In many application scenarios, like the surveillance of critical areas or infrastructures, security mechanisms have to be used to build reliable and secure applications. Up to now, most of the used cryptographic algorithms have been implemented in software despite the resource constraints in terms of processing power, memory and energy. In the past few years, the usage of special hardware accelerated security modules has been proposed as a viable alternative to software implementations. However, the energy-efficiency has not yet been evaluated in-depth. In this paper, we analyze the VaultIC420 security module and present an evaluation of its energy-efficiency. We compare the performance and energy-efficiency of the hardware module to common software implementations like TinyECC. For the energy measurements, we use IRIS sensor nodes in the SANDbed testbed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Our evaluation shows, that the VaultIC420 can save up to 76% of energy using different MAC layer protocols. It also shows, that the current draw of the VaultIC420 requires a duty-cycling mechanisms to achieve any savings compared to the software implementation.","PeriodicalId":101502,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PERCOM Workshops)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114959504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In essence we intend to spot activities such as opening a cupboard, pressing a button, or taking an object from a shelve in a large data stream that contains typical every day activity. We focus on body-worn sensors without instrumenting objects, we exploit available infrastructure information, and we perform a one-to-many-users training scheme for minimal training effort. We demonstrate that a state of the art motion sensors based approach performs poorly under such conditions (Equal Error Rate of 18% in our experiments).

For example, the linking of a person's anonymized information with other information about that person can lead to de-anonymization of the person. To investigate the social risks of such linking, we investigated the use of social networks for background checking, which is the process of evaluating the qualifications of job seekers, and evaluated the risk posed by the linking of information the employer already has with information on social networks. After clarifying the risk, we developed a system that links information from different sources: information extracted from a job seeker's résumé and anonymous posts on social networks. The system automatically calculates the similarity between information in the résumé and in the posts, and identifies the job seeker's social network accounts even though the profiles may have been anonymized. As a part of our system, we developed a novel method for quantifying the implications of terms in a résumé by using the posts on social networks. In an evaluation using the résumés of two job seekers and the tweets of 100 users, the system identified the accounts of both job seekers with reasonably good accuracy (true positive rate of 0.941 and true negative rate of 0.999). These findings reveal the real social threat of linking information from different sources. Our research should thus form the basis for further study of the relationship between privacy in social networks and the freedom to express opinions.","PeriodicalId":101502,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PERCOM Workshops)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129772122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, since both WiFi and ZigBee are operated in unlicensed ISM spectrum, the interferences from WiFi hotspots make the coexistence of ZigBee and WiFi a big challenge. WiFi traffic contains quite a lot of white spaces between frame clusters in the time domain which could be taken advantage of to improve the performance of the systems with the coexistence of ZigBee and WiFi. Most existing mechanisms dealing with the coexistence of heterogeneous wireless systems neglects this important fact. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that ensures high performance of ZigBee in spite of the presence of strong interference from WiFi, and at the same time keep the WiFi performance almost unaffected. Our approach is to learn a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based on traces of WiFi white-spaces in the current network. With such a HMM model we can accurately characterize the dynamic distribution of the durations of white spaces in different times. Based on the HMM model of white spaces and the analysis of system performance we develop a novel ZigBee frame control protocol called HMM-driven Smart White-space-aware Frame Control Protocol which can allow ZigBee networks to coexist with WiFi networks with desired link throughput and packet delivery ratio. Some initial experimental results have shown the effectiveness of our protocol.","PeriodicalId":101502,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PERCOM Workshops)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130634159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, some social networking systems have also started to exploit context information. These two paradigms serve different purposes. Pervasive computing systems have been designed mainly to address the needs of individual users, thus neglecting the social nature of humans. On the other hand, social computing focuses on exploiting the social relations between users, on promoting their interactions and on supporting the sharing of digital resources among them. However, the recent development and popularity of social networking systems has happened in isolation from the developments in pervasive computing. This paper elaborates on the role of context in both pervasive and social computing environments and introduces the approach of the SOCIETIES project that integrates full scale pervasive functionality in social networking systems to develop the next generation of social media systems. Finally, it discusses the new research challenges that emerge in pervasive social media regarding community context-awareness and the respective benefits that the end users may experience.","PeriodicalId":101502,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PERCOM Workshops)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124018886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The social currency around knowing what's happening in these programs as they happen combined with notable undulations in the interestingness of these programs leads to a navigation problem for the TV watcher. The pervasive use of Twitter in conjunction with TV watching makes it a potential sensor for real-time TV, and therefore a building block in solving the user problem of interstitially navigating to the most interesting program at any point in time. Given that users have to tune into shows with peak moments as soon as those peak moments happen, interstitial navigation has to be high enough performance to enable TV event detection and user tune in within tens of seconds of the event. The question being addressed in this paper is - Do Twitter's social sensing capabilities have sufficient precision and timeliness to cater to the `extreme' navigation needs of sports fans? And if so - how can we design a TV event detection framework that can be extended to multiple sports, and beyond sports. We focus on navigation for sports programming in the narrative, as an extremely demanding TV application that also has high market attractiveness. However, we anticipate that the ideas and architecture proposed herein apply to any TV programming that lends itself to interstitial viewing, and elicits a high level of real-time user participation in social networks.","PeriodicalId":101502,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PERCOM Workshops)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123627428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
