Princeton Engineering Atom FeedCopyright 2009 The Trustees of Princeton Universitynews:www.princeton.edu/engineering/news/ news:17481 Your 'anonymized' web browsing history may not be anonymous John Sullivan 2017-01-23T00:00:00-05:00 2017-01-23T00:00:00-05:00 Raising further questions about privacy on the internet, researchers from Princeton and Stanford universities have released a study showing that a specific person's online behavior can be identified by linking anonymous web browsing histories with social media profiles.
Raising further questions about privacy on the internet, researchers from Princeton and Stanford universities have released a study showing that a specific person's online behavior can be identified by linking anonymous web browsing histories with social media profiles.

"We show that browsing histories can be linked to social media profiles such as Twitter, Facebook or Reddit accounts," the researchers wrote in a paper scheduled for presentation at the 2017 World Wide Web Conference Perth, Australia, in April.

"It is already known that some companies, such as Google and Facebook, track users online and know their identities," said Arvind Narayanan, an assistant professor of computer science at Princeton and one of the researchers involved in the project. But those companies, which consumers choose to create accounts with, disclose their tracking. The new research shows that anyone with access to browsing histories — a great number of companies and organizations — can identify many users by analyzing public information from social media accounts, Narayanan said.

"Users may assume they are anonymous when they are browsing a news or a health website, but our work adds to the list of ways in which tracking companies may be able to learn their identities," said Narayanan, an affiliated faculty member at Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy.

Narayanan noted that the Federal Communications Commission has recently adopted privacy rules for internet service providers that allow them to store and use consumer information only when it is "not reasonably linkable" to individual users.

"Our results suggest that pseudonymous browsing histories fail this test," the researchers wrote.

In the article, the authors note that online advertising companies build browsing histories of users with tracking programs embedded on webpages. Some advertisers attach identities to these profiles, but most promise that the web browsing information is not linked to anyone's identity. The researchers wanted to know if it were possible to de-anonymize web browsing and identify a user even if the web browsing history did not include identities.

They decided to limit themselves to publicly available information. Social media profiles, particularly those that include links to outside webpages, offered the strongest possibility. The researchers created an algorithm to compare anonymous web browsing histories with links appearing in people's public social media accounts, called "feeds."

"Each person's browsing history is unique and contains tell-tale signs of their identity," said Sharad Goel, an assistant professor at Stanford and an author of the study.

The programs were able to find patterns among the different groups of data and use those patterns to identify users. The researchers note that the method is not perfect, and it requires a social media feed that includes a number of links to outside sites. However, they said that "given a history with 30 links originating from Twitter, we can deduce the corresponding Twitter profile more than 50 percent of the time."

The researchers had even greater success in an experiment they ran involving 374 volunteers who submitted web browsing information. The researchers were able to identify more than 70 percent of those users by comparing their web browsing data to hundreds of millions of public social media feeds. (The number of original participants in the study was higher, but some users were eliminated because of technical problems in processing their information.)

Yves-Alexandre de Montjoye, an assistant professor at Imperial College London, said the research shows how "easy it is to build a full-scale 'de-anonymizationer' that needs nothing more than what's available to anyone who knows how to code."

"All the evidence we have seen piling up over the years showing the strong limits of data anonymization, including this study, really emphasizes the need to rethink our approach to privacy and data protection in the age of big data," said de Montjoye, who was not involved in the project.

Besides Narayanan, the researchers involved in the project included Jessica Su, Ansh Shukla and Sharad Goel of Stanford. Support for the project was provided in part by the National Science Foundation. The researchers thanked Twitter for supporting the project by providing access to the Gnip search API.

Narayanan will be participating in the upcoming fourth Princeton-Fung Global Forum, which is focused on cybersecurity. The event will be held March 20-21 in Berlin.
 news:17351 Coalition seeks to protect internet from weaknesses of connected devices Josephine Wolff 2016-11-22T00:00:00-05:00 2016-11-22T00:00:00-05:00 An organization of academics and industry leaders released a report today that provides guidance on how to build security and privacy protections into the emerging internet of things (IoT). The report emphasizes several recommendations for internet-connected devices, ranging from improved procedures for updating software on those devices to ensuring that those devices can continue to function if internet access is disrupted.
As an increasing number of devices — from cars to light bulbs to kitchen appliances — connect with computer networks, experts are raising concerns about privacy and security. Just this fall, attackers used compromised home devices, including security cameras and DVRs, to bombard an internet infrastructure company with traffic, slowing internet access for much of the U.S. East Coast.

To address these concerns, an organization of academics and industry leaders released a report today that provides guidance on how to build security and privacy protections into the emerging internet of things (IoT). The report emphasizes several recommendations for internet-connected devices, ranging from improved procedures for updating software on those devices to ensuring that those devices can continue to function if internet access is disrupted.

Instead of targeting the device manufacturers, the report's editors hope their suggestions will resonate with policymakers who are contemplating the appropriate role of government in regulating the internet of things.

"The report is aimed at influencing policy bodies — legislative committees, commissions, the Federal Trade Commission, the White House," said Nick Feamster, a computer science professor at Princeton University and the acting director of Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy, who is one of the report's lead editors. "We hope, of course, that the IoT industry reads it too."

The report was issued by the Broadband Internet Technical Advisory Group, a nonprofit organization that encompasses industry and academic members. It is not the first group to take up the issue of internet of things security and privacy. The Federal Trade Commission, for instance, released a report last year focused on consumer security and privacy risks associated with the internet of things.

But the new report offers a unique viewpoint on some of the threats and challenges posed by the internet of things because its focus is on broadband network management, rather than device security. Also, many of the group's member organizations are internet service providers; the report's second co-editor is Comcast Vice President Jason Livingood. Accordingly, the new report considers the risks of the internet of things from the perspective of network management, and the authors discuss how networking technologies can be leveraged to protect users.

"It's definitely an ISP (internet service provider) problem as well as a consumer and a device manufacturer problem," Feamster said. "When we talk about insecure IoT devices, we can talk about securing the devices, but we can also take a complementary view and say, 'Let's assume the devices may be difficult to secure and it may be difficult to follow these recommendations — maybe there's a role for in-home networking technology to basically firewall or segment to protect these devices from each other or from the rest of the internet.'"

