmann TimoHeutmann AlexanderKreppein DennisGrunert ChristophLange Robert H.Schmitt KlausWehrle inproceedings 2023_bader_reputation-systems 2023 11 Consumers frequently interact with reputation systems to rate products, services, and deliveries. While past research extensively studied different conceptual approaches to realize such systems securely and privacy-preservingly, these concepts are not yet in use in business-to-business environments. In this paper, (1) we thus outline which specific challenges privacy-cautious stakeholders in volatile supply chain networks introduce, (2) give an overview of the diverse landscape of privacy-preserving reputation systems and their properties, and (3) based on well-established concepts from supply chain information systems and cryptography, we further propose an initial concept that accounts for the aforementioned challenges by utilizing fully homomorphic encryption. For future work, we identify the need of evaluating whether novel systems address the supply chain-specific privacy and confidentiality needs.

Moreover, only little technical documentation for these devices is available in machine-readable formats that could facilitate automating porting efforts. Instead, the bulk of documentation comes as print-oriented PDFs. We hence identify a strong need for a processor to access the PDFs and extract their data with a high quality to improve the code generation for embedded software. In this paper, we design and implement a modular processor for extracting detailed datasets from PDF files containing technical documentation using deterministic table processing for thousands of microcontrollers. Namely, we systematically extract device identifiers, interrupt tables, package and pinouts, pin functions, and register maps. In our evaluation, we compare the documentation from STMicro against existing machine-readable sources. Our results show that our processor matches 96.5 % of almost 6 million reference data points, and we further discuss identified issues in both sources. Hence, our tool yields very accurate data with only limited manual effort and can enable and enhance a significant amount of existing and new code generation use cases in the embedded software domain that are currently limited by a lack of machine-readable data sources. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2023/2023-hauser-technical-documents.pdf eScholarship Publishing 2770-5501 10.5070/SR33162446 1 NiklasHauser JanPennekamp article 2023_lamberts_metrics-sok Journal of Systems Research 2023 10 31 3 1 Industrial systems are increasingly threatened by cyberattacks with potentially disastrous consequences. To counter such attacks, industrial intrusion detection systems strive to timely uncover even the most sophisticated breaches. Due to its criticality for society, this fast-growing field attracts researchers from diverse backgrounds, resulting in 130 new detection approaches in 2021 alone. This huge momentum facilitates the exploration of diverse promising paths but likewise risks fragmenting the research landscape and burying promising progress. Consequently, it needs sound and comprehensible evaluations to mitigate this risk and catalyze efforts into sustainable scientific progress with real-world applicability. In this paper, we therefore systematically analyze the evaluation methodologies of this field to understand the current state of industrial intrusion detection research. Our analysis of 609 publications shows that the rapid growth of this research field has positive and negative consequences. While we observe an increased use of public datasets, publications still only evaluate 1.3 datasets on average, and frequently used benchmarking metrics are ambiguous. At the same time, the adoption of newly developed benchmarking metrics sees little advancement. Finally, our systematic analysis enables us to provide actionable recommendations for all actors involved and thus bring the entire research field forward. internet-of-production, rfc https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2023/2023-lamberts-metrics-sok.pdf eScholarship Publishing 2770-5501 10.5070/SR33162445 1 OlavLamberts KonradWolsing EricWagner JanPennekamp JanBauer KlausWehrle MartinHenze inproceedings 2023-kunze-spin-bit-in-the-wild 2023 10 https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2023/2023-kunze-spin-bit-in-the-wild.pdf ACM Proceedings of the Internet Measurement Conference (IMC '23) Internet Measurement Conference 2023 10.1145/3618257.3624844 1 IkeKunze ConstantinSander KlausWehrle inproceedings 2023-sander-quic-ecn 2023 10 legato https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2023/2023-sander-quic-ecn.pdf https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.14273 ACM Proceedings of the Internet Measurement Conference (IMC '23) Internet Measurement Conference 2023 979-8-4007-0382-9/23/10 10.1145/3618257.3624821 1 ConstantinSander IkeKunze LeoBlöcher MikeKosek KlausWehrle inproceedings 2023-wagner-lcn-repel 2023 10 https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2023/2023-wagner-repel.pdf IEEE 48th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN), Daytona Beach, Florida, US Daytona Beach, Florida, US IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN) Oktober 1-5, 2023 accepted en 1 EricWagner NilsRothaug KonradWolsing LennartBader KlausWehrle MartinHenze inproceedings 2023-wolsing-xluuvlab 2023 10 Roughly two-thirds of our planet is covered with water, and so far, the oceans have predominantly been used at their surface for the global transport of our goods and commodities. Today, there is a rising trend toward subsea infrastructures such as pipelines, telecommunication cables, or wind farms which demands potent vehicles for underwater work. To this end, a new generation of vehicles, large and Extra-Large Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (XLUUVs), is currently being engineered that allow for long-range, remotely controlled, and semi-autonomous missions in the deep sea. However, although these vehicles are already heavily developed and demand state-of-the-art communi- cation technologies to realize their autonomy, no dedicated test and development environments exist for research, e.g., to assess the implications on cybersecurity. Therefore, in this paper, we present XLab-UUV, a virtual testbed for XLUUVs that allows researchers to identify novel challenges, possible bottlenecks, or vulnerabilities, as well as to develop effective technologies, protocols, and procedures.

Unsupervised anomaly detectors, capable of learning the expected behavior of physical processes, have proven effective in detecting even novel cyberattacks. While offering decent attack detection, these systems, however, still suffer from too many False-Positive Alarms (FPAs) that operators need to investigate, eventually leading to alarm fatigue. To address this issue, in this paper, we challenge the notion of relying on a single IIDS and explore the benefits of combining multiple IIDSs. To this end, we examine the concept of ensemble learning, where a collection of classifiers (IIDSs in our case) are combined to optimize attack detection and reduce FPAs. While training ensembles for supervised classifiers is relatively straightforward, retaining the unsupervised nature of IIDSs proves challenging. In that regard, novel time-aware ensemble methods that incorporate temporal correlations between alerts and transfer-learning to best utilize the scarce training data constitute viable solutions. By combining diverse IIDSs, the detection performance can be improved beyond the individual approaches with close to no FPAs, resulting in a promising path for strengthening ICS cybersecurity.

These requirements further mandate that modifications to the context need to be recorded. To be (re-)used at all, the data must be easily findable in the first place, which requires arbitrary filtering and searching routines. Following the FAIR guiding principles, fostering findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) data, in this paper, the FAIR Sensor Ecosystem is proposed, which provides a contextualization middleware based on a unified data metamodel. All information and relations which might change over time are versioned and associated with temporal validity intervals to enable full reconstruction of a system's state at any point in time. A technical validation demonstrates the correctness of the FAIR Sensor Ecosystem, including its contextualization model and filtering techniques. State-of-the-art FAIRness assessment frameworks rate the proposed FAIR Sensor Ecosystem with an average FAIRness of 71%. The obtained rating can be considered remarkable, as deductions mainly result from the lack of fully appropriate FAIRness metrics and the absence of relevant community standards for the domain of the manufacturing industry.

The containerization framework Docker eases the use of this concept and enables sharing images publicly, gaining high momentum. However, it can lead to users creating and sharing images that include private keys or API secrets—either by mistake or out of negligence. This leakage impairs the creator's security and that of everyone using the image. Yet, the extent of this practice and how to counteract it remains unclear. In this paper, we analyze 337,171 images from Docker Hub and 8,076 other private registries unveiling that 8.5% of images indeed include secrets. Specifically, we find 52,107 private keys and 3,158 leaked API secrets, both opening a large attack surface, i.e., putting authentication and confidentiality of privacy-sensitive data at stake and even allow active attacks. We further document that those leaked keys are used in the wild: While we discovered 1,060 certificates relying on compromised keys being issued by public certificate authorities, based on further active Internet measurements, we find 275,269 TLS and SSH hosts using leaked private keys for authentication. To counteract this issue, we discuss how our methodology can be used to prevent secret leakage and reuse. network security; security configuration; secret leakage; container ven2us, internet-of-production, https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2023/2023-dahlmanns-asiaccs.pdf ACM Proceedings of the 2023 ACM Asia Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ASIACCS '23), July 10-14, 2023, Melbourne, VIC, Australia Melbourne, VIC, Australia ASIA CCS '23 July 10-14, 2023 979-8-4007-0098-9/23/07 10.1145/3579856.3590329 1 MarkusDahlmanns ConstantinSander RobinDecker KlausWehrle article Jakobs_2023_3 European Intellectual Property Review 2023 7 45 7 371-375 It has long been recognized in Europe and elsewhere that standards-development organizations (SDOs) may adopt policies that require their participants to license patents essential to the SDO’s standards (standards-essential patents or SEPs) to manufacturers of standardized products (“implementers”) on a royalty-free (RF) basis. This requirement contrasts with SDO policies that permit SEP holders to charge implementers monetary patent royalties, sometimes on terms that are specified as “fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory” (FRAND). As demonstrated by two decades of intensive litigation around the world, FRAND royalties have given rise to intractable disputes regarding the manner in which such royalties should be calculated and adjudicated. In contrast, standards distributed on an RF basis are comparatively free from litigation and the attendant transaction costs. Accordingly, numerous SDOs around the world have adopted RF licensing policies and many widely adopted standards, including Bluetooth, USB, IPv6, HTTP, HTML and XML, are distributed on an RF basis. This note briefly discusses the commercial considerations surrounding RF standards, the relationship between RF standards and open source software (OSS) and the SDO policy mechanisms – including “universal reciprocity” -- that enable RF licensing to succeed in the marketplace. 0142-0461 10.2139/ssrn.4235647 1 JorgeContreras RudiBekkers BradBiddle EnricoBonadio Michael A.Carrier BernardChao CharlesDuan RichardGilbert JoachimHenkel ErikHovenkamp MartinHusovec KaiJakobs Dong-hyuKim Mark A.Lemley Brian J.Love LukeMcDonagh Fiona M.Scott Morton JasonSchultz TimothySimcoe Jennifer M.Urban Joy YXiang book Jakobs_2023_2 2023 7 18 Jakobs, Kai Mainz Publishers EURAS contributions to standardisation research 9783958864917 1 KaiJakobs inproceedings 2023_pennekamp_benchmarking_comparison 2023 6 15 13901 489-505 Benchmarking is an essential tool for industrial organizations to identify potentials that allows them to improve their competitive position through operational and strategic means. However, the handling of sensitive information, in terms of (i) internal company data and (ii) the underlying algorithm to compute the benchmark, demands strict (technical) confidentiality guarantees—an aspect that existing approaches fail to address adequately. Still, advances in private computing provide us with building blocks to reliably secure even complex computations and their inputs, as present in industry benchmarks. In this paper, we thus compare two promising and fundamentally different concepts (hardware- and software-based) to realize privacy-preserving benchmarks. Thereby, we provide detailed insights into the concept-specific benefits. Our evaluation of two real-world use cases from different industries underlines that realizing and deploying secure information systems for industry benchmarking is possible with today's building blocks from private computing.

Consequently, it requires a technical infrastructure that can support the agile deployment of these concepts and corresponding high-level applications, which, e.g., demand the processing of massive data in motion and at rest. As such, key research aspects are the support for low-latency control loops, concepts on scalable data stream processing, deployable information security, and semantically rich and efficient long-term storage. In particular, such an infrastructure cannot continue to be limited to machines and sensors, but additionally needs to encompass networked environments: production cells, edge computing, and location-independent cloud infrastructures. Finally, in light of the envisioned WWL, i.e., the interconnection of production sites, the technical infrastructure must be advanced to support secure and privacy-preserving industrial collaboration. To evolve today’s production sites and lay the infrastructural foundation for the IoP, we identify five broad streams of research: (1) adapting data and stream processing to heterogeneous data from distributed sources, (2) ensuring data interoperability between systems and production sites, (3) exchanging and sharing data with different stakeholders, (4) network security approaches addressing the risks of increasing interconnectivity, and (5) security architectures to enable secure and privacy-preserving industrial collaboration. With our research, we evolve the underlying infrastructure from isolated, sparsely networked production sites toward an architecture that supports high-level applications and sophisticated digital shadows while facilitating the transition toward a WWL.

Digital shadows enable a more comprehensive understanding and monitoring of processes on shop floor level. Thus, process information becomes available between decision levels, and the aforementioned criteria regarding quality, cost, or safety can be included in control decisions for production processes. The contextual data for digital shadows typically arises from heterogeneous sources. At shop floor level, the proximity to the process requires usage of available data as well as domain knowledge. Data sources need to be selected, synchronized, and processed. Especially high-frequency data requires algorithms for intelligent distribution and efficient filtering of the main information using real-time devices and in-network computing. Real-time data is enriched by simulations, metadata from product planning, and information across the whole process chain. Well-established analytical and empirical models serve as the base for new hybrid, gray box approaches. These models are then applied to optimize production process control by maximizing the productivity under given quality and safety constraints. To store and reuse the developed models, ontologies are developed and a data lake infrastructure is utilized and constantly enlarged laying the basis for a World Wide Lab (WWL). Finally, closing the control loop requires efficient quality assessment, immediately after the process and directly on the machine.

Since assembly is considered a main cost driver and accounts for a major part of production time, research focuses on new technologies in assembly. The paradigm of Line-less Mobile Assembly Systems (LMAS) provides a solution for the future of assembly by mobilizing all resources. Thus, dynamic product routes through spatiotemporally configured assembly stations on a shop floor free of fixed obstacles are enabled. In this chapter, we present research focal points on different levels of LMAS, starting with the macroscopic level of formation planning, followed by the mesoscopic level of mobile robot control and multipurpose input devices and the microscopic level of services, such as interpreting autonomous decisions and in-network computing. We provide cross-level data and knowledge transfer through a novel ontology-based knowledge management. Overall, our work contributes to future safe and predictable human-robot collaboration in dynamic LMAS stations based on accurate online formation and motion planning of mobile robots, novel human-machine interfaces and networking technologies, as well as trustworthy AI-based decisions.

Today, the very definition of telecommunication has changed. First, the traffic is no longer confined to voice and/or limited data services. Second, the boundary line between telecommunication and information sectors is increasingly blurred. Third, the parties that offer products and services for consumers, businesses and industrial users operate under different regulatory regimes, ranging from strict regulations to no regulations at all. Fourth, the merging of the physical and virtual worlds through immersive technologies opens new social, cultural and business dimensions. Finally, the post-covid environment has opened unprecedented avenues for virtual workplaces (E-work). 10.1109/MCOM.2023.10192269 EvaIbarrola KaiJakobs Mostafa HashemSherif DuncanSparrell article Jakobs_2023_5 Standardization: Journal of Research and Innovation 2023 2 4 16-26 10.58831/2831-7920-2.4.16 KaiJakobs inproceedings 2023-lorz-cired 2023 3286-3290 ven2us 27th International Conference on Electricity Distribution (CIRED 2023), Rome, Italy, June 12-15, 2023 Rome, Italy International Conference & Exhibition on Electricity Distribution (CIRED) June 12-15, 2023 10.1049/icp.2023.0864 1 TobiasLorz JohannJaeger AntigonaSelimaj ImmanuelHacker AndreasUlbig Jan-PeterHeckel ChristianBecker MarkusDahlmanns Ina BereniceFink KlausWehrle GerritErichsen MichaelSchindler RainerLuxenburger GuosongLin inproceedings 2022_kus_ensemble 2022 12 8 RWTH-2022-10809 Industrial intrusion detection promises to protect networked industrial control systems by monitoring them and raising an alarm in case of suspicious behavior. Many monolithic intrusion detection systems are proposed in literature. These detectors are often specialized and, thus, work particularly well on certain types of attacks or monitor different parts of the system, e.g., the network or the physical process. Combining multiple such systems promises to leverage their joint strengths, allowing the detection of a wider range of attacks due to their diverse specializations and reducing false positives. We study this concept's feasibility with initial results of various methods to combine detectors. rfc https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-kus-ensemble-poster.pdf RWTH Aachen University 38th Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC '22), December 5-9, 2022, Austin, TX, USA RWTH Aachen University Austin, TX, USA 38th Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC '22) December 5-9, 2022 10.18154/RWTH-2022-10809 1 DominikKus KonradWolsing JanPennekamp EricWagner MartinHenze KlausWehrle inproceedings 2022_pennekamp_cumul 2022 12 8 RWTH-2022-10811 Anonymous communication on the Internet is about hiding the relationship between communicating parties. At NDSS '16, we presented a new website fingerprinting approach, CUMUL, that utilizes novel features and a simple yet powerful algorithm to attack anonymization networks such as Tor. Based on pattern observation of data flows, this attack aims at identifying the content of encrypted and anonymized connections. Apart from the feature generation and the used classifier, we also provided a large dataset to the research community to study the attack at Internet scale. In this paper, we emphasize the impact of our artifacts by analyzing publications referring to our work with respect to the dataset, feature extraction method, and source code of the implementation. Based on this data, we draw conclusions about the impact of our artifacts on the research field and discuss their influence on related cybersecurity topics. Overall, from 393 unique citations, we discover more than 130 academic references that utilize our artifacts, 61 among them are highly influential (according to SemanticScholar), and at least 35 are from top-ranked security venues.

