Driver Safety Protocols, Emergency Response Systems, Insurance Coverage, and Customer Feedback on Service Quality in Indonesia's ride-hailing industry
Authors: Afifudin Moch , Taufikur Rahman Rahmat , Bahar Anisa , Prananta Arie Wahyu
Published: November 2024

This study examines the impact of driver safety protocols, emergency response systems, insurance coverage, and customer feedback on service quality in Indonesia's ride-hailing industry. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected from 400 ride-hailing users through a structured survey, while qualitative insights were gathered from 20 semi-structured interviews with drivers, customers, and company representatives. The findings indicate that emergency response systems have the most significant positive effect on service quality, followed by customer feedback and driver safety protocols. Although insurance coverage is also important, it demonstrated a comparatively lower impact. The study highlights the need for ride-hailing companies to enhance safety measures, improve communication regarding insurance, and develop robust customer feedback mechanisms to foster trust and satisfaction. These insights provide actionable recommendations for industry stakeholders and contribute to the theoretical understanding of service quality determinants in the ride-hailing context.

Published: November 2024

The immersive nature of Virtual Reality (VR) and its reliance on sensory devices like head-mounted displays introduce privacy risks to users. While earlier research has explored users' privacy concerns within VR environments, less is known about users' comprehension of VR data practices and protective behaviors; the expanding VR market and technological progress also necessitate a fresh evaluation. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 VR users, showing their diverse perceptions regarding the types of data collected and their intended purposes. We observed privacy concerns in three dimensions: institutional, social, and device-specific. Our participants sought to protect their privacy through considerations when selecting the device, scrutinizing VR apps, and selective engagement in different VR interactions. We contrast our findings with observations from other technologies and ecosystems, shedding light on how VR has altered the privacy landscape for end-users. We further offer recommendations to alleviate users' privacy concerns, rectify misunderstandings, and encourage the adoption of privacy-conscious behaviors.
Privacy Perceptions Across the XR Spectrum: An Extended Reality Cross-Platform Comparative Analysis of A Virtual House Tour
Authors: Warin Chris , Pak Viktoriya , Reinhardt Delphine
Published: November 2024

Extended Reality (XR) devices are becoming available in all shapes and forms. They are foreseen to be the backbone of the Metaverse, which is expected to increasingly lead toward more interconnected XR experiences in the future. However, these devices include a large number of sensors that collect sensitive data about users and their surroundings, thus posing threats to their privacy. Until now, research on how users perceive these threats has rather focused on either Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR), Mixed Reality (MR), or Virtual Reality (VR). Still, adopting a global vision including all these technologies, i.e., XR, is necessary to understand the potential differences in privacy between users that future cross-platform experiences may cause. This understanding is needed to bring usable Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) to XR users. In this paper, we therefore consider different XR technologies together, and analyze users’ related privacy perceptions. By doing so, we observe differences and similarities between each of these technologies by comparing them against each other. In our study, 20 participants have visited a virtual house guided by a real-estate agent, with a cross-platform application that we developed for (1) Android (MAR), (2) Microsoft Hololens (MR), and (3) Meta Quest 2 (VR). They tested our application with two of these devices. We then conducted a semi-structured interview to gather comparisons and insights on their experience with both technologies, including permission requests, sensor data collection, and privacy perceptions. Our findings suggest that our participants are more concerned about MAR and MR than VR . We found they were less aware about the use of camera and eye tracking data than microphone data in the context of our application. In addition, half of our participants were more concerned about XR than more common technologies (i.e.,computers, smartphones), despite overall low concerns on XR and low awareness on biometric data sensitivity. These insights underline aspects that must further be developed to raise XR users’ awareness and help them in better controlling their privacy, such as more adapted sets of permissions to track surfaces in XR.