The report emphasizes the importance of segmenting home networks so the devices connected to the network cannot easily be used to compromise each other. "Many home networks do not, by default, isolate different parts of the network from each other, the report points out. Making it harder for devices on a home network to talk to each other may help mitigate the impacts of any individual device's security weaknesses.

"A lot of the discussions that have happened so far have been fairly general, so we tried to come up with some more specific things that people can focus on," Livingood said. "I also think it could serve as a little bit of a call to action to the IoT device manufacturers to try to figure out how they can band together and try to develop some kind of certification programs for security."

Even some of the more familiar recommendations in the advisory group's report — for instance, making it easier to update software that runs on devices — may be less straightforward than they initially seem, Feamster said. "Some of these recommendations sound obvious but it's not so obvious that they should go one way or another," he explained. "Take secure over-the-network software updates _ and the ability to update credentials on a device — those sound like basically good ideas. But there's obviously a cost to doing that: what do you do about that when the cost of the device is 99 cents, so the cost of updating it may exceed the cost of deploying it?"

In other words, deciding whether or not it should be possible to distribute software updates and security patches to devices such as security cameras or thermostats may depend on the cost of the device and the cost of software updates. So the report, while it recommends making it possible to update devices in general, also points out that, "in some cases, replacing a device entirely may be an alternative to software updates. Certain IoT devices may be so inexpensive that updating software may be impractical or not cost-effective."

Another scenario the authors consider is what happens to internet-of-things devices in the event of an internet outage. The report makes recommendations for how these devices should respond to interruptions to network connectivity. Specifically, the report recommends that "an IoT device should be able to perform its primary function or functions (e.g., a light switch or a thermostat should continue to function with manual controls), even if it is not connected to the internet because internet connectivity may be disrupted due to causes ranging from accidental misconfiguration or intentional attack."

Membership in the Broadband Internet Technical Advisory Group includes industry leaders such as Google, Cisco, AT&T and Disney, as well as community organizations such as the Center for Democracy & Technology, and Public Knowledge. Researchers from Princeton, Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Oregon and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology contributed to the report.

Feamster will be participating in the upcoming fourth Princeton-Fung Global Forum, which is focused on cybersecurity. The event will be held March 20-21, 2017, in Berlin.
 news:17323 New tool detects malicious websites before they cause harm Josephine Wolff 2016-10-27T00:00:00-04:00 2016-10-27T00:00:00-04:00 In a paper presented at the 2016 ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security on Oct. 27, researchers describe a system called PREDATOR that distinguishes between legitimate and malicious purchasers of new websites. The system yields important insights into how those two groups behave differently online even before the malicious users have done anything obviously bad or harmful. These early signs can help security professionals take preemptive measures.
Malicious websites promoting scams, distributing malware and collecting phished credentials pervade the web. As quickly as we block or blacklist them, criminals set up new domain names to support their activities. Now a research team including Princeton University computer science professor Nick Feamster and recently graduated Ph.D. student Shuang Hao has developed a technique to make it more difficult to register new domains for nefarious purposes.

In a paper presented at the 2016 ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security on Oct. 27, the researchers describe a system called PREDATOR that distinguishes between legitimate and malicious purchasers of new websites. In doing so, the system yields important insights into how those two groups behave differently online even before the malicious users have done anything obviously bad or harmful. These early signs of likely evil-doers help security professionals take preemptive measures, instead of waiting for a security threat to surface.

"The intuition has always been that the way that malicious actors use online resources somehow differs fundamentally from the way legitimate actors use them," Feamster explained. "We were looking for those signals: what is it about a domain name that makes it automatically identifiable as a bad domain name?"

Feamster, the acting director of Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy, will be participating in the upcoming fourth Princeton-Fung Global Forum, which is focused on cybersecurity. The event will be held March 20-21, 2017, in Berlin.

Once a website begins to be used for malicious purposes — when it's linked to in spam email campaigns, for instance, or when it installs malicious code on visitors' machines — then defenders can flag it as bad and start blocking it. But by then, the site has already been used for the very kinds of behavior that we want to prevent. PREDATOR, which stands for Proactive Recognition and Elimination of Domain Abuse at Time-Of-Registration, gets ahead of the curve.

The researchers' techniques rely on the assumption that malicious users will exhibit registration behavior that differs from those of normal users, such as buying and registering lots of domains at once to take advantage of bulk discounts, so that they can quickly and cheaply adapt when their sites are noticed and blacklisted. Additionally, criminals will often register multiple sites using slight variations on names: changing words like "home" and "homes" or switching word orders in phrases.

By identifying such patterns, Feamster and his collaborators were able to start sifting through the more than 80,000 new domains registered every day to preemptively identify which ones were most likely to be used for harm.

Testing their results against known blacklisted websites, they found that PREDATOR detected 70 percent of malicious websites based solely on information known at the time those domains were first registered. The false positive rate of the PREDATOR system, or rate of legitimate sites that were incorrectly identified as malicious by the tool, was only 0.35 percent.

Being able to detect malicious sites at the moment of registration, before they're being used, can have multiple security benefits, Feamster said. Those sites can be blocked sooner, making it difficult to use them to cause as much harm — or, indeed, any harm at all if the operators are not permitted to purchase them. "PREDATOR can achieve early detection, often days or weeks before existing blacklists, which generally cannot detect domain abuse until an attack is already underway," the authors write in their paper. "The key advantage is to respond promptly for defense and limit the window during which miscreants might profitably use a domain."

Additionally, existing blocking tools, which rely on detecting malicious activity from websites and then blocking them, allow criminals to continue purchasing new websites. Cutting off the operators of malicious websites at the moment of registration prevents this perpetual cat-and-mouse dynamic. This more permanent form of protection against online threats is a rarity in the field of computer security, where adversaries often evade new lines of defense easily, the researchers said.

For the PREDATOR system to help everyday internet users, it will have to be used by existing domain blacklist services, like Spamhaus, that maintain lists of blocked websites, or by registrars, like GoDaddy.com, that sell new domain names.

"Part of what we envision is if a registrar is trying to make a decision about whether to register a domain name, then if PREDATOR suggests that domain name might be used for malicious ends, the registrar can at least wait and do more due diligence before it moves forward," Feamster said.

