Improving the Sphinx Mix Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
Secure mix networks consider the presence of multiple nodes that relay encrypted messages from one node to another in such a way that anonymous communication can be achieved. We consider the Sphinx mix formatting protocol by Danezis and Goldberg (IEEE Security and Privacy 2009), and analyze its use of symmetric-key cryptographic primitives. We scrutinize the reliance on multiple distinct primitives, as well as the use of the ancient LIONESS cipher, and suggest various paths towards improving the security and efficiency of the protocol.

A hybrid network model for cellular wireless packet data networks
In this paper, we propose a hybrid network model called Sphinx for cellular wireless packet data networks. Sphinx uses a peer-to-peer network model in tandem with the cellular network model to achieve higher throughput and lower power consumption. At the same time, Sphinx avoids the typical pitfalls of the pure peer-to-peer network model including unfair resource allocation, and throughput degr...
متن کاملA Sphinx Based Speech-music Segmentation Front-end for Improving the Performance of an Automatic Speech Recognition System in Turkish
In this study a system that segments an audio signal as speech and music by using posterior probability based features is proposed and implemented in Sphinx. Unlike the earlier efforts that uses Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLP), this system uses Hidden-MarkovModel based acoustic models that are trained in Sphinx for posterior probability calculations. Acoustic Models are trained with the HMM-state...
متن کاملSPHINX: Detecting Security Attacks in Software-Defined Networks
Software-defined networks (SDNs) allow greater control over network entities by centralizing the control plane, but place great burden on the administrator to manually ensure security and correct functioning of the entire network. We list several attacks on SDN controllers that violate network topology and data plane forwarding, and can be mounted by compromised network entities, such as end ho...
متن کاملSphinx Parallelization
Speech recognition applications challenge traditional out-of-order processors because of low cache locality and poor branch behavior. We observe that these symptoms may be mitigated my exploiting the existing parallelism in these algorithms. In this project, we exploit many levels of parallelism in Sphinx, a leading speech recognition system, to improve architectural utilization by decreasing c...
متن کاملAcoustical Pre-processing for Robust Speech Recognition
In this paper we describe our initial efforts to make SPHINX, the CMU continuous speech recognition system, environmentally robust. Our work has two major goals: to enable SPHINX to adapt to changes in microphone and acoustical environment, and to improve the performance of SPHINX when it is trained and tested using a desk-top microphone. This talk will describe some of our work in acoustical p...