Published: November 2024

Distributed training that enables multiple parties to jointly train a model on their respective datasets is a promising approach to address the challenges of large volumes of diverse data for training modern machine learning models. However, this approach immedi- ately raises security and privacy concerns; both about each party wishing to protect its data from other parties during training and preventing leakage of private information from the model after training through various inference attacks. In this paper, we ad- dress both these concerns simultaneously by designing efficient Differentially Private, secure Multiparty Computation (DP-MPC) protocols for jointly training a model on data distributed among multiple parties. Our DP-MPC protocol in the two-party setting is 56-794× more communication-efficient and 16-182× faster than previous such protocols. Conceptually, our work simplifies and improves on previous attempts to combine techniques from secure multiparty computation and differential privacy, especially in the context of ML training.
Privacy-preserving Multiple Sequence Alignment Scheme for Long Gene Sequence
Authors: Jiang Yatong , Shang Tao , Liu Jianwei
Published: November 2024

Gene Multiple Sequence Alignment is crucial for genomic data analysis, forming the basis for studying its biological significance. The digitization of genomic data allows collaborative analysis on cloud platforms, improving the efficiency and precision of genomic research. However, gene sequences contain sensitive information, posing a risk of privacy leakage with unauthorized access. Balancing privacy, accuracy, and efficiency in multiple sequence alignment for long gene sequences remains a challenge. In this paper, we propose a distributed privacy-preserving multiple sequence alignment scheme for long sequences based on secure multi-party computation. Our scheme includes a method for segmenting long sequences to achieve partially distributed computing and a privacy-preserving method for calculating edit distance among subsequences using secret sharing. The scheme consists of a distributed computing phase and an aggregate computing phase, optimizing efficiency by dropping repeated subsequences alignment. Our proposed scheme achieves accurate and efficient privacy-preserving alignment for long gene sequences.
High-Throughput Secure Multiparty Computation with an Honest Majority in Various Network Settings

Published: November 2024

In this work, we present novel protocols over rings for semi-honest secure three-party computation (3PC) and malicious four-party computation (4PC) with one corruption. While most existing works focus on improving total communication complexity, challenges such as network heterogeneity and computational complexity, which impact MPC performance in practice, remain underexplored. Our protocols address these issues by tolerating multiple arbitrarily weak network links between parties without any substantial decrease in performance. Additionally, they significantly reduce computational complexity by requiring up to half the number of basic instructions per gate compared to related work. These improvements lead to up to twice the throughput of state-of-the-art protocols in homogeneous network settings and up to eight times higher throughput in real-world heterogeneous settings. These advantages come at no additional cost: Our protocols maintain the best-known total communication complexity per multiplication, requiring 3 elements for 3PC and 5 elements for 4PC.We implemented our protocols alongside several state-of-the-art protocols (Replicated 3PC, ASTRA, Fantastic Four, Tetrad) in a novel open-source C++ framework optimized for high throughput. Five out of six implemented 3PC and 4PC protocols achieve more than one billion 32-bit multiplications or over 32 billion AND gates per second using our implementation in a 25 Gbit/s LAN environment. This represents the highest throughput achieved in 3PC and 4PC so far, outperforming existing frameworks like MP-SPDZ, ABY3, MPyC, and MOTION by two to three orders of magnitude.
User-Centric Textual Descriptions of Privacy-Enhancing Technologies for Ad Tracking and Analytics
Authors: Xian Lu , Lee-Kan Song Mi , Im Jane , Schaub Florian
Published: November 2024

Describing Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) to the general public is challenging but essential to convey the privacy protections they provide. Existing research has explored the explanation of differential privacy in health contexts. Our study adapts well-performing textual descriptions of local differential privacy from prior work to a new context and broadens the investigation to the descriptions of additional PETs. Specifically, we develop user-centric textual descriptions for popular PETs in ad tracking and analytics, including local differential privacy, federated learning with and without local differential privacy, and Google's Topics. We examine the applicability of previous findings to these expanded contexts, and evaluate the PET descriptions with quantitative and qualitative survey data (n=306). We find that adapting a process- and implications-focused approach to the ad tracking and analytics context achieved similar effects in facilitating user understanding compared to health contexts, and that our descriptions developed with this process+implications approach for the additional, understudied PETs help users understand PETs' processes. We also find that incorporating an implications statement into PET descriptions did not hurt user comprehension but also did not achieve a significant positive effect, which contrasts prior findings in health contexts. We note that the use of technical terms as well as the machine learning aspect of PETs, even without delving into specifics, led to confusion for some respondents. Based on our findings, we offer recommendations and insights for crafting effective user-centric descriptions of privacy-enhancing technologies.
SoK: Computational and Distributed Differential Privacy for MPC
Authors: Meisingseth Fredrik , Rechberger Christian
Published: November 2024