Although the registrars still must manually review domain registration attempts, PREDATOR offers them an effective tool to predict potential abuse. "Prior to work like this, I don't think a registrar would have very easy go-to method for even figuring out if the domains they registered would turn out to be malicious," Feamster said.

In addition to Feamster, the authors include: Shuang Hao, now at the University of California-Santa Barbara; Alex Kantchelian and Vern Paxson, University of California-Berkeley; and Brad Miller, Google. The work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation and Google.
 news:17201 Computer science professor urges Congress to secure voting Staff 2016-09-29T00:00:00-04:00 2016-09-29T00:00:00-04:00 Citing concerns about security and accuracy, Professor of Computer Science Andrew Appel urged Congress during a House subcommittee hearing on Wednesday to eliminate "touchscreen" voting machines after this November's election.
Citing concerns about security and accuracy, Professor of Computer Science Andrew Appel urged Congress during a House subcommittee hearing on Wednesday to eliminate "touchscreen" voting machines after this November's election.

Testifying before the House Subcommittee on Information Technology, Appel told members of Congress that it is critical to have a system in place to audit votes cast to ensure accuracy and confidence in the electoral system. Most U.S. states have some sort of paper backup that can be used to resolve questions about the vote, but Appel said that states and counties using direct-recording electronic voting machines, commonly called touchscreens, do not.

"There's no paper ballot to recount," said Appel, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Computer Science, according to his written testimony. "After the voter touches the screen, we have to rely on the computer—that is, we have to rely on whatever program is installed in the computer that day—to print out the true totals that night when the polls close. "

Appel, whose research focuses on software verification and applied computer security, is a noted expert on voting machines. Besides writing a number of scientific papers on voting security, Appel demonstrated in 2009 in New Jersey Superior Court how to hack a machine.

"Colleagues and students and Princeton University and elsewhere have demonstrated the same principle on several different models," Appel said. "This is not just one glitch in one manufacturer's machine, it's the very nature of computers."

Appel testified that Congress has fixed similar problems in the past. After the infamous recount of the 2000 election, Congress banned the use of punch-card voting ballots.

Right now, Apel said, most states require a paper record in addition to the computer vote. The most common form is a paper ballot which is marked by the voter and then fed into a computerized scanner.

"That very paper ballot marked by the voter drops into a sealed ballot box under the opscan machine," he said. "That is the ballot of record, and it can be recounted by hand in a way that we can trust."

As a temporary measure, Appel recommended that election officials take care not connect voting machines or election administration computers to the internet. But he said these steps won't eliminate the threat of local tampering.

"So what we must do as soon as possible after November is to adopt nationwide what 40 states have already done: paper ballots, marked by the voter, countable by computer if you like but recountable by hand," he said.

Appel's written testimony concludes with "Ten Things Election Officials Can Do to Help Secure and Inspire Confidence in This Fall's Elections." Full testimony available at: https://oversight.house.gov/hearing/cybersecurity-ensuring-integrity-ballot-box/
 news:17189 Flood warning system to help emergency decisions in South America John Sullivan 2016-09-28T00:00:00-04:00 2016-09-28T00:00:00-04:00 In the summer of 2015, a freak cold front swept across the Andes and poured rain that triggered flash floods across parts of Peru and northern Chile. The floodwaters overflowed streambeds and sent mudslides roaring through rural communities. In the aftermath, the Chilean government estimated that more than 27,000 people were displaced.

In the summer of 2015, a freak cold front swept across the Andes and poured rain that triggered flash floods across parts of Peru and northern Chile. The floodwaters overflowed streambeds and sent mudslides roaring through rural communities. In the aftermath, the Chilean government estimated that more than 27,000 people were displaced.

The following spring, a team of Princeton researchers traveled to Chile to meet with scientists there and begin constructing a new flood warning system for the country. Led by Eric Wood, the Susan Dod Brown Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Research Scholar Justin Sheffield, the team hopes to help Chile plan for and respond to similar disasters in the future.

"The goal is to take our existing continental-scale model for Latin America and to increase spatial resolution to focus on Chile and provide the foundation for an operational system," said Wood, whose team previously developed hydrological monitoring systems for Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the continental United States. "It will cover the entire country at a high spatial resolution, and our hope is that regular people can get direct access to the information."

Sheffield said the team plans to assemble an online system, including maps, that will predict flooding seven to 14 days in advance. "It will be an operational forecasting system," he said.

The project is an outgrowth of work that Wood and Sheffield have done in recent years predicting drought in Africa. The researchers have developed sophisticated models that combine historic climate-station data, satellite information, and field reports to forecast droughts and estimate their severity.

"One of the challenges, and one of the most exciting things, is bringing together these very diverse sources of data," Sheffield said.

In Chile's case, the government has a sophisticated weather forecasting system as well as river and rain gauges that the Princeton team will work to integrate with satellite data. The team also will help develop a system to interpret data and pass them along to users. Wood and Sheffield said that it is critical for the system to present information reliably and understandably. For the system to be of value, citizens and community leaders must have access to information they need to cope with floods or droughts.

"We are doing the science, but we also have to bring the information to the people on the ground who are making the decisions," Sheffield said.
 news:17052 Experience, gender and politics determine hurricane perception Chris Emery 2016-08-24T00:00:00-04:00 2016-08-24T00:00:00-04:00 Despite ample evidence that Atlantic hurricanes are getting stronger, Princeton University-led research found that people's view of future storm threat is based on their hurricane experience, gender and political affiliation. This could affect how policymakers and scientists communicate the increasing deadliness of hurricanes as a result of climate change.
Objective measurements of storm intensity show that North Atlantic hurricanes have grown more destructive in recent decades. But coastal residents' views on the matter depend less on scientific fact and more on their gender, belief in climate change and recent experience with hurricanes, according to a new study by researchers at Princeton University, Auburn University-Montgomery, the Louisiana State University and Texas A&M University.

The researchers plumbed data from a survey of Gulf Coast residents and found that the severity of the most recent storm a person weathered tended to play the largest role in determining whether they believed storms were getting worse over time, according to the study published in the International Journal of Climatology. The survey was taken in 2012 before Hurricane Sandy, the second-most expensive hurricane in history, caused $75 billion in damage.