To reveal such attacks early and prevent any damage, industrial intrusion detection searches for anomalies in otherwise predictable communication or process behavior. However, current efforts mostly focus on specific domains and protocols, leading to a research landscape broken up into isolated silos. Thus, existing approaches cannot be applied to other industries that would equally benefit from powerful detection. To better understand this issue, we survey 53 detection systems and find no fundamental reason for their narrow focus. Although they are often coupled to specific industrial protocols in practice, many approaches could generalize to new industrial scenarios in theory. To unlock this potential, we propose IPAL, our industrial protocol abstraction layer, to decouple intrusion detection from domain-specific industrial protocols. After proving IPAL’s correctness in a reproducibility study of related work, we showcase its unique benefits by studying the generalizability of existing approaches to new datasets and conclude that they are indeed not restricted to specific domains or protocols and can perform outside their restricted silos. /fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-wolsing-ipal.pdf Proceedings of the 25th International Symposium on Research in Attacks, Intrusions and Defenses (RAID 2022) 10.1145/3545948.3545968 1 KonradWolsing EricWagner AntoineSaillard MartinHenze inproceedings 2022-rechenberg-cim 2022 10 Maritime Cybersecurity, Intrusion Detection System, Integrated Bridge System, IEC 61162-450, NMEA 0183 https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-rechenberg-guiding.pdf https://zenodo.org/record/7148794 Zenodo European Workshop on Maritime Systems Resilience and Security (MARESEC 2022) Bremerhaven, Germany 10.5281/zenodo.7148794 1 Merlinvon Rechenberg NinaRößler MariSchmidt KonradWolsing FlorianMotz MichaelBergmann ElmarPadilla JanBauer article 2022-jakobs-technologytransfer The Journal of Technology Transfer 2022 9 12 Theoretical models suggest that standardisation activities in the market may be too high or too low with respect to the market optimum. This paper investigates the association of standardisation engagement with firms'performance as indirect evidence of a sub-optimal level of market standardisation activities. Anecdotal evidence has it that firms can benefit from engagement in standardisation activities, but large quantitative studies on this topic are rather scarce. Based on a large innovation survey, this paper implements matching models to compare outcomes of firms with similar features but different standardisation activities. The outcomes of interest are several measures of innovation and growth. Standardisers and non-standardisers are matched onto a rich set of control variables. Firms engaged in standardisation have better innovation performance than firms with no such activities. However, the results for the performance measures are rather mixed, showing no association or negative association with labour productivity measures. Heteroscedasticity-based instruments mitigate possible endogeneity issues. These results can be interpreted as indirect evidence of low standardisation activity in the market, possibly due to long payback periods and appropriability issues of the standardisation investment. 10.1007/s10961-022-09951-z 1 Cesare Antonio FabioRiillo KaiJakobs inproceedings 2022_lohmoeller_sovereignty 2022 9 5 3306 51-63 Data ecosystems are the foundation of emerging data-driven business models as they (i) enable an automated exchange between their participants and (ii) provide them with access to huge and heterogeneous data sources. However, the corresponding benefits come with unforeseen risks as also sensitive information is potentially exposed. Consequently, data security is of utmost importance and, thus, a central requirement for the successful implementation of these ecosystems. Current initiatives, such as IDS and GAIA-X, hence foster sovereign participation via a federated infrastructure where participants retain local control. However, these designs place significant trust in remote infrastructure by mostly implementing organizational security measures such as certification processes prior to admission of a participant. At the same time, due to the sensitive nature of involved data, participants are incentivized to bypass security measures to maximize their own benefit: In practice, this issue significantly weakens sovereignty guarantees. In this paper, we hence claim that data ecosystems must be extended with technical means to reestablish such guarantees. To underpin our position, we analyze promising building blocks and identify three core research directions toward stronger data sovereignty, namely trusted remote policy enforcement, verifiable data tracking, and integration of resource-constrained participants. We conclude that these directions are critical to securely implement data ecosystems in data-sensitive contexts. internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-lohmoeller-deco.pdf CEUR Workshop Proceedings Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Data Ecosystems (DEco '22), co-located with the 48th International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB '22), September 5-9, 2022, Sydney, Australia, Sydney, Australia International Workshop on Data Ecosystems (DEco '22) September 5, 2022 1613-0073 1 JohannesLohmöller JanPennekamp RomanMatzutt KlausWehrle article 2022-henze-tii-prada IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing 2022 9 10 3 1661-1674 In past years, cloud storage systems saw an enormous rise in usage. However, despite their popularity and importance as underlying infrastructure for more complex cloud services, today’s cloud storage systems do not account for compliance with regulatory, organizational, or contractual data handling requirements by design. Since legislation increasingly responds to rising data protection and privacy concerns, complying with data handling requirements becomes a crucial property for cloud storage systems. We present Prada , a practical approach to account for compliance with data handling requirements in key-value based cloud storage systems. To achieve this goal, Prada introduces a transparent data handling layer, which empowers clients to request specific data handling requirements and enables operators of cloud storage systems to comply with them. We implement Prada on top of the distributed database Cassandra and show in our evaluation that complying with data handling requirements in cloud storage systems is practical in real-world cloud deployments as used for microblogging, data sharing in the Internet of Things, and distributed email storage. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-henze-tii-prada.pdf Online en 2168-7161 10.1109/TCC.2020.3000336 1 MartinHenze RomanMatzutt JensHiller ErikMühmer Jan HenrikZiegeldorf Johannesvan der Giet KlausWehrle proceedings 2022-wolsing-radarsec 2022 9 rfc https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-wolsing-radar.pdf IEEE Edmonton, Canada 47th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN) September 26-29, 2022 10.1109/LCN53696.2022.9843801 1 KonradWolsing AntoineSaillard JanBauer EricWagner Christianvan Sloun Ina BereniceFink MariSchmidt KlausWehrle MartinHenze inproceedings 2022-wolsing-simple 2022 9 978-3-031-17143-7 574--594 Cyberattacks against industrial control systems pose a serious risk to the safety of humans and the environment. Industrial intrusion detection systems oppose this threat by continuously monitoring industrial processes and alerting any deviations from learned normal behavior. To this end, various streams of research rely on advanced and complex approaches, i.e., artificial neural networks, thus achieving allegedly high detection rates. However, as we show in an analysis of 70 approaches from related work, their inherent complexity comes with undesired properties. For example, they exhibit incomprehensible alarms and models only specialized personnel can understand, thus limiting their broad applicability in a heterogeneous industrial domain. Consequentially, we ask whether industrial intrusion detection indeed has to be complex or can be SIMPLE instead, i.e., Sufficient to detect most attacks, Independent of hyperparameters to dial-in, Meaningful in model and alerts, Portable to other industrial domains, Local to a part of the physical process, and computationally Efficient. To answer this question, we propose our design of four SIMPLE industrial intrusion detection systems, such as simple tests for the minima and maxima of process values or the rate at which process values change. Our evaluation of these SIMPLE approaches on four state-of-the-art industrial security datasets reveals that SIMPLE approaches can perform on par with existing complex approaches from related work while simultaneously being comprehensible and easily portable to other scenarios. Thus, it is indeed justified to raise the question of whether industrial intrusion detection needs to be inherently complex. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-wolsing-simple.pdf Atluri, Vijayalakshmi and Di Pietro, Roberto and Jensen, Christian D. and Meng, Weizhi Springer Nature Switzerland Proceedings of the 27th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS '22), September 26-30, 2022, Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark 27th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS) September 26-30, 2022 10.1007/978-3-031-17143-7_28 1 KonradWolsing LeaThiemt Christianvan Sloun EricWagner KlausWehrle MartinHenze proceedings 2022-serror-cset 2022 8 8 5 data sets, network traffic, smart grid security, IDS https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-serror-cset-powerduck.pdf ACM

Consequently, to ensure end-to-end secure communication and authentication, (i) traditional industrial protocols, e.g., Modbus, are retrofitted with TLS support, and (ii) modern protocols, e.g., MQTT, are directly designed to use TLS. To understand whether these changes indeed lead to secure Industrial Internet of Things deployments, i.e., using TLS-based protocols, which are configured according to security best practices, we perform an Internet-wide security assessment of ten industrial protocols covering the complete IPv4 address space. Our results show that both, retrofitted existing protocols and newly developed secure alternatives, are barely noticeable in the wild. While we find that new protocols have a higher TLS adoption rate than traditional protocols (7.2 % vs. 0.4 %), the overall adoption of TLS is comparably low (6.5 % of hosts). Thus, most industrial deployments (934,736 hosts) are insecurely connected to the Internet. Furthermore, we identify that 42 % of hosts with TLS support (26,665 hosts) show security deficits, e.g., missing access control. Finally, we show that support in configuring systems securely, e.g., via configuration templates, is promising to strengthen security. industrial communication; network security; security configuration internet-of-production, rfc https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-dahlmanns-asiaccs.pdf ACM Proceedings of the 2022 ACM Asia Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ASIACCS '22), May 30-June 3, 2022, Nagasaki, Japan Nagasaki, Japan ASIACCS '22 May 30-June 3, 2022 978-1-4503-9140-5/22/05 10.1145/3488932.3497762 1 MarkusDahlmanns JohannesLohmöller JanPennekamp JörnBodenhausen KlausWehrle MartinHenze inproceedings 2022_kus_iids_generalizability 2022 5 30 73-84 Anomaly-based intrusion detection promises to detect novel or unknown attacks on industrial control systems by modeling expected system behavior and raising corresponding alarms for any deviations. As manually creating these behavioral models is tedious and error-prone, research focuses on machine learning to train them automatically, achieving detection rates upwards of 99 %. However, these approaches are typically trained not only on benign traffic but also on attacks and then evaluated against the same type of attack used for training. Hence, their actual, real-world performance on unknown (not trained on) attacks remains unclear. In turn, the reported near-perfect detection rates of machine learning-based intrusion detection might create a false sense of security. To assess this situation and clarify the real potential of machine learning-based industrial intrusion detection, we develop an evaluation methodology and examine multiple approaches from literature for their performance on unknown attacks (excluded from training). Our results highlight an ineffectiveness in detecting unknown attacks, with detection rates dropping to between 3.2 % and 14.7 % for some types of attacks. Moving forward, we derive recommendations for further research on machine learning-based approaches to ensure clarity on their ability to detect unknown attacks. anomaly detection; machine learning; industrial control system internet-of-production, rfc https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-kus-iids-generalizability.pdf ACM Proceedings of the 8th ACM Cyber-Physical System Security Workshop (CPSS '22), co-located with the 17th ACM ASIA Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ASIACCS '22), May 30-June 3, 2022, Nagasaki, Japan 978-1-4503-9176-4/22/05 10.1145/3494107.3522773 1 DominikKus EricWagner JanPennekamp KonradWolsing Ina BereniceFink MarkusDahlmanns KlausWehrle MartinHenze inproceedings WagnerSWH2022 2022 5 18 201-206 /fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-wagner-bpmac.pdf ACM Proceedings of the 15th ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (WiSec '22) San Antonio, Texas, USA 15th ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (WiSec '22) 978-1-4503-9216-7/22/05 10.1145/3507657.3528554 1 EricWagner MartinSerror KlausWehrle MartinHenze inproceedings WagnerBH2022 2022 5 18 207-221 /fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-wagner-r2d2.pdf ACM Proceedings of the 15th ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (WiSec '22) San Antonio, Texas, USA 15th ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (WiSec '22) 978-1-4503-9216-7/22/05 10.1145/3507657.3528539 1 EricWagner JanBauer MartinHenze inproceedings 2022_wagner_ccchain 2022 5 4 Blockchain technology promises to overcome trust and privacy concerns inherent to centralized information sharing. However, current decentralized supply chain management systems do either not meet privacy and scalability requirements or require a trustworthy consortium, which is challenging for increasingly dynamic supply chains with constantly changing participants. In this paper, we propose CCChain, a scalable and privacy-aware supply chain management system that stores all information locally to give companies complete sovereignty over who accesses their data. Still, tamper protection of all data through a permissionless blockchain enables on-demand tracking and tracing of products as well as reliable information sharing while affording the detection of data inconsistencies. Our evaluation confirms that CCChain offers superior scalability in comparison to alternatives while also enabling near real-time tracking and tracing for many, less complex products. supply chain management; blockchain; permissionless; deployment; tracing and tracking; privacy internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-wagner-ccchain.pdf IEEE Proceedings of the 2022 IEEE International Conference on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency (ICBC '22), May 2-5, 2022, Shanghai, China Shanghai, China May 2-5, 2022 978-1-6654-9538-7/22 10.1109/ICBC54727.2022.9805503 1 EricWagner RomanMatzutt JanPennekamp LennartBader IrakliBajelidze KlausWehrle MartinHenze inproceedings 2022_matzutt_redactchain 2022 5 3 Blockchains gained tremendous attention for their capability to provide immutable and decentralized event ledgers that can facilitate interactions between mutually distrusting parties. However, precisely this immutability and the openness of permissionless blockchains raised concerns about the consequences of illicit content being irreversibly stored on them. Related work coined the notion of redactable blockchains, which allow for removing illicit content from their history without affecting the blockchain's integrity. While honest users can safely prune identified content, current approaches either create trust issues by empowering fixed third parties to rewrite history, cannot react quickly to reported content due to using lengthy public votings, or create large per-redaction overheads. In this paper, we instead propose to outsource redactions to small and periodically exchanged juries, whose members can only jointly redact transactions using chameleon hash functions and threshold cryptography. Multiple juries are active at the same time to swiftly redact reported content. They oversee their activities via a global redaction log, which provides transparency and allows for appealing and reversing a rogue jury's decisions. Hence, our approach establishes a framework for the swift and transparent moderation of blockchain content. Our evaluation shows that our moderation scheme can be realized with feasible per-block and per-redaction overheads, i.e., the redaction capabilities do not impede the blockchain's normal operation. redactable blockchain; illicit content; chameleon hash functions; threshold cryptography mynedata; impact-digital; digital-campus https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-matzutt-redactchain.pdf IEEE Proceedings of the 2022 IEEE International Conference on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency (ICBC '22), May 2-5, 2022, Shanghai, China Shanghai, China May 2-5, 2022 978-1-6654-9538-7/22 10.1109/ICBC54727.2022.9805508 1 RomanMatzutt VincentAhlrichs JanPennekamp RomanKarwacik KlausWehrle article 2022_brauner_iop ACM Transactions on Internet of Things 2022 5 1 3 2 The Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) promises significant improvements for the manufacturing industry by facilitating the integration of manufacturing systems by Digital Twins. However, ecological and economic demands also require a cross-domain linkage of multiple scientific perspectives from material sciences, engineering, operations, business, and ergonomics, as optimization opportunities can be derived from any of these perspectives. To extend the IIoT to a true Internet of Production, two concepts are required: first, a complex, interrelated network of Digital Shadows which combine domain-specific models with data-driven AI methods; and second, the integration of a large number of research labs, engineering, and production sites as a World Wide Lab which offers controlled exchange of selected, innovation-relevant data even across company boundaries. In this article, we define the underlying Computer Science challenges implied by these novel concepts in four layers: Smart human interfaces provide access to information that has been generated by model-integrated AI. Given the large variety of manufacturing data, new data modeling techniques should enable efficient management of Digital Shadows, which is supported by an interconnected infrastructure. Based on a detailed analysis of these challenges, we derive a systematized research roadmap to make the vision of the Internet of Production a reality.

AIS messages are transmitted as broadcasts to nearby ships and contain, among others, information about the identification, position, speed, and course of the sending vessels. AIS can thus serve as a tool to avoid collisions and increase onboard situational awareness. In recent years, AIS has been utilized in more and more applications since it enables worldwide surveillance of virtually any larger vessel and has the potential to greatly support vessel traffic services and collision risk assessment. Anomalies in AIS tracks can indicate events that are relevant in terms of safety and also security. With a plethora of accessible AIS data nowadays, there is a growing need for the automatic detection of anomalous AIS data. In this paper, we survey 44 research articles on anomaly detection of maritime AIS tracks. We identify the tackled AIS anomaly types, assess their potential use cases, and closely examine the landscape of recent AIS anomaly research as well as their limitations. automatic identification system; AIS; anomaly detection; maritime safety; maritime security; maritime surveillance https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-wolsing-aistracks.pdf https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1312/10/1/112 en 10.3390/jmse10010112 1 KonradWolsing LinusRoepert JanBauer KlausWehrle article 2022-jakobs-ieeetem IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management 2022 1-12 Common standards are essential for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Several studies suggest that (almost) all standardization working groups (WGs) are dominated by large firms and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and are typically marginalized. However, SMEs account for around 99% of all enterprises in the EU; their active participation in the standardization process would thus be crucial to develop ICT standards that meet the needs of the vast majority of their users. This article first discusses the current situation of SMEs in ICT standardization and the associated issues. Second, it conducts an econometric analysis to investigate the drivers of the use of ICT standards and engagement in ICT standardization based on a large and representative survey from Luxembourg. Regardless of their size, firms that actually and consciously deploy ICT standards in their core business are much more prepared to participate in standards-setting actively than those that do not. The article also proposes a way to exploit this correlation. The resulting implications for standards-setting organizations and policymakers are discussedn. 10.1109/TEM.2022.3226121 1 Cesare Antonio FabioRiillo KaiJakobs proceedings 2022-jakobs-euras 2022 17 Kai Jakobs Mainz Publishers EURAS Contributions to Standardisation Research Glasgow 26th EURAS Annual Standardisation Conference June 8-10 2022 978-3-95886-446-7 KaiJakobs inproceedings lorenz-ven2us-2022 2022 Power grids are increasingly faced with the introduction of decentralized, highly volatile power supplies from renewable energies and high loads occurring from e-mobility. However, today’s static grid protection cannot manage all upcoming conditions while providing a high level of dependability and security. It forms a bottleneck of a future decarbonizing grid development. In our research project, we develop and verify an adaptive grid protection algorithm. It calculates situation dependent protection parameters for the event of power flow shifts and topology changes caused by volatile power supplies due to the increase of renewable generation and the rapid expansion of e-mobility. As a result the distribution grid can be operated with the optimally adapted protection parameters and functions for changing operating states. To safely adjust the values on protection hardware in the field, i.e., safe from hardware failures and cyberattacks, we research resilient and secure communication concepts for the adaptive and interconnected grid protection system. Finally, we validate our concept and system by demonstrations in the laboratory and field tests. ven2us Proceedings of the CIRED workshop on E-mobility and power distribution systems 2022, June 2-3, 2022, Porto, Portugal Porto CIRED workshop on E-mobility and power distribution systems 2022 June 2-3, 2022 10.1049/icp.2022.0768 1 MatthiasLorenz Tobias MarkusPletzer MalteSchuhmacher TorstenSowa MichaelDahms SimonStock DavoodBabazadeh ChristianBecker JohannJaeger TobiasLorz MarkusDahlmanns Ina BereniceFink KlausWehrle AndreasUlbig PhilippLinnartz AntigonaSelimaj ThomasOffergeld inproceedings 2021_pennekamp_laser 2021 12 21 Following the recent Internet of Things-induced trends on digitization in general, industrial applications will further evolve as well. With a focus on the domains of manufacturing and production, the Internet of Production pursues the vision of a digitized, globally interconnected, yet secure environment by establishing a distributed knowledge base. Background. As part of our collaborative research of advancing the scope of industrial applications through cybersecurity and privacy, we identified a set of common challenges and pitfalls that surface in such applied interdisciplinary collaborations. Aim. Our goal with this paper is to support researchers in the emerging field of cybersecurity in industrial settings by formalizing our experiences as reference for other research efforts, in industry and academia alike. Method. Based on our experience, we derived a process cycle of performing such interdisciplinary research, from the initial idea to the eventual dissemination and paper writing. This presented methodology strives to successfully bootstrap further research and to encourage further work in this emerging area. Results. Apart from our newly proposed process cycle, we report on our experiences and conduct a case study applying this methodology, raising awareness for challenges in cybersecurity research for industrial applications. We further detail the interplay between our process cycle and the data lifecycle in applied research data management. Finally, we augment our discussion with an industrial as well as an academic view on this research area and highlight that both areas still have to overcome significant challenges to sustainably and securely advance industrial applications. Conclusions. With our proposed process cycle for interdisciplinary research in the intersection of cybersecurity and industrial application, we provide a foundation for further research. We look forward to promising research initiatives, projects, and directions that emerge based on our methodological work. internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2021/2021-pennekamp-laser-collaboration.pdf ACSA Proceedings of the Workshop on Learning from Authoritative Security Experiment Results (LASER '20), co-located with the 36th Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC '20), December 7-11, 2020, Austin, TX, USA Austin, TX, USA Learning from Authoritative Security Experiment Results (LASER '20) December 8, 2020 978-1-891562-81-5 10.14722/laser-acsac.2020.23088 1 JanPennekamp ErikBuchholz MarkusDahlmanns IkeKunze StefanBraun EricWagner MatthiasBrockmann KlausWehrle MartinHenze inproceedings 2021_kiesel_5g 2021 12 15 739-744 Latency-critical applications in production promise to be essential enablers for performance improvement in production. However, they require the right and often wireless communication system. 5G technology appears to be an effective way to achieve communication system for these applications. Its estimated economic benefit on production gross domestic product is immense ($740 billion Euro until 2030). However, 55% of production companies state that 5G technology deployment is currently not a subject matter for them and mainly state the lack of knowledge on benefits as a reason. Currently, it is missing an approach or model for a use case specific, data-based evaluation of 5G technology influence on the performance of production applications. Therefore, this paper presents a model to evaluate the potential of 5G technology for latency-critical applications in production. First, we derive requirements for the model to fulfill the decision-makers' needs. Second, we analyze existing evaluation approaches regarding their fulfillment of the derived requirements. Third, based on outlined research gaps, we develop a model fulfilling the requirements.

The exchange of nautical data, e.g., geographical positions, is usually implemented using multicast network communication without security measures, which poses serious risks to the authenticity and integrity of transmitted data. In this paper, we introduce digital SIGnatures for MARitime systems (SIGMAR), a low-cost solution to seamlessly retrofit authentication of nautical data based on asymmetric cryptography. Extending the existing IEC 61162-450 protocol makes it is possible to build a backward-compatible authentication mechanism that prevents common cyber attacks. The development was successfully accompanied by permanent investigations in a bridge simulation environment, including a maritime cyber attack generator. We demonstrate SIGMAR’s feasibility by introducing a proof-of-concept implementation on low-cost and low-resource hardware and present a performance analysis of our approach.

Although modern WFP attacks pose a serious threat to online privacy of users, including Tor users, they usually aim to detect single pages only. By ignoring the browsing behavior of users, the attacker excludes valuable information: users visit multiple pages of a single website consecutively, e.g., by following links. In this paper, we propose two novel methods that can take advantage of the consecutive visits of multiple pages to detect websites. We show that two up to three clicks within a site allow attackers to boost the accuracy by more than 20% and to dramatically increase the threat to users' privacy. We argue that WFP defenses have to consider this new dimension of the attack surface.