In the last fifteen years, there has been a steady stream of works combining differential privacy with various other cryptographic disciplines, particularly that of multi-party computation, yielding both practical and theoretical unification. As a part of that unification, due to the rich definitional nature of both fields, there have been many proposed definitions of differential privacy adapted to the given use cases and cryptographic tools at hand, resulting in computational and/or distributed versions of differential privacy. In this work, we offer a systemisation of such definitions, with a focus on definitions that are both computational and tailored for a multi-party setting. We order the definitions according to the distribution model and computational perspective and propose a viewpoint on when given definitions should be seen as instantiations of the same generalised notion. The ordering highlights a clear, and sometimes strict, hierarchy between the definitions, where utility (accuracy) can be traded for stronger privacy guarantees or lesser trust assumptions. Further, we survey theoretical results relating the definitions and extend some of them. We also discuss the state of well-known open questions and suggest new open problems to study. Finally, we consider aspects of the practical use of the different notions, hopefully giving guidance also to future applied work.

Published: November 2024

Recent developments in the field of Dynamic Searchable Symmetric Encryption (DSSE) with forward and backward privacy have attracted much attention from both research and industrial communities. However, most DSSE schemes with forward and backward privacy schemes only support single keyword queries, which impedes its prevalence in practice. Although some forward and backward private DSSE schemes with expressive queries (e.g., conjunctive queries) have been introduced, their backward privacy either essentially corresponds to single keyword queries or forward privacy is not comprehensive. In addition, the deletion of many DSSE schemes is achieved by addition paired with a deletion mark (i.e., lazy deletion). To address these problems, we present two novel DSSE schemes with conjunctive queries (termed SDSSE-CQ and SDSSE-CQ-S), which achieve both forward and backward privacy. To analyze their security, we present two new levels of backward privacy (named Type-O and Type-O-, more and more secure), which give a more comprehensive understanding of the leakages of conjunctive queries in the OXT framework. Eventually, the security analysis and experimental evaluations show that the proposed schemes achieve better security with reasonable computation and communication increase.
Communication Efficient Differentially Private Federated Learning Using Second Order Information
Authors: Krouka Mounssif , Koskela Antti , Kulkarni Tejas
Published: November 2024

Training machine learning models with differential privacy (DP) is commonly done using first-order methods such as DP-SGD. In the non-private setting, second-order methods try to mitigate the slow convergence of first-order methods. The DP methods that use second-order information still provide faster convergence, however the existing methods cannot be easily turned into federated learning (FL) algorithms without an excessive communication cost required by the exchange of the Hessian or feature covariance information between the nodes and the server. In this paper we propose DP-FedNew, a DP method for FL that uses second-order information and results in per-iteration communication cost similar to first-order methods such as DP Federated Averaging.
A Comprehensive Study of Privacy Risks in Curriculum Learning

Published: November 2024

Training a machine learning model with data following a meaningful order, i.e., from easy to hard, has been proven to be effective in accelerating the training process and achieving better model performance. The key enabling technique is curriculum learning (CL), which has seen great success and has been deployed in areas like image and text classification. Yet, how CL affects the privacy of machine learning is unclear. Given that CL changes the way a model memorizes the training data, its influence on data privacy needs to be thoroughly evaluated. To fill this knowledge gap, we perform the first study and leverage membership inference attack (MIA) and attribute inference attack (AIA) as two vectors to quantify the privacy leakage caused by CL. Our evaluation of 9 real-world datasets with attack methods (NN-based, metric-based, label-only MIA, and NN-based AIA) revealed new insights about CL. First, MIA becomes slightly more effective when CL is applied, but the impact is much more prominent to a subset of training samples ranked as difficult. Second, a model trained under CL is less vulnerable under AIA, compared to MIA. Third, the existing defense techniques like MemGuard and MixupMMD are not effective under CL. Finally, based on our insights into CL, we propose a new MIA, termed Diff-Cali, which exploits the difficulty scores for result calibration and is demonstrated to be effective against all CL methods and the normal training method. With this study, we hope to draw the community's attention to the unintended privacy risks of emerging machine-learning techniques and develop new attack benchmarks and defense solutions.
MixBuy: Contingent Payment in the Presence of Coin Mixers
Authors: Castejon-Molina Diego , Vasilopoulos Dimitrios , Moreno-Sanchez Pedro
Published: November 2024