Respondents' opinions also strongly differed depending on whether they were male or female, whether they believed in climate change and whether they were a Democrat or a Republican. For instance, people who believe in climate change were far more likely to perceive the increasing violence of storms than those who did not. The researchers noted that because climate change has become a politically polarizing issue, party affiliation also was an indicator of belief in strengthening storms.

"Understanding how people in coastal regions perceive the threat is important because it influences whether they will take the necessary actions to address that threat," said Ning Lin, the senior researcher on the study and a Princeton assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering.

"What you see is that there is often a gap between the reality of the storm trends and how people interpret those trends," said Siyuan Xian, a doctoral candidate in Lin's lab and co-lead author of the new paper.

While scientists continue to debate the impact of climate change on the frequency and strength of hurricanes, numerous studies of objective measures — such as wind speed, storm-surge height and economic damage — show that hurricanes are stronger than they were even a few decades ago.

For instance, eight of the ten most economically damaging hurricanes since 1980 have occurred since 2004, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In constant dollars, Hurricanes Katrina (2005) and Sandy caused nearly $154 billion and $68 billion in damage, respectively, according to NOAA.

In comparison, the costliest storms of the 1990s, Hurricanes Andrew (1992) and Floyd (1999), caused $46 billion and $9 billion in damage, respectively. (The figures are adjusted for inflation.) Hurricane Patricia in 2015 was the strongest Western Hemisphere storm in recorded history with maximum sustained winds of 215 miles per hour.

As the intensity of storms has increased, government agencies and coastal residents must grapple with preparing for the next landfall. Residents must decide, for example, whether to invest in storm shutters, roof and wall fortifications, flood-proof flooring and other structural buffers. On a larger scale, coastal planners need voter support to implement land-use policies that take the threat into account and to invest taxpayer dollars into protection measures such as seawalls or sand dunes.

Understanding how people perceive the threat of hurricanes is crucial for predicting whether they will take them seriously, Xian said. Six hurricanes form each year in the North Atlantic on average, although as many as fifteen have developed in a single hurricane season.

"If you perceive a higher risk, you will be more likely to support policies and take action to ameliorate the impacts," Xian said. "We wanted to know how people perceive the threat of hurricanes and what influences their perceptions. This information will help guide how agencies communicate the risk, and what policies and actions are proposed to make communities resilient to these storms."

Lin and Xian worked with co-authors Wanyun Shao, assistant professor of geography at Auburn University-Montgomery; Barry Keim, professor of climatology at Louisiana State University; and Kirby Goidel, a Texas A&M professor of communication.

To explore what influences perceptions of hurricane threat, the researchers analyzed data from the 2012 Gulf Coast Climate Change Survey to analyze Gulf Coast residents' beliefs about hurricane trends from 1992 to 2011. Louisiana State University and NOAA conducted the survey.

The survey focused on residents of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, who lived in areas of the Gulf Coast that experienced at least one hurricane landfall over the 20-year period from 1992 to 2011.

In addition to probing beliefs about hurricane trends, the survey gathered information on respondents' gender, political affiliations, opinions on climate change and other characteristics that might influence their perspective on hurricane trends.

The researchers' results mirrored a trend seen in other studies of extreme climate events, Lin said.

"The increasing power of Atlantic hurricanes is often connected to climate change, but studies have shown that Republicans and males tend to be more skeptical of climate change," Lin said. "We found a strong link between disbelief in climate change and disbelief that storms are getting worse — they tend to come as a package."

The researchers were able to tease out what elements of the storms a respondent had experienced left the biggest impression on them. For instance, while storm surges tend to cause the most property damage, gale winds were more likely to convince people that hurricanes are getting stronger.

Sander van der Linden, a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer in Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, and director of the Social and Environmental Decision-Making (SED) Lab, said behavioral scientists have long hypothesized the most recent landfall of a storm has a stronger influence on people's perceptions of long-term climate trends.

"This study provides strong empirical evidence of this phenomenon," said van der Linden, who studies public policy from a behavioral-science perspective. "This finding is important because it suggests that people may not be thinking about long-term changes in climate patterns but rather are paying attention to more salient variations in and impacts of short-term local weather."

The study's authors said this information could help governments communicate hurricane risk more effectively to the public. Taking into account that people are more likely to respond to the threat of high winds, for instance, could help agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency motivate the public to adequately prepare for storms. The researchers also recommended that public agencies work to further educate the public about the risk posed by storm surge.

"Public opinion can make or break policies intended to address climate change and ameliorate damage from storms," Lin said. "Tapping into the state of current perceptions and what drives them will be critical for governments around the world as the impacts of climate change are increasingly felt."

The researchers are currently conducting other studies related to climate-change perception, including research on flood adaption and insurance-purchasing behavior in the counties along the Gulf Coast, as well as looking at worldwide perceptions of climate change and the willingness to adopt green-energy technologies.

The paper, "Understanding perceptions of changing hurricane strength along the US Gulf coast," was published online June 20 by the International Journal of Climatology. Support for the research was provided in part by NOAA's Gulf of Mexico Coastal Storm Program, Texas Sea Grant, Louisiana Sea Grant, Florida Sea Grant and Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium.
 news:16902 New steps revealed in cat-and-mouse game of internet censorship John Sullivan 2016-06-29T00:00:00-04:00 2016-06-29T00:00:00-04:00 Researchers have found that the "Great Firewall" technology that controls internet traffic entering and leaving China is not merely an apparatus that statically blocks traffic. It also actively sends probes to other machines that are connected to the internet, preemptively searching for internet infrastructure and services that seek to circumvent its defenses.
Researchers have found that the "Great Firewall" technology that controls internet traffic entering and leaving China is not merely an apparatus that statically blocks traffic. It also actively sends probes to other machines that are connected to the internet, preemptively searching for internet infrastructure and services that seek to circumvent its defenses.

"The Great Firewall is actively trying to find these sites so it can block them," said Nick Feamster, a professor of computer science at Princeton and the acting director of the University's Center for Information and Technology Policy. "Active reconnaissance is the next step in the arms race."

In contrast to the decentralized management that characterizes much of the internet, China's internet is tightly controlled: traffic entering and leaving the country passes through infrastructure in just a few physical locations.