Today, despite reservation, sensitive information must be shared upfront between buyers and sellers. However, without a trust relation, this situation is precarious for the involved companies as they fear for their competitiveness following information leaks or breaches of their privacy. To address this issue, the concepts of confidential computing and cloud computing come to mind as they promise to offer scalable approaches that preserve the privacy of participating companies. In particular, designs building on confidential computing can help to technically enforce privacy. Moreover, cloud computing constitutes an elegant design choice to scale these novel protocols to industry needs while limiting the setup and management overhead for practitioners. Thus, novel approaches in this area can advance the status quo of bootstrapping new relationships as they provide privacy-preserving alternatives that are suitable for immediate deployment. bootstrapping procurement; business relationships; secure industrial collaboration; privacy; Internet of Production internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2021/2021-pennekamp-bootstrapping.pdf RWTH Aachen University Blitz Talk at the 2021 Cloud Computing Security Workshop (CCSW '21), co-located with the 28th ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS '21), November 15-19, 2021, Seoul, Korea RWTH Aachen University Seoul, Korea November 14, 2021 10.18154/RWTH-2021-09499 JanPennekamp FrederikFuhrmann MarkusDahlmanns TimoHeutmann AlexanderKreppein DennisGrunert ChristophLange Robert H.Schmitt KlausWehrle inproceedings 2021-sander-shardingrevisited 2021 11 2 legato /fileadmin/papers/2021/2021-sander-sharding-revisited.pdf https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.14239 ACM Proceedings of the Internet Measurement Conference (IMC '21) Internet Measurement Conference 2021 02.11.21 - 04.11.21 978-1-4503-9129-0/21/11 10.1145/3487552.3487832 1 ConstantinSander LeoBlöcher KlausWehrle JanRüth article 2021_kretschmer_cookies ACM Transactions on the Web 2021 11 1 15 4 The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is in effect since May of 2018. As one of the most comprehensive pieces of legislation concerning privacy, it sparked a lot of discussion on the effect it would have on users and providers of online services in particular, due to the large amount of personal data processed in this context. Almost three years later, we are interested in revisiting this question to summarize the impact this new regulation has had on actors in the World Wide Web. Using Scopus, we obtain a vast corpus of academic work to survey studies related to changes on websites since and around the time, the GDPR went into force. Our findings show that the emphasis on privacy increased w.r.t. online services, but plenty potential for improvements remains. Although online services are on average more transparent regarding data processing practices in their public data policies, a majority of these policies still either lack information required by the GDPR (e.g., contact information for users to file privacy inquiries), or do not provide this information in a user-friendly form. Additionally, we summarize that online services more often provide means for their users to opt out of data processing, but regularly obstruct convenient access to such means through unnecessarily complex and sometimes illegitimate interface design. Our survey further details that this situation contradicts the preferences expressed by users both verbally and through their actions, and researchers have proposed multiple approaches to facilitate GDPR-conform data processing without negatively impacting the user experience. Thus, we compiled reoccurring points of criticism by privacy researchers and data protection authorities into a list of four guidelines for service providers to consider.

Furthermore, research discovered that proposed defenses are insufficient or cause high overhead. In previous work, we presented a new WFP defense for Tor that incorporates multipath transmissions to repel malicious Tor nodes from conducting WFP attacks.

Beyond company-internal data exploitation, the sharing of product and manufacturing process data along and across supply chains enables more efficient production flows and product lifecycle management. Even more, data-based automation facilitates short-lived ad hoc collaborations, realizing highly dynamic business relationships for sustainable exploitation of production resources and capacities. However, the sharing and use of business data across manufacturers and with end customers add requirements on data accountability, verifiability, and reliability and needs to consider security and privacy demands. While research has already identified blockchain technology as a key technology to address these challenges, current solutions mainly evolve around logistics or focus on established business relationships instead of automated but highly dynamic collaborations that cannot draw upon long-term trust relationships. We identify three open research areas on the road to such a truly accountable and dependable manufacturing enabled by blockchain technology: blockchain-inherent challenges, scenario-driven challenges, and socio-economic challenges. Especially tackling the scenario-driven challenges, we discuss requirements and options for realizing a blockchain-based trustworthy information store and outline its use for automation to achieve a reliable sharing of product information, efficient and dependable collaboration, and dynamic distributed markets without requiring established long-term trust. blockchain; supply chain management; Industry 4.0; manufacturing; secure industrial collaboration; scalability; Industrial Internet of Things; Internet of Production internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2021/2021-pennekamp-manufacturing.pdf MDPI 2673-4052 10.3390/automation2030013 1 JanPennekamp RomanMatzutt Salil S.Kanhere JensHiller KlausWehrle article 2021_matzutt_coinprune_v2 IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management 2021 9 10 18 3 3064-3078 Popular cryptocurrencies continue to face serious scalability issues due to their ever-growing blockchains. Thus, modern blockchain designs began to prune old blocks and rely on recent snapshots for their bootstrapping processes instead. Unfortunately, established systems are often considered incapable of adopting these improvements. In this work, we present CoinPrune, our block-pruning scheme with full Bitcoin compatibility, to revise this popular belief. CoinPrune bootstraps joining nodes via snapshots that are periodically created from Bitcoin's set of unspent transaction outputs (UTXO set). Our scheme establishes trust in these snapshots by relying on CoinPrune-supporting miners to mutually reaffirm a snapshot's correctness on the blockchain. This way, snapshots remain trustworthy even if adversaries attempt to tamper with them. Our scheme maintains its retrospective deployability by relying on positive feedback only, i.e., blocks containing invalid reaffirmations are not rejected, but invalid reaffirmations are outpaced by the benign ones created by an honest majority among CoinPrune-supporting miners. Already today, CoinPrune reduces the storage requirements for Bitcoin nodes by two orders of magnitude, as joining nodes need to fetch and process only 6 GiB instead of 271 GiB of data in our evaluation, reducing the synchronization time of powerful devices from currently 7 h to 51 min, with even larger potential drops for less powerful devices. CoinPrune is further aware of higher-level application data, i.e., it conserves otherwise pruned application data and allows nodes to obfuscate objectionable and potentially illegal blockchain content from their UTXO set and the snapshots they distribute. blockchain; block pruning; synchronization; bootstrapping; scalability; velvet fork; Bitcoin mynedata; impact_digital; digital_campus https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2021/2021-matzutt-coinprune-v2.pdf English 1932-4537 10.1109/TNSM.2021.3073270 1 RomanMatzutt BenediktKalde JanPennekamp ArthurDrichel MartinHenze KlausWehrle article 2021_pennekamp_ercim ERCIM News 2021 7 9 126 24-25 In industrial settings, significant process improvements can be achieved when utilising and sharing information across stakeholders.

However, neither traditional solutions, such as paper-based data curation processes, nor state-of-the-art approaches, such as distributed ledger technologies, adequately scale to the complex requirements and high throughput of continuously evolving industrial data. Motivated by a practical use case with high demands towards data trustworthiness and reliability, we identify the need for digitally-verifiable data immutability as a still insufficiently addressed dimension of data quality. Based on our discussion of shortcomings in related work, we thus propose ReShare, our novel concept of digital transmission contracts with bilateral signatures, to address this open issue for both RDF knowledge graphs and arbitrary data on the Web. Our quantitative evaluation of ReShare’s performance and scalability reveals only moderate computation and communication overhead, indicating significant potential for cost-reductions compared to today’s approaches. By cleverly integrating digital transmission contracts with existing Web-based information systems, ReShare provides a promising foundation for data sharing and reuse in Industry 4.0 and beyond, enabling digital accountability through easily-adoptable digitally-verifiable data immutability and non-repudiation.

As companies employ numerous, frequently mutually incompatible data management and preservation approaches, interorganizational data sharing and reuse regularly requires human interaction and is thus associated with high overhead costs. An interoperable system, supporting the unified management, preservation and exchange of data across organizational boundaries is missing to date. We propose FactStack, a unified approach to data management and preservation based upon a novel combination of existing Web-standards and tightly integrated with the HTTP protocol itself. Based on the FactDAG model, FactStack guides and supports the full data lifecycle in a FAIR and interoperable manner, independent of individual software solutions and backward-compatible with existing resource oriented architectures. We describe our reference implementation of the approach and evaluate its performance, showcasing scalability even to high-throughput applications. We analyze the system's applicability to industry using a representative real-world use case in aircraft manufacturing based on principal requirements identified in prior work. We conclude that FactStack fulfills all requirements and provides a promising solution for the on-demand integration of persistence and provenance into existing resource-oriented architectures, facilitating data management and preservation for the agile and interorganizational manufacturing processes of Industry 4.0. Through its open source distribution, it is readily available for adoption by the community, paving the way for improved utility and usability of data management and preservation in digital manufacturing and supply chains.

By mobilization of multipurpose resources and dynamic planning, Line-less Mobile Assembly Systems (LMASs) offer organizational reconfigurability. By proposing a holarchy to combine LMASs with the concept of an Internet of Production (IoP), we enable LMASs to source valuable information from cross-level production networks, physical resources, software nodes, and data stores that are interconnected in an IoP. The presented holarchy provides a concept of how to address future challenges, meet the requirements of shorter lead times, and unique lifecycle support. The paper suggests an application of decision making, distributed sensor services, recommender-based data reduction, and in-network computing while considering safety and human usability alike.

However, with the shift towards more dynamic and flexible supply chains, privacy concerns severely challenge the required information retrieval. A lack of trust between the different involved stakeholders inhibits advanced, multi-hop information flows, as valuable information for tracking and tracing products and parts is either unavailable or only retained locally. Our extensive literature review of previous approaches shows that these needs for cross-company information retrieval are widely acknowledged, but related work currently only addresses them insufficiently. To overcome these concerns, we present PrivAccIChain, a secure, privacy-preserving architecture for improving the multi-hop information retrieval with stakeholder accountability along supply chains. To address use case-specific needs, we particularly introduce an adaptable configuration of transparency and data privacy within our design. Hence, we enable the benefits of information sharing as well as multi-hop tracking and tracing even in supply chains that include mutually distrusting stakeholders. We evaluate the performance of PrivAccIChain and demonstrate its real-world feasibility based on the information of a purchasable automobile, the e.GO Life. We further conduct an in-depth security analysis and propose tunable mitigations against common attacks. As such, we attest PrivAccIChain's practicability for information management even in complex supply chains with flexible and dynamic business relationships. multi-hop collaboration; tracking and tracing; Internet of Production; e.GO; attribute-based encryption internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2021/2021-bader-ipm-privaccichain.pdf Elsevier 0306-4573 10.1016/j.ipm.2021.102529 1 LennartBader JanPennekamp RomanMatzutt DavidHedderich MarkusKowalski VolkerLücken KlausWehrle inproceedings 2021-kunze-aqm-tofino-p4 2021 5 72-80 internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2021/2021-kunze-aqm-tofino-p4.pdf IFIP/IEEE Proceedings of the International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM '21) Virtual Event International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM '21) May 2021 978-1-7281-9041-9 1 IkeKunze MoritzGunz DavidSaam KlausWehrle JanRüth inproceedings 2021_dahlmanns_entrust 2021 4 28 78–87 The ongoing digitization of industrial manufacturing leads to a decisive change in industrial communication paradigms. Moving from traditional one-to-one to many-to-many communication, publish/subscribe systems promise a more dynamic and efficient exchange of data. However, the resulting significantly more complex communication relationships render traditional end-to-end security futile for sufficiently protecting the sensitive and safety-critical data transmitted in industrial systems. Most notably, the central message brokers inherent in publish/subscribe systems introduce a designated weak spot for security as they can access all communication messages. To address this issue, we propose ENTRUST, a novel solution for key server-based end-to-end security in publish/subscribe systems. ENTRUST transparently realizes confidentiality, integrity, and authentication for publish/subscribe systems without any modification of the underlying protocol. We exemplarily implement ENTRUST on top of MQTT, the de-facto standard for machine-to-machine communication, showing that ENTRUST can integrate seamlessly into existing publish/subscribe systems. cyber-physical system security; publish-subscribe security; end-to-end security internet-of-production, rfc https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2021/2021-dahlmanns-entrust.pdf ACM Proceedings of the 1st ACM Workshop on Secure and Trustworthy Cyber-Physical Systems (SaT-CPS '21), co-located with the 11th ACM Conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy (CODASPY '21), April 26-28, 2021, Virtual Event, USA Virtual Event, USA ACM Workshop on Secure and Trustworthy Cyber-Physical Systems April 28, 2021 978-1-4503-8319-6/21/04 10.1145/3445969.3450423 1 MarkusDahlmanns JanPennekamp Ina BereniceFink BerndSchoolmann KlausWehrle MartinHenze inproceedings 2021-sander-zoom-cc 2021 3 internet-of-production /fileadmin/papers/2021/2021-sander-zoom-fairness-aqm.pdf https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.00904 Springer Proceedings of the Passive and Active Measurement Conference (PAM '21) Passive and Active Measurement Conference (PAM 2021) 10.1007/978-3-030-72582-2_1 1 ConstantinSander IkeKunze KlausWehrle JanRüth phdthesis 2021-serror-phd-thesis 2021 3 https://www.shaker.de/de/content/catalogue/index.asp?ISBN=978-3-8440-7923-4 Shaker Verlag

Due to a competitive environment, this process imposes strong privacy needs, as leaked business secrets can have devastating effects on participating companies. Consequently, related work proposes to protect sensitive input data of companies using secure multi-party computation or homomorphic encryption. However, related work so far does not consider that also the benchmarking algorithm, used in today's applied real-world scenarios to compute all relevant statistics, itself contains significant intellectual property, and thus needs to be protected. Addressing this issue, we present PCB — a practical design for Privacy-preserving Company Benchmarking that utilizes homomorphic encryption and a privacy proxy — which is specifically tailored for realistic real-world applications in which we protect companies' sensitive input data and the valuable algorithms used to compute underlying key performance indicators. We evaluate PCB's performance using synthetic measurements and showcase its applicability alongside an actual company benchmarking performed in the domain of injection molding, covering 48 distinct key performance indicators calculated out of hundreds of different input values. By protecting the privacy of all participants, we enable them to fully profit from the benefits of company benchmarking. practical encrypted computing; homomorphic encryption; algorithm confidentiality; benchmarking; key performance indicators; industrial application; Internet of Production internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-pennekamp-company-benchmarking.pdf https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/1512 HomomorphicEncryption.org Proceedings of the 8th Workshop on Encrypted Computing & Applied Homomorphic Cryptography (WAHC '20), December 15, 2020, Virtual Event Virtual Event December 15, 2020 978-3-00-067798-4 10.25835/0072999 1 JanPennekamp PatrickSapel Ina BereniceFink SimonWagner SebastianReuter ChristianHopmann KlausWehrle MartinHenze inproceedings 2020_pennekamp_parameter_exchange 2020 12 10 510-525 Nowadays, collaborations between industrial companies always go hand in hand with trust issues, i.e., exchanging valuable production data entails the risk of improper use of potentially sensitive information. Therefore, companies hesitate to offer their production data, e.g., process parameters that would allow other companies to establish new production lines faster, against a quid pro quo. Nevertheless, the expected benefits of industrial collaboration, data exchanges, and the utilization of external knowledge are significant. In this paper, we introduce our Bloom filter-based Parameter Exchange (BPE), which enables companies to exchange process parameters privacy-preservingly. We demonstrate the applicability of our platform based on two distinct real-world use cases: injection molding and machine tools. We show that BPE is both scalable and deployable for different needs to foster industrial collaborations. Thereby, we reward data-providing companies with payments while preserving their valuable data and reducing the risks of data leakage. secure industrial collaboration; Bloom filter; oblivious transfer; Internet of Production internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-pennekamp-parameter-exchange.pdf ACM Proceedings of the 36th Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC '20), December 7-11, 2020, Austin, TX, USA Austin, TX, USA December 7-11, 2020 978-1-4503-8858-0/20/12 10.1145/3427228.3427248 1 JanPennekamp ErikBuchholz YannikLockner MarkusDahlmanns TiandongXi MarcelFey ChristianBrecher ChristianHopmann KlausWehrle inbook 2020-jakobs-smartsystems 2020 11 18 250 285-315 John-Stewart Gordon Brill Value Inquiry Book Series Smart Technologies and Fundamental Rights 9789004437876 10.1163/9789004437876_014 1 KaiJakobs proceedings fink-lcn-demons-2020 2020 11 15 nerd-nrw https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-fink-lcn-mud-smartphone.pdf IEEE online Sydney, Australia 45th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN) November 16-19, 2020 10.1109/LCN48667.2020.9314782 1 Ina BereniceFink MartinSerror KlausWehrle inproceedings 2020_delacadena_trafficsliver 2020 11 12 1971-1985 Website fingerprinting (WFP) aims to infer information about the content of encrypted and anonymized connections by observing patterns of data flows based on the size and direction of packets.

Concurrently, former WFP defenses are either infeasible for deployment in real-world settings or defend against specific WFP attacks only. To limit the exposure of Tor users to WFP, we propose novel lightweight WFP defenses, TrafficSliver, which successfully counter today’s WFP classifiers with reasonable bandwidth and latency overheads and, thus, make them attractive candidates for adoption in Tor. Through user-controlled splitting of traffic over multiple Tor entry nodes, TrafficSliver limits the data a single entry node can observe and distorts repeatable traffic patterns exploited by WFP attacks. We first propose a network-layer defense, in which we apply the concept of multipathing entirely within the Tor network. We show that our network-layer defense reduces the accuracy from more than 98% to less than 16% for all state-of-the-art WFP attacks without adding any artificial delays or dummy traffic. We further suggest an elegant client-side application-layer defense, which is independent of the underlying anonymization network. By sending single HTTP requests for different web objects over distinct Tor entry nodes, our application-layer defense reduces the detection rate of WFP classifiers by almost 50 percentage points. Although it offers lower protection than our network-layer defense, it provides a security boost at the cost of a very low implementation overhead and is fully compatible with today’s Tor network.

Supplementing protective measures, industrial intrusion detection systems promise to detect such attacks. However, due to industrial protocol diversity and lack of standard interfaces, great efforts are required to adapt these technologies to a large number of different protocols. To address this issue, we identify existing universally applicable intrusion detection approaches and propose a transcription for industrial protocols to realize protocol-independent semantic intrusion detection on top of different industrial protocols.

The abstract FactDAG data interoperability model strives to address this challenge by simplifying the creation of provenance-linked knowledge graphs of revisioned (and thus immutable) resources. However, to date, it lacks a practical provenance implementation. In this work, we present a concrete alignment of all roles and relations in the FactDAG model to the W3C PROV provenance standard, allowing future software implementations to directly produce standard-compliant provenance information. Maintaining compatibility with existing PROV tooling, an implementation of this mapping will pave the way for practical FactDAG implementations and deployments, improving trust and accountability for Open Data through simplified provenance management.

