Distributed Content Based Video Identification in Peer-to-Peer Networks: Requirements and Solutions
Koz, Alper; Lagendijk, R. (Inald) L. (2017-03-01)
In this paper, we first discuss the essential requirements for a fingerprint (perceptual hash)-based distributed video identification system in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks in comparison with traditional central database implementations of fingerprints. This discussion reveals that first, fingerprint sizes of existing video fingerprint methods are not compatible with the cache sizes of current P2P clients; second, fingerprint extraction durations during a query are not at tolerable levels for a user in the n...
Intelligent student assessment and coaching interface to web-based education-oriented intelligent experimentation on robot supported laboratory set-ups
Motuk, Halil Erdem; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Erkmen, İsmet; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003)
This thesis presents a framework for an intelligent interface for the access of robotsupported remote laboratories through the Internet. The framework is composed of the student assessment and coaching system, the experimentation scenario, and the associated graphical user interface. Student assessment and coaching system is the main feature of a successful intelligent interface for use during remote experimentation with a robot-supported laboratory setup. The system has a modular structure employing artifi...
Identity/attribute-based authentication protocols based on pairings
Öztürk, Gülnihal; Doğanaksoy, Ali; Department of Cryptography (2020-10-22)
Authentication is one of the most important goals in cryptography. It provides sharing information with only authorized people and protecting data from being modified. Authentication can be achieved in various ways such as password-based, symmetric-key and public-key. The public-key authentication is the most preferred one among these options. It provides construction of key pairs and verification with based on hard mathematical problems. Public-key authentication is used as a basis for two important ideas:...
Increasing trustworthiness of security critical applications using trusted computing
Uzunay, Yusuf; Baykal, Nazife; Bıçakcı, Kemal; Department of Information Systems (2014)
In this thesis work, we aim to increase the trustworthiness of security critical applications by utilizing trusted computing technologies. We focus on two case applications; authentication proxy systems and e-voting systems. Our first case application is authentication proxy systems which store users’ sensitive credentials and submit them to the servers of the service providers on their behalf. To increase the trustworthiness of authentication proxy systems, we propose Trust-in-the-Middle a trusted platform...