"It allows the Chinese government to see most traffic between China and the rest of the world," said Roya Ensafi, a postdoctoral researcher in computer science at Princeton who worked on the project.

In a paper presented at the Association for Computing Machinery's SIGCOMM Internet Measurement Conference in Tokyo on Oct. 30, the researchers demonstrated how the Great Firewall identifies and blocks traffic. As a first step, Ensafi said, the system searches for keywords and terms in a message: something like "Falun Gong" might cause the Great Firewall to block subsequent communication, for example.

<img alt="" class="figure" src="http://news.princeton.edu/uploads/243/image/greatfirewall7790_1150.jpg" style="width: 502px; height: 356px;" title="From left, Princeton researchers Roya Ensafi, a postdoctoral researcher in computer science, and Nick Feamster, a professor of computer science, are investigating methods that the Chinese government uses to control computer communications entering China from the rest of the world. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski for the Office of Engineering Communications)" />

To circumvent these controls, citizens often use software that obfuscates the communications, such as the Tor network. This system sends traffic through a sequence of network nodes called relays in between the sender and receiver. At each relay, traffic is re-encrypted, ensuring that no node in the network can link the sender to the receiver. The encryption itself also provides a level of confidentiality.

The Great Firewall can typically determine that certain traffic is being sent with Tor, even if it cannot determine the content of the communications. "Tor traffic is encrypted as it crosses the Great Firewall," Ensafi said. "The government can't read the traffic, but they can fingerprint it."

Network operators in China do not want to block all internet connections, but they do want to prevent users from accessing any service that helps them circumvent the Great Firewall, the researchers said. When the firewall determines that traffic might involve Tor usage, they typically need to take extra steps to confirm that the traffic pertains to Tor before blocking the communication.

"Incorrectly blocking traffic that appears to be Tor traffic but is not can cause collateral damage, and they [network operators] cannot afford to block everything," Ensafi said. "To increase the confidence in what they are blocking, they began actively probing machines that appear to be running Tor infrastructure."

Ensafi said that the Great Firewall infrastructure checks machines that it deems might be entry nodes in the Tor network. Because Tor has a distinct "handshake" when clients attempt to connect to an entry node, the Great Firewall can discover entry nodes to the Tor network simply by probing suspected entry nodes and determining that they conform to the expected handshake.

"If they guess it is Tor, they try to make a connection to establish whether it is using the Tor protocol," Ensafi said. "If it is, they block traffic coming from that connection."

Keith Winstein, an assistant professor of computer science at Stanford University who was not involved in the research, said the paper carefully measured the probing techniques used by the Great Firewall.

"It really shows a level of sophistication of the Chinese system that I don't think was publicly appreciated before," said Winstein, who also has an appointment at the Stanford Law School. "It is hard to think of a more important topic for security research than the cat-and-mouse game between the authors of communications tools and governments who want to monitor and police communications on the internet."

The researchers said it is not possible for systems like Tor to completely prevent the Great Firewall from probing the Tor network because the firewall continually changes the locations from which it sends its active probes.

One way to avoid blocking is to deploy circumvention systems like Tor across a set of machines distributed across the Internet, known as a Content Delivery Network (CDN). These delivery networks tend to host content for a large number of internet websites and services. Therefore, firewall administrators would not be able to simply block access to the network locations hosting the Tor entry nodes without also blocking access to other content, thus inflicting significant "collateral damage."

The researchers said Tor has begun to take this approach and is also trying to make its communications more difficult to detect in general.

"In response to the Great Firewall's active probing, Tor developers are developing new techniques to obfuscate the handshakes between the client and Tor entry nodes," Ensafi said. "These obfuscation techniques work by encapsulating the initial handshake inside other 'innocuous' protocols to make it more difficult to identify the initial handshake."

The ongoing efforts to obfuscate Tor traffic has led to a cat-and-mouse game, as Tor tries to disguise its traffic, and Chinese network operators continue to develop techniques to detect it.

"It is an ongoing battle," Ensafi said.

In addition to Feamster and Ensafi, the paper's authors include Philipp Winter, a postdoctoral researcher in computer science at Princeton and a fellow at Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy (CITP); and David Fiefield, Vern Paxson and Nicholas Weaver of the University of California-Berkeley.

 news:16368 Transportation hackathon bridges technology and civic engagement Catherine Shen 2016-03-07T00:00:00-05:00 2016-03-07T00:00:00-05:00 A smartphone application that alerts drivers to local road hazards could help avoid accidents and be a step towards improving transportation policy, Princeton University professor Garnet Chan told an audience during the hackathon sponsored by the Center for Information Technology Policy (CITP) and Code for Princeton on February 27 and 28.

A smartphone application that alerts drivers to local road hazards could help avoid accidents and be a step towards improving transportation policy, Princeton University professor Garnet Chan told an audience during the hackathon sponsored by the Center for Information Technology Policy (CITP) and Code for Princeton on February 27 and 28.

In an intensive 48 hours of coding, Chan and two partners created just such an app. The team's project, "Save Your Car," was one of four that won recognition at the hackathon, an event that attracted about 90 computer coders, policy enthusiasts, and interested citizens – from Princeton students and faculty to local middle school students. Teams spent the weekend in Sherrerd Hall brainstorming and creating digital technologies to solve transportation problems. Participants also could join transportation policy discussions and introductory coding tutorials.

Save Your Car provides optimal driving directions between two points while avoiding problems such as unfixed potholes and fallen branches. It goes beyond existing tools such as Google Maps, Chan said, by incorporating local user inputs collected in municipal databases such as Access Princeton. The app could be used by local governments to report issues such as road closures in case of emergencies like hurricanes or snowstorms, Chan said.

True to the ethic of hackathons, which bring together new collaborators, Chan, the University's A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Chemistry, teamed up with local programmer and hackathon veteran Edderic Ugaddan and eighth grade student Ben Mathews to create Save Your Car.

"We're looking to develop this app so it can work globally, so if someone was in India or China and was not familiar with the road conditions, then they could use this," Ugaddan said. "It's something that is useful and almost anybody can use."

Chan said his work with the University involves a lot of scientific software development, and he sees group coding events as an important way to energize software development. His own research team, the Chan Group in theoretical chemistry, have hosted their own small hackathons.