However, securely setting up OPC UA, the prime candidate for secure industrial communication, is challenging due to a large variety of insecure options. To study whether Internet-facing OPC UA appliances are configured securely, we actively scan the IPv4 address space for publicly reachable OPC UA systems and assess the security of their configurations. We observe problematic security configurations such as missing access control (on 24% of hosts), disabled security functionality (24%), or use of deprecated cryptographic primitives (25%) on in total 92% of the reachable deployments. Furthermore, we discover several hundred devices in multiple autonomous systems sharing the same security certificate, opening the door for impersonation attacks. Overall, in this paper, we highlight commonly found security misconfigurations and underline the importance of appropriate configuration for security-featuring protocols. industrial communication; network security; security configuration internet-of-production, rfc https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-dahlmanns-imc-opcua.pdf ACM Proceedings of the Internet Measurement Conference (IMC '20), October 27-29, 2020, Pittsburgh, PA, USA Pittsburgh, PA, USA ACM Internet Measurement Conference 2020 October 27-29, 2020 978-1-4503-8138-3/20/10 10.1145/3419394.3423666 1 MarkusDahlmanns JohannesLohmöller Ina BereniceFink JanPennekamp KlausWehrle MartinHenze inproceedings 2020_matzutt_anonboot 2020 10 7 531-542 Distributed anonymity services, such as onion routing networks or cryptocurrency tumblers, promise privacy protection without trusted third parties. While the security of these services is often well-researched, security implications of their required bootstrapping processes are usually neglected: Users either jointly conduct the anonymization themselves, or they need to rely on a set of non-colluding privacy peers. However, the typically small number of privacy peers enable single adversaries to mimic distributed services. We thus present AnonBoot, a Sybil-resistant medium to securely bootstrap distributed anonymity services via public blockchains. AnonBoot enforces that peers periodically create a small proof of work to refresh their eligibility for providing secure anonymity services. A pseudo-random, locally replicable bootstrapping process using on-chain entropy then prevents biasing the election of eligible peers. Our evaluation using Bitcoin as AnonBoot's underlying blockchain shows its feasibility to maintain a trustworthy repository of 1000 peers with only a small storage footprint while supporting arbitrarily large user bases on top of most blockchains. anonymization; bootstrapping; public blockchain; Sybil attack; anonymity network; cryptocurrency tumbler; Bitcoin; Tor impact_digital; digital_campus https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-matzutt-anonboot.pdf ACM Proceedings of the 15th ACM ASIA Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ASIACCS '20), October 5-9, 2020, Taipei, Taiwan Taipei, Taiwan ASIACCS 2020 October 5-9, 2020 978-1-4503-6750-9/20/10 10.1145/3320269.3384729 1 RomanMatzutt JanPennekamp ErikBuchholz KlausWehrle article serror-iiotsec-tii-2020 IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics 2020 9 11 17 5 2985-2996 nerd-nrw https://comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-serror-tii-iiotsec.pdf https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9195014 online 1941-0050 10.1109/TII.2020.3023507 1 MartinSerror SachaHack MartinHenze MarkoSchuba KlausWehrle inproceedings 2020-kirchhof-wowmom-ccncps 2020 8 31 internet-of-production, reflexes https://comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-kirchhof-wireless-mac-improvements.pdf IEEE Computer Society online International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks: Workshop on Communication, Computing, and Networking in Cyber Physical Systems (WoWMoM-CCNCPS'2020), August 31 - September 3, 2020, Cork, Ireland Cork, Ireland August 31 - September 3, 2020 10.1109/WoWMoM49955.2020.00068 1 Jörg ChristianKirchhof MartinSerror RenéGlebke KlausWehrle article 2020_niemietz_stamping Procedia Manufacturing 2020 7 11 49 61-68 Sharing data between companies throughout the supply chain is expected to be beneficial for product quality as well as for the economical savings in the manufacturing industry. To utilize the available data in the vision of an Internet of Production (IoP) a precise condition monitoring of manufacturing and production processes that facilitates the quantification of influences throughout the supply chain is inevitable. In this paper, we consider stamping processes in the context of an Internet of Production and the preliminaries for analytical models that utilize the ever-increasing available data. Three research objectives to cope with the amount of data and for a methodology to monitor, analyze and evaluate the influence of available data onto stamping processes have been identified: (i) State detection based on cyclic sensor signals, (ii) mapping of in- and output parameter variations onto process states, and (iii) models for edge and in-network computing approaches. After discussing state-of-the-art approaches to monitor stamping processes and the introduction of the fineblanking process as an exemplary stamping process, a research roadmap for an IoP enabling modeling framework is presented.

To allow for dynamic relationships along supply chains, we propose a blockchain-backed supply chain monitoring architecture relying on trusted hardware. Our design provides a notion of secure end-to-end sensing of interactions even when originating from untrusted surroundings. Due to attested checkpointing, we can identify misinformation early on and reliably pinpoint the origin. A blockchain enables long-term verifiability for all (now trustworthy) IoT data within our system even if issues are detected only after the fact. Our feasibility study and cost analysis further show that our design is indeed deployable in and applicable to today's supply chain settings. supply chain; trusted computing; trusted execution; blockchain; Internet of Production; condition monitoring internet-of-production https://comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-pennekamp-supply-chain-sensing.pdf IEEE Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security (CPS-Sec '20), co-located with the 8th IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS '20), June 29-July 1, 2020, Avignon, France Avignon, France June 29-July 1, 2020 978-1-7281-4760-4 10.1109/CNS48642.2020.9162337 1 JanPennekamp FritzAlder RomanMatzutt Jan TobiasMühlberg FrankPiessens KlausWehrle article 2020-holz-ccr-tls13 ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communications Review (CCR) 2020 7 50 3 3-15 Selected for the 'Best of CCR' session at SIGCOMM 2021. https://ccronline.sigcomm.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/sigcomm-ccr-paper430-with-open-review.pdf Association for Computing Machinery

Despite the benefits of its blockchain, Bitcoin still faces serious scalability issues, most importantly its ever-increasing blockchain size. While alternative designs introduced schemes to periodically create snapshots and thereafter prune older blocks, already-deployed systems such as Bitcoin are often considered incapable of adopting corresponding approaches. In this work, we revise this popular belief and present CoinPrune, a snapshot-based pruning scheme that is fully compatible with Bitcoin. CoinPrune can be deployed through an opt-in velvet fork, i.e., without impeding the established Bitcoin network. By requiring miners to publicly announce and jointly reaffirm recent snapshots on the blockchain, CoinPrune establishes trust into the snapshots' correctness even in the presence of powerful adversaries. Our evaluation shows that CoinPrune reduces the storage requirements of Bitcoin already by two orders of magnitude today, with further relative savings as the blockchain grows. In our experiments, nodes only have to fetch and process 5 GiB instead of 230 GiB of data when joining the network, reducing the synchronization time on powerful devices from currently 5 h to 46 min, with even more savings for less powerful devices. blockchain; block pruning; synchronization; bootstrapping; scalability; velvet fork; Bitcoin mynedata; impact_digital; digital_campus https://comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-matzutt-coinprune.pdf https://coinprune.comsys.rwth-aachen.de IEEE Proceedings of the 19th IFIP Networking 2020 Conference (NETWORKING '20), June 22-26, 2020, Paris, France Paris, France NETWORKING 2020 June 22-26, 2020 978-3-903176-28-7 1 RomanMatzutt BenediktKalde JanPennekamp ArthurDrichel MartinHenze KlausWehrle inproceedings 2020-serror-networking-qwin 2020 6 21 consent https://comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-serror-qwin.pdf https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9142792 IFIP online Proceedings of the 19th IFIP Networking 2020 Conference (NETWORKING '20), June 22-26, 2020, Paris, France Paris, France IFIP NETWORKING Conference June 22-26, 2020 978-3-903176-28-7 1 MartinSerror EricWagner RenéGlebke KlausWehrle inproceedings 2020_pennekamp_supply_chain_accountability 2020 6 7 Today's supply chains are becoming increasingly flexible in nature. While adaptability is vastly increased, these more dynamic associations necessitate more extensive data sharing among different stakeholders while simultaneously overturning previously established levels of trust. Hence, manufacturers' demand to track goods and to investigate root causes of issues across their supply chains becomes more challenging to satisfy within these now untrusted environments. Complementarily, suppliers need to keep any data irrelevant to such routine checks secret to remain competitive. To bridge the needs of contractors and suppliers in increasingly flexible supply chains, we thus propose to establish a privacy-preserving and distributed multi-hop accountability log among the involved stakeholders based on Attribute-based Encryption and backed by a blockchain. Our large-scale feasibility study is motivated by a real-world manufacturing process, i.e., a fine blanking line, and reveals only modest costs for multi-hop tracing and tracking of goods. supply chain; multi-hop tracking and tracing; blockchain; attribute-based encryption; Internet of Production internet-of-production https://comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-pennekamp-supply-chain-privacy.pdf IEEE Proceedings of the 2020 IEEE International Conference on Communications Workshops (ICC Workshops '20), 1st Workshop on Blockchain for IoT and Cyber-Physical Systems (BIoTCPS '20), June 7-11, 2020, Dublin, Ireland Dublin, Ireland June 7-11, 2020 978-1-7281-7440-2 2474-9133 10.1109/ICCWorkshops49005.2020.9145100 1 JanPennekamp LennartBader RomanMatzutt PhilippNiemietz DanielTrauth MartinHenze ThomasBergs KlausWehrle inproceedings 2020-mann-ur-weldseamstudy 2020 6 https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-mann-weld-seam-geometry-control.pdf Proceedings of the 2020 Internal Conference on Ubiquitous Robots Internal Conference on Ubiquitous Robots June 22-26, 2020 10.1109/UR49135.2020.9144839 1 SamuelMann RenéGlebke IkeKunze DominikScheurenberg RahulSharma UweReisgen KlausWehrle DirkAbel article 2020_gleim_factDAG IEEE Internet of Things Journal 2020 4 14 7 4 3243-3253 In the production industry, the volume, variety and velocity of data as well as the number of deployed protocols increase exponentially due to the influences of IoT advances. While hundreds of isolated solutions exist to utilize this data, e.g., optimizing processes or monitoring machine conditions, the lack of a unified data handling and exchange mechanism hinders the implementation of approaches to improve the quality of decisions and processes in such an interconnected environment. The vision of an Internet of Production promises the establishment of a Worldwide Lab, where data from every process in the network can be utilized, even interorganizational and across domains. While numerous existing approaches consider interoperability from an interface and communication system perspective, fundamental questions of data and information interoperability remain insufficiently addressed. In this paper, we identify ten key issues, derived from three distinctive real-world use cases, that hinder large-scale data interoperability for industrial processes. Based on these issues we derive a set of five key requirements for future (IoT) data layers, building upon the FAIR data principles. We propose to address them by creating FactDAG, a conceptual data layer model for maintaining a provenance-based, directed acyclic graph of facts, inspired by successful distributed version-control and collaboration systems. Eventually, such a standardization should greatly shape the future of interoperability in an interconnected production industry.

However, deploying it securely requires a thorough configuration of a wide range of options. Thus, assessing the security of OPC UA deployments and their configuration is necessary to ensure secure operation, most importantly confidentiality and integrity of industrial processes. In this work, we present extensions to the popular Metasploit Framework to ease network-based security assessments of OPC UA deployments. To this end, we discuss methods to discover OPC UA servers, test their authentication, obtain their configuration, and check for vulnerabilities. Ultimately, our work enables operators to verify the (security) configuration of their systems and identify potential attack vectors. internet-of-production, rfc https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-roepert-opcua-security.pdf en University of Tübingen Proceedings of the 1st ITG Workshop on IT Security (ITSec '20), April 2-3, 2020, Tübingen, Germany Tübingen, Germany April 2-3, 2020 10.15496/publikation-41813 1 LinusRoepert MarkusDahlmanns Ina BereniceFink JanPennekamp MartinHenze article 2020_mann_welding_layers Advanced Structured Materials 2020 4 1 125 101-118 A connected, digitalized welding production unlocks vast and dynamic potentials: from improving state of the art welding to new business models in production. For this reason, offering frameworks, which are capable of addressing multiple layers of applications on the one hand and providing means of data security and privacy for ubiquitous dataflows on the other hand, is an important step to enable the envisioned advances. In this context, welding production has been introduced from the perspective of interlaced process layers connecting information sources across various entities. Each layer has its own distinct challenges from both a process view and a data perspective. Besides, investigating each layer promises to reveal insight into (currently unknown) process interconnections. This approach has been substantiated by methods for data security and privacy to draw a line between secure handling of data and the need of trustworthy dealing with sensitive data among different parties and therefore partners. In conclusion, the welding production has to develop itself from an accumulation of local and isolated data sources towards a secure industrial collaboration in an Internet of Production.

While the lack of a strict hierarchy on the inter-university level is critical for ensuring free research and higher education, this concurrency limits the access to high-quality education materials. Especially regarding resources such as lecture notes or exercise tasks we observe a high susceptibility to redundant work and lacking quality assessment of material created in isolation by individual university institutes. To remedy this situation, in this paper we propose CORALIS, a decentralized marketplace for offering, acquiring, discussing, and improving education resources across university borders. Our design is based on a permissioned blockchain to (a) realize accountable access control via simple on-chain license terms, (b) trace the evolution of encrypted containers accumulating bundles of shareable education resources, and (c) record user comments and ratings for further improving the quality of offered education material. blockchain platform; permissioned blockchain; education material; quality assessment; collaborative work impact_digital https://comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-matzutt-coralis.pdf IEEE Proceedings of the 34th International Conference on Information Networking (ICOIN '20), January 7-10, 2020, Barcelona, Spain Barcelona, Spain January 7-10, 2020 978-1-7281-4199-2 10.1109/ICOIN48656.2020.9016478 1 RomanMatzutt JanPennekamp KlausWehrle article 2020-wehrle-digitalshadows Der Profilbereich "Information & Communication Technology" 2020 0179-079X 10.18154/RWTH-2021-02496 MatthiasJarke Wilvan der Aalst ChristianBrecher MatthiasBrockmann IstvánKoren GerhardLakemeyer BernhardRumpe GüntherSchuh KlausWehrle MartinaZiefle booklet 2020-jakobs-siit EURAS contributions to standardisation research 2020 978-3-95886-379-8 KaiJakobs article 2019-kunze-ccwild-tnsm IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management 2019 12 27 17 2 1224 - 1238 https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2019/2019-kunze-ccwild-tnsm.pdf 1932-4537 10.1109/TNSM.2019.2962607 1 IkeKunze JanRüth OliverHohlfeld inproceedings 2019-krude-online-reprogramming 2019 12 9 maki https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2019/2019-krude-online-reprogramming.pdf ACM 1st ACM CoNEXT Workshop on Emerging in-Network Computing Paradigms (ENCP '19) 978-1-4503-7000-4/19/12 10.1145/3359993.3366643 1 JohannesKrude JacoHofmann MatthiasEichholz KlausWehrle AndreasKoch MiraMezini inproceedings 2019-glebke-in-network-cv 2019 12 9 reflexes,maki,internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2019/2019-glebke-in-network-cv.pdf Online ACM 1st ACM CoNEXT Workshop on Emerging in-Network Computing Paradigms (ENCP '19) en 978-1-4503-7000-4/19/12 10.1145/3359993.3366646 1 RenéGlebke JohannesKrude IkeKunze JanRüth FelixSenger KlausWehrle inproceedings 2019_pennekamp_securityConsiderations 2019 12 4 The productivity and sustainability advances for (smart) manufacturing resulting from (globally) interconnected Industrial IoT devices in a lab of labs are expected to be significant. While such visions introduce opportunities for the involved parties, the associated risks must be considered as well. In particular, security aspects are crucial challenges and remain unsolved. So far, single stakeholders only had to consider their local view on security. However, for a global lab, we identify several fundamental research challenges in (dynamic) scenarios with multiple stakeholders: While information security mandates that models must be adapted wrt. confidentiality to address these new influences on business secrets, from a network perspective, the drastically increasing amount of possible attack vectors challenges today's approaches. Finally, concepts addressing these security challenges should provide backwards compatibility to enable a smooth transition from today's isolated landscape towards globally interconnected IIoT environments. secure industrial collaboration; interconnected cyber-physical systems; stakeholders; Internet of Production internet-of-production; iotrust https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2019/2019-pennekamp-security-considerations.pdf IEEE Proceedings of the 3rd IEEE Global Conference on Internet of Things (GCIoT '19), December 4–7, 2019, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Dubai, United Arab Emirates December 4–7, 2019 978-1-7281-4873-1 10.1109/GCIoT47977.2019.9058413 1 JanPennekamp MarkusDahlmanns LarsGleim StefanDecker KlausWehrle inproceedings 2019-rueth-quic-userstudy 2019 12 maki,reflexes https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2019/2019-rueth-quic-userstudy.pdf https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.07729 ACM In Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (CoNEXT '19) Orlando, Florida, USA International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies 9.12.2019-12.12.2019 10.1145/3359989.3365416 1 JanRüth KonradWolsing KlausWehrle OliverHohlfeld article 2019-unterberg-matclass Production Engineering 2019 11 13 13 6 743-749 internet-of-production 10.1007/s11740-019-00928-w 1 MartinUnterberg PhillipNiemietz DanielTrauth KlausWehrle ThomasBergs inproceedings 2019_delacadena_countermeasure 2019 11 12 2533-2535 Website fingerprinting (WFP) is a special type of traffic analysis, which aims to infer the websites visited by a user. Recent studies have shown that WFP targeting Tor users is notably more effective than previously expected. Concurrently, state-of-the-art defenses have been proven to be less effective. In response, we present a novel WFP defense that splits traffic over multiple entry nodes to limit the data a single malicious entry can use. Here, we explore several traffic-splitting strategies to distribute user traffic. We establish that our weighted random strategy dramatically reduces the accuracy from nearly 95% to less than 35% for four state-of-the-art WFP attacks without adding any artificial delays or dummy traffic. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2019/2019-delacadena-splitting-defense.pdf ACM Proceedings of the 26th ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS '19), November 11-15, 2019, London, United Kingdom London, United Kingdom November 11-15, 2019 978-1-4503-6747-9/19/11 10.1145/3319535.3363249 1 WladimirDe la Cadena AsyaMitseva JanPennekamp JensHiller FabianLanze ThomasEngel KlausWehrle AndriyPanchenko inproceedings 2019_pennekamp_dataflows 2019 11 11 27-38 The Internet of Production (IoP) envisions the interconnection of previously isolated CPS in the area of manufacturing across institutional boundaries to realize benefits such as increased profit margins and product quality as well as reduced product development costs and time to market. This interconnection of CPS will lead to a plethora of new dataflows, especially between (partially) distrusting entities. In this paper, we identify and illustrate these envisioned inter-organizational dataflows and the participating entities alongside two real-world use cases from the production domain: a fine blanking line and a connected job shop. Our analysis allows us to identify distinct security and privacy demands and challenges for these new dataflows. As a foundation to address the resulting requirements, we provide a survey of promising technical building blocks to secure inter-organizational dataflows in an IoP and propose next steps for future research. Consequently, we move an important step forward to overcome security and privacy concerns as an obstacle for realizing the promised potentials in an Internet of Production.

In such environments, attackers can derive sensitive private information of IoT device owners, e.g., daily routines or secret supply chain procedures, when sniffing on IoT communication and linking IoT devices and owner. Furthermore, untrusted networks do not provide IoT devices with any protection against attacks from the Internet. Anonymous communication using onion routing provides a well-proven mechanism to keep the relationship between communication partners secret and (optionally) protect against network attacks. However, the application of onion routing is challenged by protocol incompatibilities and demanding cryptographic processing on constrained IoT devices, rendering its use infeasible. To close this gap, we tailor onion routing to the IoT by bridging protocol incompatibilities and offloading expensive cryptographic processing to a router or web server of the IoT device owner. Thus, we realize resource-conserving access control and end-to-end security for IoT devices. To prove applicability, we deploy onion routing for the IoT within the well-established Tor network enabling IoT devices to leverage its resources to achieve the same grade of anonymity as readily available to traditional devices. internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2019/2019-hiller-tailoring.pdf IEEE Proceedings of the 27th IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP '19), October 7-10, 2019, Chicago, IL, USA Chicago, IL, USA 27th IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP 2019) 7-10.

However, this behavior poses a risk for the privacy of clients since these services are able to generate profiles containing very sensitive information, e.g., vulnerability information or collaboration partners. Hence, a rising need for protocols that enable clients to obtain knowledge without revealing their requests exists. To address this issue, we propose a protocol that enables clients (i) to query large cloud-based knowledge systems in a privacy-preserving manner using Private Set Intersection and (ii) to subsequently obtain individual knowledge items without leaking the client’s requests via few Oblivious Transfers. With our preliminary design, we allow clients to save a significant amount of time in comparison to performing Oblivious Transfers only.

However, especially malicious entry nodes, which know the client’s identity, can also observe the whole communication on their link to the client and, thus, conduct several de-anonymization attacks. To limit this exposure and to impede corresponding attacks, we propose to multipath traffic between the client and the middle node to reduce the information an attacker can obtain at a single vantage point. To facilitate the deployment, only clients and selected middle nodes need to implement our approach, which works transparently for the remaining legacy nodes. Furthermore, we let clients control the splitting strategy to prevent any external manipulation.

To protect the communication in this critical infrastructure, public authorities mandate smart meter gateways (SMGWs) to intercept all inbound and outbound communication of premises such as a factory or smart home, and forward the communication data on secure channels established by the SMGW itself to be in control of the communication security. However, using the SMGW as proxy, local devices can neither review the security of these remote connections established by the SMGW nor enforce higher security guarantees than established by the all in one configuration of the SMGW which does not allow for use case-specific security settings. We present mechanisms that enable local devices to regain this insight and control over the full connection, i.e., up to the final receiver, while retaining the SMGW's ability to ensure a suitable security level. Our evaluation shows modest computation and transmission overheads for this increased security in the critical smart grid infrastructure.