A contingent payment protocol involves two mutually distrustful parties, a buyer and a seller, operating on the same blockchain, and a digital product, whose ownership is not tracked on a blockchain (e.g. a digital book). The buyer holds coins on the blockchain and transfers them to the seller in exchange for the product. However, if the blockchain does not hide transaction details, any observer can learn that a buyer purchased some product from a seller. In this work, we take contingent payment a step further: we consider a buyer who wishes to buy a digital product from a seller routing the payment via an untrusted mixer. Crucially, we require that said payment is unlinkable, meaning that the mixer (or any other observer) does not learn which buyer is paying which seller.We refer to such setting as unlinkable contingent payment (UCP).We present MixBuy, a system that realizes UCP. Mixbuy relies on oracle-based unlinkable contingent payment (O-UCP), a novel four-party cryptographic protocol where the mixer pays the seller and the seller provides the buyer with the product only if a semi-trusted notary attests that the buyer has paid the mixer. More specifically, we require four security notions: (i) mixer security that guarantees that if the mixer pays the seller, the mixer must get paid from the buyer; (ii) seller security that guarantees that if the seller delivers the product to the buyer, the seller must get paid from the {mixer}; (iii) buyer security that guarantees that if the buyer pays the mixer, the buyer must obtain the product; and (iv) unlinkability that guarantees that given a set of buyers and sellers, the mixer should not learn which buyer paid which seller. We present a provably secure and efficient cryptographic construction for O-UCP. Our construction can be readily used to realize UCP on most blockchains, as it has minimal functionality requirements (i.e., digital signatures and timelocks). To demonstrate the practicality of our construction, we provide a proof of concept for O-UCP and our benchmarks in commodity hardware show that the communication overhead is small (a few kB per message) and the running time is below one second.

Published: November 2024

Browser fingerprinting can be used to identify and track users across the Web, even without cookies, by collecting attributes from users' devices to create unique 'fingerprints'. This technique and resulting privacy risks have been studied for over a decade. Yet further research is limited because prior studies used data not publicly available. Additionally, data in prior studies lacked user demographics. Here we provide a first-of-its-kind dataset to enable further research. It includes browser attributes with users' demographics and survey responses, collected with informed consent from 8,400 US study participants. We use this dataset to demonstrate how fingerprinting risks differ across demographic groups. For example, we find lower income users are more at risk, and find that as users' age increases, they are both more likely to be concerned about fingerprinting and at real risk of fingerprinting. Furthermore, we demonstrate an overlooked risk: user demographics, such as gender, age, income level and race, can be inferred from browser attributes commonly used for fingerprinting, and we identify which browser attributes most contribute to this risk. Our data collection process also conducted an experiment to study what impacts users' likelihood to share browser data for open research, in order to inform future data collection efforts, with responses from 12,461 total participants. Female participants were significantly less likely to share their browser data, as were participants who were shown the browser data we asked to collect. Overall, we show the important role of user demographics in the ongoing work that intends to assess fingerprinting risks and improve user privacy, with findings to inform future privacy enhancing browser developments. The dataset and data collection tool we provide can be used to further study research questions not addressed in this work.
Towards Privacy-preserving and Fairness-aware Federated Learning Framework

Published: November 2024

Federated Learning (FL) enables the distributed training of a model across multiple data owners under the orchestration of a central server responsible for aggregating the models generated by the different clients. However, the original approach of FL has significant shortcomings related to privacy and fairness requirements. Specifically, the observation of the model updates may lead to privacy issues, such as membership inference attacks, while the use of imbalanced local datasets can introduce or amplify classification biases, especially for minority groups. In this work, we show that these biases can be exploited to increase the likelihood of privacy attacks against these groups. To do so, we propose a novel inference attack exploiting the knowledge of group fairness metrics during the training of the global model. Then to thwart this attack, we define a fairness-aware encrypted-domain aggregation algorithm that is differentially-private by design thanks to the approximate precision loss of the threshold multi-key CKKS homomorphic encryption scheme. Finally, we demonstrate the good performance of our proposal both in terms of fairness and privacy through experiments conducted over three real datasets.
Evaluation of Fumigant Toxicity of Eucalyptus globulus Essential oil (Family: Myrtaceae) against the Mechanical Vector, American Cockroach, Periplaneta Americana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Blattodea: Blattidae)
Authors: A Raghavi. , Raja B. Ananda Ganesa
Published: November 2024