For CITP's hackathon, the chemistry professor wanted to see what technical and management skills he could bring as a participant. "In addition to that, transportation software is broadly relevant to many lives, including my own, so it was not difficult to be interested," he said.

Save Your Car took home the prize for "Best Advancement of an Existing Technology." The panel of judges included Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, CITP Acting Director and Professor of Computer Science Nick Feamster, transportation expert Nat Bottigheimer, and Sustainable Princeton's Energy Director Christine Symington.

The event was the inaugural hackathon sponsored by CITP and Code for Princeton, a community tech group interested in open government and "civic hacking."

CITP developed the idea of a policy hackathon as a way to harness the power of technology to work on urgent social issues, said Feamster. The event encouraged interdisciplinary teams to keep projects focused on responding to policy needs in a practical manner.

"We chose transportation because it's relevant to almost everyone," said Feamster, noting that transportation policy is not a traditional theme for hackathons. "We wanted to find different ways to discover new strategies where technology plays a role."

Issues addressed at the hackathon reflect an "intersection of digital technology and public life," which is the focus of the center, Feamster said. CITP also saw the hackathon as a way to reach out to the local community and strengthen ties between the University and the municipality.

For Claire Ralph, director of Code for Princeton, building connections between programmers, technologists and the government is vital to keeping communications open and building trust in government.

"We want to encourage open data," she said. "There's a disconnect between the public and the government, so it's important to get people talking and see what are the possibilities by bridging that gap."

Seeing a diverse group of people coming together to find solutions to a problem has been very exciting, said Ralph. "There's a lot of learning going on and I think it's also important for people to see that they have a role in creating something that can change policies."

Team "Ghost Bus," who came up with a tool for local transit agencies to translate their route schedules into a standardized data feed readable by applications like Google Maps, won the prize for "Most Likely to See Immediate Use," while Team "Uncrash" won "Most Likely to Affect Policy" through their web-based application that allowed citizens to download and visualize New Jersey vehicle-crash data.

"Hacking energy" was high throughout the hackathon but perhaps nothing compared to the exuberance that emanated from four Montgomery Upper Middle School students, whose project on school transport won the prize for "Most Creative Solution."

Eighth grade students Iccha Singh, Venkat Cherukupalli, Sanjana Jagadish Bharath and seventh grader Arnav Dashaputra impressed the audience with their mobile app that allows students to send quick messages to a bus driver if a school bus missed a pick up.

"We wanted to focus on an issue that's common," said Singh, who has attended numerous hackathons. "We also wanted to empower other middle school students who wanted to be involved but were intimidated by competing against adults."

At first, it was a scary experience for the middle schoolers. But Cherukupalli said they eventually found that everyone was very friendly and helpful.

"It's exciting to know what we built could actually be implemented," he said. "I learned so much and really enjoyed being around all the tech people. It was a fun experience."

 news:16021 Computer scientists launch campaign to guarantee bug-free software Doug Hulette 2016-01-07T00:00:00-05:00 2016-01-07T00:00:00-05:00 A team led by Princeton computer scientist Andrew Appel won a $10 million grant to exterminate software "bugs," the maddening but unintended programming errors that can open our lives to hackers and thieves and disrupt critical tasks such as tracking and tabulating election returns.
The next time a software maker tells you to update your favorite computer application immediately to fix serious defects or patch gaping security holes, don't lose faith. Help is on the way.

A team led by Princeton computer scientist Andrew Appel aims to exterminate software "bugs," the maddening but unintended programming errors that can open our lives to hackers and thieves, mess up our cellphones, our cars and the growing list of electronic devices that we rely on in our daily lives, and cause inaccuracies in computers performing critical tasks such as tracking and tabulating election returns.

Funded by a $10 million, five-year grant from the National Science Foundation, Appel and fellow researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, Yale University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology plan to develop integrated tools to eliminate uncertainty from the complex task of software development. A goal beyond the core research is to reshape the industry itself by erasing the gap between researchers, who have made significant strides in the fight against bugs, and educators who are teaching the next generation of programmers and engineers.

"In our interconnected world, software bugs and security vulnerabilities pose enormous costs and risks," said Appel, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Computer Science. "When you press the accelerator pedal or the brake in a modern car, for instance, you're really just suggesting to some computer program that you want to speed up or slow down. The computer had better get it right."

The researchers' initial challenge will be to dissect the overwhelming complexity of modern hardware and software to uncover the factors that determine how various computer components work together. The next step is to develop "deep specifications" — gritty, precise descriptions of the behavior of software based on formal logic (deductive reasoning, the use of syllogisms and mathematics) — that will enable engineers not only to build bug-free programs but to verify that their programs behave exactly as they should. Hence, the project's official name, Expeditions in Computing: The Science of Deep Specification (DeepSpec, for short).

Fifty years of computing and information science have transformed the everyday lives of people world-wide, said Jim Kurose, the National Science Foundation's assistant director for Computer and Information Science and Engineering. "The Expeditions in Computing program taps into the great reservoir of fundamental research advances and inspires the research and education community to be as creative as possible in the design of bold research that explores new scientific frontiers."

In a way, the project marks a coming of age for an industry in which many practitioners still consider development, especially software writing, as much an art as a science. Software writers often work on isolated tasks, and many don't bother to annotate their coding in ways that would allow others to learn from their thinking. The weak institutional knowledge base has slowed progress toward a solution to the riddle of unintended consequences, especially in complex situations that involve multiple programs working at the same time.

"Even if the engineer who builds one component writes in English 'this is what it does and here is how to use it,' the engineer of another component might interpret the English-language description the wrong way, and their two components won't work properly together," Appel said.

Appel's participation in a French-led project called CompCert helped frame his quest to stamp out bugs. CompCert, based at Inria, the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation near Paris, created a verified software compiler — that is, a program that has been proven to accurately translate programming language into machine instructions that can be executed on a computer chip.

"The logical next step," Appel said, "is to connect verified components — compilers, operating systems, program analysis tools, processor architectures — so no bugs can creep in because of misunderstandings at component boundaries."

DeepSpec will facilitate this integration by improving the way specifications are written, using formal logic, Appel added. "But to test whether this approach is really an improvement, we need a big consortium with multiple components to connect together. That's the DeepSpec 'expedition.'"