These data plane programs are, however, limited in per-packet time budget (e.g., 67.2 ns at 10GbE) and program size, making program optimization imperative. Existing approaches focus on optimizing the distribution of flow rules in fixed data planes or they are limited to a single switch.

The prevalence of online media and the opportunity for users to express opinions in comments magnifies the problem. Governments, organizations, and companies can exploit this situation for biasing opinions. Typically, they deploy a large number of pseudonyms to create an impression of a crowd that supports specific opinions. Side channel information (such as IP addresses or identities of browsers) often allows a reliable detection of pseudonyms managed by a single person. However, while spoofing and anonymizing data that links these accounts is simple, a linking without is very challenging. In this paper, we evaluate whether stylometric features allow a detection of such doppelgängers within comment sections on news articles. To this end, we adapt a state-of-the-art doppelgängers detector to work on small texts (such as comments) and apply it on three popular news sites in two languages. Our results reveal that detecting potential doppelgängers based on linguistics is a promising approach even when no reliable side channel information is available. Preliminary results following an application in the wild shows indications for doppelgängers in real world data sets. online manipulation; doppelgänger detection; stylometry comtex https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2019/2019-pennekamp-doppelganger.pdf ACM Companion Proceedings of the 2019 World Wide Web Conference (WWW '19 Companion), 4th Workshop on Computational Methods in Online Misbehavior (CyberSafety '19), May 13–17, 2019, San Francisco, CA, USA San Francisco, California, USA May 13-17, 2019 978-1-4503-6675-5/19/05 10.1145/3308560.3316496 1 JanPennekamp MartinHenze OliverHohlfeld AndriyPanchenko inproceedings ReelfsMHH2019 2019 5 13 919-927 Anonymous Messaging; Location Based Messaging; User Behavior and Engagement; Information Diffusion; Hashtag comtex https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2019/2019-reelfs-jodel-hashtags.pdf ACM Companion Proceedings of the 2019 World Wide Web Conference (WWW '19 Companion), 9th International Workshop on Location and the Web (LocWeb '19), May 13–17, 2019, San Francisco, CA, USA San Francisco, California, USA International Workshop on Location and the Web May 13–17, 2019 978-1-4503-6675-5/19/05 10.1145/3308560.3316537 1 HelgeReelfs TimonMohaupt OliverHohlfeld NiklasHenckell inproceedings 2019_pennekamp_infrastructure 2019 5 8 31-37 New levels of cross-domain collaboration between manufacturing companies throughout the supply chain are anticipated to bring benefits to both suppliers and consumers of products. Enabling a fine-grained sharing and analysis of data among different stakeholders in an automated manner, such a vision of an Internet of Production (IoP) introduces demanding challenges to the communication, storage, and computation infrastructure in production environments. In this work, we present three example cases that would benefit from an IoP (a fine blanking line, a high pressure die casting process, and a connected job shop) and derive requirements that cannot be met by today’s infrastructure. In particular, we identify three orthogonal research objectives: (i) real-time control of tightly integrated production processes to offer seamless low-latency analysis and execution, (ii) storing and processing heterogeneous production data to support scalable data stream processing and storage, and (iii) secure privacy-aware collaboration in production to provide a basis for secure industrial collaboration. Based on a discussion of state-of-the-art approaches for these three objectives, we create a blueprint for an infrastructure acting as an enabler for an IoP.

However, protocols with full smart contract-based security are either limited in functionality or complex, with high costs for secured interactions. This observation leads to the development of protocol-specific schemes to avoid costly dispute resolution in case all participants remain honest. In this paper, we introduce SmartJudge, an extensible generalization of this trend for smart contract-based two-party protocols. SmartJudge relies on a protocol-independent mediator smart contract that moderates two-party interactions and only consults protocol-specific verifier smart contracts in case of a dispute. This way, SmartJudge avoids verification costs in absence of disputes and sustains interaction confidentiality among honest parties. We implement verifier smart contracts for cross-blockchain trades and exchanging digital goods and show that SmartJudge can reduce costs by 46-50% and 22% over current state of the art, respectively.

By providing a persistent, distributed, and append-only ledger, blockchains enable numerous applications such as distributed consensus, robustness against equivocation, and smart contracts. However, recent studies show that blockchain systems such as Bitcoin can be (mis)used to store arbitrary content. This has already been used to store arguably objectionable content on Bitcoin's blockchain. Already single instances of clearly objectionable or even illegal content can put the whole system at risk by making its node operators culpable. To overcome this imminent risk, we survey and discuss the design space of countermeasures against the insertion of such objectionable content. Our analysis shows a wide spectrum of potential countermeasures, which are often combinable for increased efficiency. First, we investigate special-purpose content detectors as an ad hoc mitigation. As they turn out to be easily evadable, we also investigate content-agnostic countermeasures. We find that mandatory minimum fees as well as mitigation of transaction manipulability via identifier commitments significantly raise the bar for inserting harmful content into a blockchain.

However, beyond this original purpose, blockchains also irrevocably record arbitrary data, ranging from short messages to pictures. This does not come without risk for users as each participant has to locally replicate the complete blockchain, particularly including potentially harmful content. We provide the first systematic analysis of the benefits and threats of arbitrary blockchain content. Our analysis shows that certain content, e.g., illegal pornography, can render the mere possession of a blockchain illegal. Based on these insights, we conduct a thorough quantitative and qualitative analysis of unintended content on Bitcoin's blockchain. Although most data originates from benign extensions to Bitcoin's protocol, our analysis reveals more than 1600 files on the blockchain, over 99% of which are texts or images. Among these files there is clearly objectionable content such as links to child pornography, which is distributed to all Bitcoin participants. With our analysis, we thus highlight the importance for future blockchain designs to address the possibility of unintended data insertion and protect blockchain users accordingly. mynedata https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2018/2018_matzutt_bitcoin-contents_preproceedings-version.pdf 2018-01-07 Online Springer Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Financial Cryptography and Data Security (FC), Nieuwpoort, Curaçao Nieuwpoort, Curaçao Financial Cryptography and Data Security 2018 en 10.1007/978-3-662-58387-6_23 1 RomanMatzutt JensHiller MartinHenze Jan HenrikZiegeldorf DirkMüllmann OliverHohlfeld KlausWehrle inproceedings 2018-tzimmermann-split 2018 2 14 iop https://jenshiller.com/publication/2018-zimmermann-ewsn-split/2018-zimmermann-ewsn-split.pdf https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3234847.3234854 ACM Proceedings of the 15th European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks (EWSN 2018), Madrid, Spain Madrid, Spain European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks (EWSN 2018) 14.2.2018 - 16.2.2018 en 978-0-9949886-2-1 1 TorstenZimmermann JensHiller Jens HelgeReelfs PascalHein KlausWehrle inproceedings 2018-dedin-energy-packets 2018 Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy '18) Karlsruhe, Germany Ninth International Conference on Future Energy Systems 2018-06-15 10.1145/3208903.3208931 1 EdoardoDe Din AntonelloMonti VeitHagenmeyer KlausWehrle article 2017-pennekamp-pmc-survey Pervasive and Mobile Computing 2017 12 42 58-76 With the increasing proliferation of smartphones, enforcing privacy of smartphone users becomes evermore important. Nowadays, one of the major privacy challenges is the tremendous amount of permissions requested by applications, which can significantly invade users' privacy, often without their knowledge. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of approaches that can be used to report on applications' permission usage, tune permission access, contain sensitive information, and nudge users towards more privacy-conscious behavior. We discuss key shortcomings of privacy enforcement on smartphones so far and identify suitable actions for the future.

At the same time, mobile apps have access to various private information, ranging from users' contact lists to their precise locations. As a result, app deployment models and data flows have become too complex and entangled for users to understand. We present CloudAnalyzer, a transparency technology that reveals the cloud usage of smartphone apps and hence provides users with the means to reclaim informational self-determination. We apply CloudAnalyzer to study the cloud exposure of 29 volunteers over the course of 19 days. In addition, we analyze the cloud usage of the 5000 most accessed mobile websites as well as 500 popular apps from five different countries. Our results reveal an excessive exposure to cloud services: 90 % of apps use cloud services and 36 % of apps used by volunteers solely communicate with cloud services. Given the information provided by CloudAnalyzer, users can critically review the cloud usage of their apps.

Unfortunately, this dawning genome era does not only promise tremendous advances in biomedical research but also causes unprecedented privacy risks for the many. Handling storage and processing of large genome datasets through cloud services greatly aggravates these concerns. Current research efforts thus investigate the use of strong cryptographic methods and protocols to implement privacy-preserving genomic computations. We propose FHE-Bloom and PHE-Bloom, two efficient approaches for genetic disease testing using homomorphically encrypted Bloom filters. Both approaches allow the data owner to securely outsource storage and computation to an untrusted cloud. FHE-Bloom is fully secure in the semi-honest model while PHE-Bloom slightly relaxes security guarantees in a trade-off for highly improved performance. We implement and evaluate both approaches on a large dataset of up to 50 patient genomes each with up to 1000000 variations (single nucleotide polymorphisms). For both implementations, overheads scale linearly in the number of patients and variations, while PHE-Bloom is faster by at least three orders of magnitude. For example, testing disease susceptibility of 50 patients with 100000 variations requires only a total of 308.31 s (σ=8.73 s) with our first approach and a mere 0.07 s (σ=0.00 s) with the second. We additionally discuss security guarantees of both approaches and their limitations as well as possible extensions towards more complex query types, e.g., fuzzy or range queries. Both approaches handle practical problem sizes efficiently and are easily parallelized to scale with the elastic resources available in the cloud. The fully homomorphic scheme, FHE-Bloom, realizes a comprehensive outsourcing to the cloud, while the partially homomorphic scheme, PHE-Bloom, trades a slight relaxation of security guarantees against performance improvements by at least three orders of magnitude.

This is detrimental to users, who often do not understand the privacy implications of this data collection, as well as to small parties interested in gaining insights from this data pool, e.g., research groups or small and middle-sized enterprises. To remedy this situation, we propose a transparent and user-controlled data market in which users can directly and consensually share their personal data with interested parties for monetary compensation. We define a simple model for such an ecosystem and identify pressing challenges arising within this model with respect to the user and data processor demands, legal obligations, and technological limits. We propose myneData as a conceptual architecture for a trusted online platform to overcome these challenges. Our work provides an initial investigation of the resulting myneData ecosystem as a foundation to subsequently realize our envisioned data market via the myneData platform.

Apart from the obvious usage for industry applications in human-robot interaction, acquiring the emotional state of a person automatically also is of great potential for the health domain, especially in psychology and psychiatry. Here, evaluation of human emotion is often done using oral feedback or questionnaires during doctor-patient sessions. However, this can be perceived as intrusive by the patient. Furthermore, the evaluation can only be done in a non-continuous manner, e.g. once a week during therapy sessions. In contrast, using automatic emotion detection, the affect state of a person can be evaluated in a continuous non-intrusive manner, for example to detect early on-sets of depression. An additional benefit of automatic emotion recognition is the objectivity of such an approach, which is not influenced by the perception of the patient and the doctor. To reach the goal of objectivity, it is important, that the source of the emotion is not easily manipulable, e.g. as in the speech modality. To circumvent this caveat, novel approaches in emotion detection research the potential of using physiological measures, such as galvanic skin sensors or pulse meters. In this paper we outline a way of detecting emotion from brain waves, i.e., EEG data. While EEG allows for a continuous, real-time automatic emotion recognition, it furthermore has the charm of measuring the affect close to the point of emergence: the brain. Using EEG data for emotion detection is nevertheless a challenging task: Which features, EEG channel locations and frequency bands are best suited for is an issue of ongoing research. In this paper we evaluate the use of state of the art feature extraction, feature selection and classification algorithms for EEG emotion classification using data from the de facto standard dataset, DEAP. Moreover, we present results that help choose methods to enhance classification performance while simultaneously reducing computational complexity. /fileadmin/papers/2016/2016-ackermann-healthcom-emorec.pdf http://ieeehealthcom2016.com/ Online IEEE 2016 IEEE 18th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services (Healthcom) Munich, Germany 2016 IEEE 18th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services (Healthcom) September 14-17, 2016 en 978-1-5090-3370-6 1 PascalAckermann ChristianKohlschein Jó AgilaBitsch Link KlausWehrle SabinaJeschke conference 2016-itc-caching 2016 9 ITC 28 ITC 28 GerhardHasslinger KostasNtougias FrankHasslinger OliverHohlfeld conference 2016-hohlfeld-qcman 2016 9 Assessing the impact of network delay on perceived quality of gaming has been subject to many studies involving different genres ranging from fast-paced first-person shooters to strategy games. This paper assesses the impact of network latency on the Quality of Experience (QoE) of casual gamers playing Minecraft. It is based on a user study involving 12 casual gamers with no prior experience with Minecraft. QoE is assessed using the Game Experience Questionnaire (GEQ) and dedicated questions for the overall perceived quality and experienced gameplay interruptions. The main finding is that casual Minecraft players are rather insensitive to network delay of up to 1 sec. https://i-teletraffic.org/_Resources/Persistent/bc99ba4324ebc7cf1369f09a6caa334c0203943f/Hohlfeld2016.pdf http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/7810715/?reload=true IEEE QCMan IEEE QCMan 10.1109/ITC-28.2016.313 OliverHohlfeld HannesFiedler EnricPujol DennisGuse inproceedings 2016-FICloud-Jakobs 2016 8 Online IEEE Proc.

This attack can be performed by a local passive eavesdropper – one of the weakest adversaries in the attacker model of anonymization networks such as Tor. In this paper, we present a novel website fingerprinting attack. Based on a simple and comprehensible idea, our approach outperforms all state-of-the-art methods in terms of classification accuracy while being computationally dramatically more efficient. In order to evaluate the severity of the website fingerprinting attack in reality, we collected the most representative dataset that has ever been built, where we avoid simplified assumptions made in the related work regarding selection and type of webpages and the size of the universe. Using this data, we explore the practical limits of website fingerprinting at Internet scale. Although our novel approach is by orders of magnitude computationally more efficient and superior in terms of detection accuracy, for the first time we show that no existing method – including our own – scales when applied in realistic settings. With our analysis, we explore neglected aspects of the attack and investigate the realistic probability of success for different strategies a real-world adversary may follow. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2016/2016-panchenko-ndss-fingerprinting.pdf https://www.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/~andriy/zwiebelfreunde/ Internet Society Proceedings of the 23rd Annual Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS '16), February 21-24, 2016, San Diego, CA, USA San Diego, CA, USA February 21-24, 2016 978-1-891562-41-9 10.14722/ndss.2016.23477 1 AndriyPanchenko FabianLanze AndreasZinnen MartinHenze JanPennekamp KlausWehrle ThomasEngel article 2016-kunz-tomacs-horizon ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation (TOMACS) 2016 1 26 2 12:1--12:26 The technical evolution of wireless communication technology and the need for accurately modeling these increasingly complex systems causes a steady growth in the complexity of simulation models. At the same time, multi-core systems have become the de facto standard hardware platform. Unfortunately, wireless systems pose a particular challenge for parallel execution due to a tight coupling of network entities in space and time. Moreover, model developers are often domain experts with no in-depth understanding of parallel and distributed simulation. In combination, both aspects severely limit the performance and the efficiency of existing parallelization techniques. We address these challenges by presenting parallel expanded event simulation, a novel modeling paradigm that extends discrete events with durations which span a period in simulated time. The resulting expanded events form the basis for a conservative synchronization scheme that considers overlapping expanded events eligible for parallel processing. We furthermore put these concepts into practice by implementing Horizon, a parallel expanded event simulation framework specifically tailored to the characteristics of multi-core systems. Our evaluation shows that Horizon achieves considerable speedups in synthetic as well as real-world simulation models and considerably outperforms the current state-of-the-art in distributed simulation.

To this end, independent events have to be identified to enable their simultaneous execution. Hence, the number of events identified as independent needs to be maximized in order to increase the level of parallelism. Traditionally, dependencies are determined only by time and location of events: If two events take place on the same simulation entity, they must be simulated in timestamp order. Our approach to overcome this limitation is to also investigate data-dependencies between events. This enables event reordering and parallelization even for events at the same simulation entity. To this end, we design the simulation language PSimLa, which aids this process. In this paper, we discuss the PSimLa design and compiler as well as our data-dependency analysis approach in detail and present case studies of wireless network models, speeded up by a factor of 10 on 12 cores where time-based parallelization only achieves a 1.6x speedup.

This makes early detection of depressive symptoms critical in its prevention and management. This paper presents and discusses the development of Psychologist in a Pocket (PiaP), a mental mHealth application for Android which screens and monitors for these symptoms, and–given the explicit permission of the user–alerts a trusted contact such as the mental health professional or a close friend, if it detects symptoms. All text inputted electronically–such as short message services, emails, social network posts–is analyzed based on keywords related to depression based on DSM-5 and ICD criteria as well as Beck's Cognitive Theory of Depression and the Self-Focus Model. Data evaluation and collection happen in the background, on- device, without requiring any user involvement. Currently, the application is in an early prototype phase entering initial clinical validation. fileadmin/papers/2015/2015-bitsch-phealth-piap.pdf Print Blobel, Bernd and Lindén, Maria and Ahmed, Mobyen Uddin IOS Press

While most of the current techniques are limited to research clinics and require excessive set-up, new consumer EEG devices connected to standard, off-the-shelf mobile devices allow us to lift these limitations. This allows neuropsychological assessment and research in mobile settings, possibly even in remote areas with limited accessibility and infrastructure, thus bringing the equip- ment to the patient, instead of bringing the patient to the equipment. We are developing an Android based mobile framework to perform EEG studies. By connecting a mobile consumer EEG headset directly to an unmodified mobile device, presenting auditory and visual stimuli, as well as user interaction, we create a self-contained experimental plat- form. We complement this platform by a toolkit for immediate evalua- tion of the recorded data directly on the device, even without internet connectivity. Initial results from the replication of two Event Related Potentials studies indicate the feasibility of the approach. fileadmin/papers/2015/2015-bitsch-phealth-brain.pdf Print Blobel, Bernd and Lindén, Maria and Ahmed, Mobyen Uddin IOS Press

In contrast to traditional applications, the focus is on carrying out communication at very short latencies together with high reliabilities. Meeting such extreme requirements with wireless networks is challenging. A potential candidate for such a network is a token-passing protocol, as it allows to bound latencies. However, it lacks mechanisms to cope with the dynamics of wireless channels. In this paper, we present EchoRing, a novel wireless token-passing protocol. Cooperative communication and an improved fault tolerance allow this decentralized protocol to support industrial applications over wireless networks. Based on experimental results, we demonstrate the suitability of EchoRing to support demands of industrial applications. EchoRing outperforms other schemes by several orders of magnitude in terms of reliability for latencies of and below 10ms.

By means of rotation matrices related to inertial navigation methods, the output values of a three-dimensional accelerometer or a two-dimensional inclinometer can be transformed and processed into the azimuth and dip angle of the monitored target. With the rapid growth in development and cost reduction of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) in recent years, the engineers are able to carry out real-time wireless geotechnical monitoring during construction. In this paper, we set up a one-day measurement implemented by a self- developed wireless MEMS monitoring system on the surface in the construction site of South Hongmei Road super high way tunnel in Shanghai, by making use of rotation matrices in specific ways, the raw data are processed to expressions of three-dimensional normal vectors that represent the change of the ground. After unifying the vectors in the same coordinate system, we conduct a brief ground settlement analysis by means of an evaluation of the dip angles in the cross section and the azimuths of the sensor nodes. http://www.irsm.cas.cz/index_en.php?page=acta_detail_doi&id=96 Online Institute of Rock Structure and Mechanics of the ASCR, v.v.i.