Research Scholar Lennart Beringer, who serves as Appel's associate director for DeepSpec, also stressed the importance of having a consortium of four universities participating in the project.

"CompCert demonstrated that it's indeed possible to develop deep specifications for industry-strength software," said Beringer, who came to Princeton in 2009 and has also collaborated with the CompCert project. "Since then, individual projects at UPenn, Yale, MIT, Princeton and elsewhere have applied this approach to other pieces of software, but their efforts were isolated, so each project developed its own version. The point of DeepSpec is to bring everybody together in a multi-institutional effort."

In addition to Appel, principal investigators are Benjamin Pierce, Stephanie Weirich and Steve Zdancewic, all professors in UPenn's Department of Computer and Information Science; Adam Chlipala, an associate professor of computer science at MIT; and Zhong Shao, a professor of computer science at Yale who received his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1994.

Each participant brings unique expertise to the project.

"My own work is in tools for reasoning about programs," Appel said. "Steve Zdancewic works on verified compilers, for translating programs to machine language. Adam Chlipala will work on the next lower level, in verified computer chips. Above all those layers, Zhong Shao is building a verified operating system, and Stephanie Weirich is working at the level of programming languages in which people could write application programs. Benjamin Pierce is working on program testing tools that are informed by specifications."

The DeepSpec project is committed to revamping the business of software by promulgating its findings throughout the computer industry. The key will be changing what's taught in colleges and universities.

"I'm very excited about our plans for education," Appel said. At Yale, Shao is developing an innovative operating systems course informed by deep specifications. Zdancewic at UPenn is developing an innovative compilers course informed by deep specs.

"Students in these courses will learn more, with less effort, because the DeepSpec approach allows us to clarify how the pieces fit together," Appel said. "I'm looking forward to test-driving this new curriculum at Princeton, to evaluate how much of a difference it makes. At the same time it will freshen our computer science curriculum in those subjects at Princeton."

Beringer added that the DeepSpec team is inviting researchers and practitioners from elsewhere to become involved. "All our specifications will be open source, and we'll run events to educate people on how to develop, evaluate and maintain them."

DeepSpec plans to train the next generation of researchers by hosting a two- or three-day scientific workshop in each of the five years of the NSF grant and a summer school for researchers during the second year.

 news:15816 Engineers create consortium on 'fog' network with industry leaders John Sullivan 2015-11-19T00:00:00-05:00 2015-11-19T00:00:00-05:00 Researchers at Princeton University's Edge Lab are leading a global effort -- with scientists and business leaders at ARM, Cisco, Dell, Intel and Microsoft -- to develop an important new mobile technology: fog networks.
As everyday items, from cars to watches, increasingly use computers and communications to operate, the demand on networks that connect devices on or near users is expected to balloon. In response, engineers are working to harness the devices' own computing, sensing and storage power to form networks that meet most of the demand.

These networks have been dubbed "fog computing," a name that emphasizes their local, diffuse nature as opposed to more distant "cloud computing." Now, researchers at Princeton University's Edge Lab are leading a global effort, with scientists and business leaders at ARM, Cisco, Dell, Intel, and Microsoft, to develop the architecture and tools for using these new fog networks.

The new non-profit group announced on November 19, 2015, the Open Fog Consortium, will be building a basic architecture for fog networking in coming years, and has opened its membership to companies and universities worldwide. The consortium expects to deliver reports and white papers detailing best practices for the new technologies as they are developed, said Mung Chiang, the Princeton Edge Lab director and co-founder of the Open Fog Consortium.

The goal, the consortium announced, is to "define a common framework for distributed computing based on open standard technologies."

Chiang said he helped to launch the consortium to address common problems with "edge networks" – the connections at the periphery of a more centralized network, close to the actual devices that use the network. Currently mobile edge networks suffer from connection losses, bottlenecks in bandwidth and excessive time communicating with different points in the network, a problem known as latency.

"The Open Fog Consortium will promote an ecosystem to accelerate the adoption of open fog computing by bringing together companies, universities and individuals," said Chiang, the Arthur LeGrand Doty Professor of Electrical Engineering. Chiang teaches an online course on fog networks and has led conferences and published extensively in this emerging field.

Ideally, fog computing could avoid many current network problems by distributing computation, control and data storage to the edges of networks and emphasizing local, distributed clusters rather than a centralized system. It will also allow networks to respond more fluidly to changes in user demand.

"As we further develop the 'Internet of Things' – networked devices in smart cities or connected cars – we have a unique opportunity to bring the 'cloud' closer to the edge and users as 'fog'," Chiang said.

Dean of Engineering H. Vincent Poor said the consortium is an example of how academia and industry can work together effectively. "I am proud of Mung and the Edge Lab for their leadership in this field and in this important new consortium," said Poor, whose own research specialty is in wireless networks. "It demonstrates that university research can pioneer disruptive technologies with societal benefit."

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit yesterday ruled that the Secretary of Transportation did not violate the Deepwater Port Act when it issued a license for Shell's Gulf Landing LNG terminal proposed for offshore Louisiana. A coalition of environmental groups had argued that the Secretary's decision violated "the best available technology requirement" of the Deepwater Port Act by not requiring Shell to equip its terminal with closed-loop technology. Critics of the project argue that open-loop vaporizers pose a threat to marine ecosystems. MarineLink.com has the story.

Waukesha — A new trial for a Waukesha man accused of driving drunk and striking a Carroll University pedestrian ended with the same result: guilty on all counts.
A second trial was ordered for Stuart J. Gasper, 48, because jurors in the first trial reviewed court paperwork that they were not entitled to see. The paperwork - a charging document that contained information about prior convictions - was mistakenly given to jurors along with jury instructions.
On Thursday, the new jury found Gasper guilty of his eighth drunken-driving offense, hit-and-run, and six related charges. The jury deliberated about 90 minutes after two days of trial testimony.
According to a criminal complaint, Waukesha police received several calls about a red sport utility vehicle being driven recklessly just before 9 p.m. Dec. 9. Then they received a 911 call about a pedestrian struck by such a vehicle near Carroll University.
A male student was crossing at College and Grand avenues when a Chevrolet Blazer went into a spin and struck him and a light pole before speeding away, according to the complaint and Waukesha police.
The student's injuries were not life-threatening.
Earlier, the SUV had struck two cars in downtown Waukesha, according to the complaint.
A driver of one of the cars gave police the number of a temporary license plate on the SUV, and investigators determined the vehicle was registered to Gasper.
Gasper was charged with operating under the influence three times in 1995, once in 1998 and three times in 2002, according to the complaint.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 5. He faces more than 10 years in prison.

Our understanding of the biology and genetics of oncogenesis of the upper aerodigestive tract continues to advance steadily with approaches similar to those described in carcinoma of the colon and breast.
Boyle et al1 have noted that the incidence of p53 mutations increases from noninvasive to invasive neoplasms of the mucosa of the head and neck. The findings suggest that p53 mutations are early events in the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck. However, the peak incidence of p53 mutations occurs after tumor initiation, which renders their detection less useful as a screening strategy than it might be for other malignancies such as bladder or colon cancer. The authors also analyzed the anatomic locations of the p53 mutations and found them to be similar to those found in other tobacco-induced cancers such as carcinoma of the lung. Metachronous tumors in the same anatomic region

Written by Katie on September 26, 2013. Permalink
If you'd rather not infuse your bookshelf with an array of rainbow color, you're in luck, as there's now a subtle set of grey Indice Bookends that does the job quietly without shouting (red!orange!yellow!green!blue!). Not that there's anything wrong with color, mind you, just that sometimes it's nice to do without.

Computer - this is the main tool in the hands of modern man. That is why his failure is almost panic at his owner.
So, what to do if your computer will not turn on?
Verifying individual computer elements
In order to understand what happened to yourthe computer will have to answer yourself a few questions, carefully inspecting your unit. Firstly, whether the lamp lights on the system unit by pressing the power button? If not, it means that the power supply to it is not fed. The reason for that can be burned as a block of computer power, and poor contact of the power cord that connects to the unit on the rear panel of the system unit. Remove and reinsert the power cable, making sure it is inserted tightly enough. If the computer still does not turn on, you should think about replacing the power supply.
If the power indicator lights up and the monitornothing shows, then pay attention to the monitor indicator that signals the availability of food on it. If the lamp is not lit, you must perform the same operations as in the case of a power failure on the chassis, but in this case you will have to buy a new monitor. If the power light is on and there is no signal, check whether the well-inserted a VGA cable in the monitor and the system unit. If the cable is inserted into a well, the reasons may be several. The simplest case - is damage of the VGA-cable. The worst case - is damage to the motherboard, in particular, damage to the VGA connector, but this rarely happens.
If the computer still starts loading, butat some point stops, you need to understand what kind of stage. This occurs most often at the stage of downloading information from the hard drive. There may be a few problems, chief among them - the problem of the hard drive and non-functional software that is loaded from the hard disk.
Check your computer's operating system health
If you see on the monitor, booting offthe hard disk has begun, but at some point stops, it means that the problem lies in the operating system of your computer. As a rule, the system offers any solutions out of the situation, such as System Restore to roll back or loading it in any special mode. If no such proposals are available, and all you see - is a black screen with strange inscriptions, then you need to reinstall your operating system. This procedure could face loss of information, if you have no experience in pursuing it, so it is best to consult a specialist, who will help to keep your precious files.

Transport Commission to Place More E-Buses on Shenzhen Roads
The transportation commission of Shenzhen will be placing around 60 electric buses on the road marking the World Car Free day and the start of a ambitious plan to place 3,600 electric buses and 2,000 electric taxis on the road before the year ends. By the end of 2015, the amount of new energy buses will be at 6,650 or 44 percent of the total public buses running on the city roads
Last Tuesday, which is Car Free Day the commission is promoting commuting with the public transport through activities at 38 places including the Futian Transport Hub, department stores, CBD Store, Shenzhen Book City, factories and Metro stations wherein the commission is seeking suggestions from the public on the city's public transport. The commission will give out vouchers for free bus and metro rides. 60 electric buses is just beginning and the commission will be constructing nine comprehensive service center during the 13th Five Year Program from 2016 to 2020 for maintenance, parking and charging of around 4,000 buses.
The city will also speed up the construction of these charging stations and stands for new energy vehicles and at the same time promote the use of these new energy vehicles in different sectors of the transport system using incentives. There will be 3,050 new energy buses and 850 electric taxis running in Shenzhen and these vehicles are helping avoid 120,000 tons of carbon emissions every year.
Shenzhen is a low carbon city and is one of the city under the pilot program of the Central Government in promoting energy saving and new energy vehicles. Shenzhen also created a bicycle rental network that has more than 22,000 bicycles in 717 rental stations across the city.

Vacuum cleaners are useful household appliances, but after many uses or especially messy projects a vacuum may offer a decreased performance or release a musty odour, making vacuuming a less-than-pleasant task. There are several steps that can freshen help to clean and freshen a vacuum.

- Scissors or knife
- Gentle soap

Show MoreHide
- 1
Detach any hoses and attachments from the machine and wash with a gentle disinfectant and deodoriser. The bathtub may be an ideal place for this.
- 2
Remove debris trapped on the vacuum roller. If long hair or threads are wound around the roller and trapped in the bristles, they may need to be cut off with a pair of scissors or knife.
- 3
Remove the vacuum cleaner bag, canister or filter.
- 4
Wipe the inside of the cleaner with a damp rag to remove any dust and dirt. If the inside of the cleaner has a musty odour, leave it open to air out for a few days or use a deodorising soap to wash it out. If the vacuum is canister style, wash out the canister.
- 5
Dispose of the bag or wash the filter. Follow instructions on the vacuum cleaner or in the manual to properly wash the filter. Instructions often include soaking the filter in warm water, sometimes calling for a gentle soap and letting the filter air dry.
- 6
Add a fresh scent. There are products commercially available as vacuum cleaner scent bags, pouches or perfumes. There are also several easy and affordable home remedies that can mask a musty smell or make vacuuming a refreshing way to perfume a house. Place a handful of pine needles, balsam tips, a few drops of perfume, a dryer sheet, cinnamon, cloves or scented soaps or bath beads in the bag or canister.
- 7
Reassemble the vacuum cleaner when all of the attachments, hoses and interior is dry. Replace the canister, filter or bag.