Among them, semi-static ICIC offers a balanced trade-off between applicability and system performance. The power allocation per resource block and cell is adapted in the range of seconds according to the load in the system. An open issue in the literature is the question how fast the adaptation should be performed. This leads basically to a trade-off between system performance and feasible compu- tation times of the associated power allocation problems. In this work, we close this open issue by studying the impact that different durations of update times of semi-static ICIC have on the system performance. We conduct our study on realistic scenarios considering also the mobility of mobile terminals. Secondly, we also consider the implementation aspects of a semi-static ICIC. We introduce a very efficient implementation on general purpose graphic processing units, harnessing the parallel computing capability of such devices. We show that the update periods have a significant impact on the performance of cell edge terminals. Additionally, we present a graphic processing unit (GPU) based implementation which speeds up existing implementations up to a factor of 92x.

Lifting these limitations brought about by this artificial set-up would allow us to perform neuropsychological assessments and research in mobile settings or at locations easier accessible to patients, possibly even in remote, hard to access areas. We developed a tablet based mobile framework to present auditory and visual stimuli, capture wireless commercial EEG and screen interaction data, and analyze the recorded data for immediate evaluation, as well as share the data over internet or local opportunistic links. To demonstrate the feasibility of our approach, we successfully replicated the experimental set-up and evaluation pipeline of two existing EEG studies on event-related potentials. This work therefore lays the foundation to further truly mobile brain research and health-care applications. fileadmin/papers/2014/2014-bitsch-extremcom-mobile-eeg-demo.pdf Online Hui, Pan and Lindgren, Anders ACM Proceedings of the 6th Extreme Conference on Communication Galapagos Islands, Ecuador 6th Extreme Conference on Communication August 11-15, 2014 en 978-1-4503-2929-3 1 Jó AgilaBitsch Link RoannRamos DavidOrlea KlausWehrle inproceedings 2014-bitsch-extremecom-liquid-democracy 2014 8 14 1--4 Work in Progress Paper fileadmin/papers/2014/2014-bitsch-extremecom-liquid-democracy.pdf Online Hui, Pan and Lindgren, Anders ACM Proceedings of the 6th Extreme Conference on Communication Galapagos Islands, Ecuador 6th Extreme Conference on Communication August 11-15, 2014 en 978-1-4503-2929-3 1 Jó AgilaBitsch Link AngelTchorbadjiiski KlausWehrle poster 2014-wisec-ziegeldorf-ipin 2014 7 23 rfc https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2014/2014-ziegeldorf-poster-wisec.pdf 7th ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (WiSec '14) (Poster) en 10.13140/2.1.2847.4886 1 Jan HenrikZiegeldorf NicolaiViol MartinHenze KlausWehrle inproceedings 2014-hummen-delegation 2014 6 30 284-292 iotsec;

The HIP DEX protocol design aims at reducing the overhead of the employed cryptographic primitives by omitting public-key signatures and hash functions. In doing so, the main goal is to still deliver similar security properties to HIP BEX. The HIP DEX protocol is primarily targeted at computation or memory-constrained sensor devices. Like HIP BEX, it is expected to be used together with another suitable security protocol such as the Encapsulated Security Payload (ESP) [rfc5202-bis] for the protection of upper layer protocols. HIP DEX can also be used as a keying mechanism for a MAC layer security protocol as is supported by IEEE 802.15.4 [IEEE.802-15-4.2011].

Session resumption type negotiation enables the client and the server to explicitly agree on the session resumption mechanism for subsequent handshakes, thus avoiding unnecessary overheads occurring with the existing specifications. Session resumption without client-side state additionally enables a constrained DTLS client to resume a session without the need to maintain state while the session is inactive.

Due to channel-dependent scheduling at the base station, these performance models are not simple to obtain. Furthermore, upcoming cellular systems will be interference-limited, hence, the way interference is modeled is crucial for the accuracy. In this paper we present an analytical model for the SINR distribution of the scheduled subcarriers of an OFDMA system with proportional fair scheduling. The model takes the precise SINR distribution into account. We furthermore refine our model with respect to uniform modulation and coding, as applied in LTE networks. The derived models are validated by means of simulations. In additon, we show that our models are approximate estimators for the performance of rate-based proportional fair scheduling, while they outperform some simpler prediction models from related work significantly. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2013/2013_VTC_parruca.pdf Proceedings of IEE Vehicular Telecommunications Conference (VTC-Fall 2013) Las Vegas, USA 2013 IEEE 78th Vehicular Technology Conference 2-5, September, 2013 DonaldParruca MariusGrysla SimonGörtzen JamesGross inproceedings 2013-smith-extremecom-demo 2013 8 24 1--2 won "coolest demo award" fileadmin/papers/2013/2013-smith-extremecom-opportunistic-deployment-support.pdf Online Hui, Pan and Lindgren, Anders ACM Proceedings of the 5th Extreme Conference on Communication Thorsmork, Iceland 5th Extreme Conference on Communication August 24-30, 2013 en 978-1-4503-2171-6 1 PaulSmith Jó AgilaBitsch Link KlausWehrle inproceedings 2013-bitsch-extremecom-oneway 2013 8 24 1--6 fileadmin/papers/2013/2013-bitsch-extremecom-oneway.pdf Online Hui, Pan and Lindgren, Anders ACM Proceedings of the 5th Extreme Conference on Communication Thorsmork, Iceland 5th Extreme Conference on Communication August 24-30, 2013 en 978-1-4503-2171-6 1 Jó AgilaBitsch Link AlaaAlhamoud KlausWehrle techreport draft-hummen-dtls-extended-session-resumption-00 2013 7 15 draft-hummen-dtls-extended-session-resumption-00 This draft defines two extensions for the existing session resumption mechanisms of TLS that specifically apply to Datagram TLS (DTLS) in constrained network environments. Session resumption type negotiation enables the client and the server to explicitly agree on the session resumption mechanism for subsequent handshakes, thus avoiding unnecessary overheads occurring with the existing specifications.

An application scenario is a Smart City in which the city infrastructure, cars, and people exchange information to enable new services. IP protocols, such as IPv6, TCP and HTTP will be further complemented by IPv6 over Low powerWireless Personal Area Networks and Constrained Application Protocol currently in development in IETF. Security and privacy are a must for the IP-based IoTs in order to ensure its acceptance. However, mobility, limited bandwidth, and resource-constrained devices pose new challenges and require for a sound and efficient security architecture. In particular, dynamic association of mobile smart objects and the management of keys in large-scale networks remain an open challenge. In this context, we propose a flexible security architecture based on the Host Identity Protocol and Multimedia Internet KEYing protocols allowing for secure network association and key management. HIP - based on asymmetric-key cryptography - ensures unambiguous thing identification, mobility support, as well as a lightweight and secure method for network association. In our solution, HIP is extended with MIKEY capabilities to provide enhanced key management using polynomials, which allow to generate pairwise keys with any node based on its identity. This combination of protocols and crypto-algorithms ensures both strong security and very good performance as shown by our implementation and presents clear advantages compared with other alternatives.

This technology is expected to be handled by domain experts, who perceive a WSN as a (promised to be) easy to deploy black box. This work presents the deployment experience of a WSN, as conducted by domain experts, in a ground improvement area. Building upon off-the-shelf solutions, a fuel cell powered gateway and 21 sensor devices measuring acceleration, inclination, temperature and barometric pressure were installed to monitor ground subsidence. We report about how poor GSM service, malfunctioning hardware, unknown communication patterns and obscure proprietary software required in-field ad-hoc solutions.

Dynamic scheduling brings the advantage of exploiting instantaneous channel state information while it puts on the other hand a significant burden on the system in terms of overhead and computation requirements. Especially for small packets that show up periodically, the overhead is typically too high. Therefore, the base station can serve such packet flows by the semi-persistent scheduling mode. In this mode, a certain resource allocation is fixed to a periodic schedule. While this does not allow any longer to exploit instantaneous channel states, it requires much less overhead. In this paper, we address the problem of selecting a modulation and coding scheme for such semi-persistent scheduling grants. The problem lies here in the stochastic characterization of the resource blocks over the next few seconds while on the other hand estimating based on such a characterization the blok error rate (and hence the average goodput). We provide a novel scheme, which outperforms all previously presented schemes significantly. The underlying model that we provide can also be used for any other long-term decision in an LTE system with semi-persistent scheduling such as interference coordination, handover decision etc. Long Term Evolution;decision making;dynamic scheduling;error statistics;modulation;radio links;resource allocation;stochastic processes;wireless channels;LTE networks;base station;blok error rate;data scheduling;down-link;dynamic scheduling;instantaneous channel state information;long-term decision;modulation selection;packet flows;periodic scheduling;rate selection analysis;resource allocation;resource blocks;semi-persistent scheduling mode;stochastic characterization www.performance.rwth-aachen.de/publications/conferences/2013ICNC_parruca.pdf http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6504261 San Diego, USA International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communications (ICNC) 2013 28-31 January 2013 English 978-1-4673-5287-1 10.1109/ICCNC.2013.6504261 DonaldParruca JamesGross inproceedings 2013-ccnc-lora-gossipmule 2013 1 11 Proceedings of the 1st Workshop on People Centric Sensing and Communications accepted 1 Mónica AlejandraLora Girón AlexanderPaulus KlausWehrle techreport 2013-draft-hummen-hip-middle-puzzle-01 2013 1 9 draft-hummen-hip-middle-puzzle-01 The Host Identity Protocol [RFC5201] is a secure signaling protocol with a cryptographic namespace.

This document specifies an extension of the protocol that enables an on-path network entity to assist in the choice of the puzzle difficulty in case of an attack. Furthermore, it defines a modification of the puzzle mechanism that enables a host to delegate puzzle solving to an on-path network entity.

In this approach, base stations coordinate the power settings per resource block over long time spans such as seconds. In order to optimize the power settings, one needs to employ models which predict the rate of terminals over the next coordination period under the usage of a given power setting. However, these models are typically quite simple and neglect the impact from fading as well as from dynamic resource allocation performed at the base stations on a millisecond basis. Ignoring such properties of OFDMA networks leads therefore to suboptimal transmit power settings. In this paper, we study the impact from a precise rate prediction model that accurately accounts for fading and dynamic resource allocation. On the down-side, this more precise model leads to a much more involved optimization problem to be solved once per coordination period. We propose two different heuristic methods to deal with this problem. Especially the usage of genetic algorithm results to be promising to counteract the complexity increase. We then study the overall system performance and find precise rate prediction models to be essential for semi-static interference coordination as they provide significant performance improvements in comparison to approaches with simpler models.

Durch verschieden stark abstrahierte Modelle lassen sich auf diese Weise, bereits früh in der Entwicklung verteilter Systeme, Aussagen über Performanz, Konsistenz und Korrektheit von Netzwerkprotokollen treffen. Diese Verfahren arbeiten auf explizit für den Testvorgang entworfenen Modellimplementierungen, welche zwar teilweise Quelltext mit der Produktionssoftware gemein haben, aber viele Aspekte und potentielle Fehlerquellen einer tatsächlichen Software unberücksichtigt lassen. In diesem Artikel werden die Grundlagen von Testparadigmen beschrieben, welche die Ausführung unmodifizierter Software erlauben und dabei ermöglichen, eine hohe Zuversicht in die getesteten Systeme zu gewinnen. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Optimierung von Algorithmen um die redundante Ausführung des Systems zu minimieren, wodurch sich die zum Testen benötigte Zeit um Größenordnungen verringert. http://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2012/2012-soriadustmann-pik-effizient-sde.pdf http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/piko-2012-35-issue-4/pik-2012-0043/pik-2012-0043.xml?format=INT Print Otto Spaniol De Gruyter de 0930-5157 10.1515/pik-2012-0043 OscarSoria Dustmann inproceedings 2012-Q2SWinet-Gross-Noise 2012 10 17--26 ACM Proc. of the ACM Symposium on QoS and Security for Wireless and Mobile Networks (Q2SWinet 2012) en 978-1-4503-1619-4 10.1145/2387218.2387222 1 JamesGross MarcoWeyres AdamWolisz inproceedings 2012-mass-wirtz-dlsd 2012 10 10 S. fileadmin/papers/2012/2012-mass-wirtz-dlsd.pdf Online IEEE Computer Society

In the absence of such frames, novel techniques are required for rate selection. We present OFRA, a receiver-based rate adaptation algorithm that works with ACK-less traffic. Feedback information is sent on-demand using a control frame to explicitly inform the transmitter about which bit rate to use on subsequent data frames. This approach guarantees standard conformity and exhibits fast and accurate bit rate adaptation at the cost of a modest overhead increase. We evaluate the performance of OFRA against various state-of-the-art rate adaptation schemes by means of simulations. If ACK frames are to be transmitted, OFRA performs better than related work in most considered scenarios, and on par in the others. In the absence of ACKs, OFRA provides large goodput gains under good channel conditions and comparable goodput in other situations.

However, as different codecs perform differently well under certain network conditions like delay, jitter or packet loss, this can lead to a reduction of quality if those conditions change during the call. This paper makes two core contributions: First, we compare the speech quality of a set of stan- dard VoIP codecs given different network conditions. Second, we propose an adaptive end-to-end based codec switching scheme that fully conforms to the SIP standard. Our evaluation with a real-world prototype based on Linphone shows that our codec switching scheme adapts well to changing network conditions, improving overall speech quality. crawler fileadmin/papers/2012/2012-aktas-new2an-codecswitching.pdf Online LNCS Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Next Generation Wired/Wireless Networking (NEW2AN 2012), St. Pettersburg, Russia.

Using only the accelerometer and the compass readily available in modern smartphones, we accurately localise a user on her route and provide her with turn-by-turn instructions to her destination. To compensate for inaccuracies in step detection and heading estimation, we match the detected steps onto the expected route using sequence alignment algorithms from the field of bioinformatics. As our solution integrates well with OpenStreetMap, it allows painless and cost-efficient collaborative deployment, without the need for additional infrastructure. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17489725.2012.692620 Online Taylor & Francis

Currently, the execution model is limited to symbolic input for individual nodes, not capturing the important class of timing errors resulting from varying network conditions. In this paper, we introduce symbolic system time in order to systematically find timing-related bugs in distributed systems. Instead of executing time events at a concrete time, we execute them at a set of times and analyse possible event interleavings on demand. We detail on the resulting problem space, discuss possible algorithmic optimisations, and highlight our future research directions. kleenet fileadmin/papers/2012/2012-04-taicpart-soriadustmann-symtime.pdf TAICPART'2012 en 1 OscarSoria Dustmann RaimondasSasnauskas KlausWehrle conference 2012-wns3-weingaertner-glebke-vodsim 2012 3 26 373-344 Over the past decade BitTorrent has established itself as the virtual standard for P2P file sharing in the Internet. However, it is currently not possible to investigate BitTorrent with ns-3 due to the unavailability of an according application model. In this paper we eliminate this burden. We present a highly modular BitTorrent model which allows for the easy simulation of different BitTorrent systems such as file sharing as well as present and future BitTorrent-based Video-on-Demand systems.

Although the security needs are well-recognized, it is still not fully clear how existing IP-based security protocols can be applied to this new setting. This Internet-Draft first provides an overview of security architecture, its deployment model and general security needs in the context of the lifecycle of a thing. Then, it presents challenges and requirements for the successful roll-out of new applications and usage of standard IP-based security protocols when applied to get a functional Internet of Things.

We present Gossipmule, an agent for wireless nodes that enhances the QoE perceived by users in Cooperative WLANs. Gossipmule uses mobile Crowdsensing between the wireless nodes to collect and disseminate information regarding the network.

The search for a killer application is still ongoing. Our architecture enables the community to quickly proto- type new services and test them in the real world, outside of simulators. Common tasks such as data transportation through the network is handled by the framework but can still be in uenced by the service, if required. A robust plu- gin architecture allows to deploy new applications and rout- ing schemes without aecting stable-running services on the same network, even if the source of the new plugin is un- trusted.

Leveraging only the history of geographic movement patterns in the two-hop neighborhood, our algorithm is able to perform well in the absence of knowledge of social interaction between nodes and without detailed future schedule information. Representing previously visited locations as probability distributions encoded in an efficient vector, we formalize a heuristic for efficiently forwarding messages in disruption tolerant networks, implement a framework for comparing our approach with the state of the art, and evaluate key metrics, such as hop count and delivery rate, as well as energy consumption and battery depletion fairness on real world data. We are able to outperform the state of the art in human mobility based networks considerably in terms of energy usage per node, thereby extending data network availability further into areas devoid of otherwise necessary communication infrastructure. fileadmin/papers/2011/2011-GlobeCom-bitsch-geoDTN.pdf Online

This identifier-locator split introduces anew identifier between human readable domain names and routable IPaddresses. Mapping between identifiers and locators requires additionalname mapping mechanisms because their relation is not trivial. Despite itspopularity and efficiency, the DNS system is not a perfect choice forperforming this mapping because identifiers are not hierarchicallystructured and mappings are frequently updated by users. In this paper wediscuss the features needed to resolve flat identifiers to locators in asecure manner. In particular, we focus on the features and the performancethat identifier-locator split protocols require from a mapping system. Tothis end, we consider a mapping system for an identifier-locator splitbased mobility solution and evaluate its performance.

Using quorum schemes, we schedule on and off times of the wireless transmitters, to guarantee mutual discovery with minimum power given a specific latency requirement. Neighbor discovery is fundamental to intermittently connected networks, such as disruption and delay tolerant networks and optimizing it, can lead to significant overall energy savings. Using perfect difference sets, our results indicate that we reduce the latency by up to 10 times at a duty cycle of 2% compared to the state of the art. We further define and characterize our neighbor discovery scheme with respect to fairness for asymmetric energy scenarios. Using these results, we allow energy-harvesting applications to adjust neighbor discovery based on their current energy requirements as a well defined trade-off.

In practice, this makes MANETs hard to realize. While 802.11-compliant mobile devices implement the ad-hoc mode on the hardware layer, the software layer typically does not implement support for ad-hoc networking in terms of ad-hoc routing and name resolution protocols. Modern mobile operating systems, such as Android and iOS, even hide the inherent ad-hoc functionality of the wireless card through restrictions in the OS. In contrast to this, support for the 802.11 infrastructure mode is a commodity. We propose establishing ad-hoc networks using the 802.11 infrastructure mode. In MA-Fi (Mobile Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi), a small core of mobile router nodes (RONs) provides infrastruc-ture mode network access to mobile station nodes (STANs). As RONs also act as a station in infrastructure networks of other RONs, MA-Fi achieves multi-hop communication between RON and STAN devices in the overall network. We show the creation and operation of mobile ad-hoc networks using MA-Fi. We focus on mobility of RONs and STANs as well as topology control in the overall network. fileadmin/papers/2011/2011-wirtz-wintech.pdf Online ACM

Especially in office environments many devices (e.g., printers) are very rarely turned off, because they need to be available from time to time and because it is inconvenient having to switch them on and off manually. Existing solutions, such as Wake-on-LAN (WoL), provide support for managing the power consumption of the network devices remotely using an always-on data channel. However, these solutions are inefficient, because power to the network interface has to be maintained even when the host system is asleep just to ensure remote accessibility. We propose a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based out-of-band signaling architecture for network interfaces which minimizes the systems’ power consumption during the large idle periods when nobody is using them. This is done by separating the data and control channels on the Internet-enabled devices using a low-power out-of-band signaling channel based on battery driven, energy scavenging devices. Unlike existing solutions, which only allow parts of the system to go in sleep modes, our architecture allows the whole system, including the main power supply, to be shut down. Our initial investigation indicates a significant reduction in energy consumption of devices during idle times compared to the existing in-band signaling mechanisms such as WoL.

In order to promote the participation of more actors (both Wi-Fi providers and users) and the success of this kind of emerging solutions is important to satisfy the expectations that the user has regarding the network and the services, increasing the Quality of User Experience (QoE). As one might expect the wireless nature of the Collaborative Wi-Fi Networks imposes a set of challenges those have to be addresses in order to guarantee the QoE that the users are expecting. In this talk, we outline research challenges encountered to improve the overall experience of the user of Collaborative Wi-Fi Networks. Our approach is to study the effect of the user´s perception firstly modifying the way that the user picks the Access Point during the Wireless Association. We highlight how an association based on the selection of the Access Point with the largest RSSI does not guarantee the satisfaction of the expectations of the users. Second, we explain how avoiding duplicate data packets downloaded in the same BSS, improving the throughput of the BSS and the QoE. /fileadmin/papers/2011/2011-Lora-QoMex-Abstract.pdf Online Third International Workshop on Quality of Multimedia Experience - QoMEX 2011, Mechelen, Belgium Mechelen, Belgium Third International Workshop on Quality of Multimedia Experience - QoMEX 2011 September 7 - 9, 2011 Abstract en 978-1-4577-1335-4 1 Mónica AlejandraLora Girón inproceedings 2011-wintech-alizai-tinywifi 2011 9 19-27 tinywifi fileadmin/papers/2011/2010-09-tinywifi-alizai-wintech.pdf Online ACM

This attractive testing technique of unmodified software assists developers with concrete inputs and deterministic schedules to analyze erroneous program paths. Being able to handle complex systems' software, these tools only consider single software instances and not their distributed execution which forms the core of distributed systems. The step to symbolic distributed execution is however steep, posing two core challenges: (1) additional state growth and (2) the state intra-dependencies resulting from communication. In this paper, we present SDE—a novel approach enabling scalable symbolic execution of distributed systems. The key contribution of our work is two-fold. First, we generalize the problem space of SDE and develop an algorithm significantly eliminating redundant states during testing. The key idea is to benefit from the nodes' local communication minimizing the number of states representing the distributed execution. Second, we demonstrate the practical applicability of SDE in testing with three sensornet scenarios running Contiki OS. kleenet fileadmin/papers/2011/2011-06-icdcs-sasnauskas-sde.pdf Druck IEEE Computer Society

While such means are essential to overcome distances, using infrastructure services for location-based services may not be desirable. In this paper, we analyze a fully distributed variant of an ephemeral content sharing service, solely dependent on the mobile devices in the vicinity using principles of opportunistic networking. The net result is a best effort service for floating content in which: 1) information dissemination is geographically limited; 2) the lifetime and spreading of information depends on interested nodes being available; 3) content can only be created and distributed locally; and 4) content can only be added, but not explicitly deleted. First we present our system design and summarize its analytical modeling. Then we perform extensive evaluation for a map-based mobility model in downtown Helsinki to assess the operational range for floating content, which, at the same time also validate the analytical results obtained for a more abstract model of the system. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2011/2011-percom-vaegs-floatingcontent.pdf Online IEEE

A primary concern is the considerable amount of parallelization overhead imposed on the event handling routines of the simulation framework. Besides more complex event scheduling algorithms, the main sources of overhead are thread synchronization and locking of shared data structures. As a result, the overhead of parallelization may easily outweigh the benefits of parallelization in comparison to classic sequential simulation. We introduce two efficient event handling schemes based on our parallel-simulation extension Horizon for the OMNeT++ simulator.First, we present a \emph{push-based event handling scheme} to minimize the overhead of thread synchronization and locking. Second, we complement this scheme with a novel \emph{event scheduling algorithm} that significantly reduces the overhead of parallel event scheduling. Lastly, we prove the correctness of our scheduling algorithm. Our evaluation reveals a total reduction in the event handling overhead of up to 16x when combining both schemes. horizon fileadmin/papers/2011/2011-kunz-horizon-omnetworkshop.pdf Online ICST

Their main objective is to solve the scalability issue of ad-hoc networks by grouping nodes into clusters. The challenge in MANETs for those clustering algorithms is to cope with the high node mobility which affects the stability of the cluster structures. Wireless mesh networks consist of a static backbone and a number of mobile nodes. In the backbone of a wireless mesh network the topology is relatively static. However, topology changes occur due to frequent link losses and temporary link instability. Due to the static nature of the backbone, mobility-based approaches are not suitable in this case. In this paper, we state the important aspects for stable clustering in wireless mesh networks with unidirectional links based on the investigation of a 45-node wireless mesh testbed. We analyze well-known clustering algorithms and their performance in a large-scale testbed. Finally, we propose a new clustering algorithm called Stable Link Clustering Algorithm (SLCA). fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-lora-clustering-MESH.pdf http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=5683417 Print IEEE Proceedings of the IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM 2010, Miami, USA Miami, FL, USA IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, GLOBECOM 2010 6 - 10 December 2010 en 978-1-4244-5636-9 10.1109/GLOCOM.2010.5683417 1 MartinKrebs AndréStein Mónica AlejandraLora Girón inproceedings 2010-lora-CoNEXTStudent-ELA-Workshop 2010 11 1 Nowadays, mobile wireless users are in constant demand of connectivity. Satisfying the connectivity requirements of the users requires a large amount of Access Points (APs) in order to enlarge the wireless service coverage. Wireless Metropolitan Area Sharing Networks (WMSN) are a low cost alternative that fulfill this high degree of user requirements. On WMSN certain places will experiment congestion when a large number of users are associated with the same device. For this reason, new mechanisms are required with the aim of satisfy the Quality of User Experience (QoE). The Experience Level Agreements (ELA) definition for WMSN is a formal way to characterize the requirements of the users and permits having measuring functions for this kind of network, which helps to improve the QoE. fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-lora-agreements-WMSN.pdf http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=1921206.1921215 Digital ACM

We integrate the KleeNet symbolic execution engine with the COOJA network simulator to allow for straight-forward and intuitive high-coverage testing initiated from a simulation environment. A tight coupling of simulation and testing helps detect, narrow down, and fix complex interaction bugs in an early development phase. We demonstrate the seamless transition between COOJA simulation and KleeNet symbolic execution.

Henderson TobiasHeer inproceedings 2010-kunz-mascots-horizon 2010 8 18 172-181 The simulation models of wireless networks rapidly increase in complexity to accurately model wireless channel characteristics and the properties of advanced transmission technologies. Such detailed models typically lead to a high computational load per simulation event that accumulates to extensive simulation runtimes. Reducing runtimes through parallelization is challenging since it depends on detecting causally independent events that can execute concurrently. Most existing approaches base this detection on lookaheads derived from channel propagation latency or protocol characteristics. In wireless networks, these lookaheads are typically short, causing the potential for parallelization and the achievable speedup to remain small. This paper presents Horizon, which unlocks a substantial portion of a simulation model's workload for parallelization by going beyond the traditional lookahead. We show how to augment discrete events with durations to identify a much larger horizon of independent simulation events and efficiently schedule them on multi-core systems. Our evaluation shows that this approach can significantly cut down the runtime of simulations, in particular for complex and accurate models of wireless networks. horizon fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-kunz-mascots-horizon.pdf Online IEEE Computer Society

For municipalities, it is often challenging to achieve the bandwidth and coverage that is necessary for many of the envisioned network services. At the same time, Wi-Fi-sharing communities achieve high bandwidth and good coverage at a very low cost by capitalizing on the dense deployment of private access points in urban areas. However, from a technical, conceptual, and security perspective, Wi-Fi sharing community networks resemble a patchwork of heterogeneous networks instead of one well-planned city-wide network. This patchwork character stands in stark contrast to a uniform, secure platform for public and commercial services desirable for the economic success of such a network. Hence, despite its cost-efficiency, the community-based approach cannot be adopted by municipalities easily. In this paper, we show how to realize municipal wireless services on top of a Wi-Fi-sharing infrastructure in a technically sound and economically attractive fashion. In particular, we focus on how to securely provide services to mobile clients with and without client-side software support. Our solution cleanly separates the roles of controlling and administering the network from providing bandwidth and wireless access. With this separation, commercial ISPs and citizens with their private Wi-Fi can contribute to the network infrastructure. This allows municipalities in turn to focus their resources on municipal wireless services. mobile_access http://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-heer-icc-pisa-sa.pdf Print IEEE Press

The high level of modeling detail (hardware elements are partially modeled in a cycle-accurate fashion) is required for many core design tasks. At the same time, the high computational complexity of virtual platforms caused by the detailed level of simulation hinders their application for modeling large networks of embedded systems. In this paper, we propose the integration of virtual platforms with network simulations, combining the accuracy of virtual platforms with the versatility and scalability of network simulation tools. Forming such a hybrid toolchain facilitates the detailed analysis of embedded network systems and related important design aspects, such as resource effectiveness, prior to their actual deployment. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-schuermans-weingaertner-network_centric.pdf Online IEEE Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), Cape Town, South Africa, May 23-27 en 978-1-4244-6402-9 1550-3607 10.1109/ICC.2010.5502185 1 StefanSchürmanns EliasWeingaertner TorstenKempf GerdAscheid KlausWehrle RainerLeupers inproceedings 201004vaegsieeestudentpad 2010 5 20 5-8 The lack of permanent network infrastructure and often unplanned deployments in many multihop wireless communication scenarios restrict nodes to determine their own addresses based on the underlying connectivity in the network. However, due to unreliable connectivity and rapidly changing link qualities in wireless networks, establishing uniform addressing and stable point-to-point routing is challenging. In this paper, we present Statistical Vector Routing (SVR), a virtual coordinates based addressing and routing mechanism that efficiently deals with dynamic communication links in wireless networks. It assigns stable probabilistic addresses to nodes without the need to pessimistically estimate links over longer periods of time. The routing metric predicts the current location of a node in its address distribution. Our prototype implementation over real testbeds indicates that SVR, when compared to current approaches, achieves 3 times more stable addressing, reduces the magnitude of change in addresses by 2-10 times, and minimizes the hop distance and transmissions in the network by 10-15%. wld https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-vaegs-wehrle-probabilistic_addressing.pdf Print Hamburg University of Technology

In a CWN, some hot-spot areas may experience the problem of sporadic congestions. The appearance of this localized congestion adversely impacts the network performance in terms of effective throughput, leading to a Quality of User Experience (QoE) degradation. The challenge then is how to ensure the QoE for the access to services, in this unplanned type of networks. This paper proposes a QoE for CWN with no centralized entities, which is based on the IEEE 802.11e amendment to the IEEE 802.11 Standard, and employs a game theory approach. The proposed scheme permits the distribution of the load between different Access Points. It also provides to the users a mechanism for the selection of the best Access Point in order to satisfy their requirements, and to guarantee the equilibrium in the network. fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-lora-QoE-Cooperative.pdf Online Gunnar Stevens, Volkmar Pipek and Markus Rohde IISI - International Institute for Socio-Informatics

A main challenge is to detect bugs that occur due to non-deterministic events, such as node reboots or packet duplicates. Often, these events have the potential to drive a sensor network and its applications into corner-case situations, exhibiting bugs that are hard to detect using existing testing and debugging techniques. In this paper, we present KleeNet, a debugging environment that effectively discovers such bugs before deployment. KleeNet executes unmodified sensor network applications on symbolic input and automatically injects non-deterministic failures. As a result, KleeNet generates distributed execution paths at high-coverage, including low-probability corner-case situations. As a case study, we integrated KleeNet into the Contiki OS and show its effectiveness by detecting four insidious bugs in the uIP TCP/IP protocol stack. One of these bugs is critical and lead to refusal of further connections. automated protocol testing, experimentation, failure detection, wireless sensor networks kleenet fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-04-ipsn-sasnauskas-KleeNet.pdf Print ACM

The goals of these networks are to bridge the digital divide, stimulate innovation, support economic growth, and increase city operations efficiency. While establishing such urban networks is financially challenging for municipalities, Wi-Fi-sharing communities accomplish good coverage and ubiquitous Internet access by capitalizing on the dense deployment of private access points in urban residential areas. By combining Wi-Fi communities and municipal Wi-Fi, a collaborative municipal Wi-Fi system promises cheap and ubiquitous access to mobile city services. However, the differences in intent, philosophy, and technical realization between community and municipal Wi-Fi networks prevent a straight-forward combination of both approaches. In this paper, we highlight the conceptual and technical challenges that need to be solved to create collaborative municipal Wi-Fi networks. mobile_access http://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-heer-percomws-collaborative-municipal-wi-fi.pdf Print IEEE Press

To further increase flexibility, we believe cross-layer architectures should adapt themselves to these changing conditions, just as they adapt the network stack, devices, and applications. In this paper, we propose CRAWLER, a novel cross-layer architecture that combines three core properties: signaling between all layers and system components; extensibility and adaptability at runtime; and high usability for cross-layer developers. CRAWLER increases flexibility, as well as expediting and simplifying cross- layer development.

The novelty of the proposed method is the incorporation of both, speech bits as well as protocol header bits, into the ISCD process. The header bits take the role of pilot bits having perfect reliability. These bits are distributed over the frame as strong supporting points for the MAP decoder which results in a significant enhancement of the output speech quality compared to the benchmark scheme using ISCD for speech only. For this approach, we exploit new cross-layer concepts that support the direct communication between non-adjacent layers. These concepts enable the iterative exchange of extrinsic information between the source decoder located on the application layer and the channel decoder located on the physical layer. This technique can also be applied to audio and video transmission. refector fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-01-scc-breddermann-iscd.pdf CD-ROM / DVD-ROM Rudolf Mathar, Christoph Ruland VDE Verlag

Towards new challenges for innovative management practices en 2100-0778 1 KaiJakobs ThomasWagner KaiReimers inproceedings 20105munawardynamictinyos 2010 1-6 Long-term deployments of sensor networks in physically inaccessible environments make remote re-programmability of sensor nodes a necessity. Ranging from full image replacement to virtual machines, a variety of mechanisms exist today to deploy new software or to fix bugs in deployed systems. However, TinyOS - the current state of the art sensor node operating system - is still limited to full image replacement as nodes execute a statically-linked system-image generated at compilation time. In this paper we introduce Dynamic TinyOS to enable the dynamic exchange of software components and thus incrementally update the operating system and its applications. The core idea is to preserve the modularity of TinyOS, i.e. its componentization, which is lost during the normal compilation process, and enable runtime composition of TinyOS components on the sensor node. The proposed solution integrates seamlessly into the system architecture of TinyOS: It does not require any changes to the programming model of TinyOS and existing components can be reused transparently. Our evaluation shows that Dynamic TinyOS incurs a low performance overhead while keeping a smaller - upto one third - memory footprint than other comparable solutions. fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-05-icc-munawar-DynamicTinyOS.pdf Online IEEE Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), Cape Town, South Africa en 978-1-4244-6402-9 1550-3607 1 WaqaasMunawar Muhammad HamadAlizai OlafLandsiedel KlausWehrle inproceedings 2010-ARCS-alizai-promotingpower 2010 387-392 Accurate prediction of energy consumption early in the design process is essential to efficiently optimize algorithms and protocols. However, despite energy efficiency gathering significant attention in networking research, limited effort has been invested in providing requisite evaluation tools and models. Hence, developers demand powerful evaluation tools to assist them in comparing new communication paradigms in terms of energy efficiency, and minimizing the energy requirements of algorithms. In this paper, we argue for promoting energy to a first class metric in network simulations. We explore the challenges involved in modelling energy in network simulations and present a detailed analysis of different modelling techniques. Finally, we discuss their applicability in high-level network simulations. fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-2-ARCS-alizai-promoting-power.pdf Print VDE-VERLAG

Dis- tributed applications exhibit many advantages over classical client-server models regarding scalability, fault tolerance, and cost. Unfortunately, the distributed system operation also brings many security threats along that challenge their performance and reliability. In particular, faulty or mis- behaving nodes cannot collude to subvert the system operation. This paper addresses the above threats by applying cooperative security techniques to relevant distributed systems in the Internet. Our goal is to present methods that allow the peers to bootstrap basic trust relation- ships at the time of joining a distributed network and remove the peers if trust is lost. We consider the specific security caveats of the analyzed sys- tems, investigate the applicability of existing cooperative security-based protocols, and propose general design guidelines for cooperative-security protocol in described distributed systems.

The privacy and confidentiality of medical data need to be guaranteed at any moment to make sure that unauthorized parties cannot retrieve confidential information. This is a great challenge due to two main reasons. First, wireless sensors are resource-constrained devices that limit the applicability of traditional solutions. Second, the access control system must be context-aware and adapt its security settings to ensure the users' safety during, e.g., medical emergencies. To solve these issues, this paper presents a modular context-aware access control system tailored to pervasive medical sensor networks in which the access control decisions and the response delay depend upon the health acuteness of a user. Our system extends traditional role-based access control systems by allowing for context-awareness in critical, emergency, and normal access control situations. We further present a lightweight encoding for our modular access control policies as well as an access control engine efficiently running on resource-constrained sensor nodes. Finally, we analyze how the proposed access control system suits existing security architectures for medical sensor networks.

Current link estimators focus mainly on identifying long-term stable links for routing, leaving out a potentiality large set of intermediate links offering significant routing progress. Fine-grained analysis of link qualities reveals that such intermediate links are bursty, i.e., stable in the short term. In this paper, we use short-term estimation of wireless links to accurately identify short-term stable periods of transmission on bursty links. Our approach allows a routing protocol to forward packets over bursty links if they offer better routing progress than long-term stable links. We integrate a Short Term Link Estimator and its associated routing strategy with a standard routing protocol for sensor networks. Our evaluation reveals an average of 22% reduction in the overall transmissions when routing over long-range bursty links. Our approach is not tied to any special routing protocol and integrates seamlessly with existing routing protocols and link estimators. wld fileadmin/papers/2009/2009-08-alizai-fgsn-bursty-routing.pdf doku.b.tu-harburg.de/volltexte/2009/581/pdf/proceedings.pdf Print Technical University Hamburg

It provides fine-grained definition of variation points, but brings highly complex structures into the source code. The software gets more difficult to understand, to maintain and to integrate changes. Current approaches for modeling and managing vari- ability on source code do not consider the specific requirements of the automotive domain. To close this gap, we propose a model- driven approach to support software engineers in handling source code variability and configuration of software variants. For this purpose, a variability model is developed that is linked with the source code. Using this approach, a software engineer can shift work steps to the variability model in order to model and manage variation points and implement their variants in the source code. automotive software engineering; programming; model-driven engineering; variability modeling; Online CEUR 1st International Workshop on Model-driven Approaches in Software Product Line Engineering (MAPLE), San Francisco, CA, USA 1613-0073 1 CemMengi ChristianFuß RubenZimmermann IsmetAktas inproceedings securityforpervasivemedicalsensornetworks 2009 7 13 1 http://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2009/2009-garcia-mobiq.pdf Print IEEE Press

ProMoX uses the Xen hypervisor to virtualize entire instances of operating systems which may execute any arbitrary protocol implementation. By utilizing system virtualization for external monitoring, ProMoX can transparently inspect any protocol state and performance metrics of protocol implementations carried by a guest operating system. This way, ProMoX supports both the indentification of faults within early prototypes as well as the evaluation of new protocol designs. Accepted for publication online EASST

While ns-2 has established itself as virtually the standard network simulation tool, other network simulators have gained more and more attention during the last years. In this paper, we briefly survey new developments in the field of network simulation and conduct a performance comparison study by implementing an identical simulation set-up in five simulators, namely ns-2, OMNet++, ns-3, SimPy and JiST/SWANS. Our results reveal large differences according to both run-time performance and memory usage. http://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2009/2009-weingaertner-simulator_comparison.pdf Print IEEE Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Communications 2009 (ICC 2009) Dresden, Germany en 1 EliasWeingaertner Hendrikvom Lehn KlausWehrle inproceedings Gross09 2009 220--233 Proc. of the 8th International IFIP Networking Conference (NETWORKING'09) JamesGross OscarPuñal MarcEmmelmann inproceedings 2009-thissen-GI-IMS 2009 2561-2573 Print S.

However, communication is typically performed with a static set of protocols selected at design time based on simplified assumptions ignoring the environment's heterogeneity. In this paper, we argue that protocols can be orchestrated as software components driven purely by their functionality and the demands of the execution environment. Our end-system protocol framework Adapt bases on extensible ontological models that semantically describe protocol and environment properties. At runtime, each connection receives a custom-tailored protocol stack that Adapt orchestrates from the requirements derived from the application, user, and environment. With this approach, end-systems can reason about the functionality and quality of automatically composed and adapted protocol compounds while remaining open to existing and future protocols. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2009/2009-goetz-mobiarch-protocol-orchestration.pdf print Krzysztof Zielinski and Adam Wolisz and Jason Flinn and Anthony LaMarca ACM

They also inspect and filter traffic, detect network intrusion, control access to network resources, and enforce different levels of quality of service. The cornerstones for these security-related network services are end-host authentication and authorization. Using a cryptographic namespace for end-hosts simplifies these tasks since it gives them an explicit and verifiable identity. The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) is a key-exchange protocol that introduces such a cryptographic namespace for secure end-to-end communication. Although HIP was designed with middleboxes in mind, these cannot securely use its namespace because the on-path identity verification is susceptible to replay attacks. Moreover, the binding between HIP as an authentication protocol and IPsec as payload transport is insufficient because on-path middleboxes cannot securely map payload packets to a HIP association. In this paper, we propose to prevent replays attack by treating packet-forwarding middleboxes as first-class citizens that directly interact with end-hosts. Also we propose a method for strengthening the binding between the HIP authentication process and its payload channel with hash-chain-based authorization tokens for IPsec. Our solution allows on-path middleboxes to efficiently leverage cryptographic end-host identities and integrates cleanly into existing protocol standards. mobile_access http://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2009/2009-heer-icc-end-host-authentication.pdf Print Piscataway, NJ, USA

Service providers are able to specify the type and requirements of a service; clients can then decide to agree on the terms of service.

The typical static classification into network layers or class hierarchies cannot appropriately accommodate cross-cutting changes such as overlay routing or cross-layer signaling.

The space and weight constraints resulting from the size of the animals have led to simple but functional approaches for vocalization classification and position estimation. For the resulting data we have developed novel, delay-tolerant routing and collection strategies. These are expected to be used in a sparse, dynamic network resulting from various rats being tagged with our nodes and running around freely - an area that will eventually be too big to be covered solely by stationary data sinks. Furthermore, the system is designed to extract information on the social interactions between animals from the routing data. It currently works in an indoor environment and we are preparing it for tests in a controlled outdoor setup.

Furthermore, Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs), due to their features, are used more and more for file-sharing and content distribution applications. However, a major weakness of traditional DHTs is the search for stored content, as data is assigned to nodes based on hash functions, and the very nature of hash tables allows only exact pattern matches. We present Cerco, a solution for the problem of range queries by using the principles of order-preserving DHTs and a hierarchically structured P2P approach. To guarantee an efficient routing and load balancing, Cerco uses a dynamic hierarchy of DHTs by creating subrings on demand and two explicit load balancing strategies. Our evaluation shows that Cerco is able to achieve the goals of supporting range queries, logarithmic-hop routing, and efficient load balancing.

To leverage this coverage, sharing of access points as Internet uplinks among users has first become popular in communities of individuals and has recently been adopted as a business model by several companies. However, existing implementations and proposals suffer from the security risks of directly providing Internet access to strangers. In this paper, we present the P2P Wi-Fi Internet Sharing Architecture PISA, which eliminates these risks by introducing secure tunneling, cryptographic identities, and certificates as primary security concepts. Thus, PISA offers nomadic users the same security that they expect from a wired Internet connection at home. Based on its three fundamental mechanisms, PISA achieves a flexibility which opens significant advantages over existing systems. They include user mobility, anonymity, service levels with different performance and availability characteristics, and different revenue models for operators. With this combination of key features, PISA forms an essential basis for global, seamless, and secure Wi-Fi sharing for large communities. mobile_access http://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2008/2008-heer-ict-secure-wifi.pdf Print IEEE

Unstable links, although often promising to be of large routing progress, are not considered for packet forwarding as link estimators typically cannot handle their dynamics. In this paper we introduce short-term link estimation to capture link dynamics at a high resolution in time and to identify when these render a link temporarily reliable or unreliable. We identify such dynamics based on packet overhearing, predict short-term availability and unavailability, and adapt neighbor tables, thereby enlarging the set of links useable by any routing algorithm. Additionally, we show that short-term link estimation integrates seamlessly into today's sensor network link estimators and routing protocols. wld fileadmin/papers/2008/2008-becher-hotemnets-linkestimation.pdf Online ACM Press

So far the distribution of load, caused by the players in these games, is not distributed dynamically. After the launch of a new game, the introduction of new content, during special ingame events, or also during normal operations, players tend to concentrate in certain regions of the game worlds and cause overload conditions. Therefore we propose the use of structured P2P technology for the server infrastructure of the MMOGs to improve the reliability and scalability. Previous work segmented the game work into rectangular areas; however this approach often split a group of players to different servers, causing additional overhead. This work presents a cluster-based Peer-to-Peer approach, which can be used for load balancing in MMOGs or in other virtual worlds. The system is able to dynamically adapt to the current state of the game and handle uneven distributions of the players in the game world. We show through simulation, also with traces from real online games, that the cluster-based approach performs better than the previous P2P-based systems, which split the world in rectangular areas.

Until now, the simulation in charge of representing the network has been required to be real-time capable, as otherwise a time drift between the simulation and the real network devices may occur and corrupt the results. In this paper, we present our work on synchronized network emulation. By adding a central synchronization entity and by virtualizing real systems for means of control, we can build-up network emulations which contain both unmodified x86 systems and network simulations of any complexity.

However, today only cycle accurate emulation and test-beds provide a detailed and accurate insight into the temporal behavior of sensor networks. In this paper we introduce fine grained, automated instrumentation of simulation models with cycle counts derived from sensor nodes and application binaries to provide detailed timing information. The presented approach bridges the gap between scalable but abstracting simulation and cycle accurate emulation for sensor network evaluation. By mapping device-specific code with simulation models, we can derive the time and duration a certain code line takes to get executed on a sensor node. Hence, eliminating the need to use expensive instruction-level emulators with limited speed and restricted scalability. Furthermore, the proposed design is not bound to a specific hardware platform, a major advantage compared to existing emulators. Our evaluation shows that the proposed technique achieves a timing accuracy of 99% compared to emulation while adding only a small overhead. Concluding, it combines essential properties like accuracy, speed and scalability on a single simulation platform. fileadmin/papers/2008/2008-04-IPSN-2008-landsiedel-Timing-Matters.pdf Print IEEE Computer Society

Within the talk, we present our work on the novel paradigm of Hybrid Sensor-Vehicular Networks (HSVNs) and their contribution to next-generation network architectures. The idea behind Hybrid Sensor-Vehicular Networks is to deploy sensor nodes within the road environment. For example, it is imaginable that future roads will be equipped with sensor nodes that are able to sense environmental events, such as ice, aquaplaning or structural damages. Those events are gathered locally using a wireless sensor network and are delivered directly to vehicles that pass by. Afterwards, information is spread in a wider area using the VANET. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2007/2007-eurongi-hybrid-wsn-weingaertner-kargl.pdf http://www3.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/euroview/2007/program.shtml online EuroNGI online Proceedings of 7th Würzburg Workshop on IP "Visions of Future Generation Networks" (EuroView2007) Würzburg, Germany 7th Würzburg Workshop on IP "Visions of Future Generation Networks" (EuroView2007) 23.7.2007 / 24.7.2007 en none none 1 EliasWeingaertner FrankKargl inproceedings 200707BitschSNFGRatPack 2007 7 16 2007-11 95 -- 97 The goal of this project is to describe the behaviour of rats. To study this behaviour, we will resort to the use of wireless sensor networks, monitoring various quantities that yield important information to complement current knowledge on the behavioural repertoire of rats. The challenges we face include data acquisition and processing on the one hand, as rat-borne sensor nodes will need to be small enough not to interfere with the rats' own activities, thus limiting the available memory and processing capabilities. Additionally, rats spend a significant amount of time underground, making data transmission and routing a very interesting challenge, for which we are currently developing novel strategies.

Typical wireless data communication will not only occur in short range scenarios like hotspots in airports, city centres, exhibition halls, etc., but also in wide area environments, e.g. a moving car in a rural environment. Data services will require a ubiquitous mobile radio system and demand better quality of service, like high data rates and low delays. Two promising concepts for future mobile radio communication are the deployment of relays and the ability to adapt to various deployment strategies by using different radio access technologies, i.e. modes with a common technology basis. The former concept allows enlarging the cell coverage. Relays are not wired connected and consequently a cost-efficient alternative to base stations that work in a decode-and-forward principle. The latter concept provides modes that are tailored solutions for specific environments and thus allow the adaptation to various scenarios by selecting the most adequate one. The aim of this work is to merge the advantages taken from both concepts to one solution. Wireless Communications and Networking Conference, 2007.

However, node mobility and the continually changing physical topology pose a special challenge to scalability and the design of a DHT for mobile ad-hoc networks. In this paper, we show that with some local knowledge we can build a scalable and mobile structured peer-to-peer network, called Mobile Hash Table (MHT). Furthermore, we discuss practical challenges such as Churn, load balacing and security of the Mobile Hash Table. A special focus is put on the differences and new challenges that the use of a DHT in a mobile environment poses. http://it-Information-Technology.de Print Oldenbourg Verlag

In Onion Routing a static tunnel through an overlay network is build via layered encryption. All traffic exchanged by its end points is relayed through this tunnel.In contrast, this paper introduces dynamic multipath Onion Routing to extend the static Onion Routing paradigm. This approach allows each packet exchanged between two end points to travel along a different path. To provide anonymity the first half of this path is selected by the sender and the second half by the receiver of the packet. The results are manifold: First, dynamic multipath Onion Routing increases the resilience against threats, especially pattern and timing based analysis attacks. Second, the dynamic paths reduce the impact of misbehaving and overloaded relays. Finally, inspired by Internet routing, the forwarding nodes do not need to maintain any state about ongoing flows and so reduce the complexity of the router. In this paper, we describe the design of our dynamic Multipath Onion Router (MORE) for peer-to-peer overlay networks, and evaluate its performance. Furthermore, we integrate address virtualization to abstract from Internet addresses and provide transparent support for IP applications. Thus, no application-level gateways, proxies or modifications of applications are required to sanitize protocols from network level information. Acting as an IP-datagram service, our scheme provides a substrate for anonymous communication to a wide range of applications using TCP and UDP.

The goal of LHIP is to reduce the computational requirements of the Host Identifier Protocol (HIP), thus, making its benefits, such as end-host mobility and multihoming, accessible to CPU-restricted devices. LHIP reduces the computational cost of establishing, updating, and closing a HIP association by providing an alternative way of signing and verifying HIP control packets which is based on computationally inexpensive hash function computations and hash chains. However, LHIP does not provide nor does it aim at providing the same level of security as HIP does. Especially, host authentication and payload encryption are not possible. The LHIP extensions in this draft specify also mechanisms for dynamic transitioning between lightweight and full HIP associations on the fly.

The key space of the so-called Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) is partitioned and each partition with its keys and values is assigned to a node in the DHT. For data retrieval however, the very nature of hash tables allows only exact pattern matches. We propose Cerco, a simple solution for the problem of range queries by employing a hierarchically structured P2P approach based on the principles of Distributed Hash Tables. We show that a dynamic hierarchy of DHTs with on-demand classification of items can positively influence the response time of queries while maintaining lookup correctness.

In this paper, we present modular and flexible communication protocols as an efficient substrate to address these shortcomings. Their modularity allows recomposing a protocol dynamically at runtime and adapting it to the changing needs of a deployed sensor network. 5th GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch "Wireless Sensor Networks", Stuttgart, Germany OlafLandsiedel KlausWehrle conference 200607landsiedelngimodels 2006 In this talk we discuss the increasing need for flexible and modular simulation models and our ongoing work in this area. Although a huge number of simulation models are available today, these models do not interoperate and cannot be easily combined to form a full protocol simulation stack.

We present our design, implementation, and experience with OCALA, an overlay convergence architecture that achieves this goal. OCALA interposes an overlay convergence layer below the transport layer. This layer is composed of an overlay independent sub-layer that interfaces with legacy applications, and an overlay dependent sub-layer that delivers packets to the overlay. Unlike previous efforts, OCALA enables: (a) simultaneous access to multiple overlays (b) communication between hosts in different overlays (c) communication between overlay hosts and legacy hosts (d) extensibility, allowing researchers to incorporate their overlays into OCALA. We currently support five overlays, i3 [32], RON [1], HIP [19], DOA [39] and OverDoSe [31] on Linux, Windows XP/2000 and Mac OS X. We (and a few other research groups and end-users) have used OCALA for over a year with many legacy applications ranging from web browsers to remote desktop applications.

In this paper, we explore how DHTs and mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) fit together. We argue that both share key characteristics in terms of self organization, decentralization, redundancy requirements, and limited infrastructure. However, node mobility and the continually changing physical topology pose a special challenge to scalability and the design of a DHT for mobile ad-hoc networks. In this paper, we show that with some local knowledge we can build a scalable and mobile structured peer-to-peer network, called Mobile Hash Table (MHT). Furthermore, we argue that with little global knowledge, such as a map of the city or whatever area the nodes move in, one can even further improve the scalability and reduce DHT maintenance overhead significantly, allowing MHT to scale up to several ten thousands of nodes. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2006/2006-landsiedel-p2p-mobility.pdf print IEEE

In this paper we present SARA (Anonymous Overlay Routing Providing Sender And Receiver Anonymity), which enables sender, receiver and relationship anonymity using layered encryption and distributed traffic mixes, similar to a Chaumian Mix. Via IP-datagram service and address virtualization it is fully transparent to applications. Organized as structured Peer-To-Peer system, SARA is highly scalable and fault tolerant. In SARA each communication partner randomly selects a number of nodes from the overlay and concatenates them to an anonymous communication path. The sender selects the head of the path, the receiver builds the tail and publishes this information in the overlay network using an anonymous ID. Via this ID the sender retrieves the tail nodes of the path and concatenates both path section. Layered encryption hides the identities of the sender, receiver and the intermediate nodes. 5.

As the Windows CIFS protocol was designed for local area networks, its use has been con?ned to relatively small environments.

Most simulation efforts focus on protocol- and algorithm-level issues, thus depending on the right choice and configuration of models. However, as such models commonly neglect time dependent issues, many research challenges, like energy consumption and radio channel utilization still remain. In this article we present two new tools to model and analyze sensor networks: Avrora, a fast and accurate sensor network simulator, and AEON, a novel tool built on top of Avrora, to evaluate the energy consumption and to accurately predict the lifetime of sensor networks. Avrora is a highly scalable instruction-level simulator for sensor network programs. It simulates the execution of the program down to the level of individual clock cycles, a time quantum of about 135 ns. By incorporating state of the art simulation techniques, including an efficiently maintained event queue, fast-forward through sleep-time, and parallel simulation, it can simulate entire networks of nodes in real time. AEON's energy model is based on Avrora and makes use of the cycle accurate execution of sensor node applications for precise energy measurements. Due to limited energy resources, power consumption is a crucial characteristic of sensor networks. AEON uses accurate measurements of node current draw and the execution of real code to enable accurate prediction of the actual power consumption of sensor nodes. Consequently, it prevents erroneous assumptions on node and network lifetime. Moreover, our detailed energy model allows to compare different low power and energy aware approaches in terms of energy efficiency. Thus, it enables a highly precise estimation of the overall lifetime of a sensor network.

T-DHTs do not rely on location information and work even in the presence of voids in the network. Using a virtual coordinate system, we construct a distributed hash table which is strongly oriented to the underlying network topology. Thus, adjacent areas in the hash table commonly have a direct link in the network. Routing in the T-DHT guarantees reachability and introduces low hop-overhead compared with the shortest path.

Although recent research focuses strongly on energy aware applications and operating systems, power consumption is still a limiting factor. Once sensor nodes are deployed, it is challenging and sometimes even impossible to change batteries. As a result, erroneous lifetime prediction causes high costs and may render a sensor network useless, before its purpose is fulfilled. In this paper we present AEON, a novel evaluation tool to quantitatively predict power consumption of sensor nodes and whole sensor networks. Our energy model, based on measurements of node current draw and the execution of real code, enables accurate prediction of the actual power consumption of sensor nodes. Consequently, preventing erroneous assumptions on node and network lifetime. Moreover, our detailed energy model allows to compare different low power and energy aware approaches in terms of energy efficiency.

A large variety of solutions have been proposed to flexibly compose such services and to provide quality-of-service guarantees for the resulting contents. However, low-level mobility artifacts resulting from network transitions (disconnected operation, reconfiguration, etc.) still prevent a seamless user experience of these technologies. This paper presents an architecture for supporting legacy applications with such solutions in mobile scenarios. Through network virtualization, it hides mobility artifacts and ensures connectivity at the network and transport level. Its adoption for multimedia applications poses unique challenges and advantages, which are discussed herein. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2005/2005-goetz-mmc-transparent-service-composition.pdf print Wolf-Tilo Balke and Klara Nahrstedt ACM

However, despite sustained efforts, few overlays are used widely. Providing support for legacy Internet applications to access such overlays would significantly expand the user base of the overlays, as the users can instantly benefit from the overlay functionality. We present the design and implementation of OCALA, an Overlay Convergence Architecture for Legacy Applications. Unlike previous efforts, OCALA allows users to access different overlays simultaneously, as well as hosts in different overlays to communicate with each other. In addition, OCALA reduces the implementation burden on the overlay developers, by factoring out the functions commonly required to support legacy applications, such as tapping legacy traffic, authentication and encryption. Our implementation of OCALA as a proxy requires no changes to the applications or operating systems. We currently support two overlays, i3 and RON, on Linux and Windows XP/2000 platforms. We (and a few other research groups and end-users) have used the proxy over a eleven-month period with many legacy applications ranging from web browsers to remote desktop applications. http://ocala.cs.berkeley.edu

Distributed hash tables (DHT) are designed for highly scalable, self-organizing, and efficient distribution and lookup of data, whereby data is stored globally persistent. The range of values of the corresponding hash function is partitioned and each interval is assigned to a node of the DHT. Because the assignment of data to nodes is based on hash functions, one assumes that the respective data load is distributed evenly across all participating nodes. However most DHT show difficulties with load balancing as we demonstrate in this paper. As a solution for this problem, we present a new and very simple approach for balancing stored data between peers in a fashion analogous to the dissipation of heat energy in materials. We compare this algorithm with other approaches for load balancing and present results based on simulations and a prototype implementation. This new algorithm improves the distribution of load in DHT without requiring major changes of the DHT themselves. In addition, we show that the fault tolerance of peer-to-peer systems is increased by the proposed algorithm. http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?isnumber=29935&arnumber=1367197&count=128&index=2 Print IEEE Press Proceedings of LCN 2004 – 29th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks IEEE Tampa, Florida, USA LCN 2004 – 29th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks November 2004 en 0-7695-2260-2 10.1109/LCN.2004.10 SimonRieche LeoPetrak KlausWehrle inproceedings 200410riechehotp2preliability 2004 10 108-113 Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are very useful for managing large amounts of widely distributed data. For this purpose Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) offer a highly scalable and self-organizing paradigm for efficient distribution and retrieval of data. Thereby a common assumption of P2P-Systems is, that the participating nodes are unreliable and may fail at any time. Since many of research goes into the design of DHT lookup services, these systems aim to provide a stable global addressing structure. But to storage data reliable in a DHT only few techniques were already developed. However since data has to be stored persistent in the network, it should be retrieved anytime, even if nodes fail. In this work we discuss possibilities to store data fault tolerant in a structured Peer-to-Peer system.

Due to their crucial characteristics – namely scalability, flexibility, and resilience – they are quite interesting for being applied in ad-hoc networks. But, there are plenty of open questions concerning the applicability of Distributed Hash Tables in mobile ad-hoc scenarios: Do new problems arise when both technologies are used together? Are there any synergy effects when both technologies are combined? Are the results and assumptions, made for the infrastructural Internet, still true if a mobile ad-hoc network is used instead? In this paper, we discuss these and further questions and offer some solutions for using Distributed Hash Tables in ad-hoc networks. Print GI. LNI

This paper presents the design and implementation of a proxy-based solution to support legacy applications in the context of the i3 overlay [24]. The proxy design relies on an address virtualization technique which allows the proxy to tunnel the legacy traffic over the overlay transparently. Our solution can preserve IP packet headers on an end-to-end basis, even when end-host IP addresses change, or when endhosts live in different address spaces (e.g., behind NATs). In addition, our solution allows the use of human-readable names to refer to hosts or services, and requires no changes to applications or operating systems. To illustrate how the proxy enables legacy applications to take advantage of the overlay (i.e., i3) functionality, we present four examples: enabling access to machines behind NAT boxes, secure Intranet access, routing legacy traffic through Bro, an intrusion detection system, and anonymous web download. We have implemented the proxy on Linux andWindows XP/2000 platforms, and used it over the i3 service on PlanetLab over a three month period with a variety of legacy applications ranging from web browsers to operating system-specific file sharing. http://i3.cs.berkeley.edu