The American cockroach, Periplaneta americana (Linnaeus, 1758), one of the largest and most resilient cockroach species, possess significant threats to public health and food safety due to its ability to transmit diseases and contaminate food. The widespread application of chemical pesticides to control cockroach infestations raises significant public health concerns due to its residual toxicity. The continued use of insecticides results in resistance development in cockroach populations which demands alternative pest management strategies wherein the chemical insecticides were completely restricted in human dwelling areas such as apartments, hospitals, restaurants and food preparation areas. The plant’s diverse profile of bioactive compounds and secondary metabolites, coupled with its complex nature, renders it a promising natural resource for the development of safe alternative against cockroach management. The median lethal dosage LD50 of E. globulus essential oil was found to be 16.74784 µL against the male American Cockroach, P. americana analysed using probit analysis. The present study was conducted to evaluate the fumigant toxicity of eucalyptus essential oil (Eucalyptus globulus) against the male American Cockroach, Periplaneta americana in a laboratory experiment. Five different doses of E. globulus essential oil 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 µL against male American Cockroach, P. americana were evaluated and compared to the untreated control (negative control). Results, indicated a dose dependent response with 100 per cent mortality achieved at 50 µL of eucalyptus essential oil followed by 40 (80%), 30 (60%), 20 (46.67%) and 5 (26.67) µL. The Eucalyptus globulus essential oil can be used as a potent fumigant against the male American Cockroach, P. americana which is an ecofriendly management of cockroach infestation.

ASPECTOS DA FILOSOFIA MORAL DE NIETZSCHE
Authors: Giovan Gomes Acosta Lucas
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo busca apresentar brevemente alguns aspectos da crítica de Nietzsche à moral a partir do seu autoproclamado imoralismo. Num primeiro momento, destaca-se que como imoralista, não apenas nega a validade e a eficácia da moralidade cristã, mas também vislumbra-se como um tipo peculiar de moralista que visa a inverter a autoridade e o poder da moral contra ela mesma. O filósofo se denomina como o primeiro imoralista em Ecce Homo de 1888, definindo sua “natureza mais íntima” como amor fati. Num segundo momento, discutese que essa refutação ocorre por meio de sua corrosiva e implacável crítica aos fundamentos epistêmicos da metafísica e da Moral, especialmente a moralidade de cunho racional. Assim, coloca sob suspeita a crença em toda a moral, desvela suas fundações e destrói seus constructos axiológicos. Por fim, busca-se estabelecer uma relação entre a vontade de poder e o imoralismo.

The Romantic Influencer: A Review of Social Media’s Impact on Relationship Satisfaction
Authors: L. Rainey Rebekah , L. Arney Kelly
Published: November 2024

Social media is a significant part of the modern human experience. It infiltrates every part of life. There is great value in understanding the nature of social media in every sphere of its influence, especially the romantic relationship. The general public has long been concerned over the suspected harmful impact of social media in relationships. This literature review synthesizes studies over the past decade on the relationship between social media usage and romantic relationship satisfaction. While many problematic outcomes have been found for romantic partners due to social media, other studies have shown positive effects. Most of these social media behaviors foster unintentional consequences, whether positive or negative. A few examples of negative social media influences include increased partner suspicion, conflict, and pressure. Ultimately, these produce lower levels of satisfaction. Benefits from social media’s inclusion in the life of a couple, such as easier communication and common interest building, were found to positively impact satisfaction. Additionally, this review interacts with unique studies on the impact of intentional social media abuses, including addiction and unfaithfulness. The overarching theme is the circular causality of romantic satisfaction. There are many interacting factors involved in social media’s use and the way it is perceived among partners. These must be studied in greater depth to truly capture social media’s pull in romantic relationships. In review of the literature, specific considerations toward sampling and measurement are noted. Opportunities for further research include employing new research methods and focusing on the impact of social media on the family system. These findings have the potential to improve the quality of therapy among professionals who work with couples. Public agencies can use such information to improve education and implement preventative measures in the social media arena. In this review, social media is referred to as SM for the sake of brevity.
The Canvas of Grief and Loss: Painting A Way for Mental Vitality
Authors: Lemley Abbie , Arney Kelly
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this systematic review was to explore the relationship between grief and loss counseling and the beneficial effects it has on mental health. By analyzing a variety of different studies and peer-reviewed journal articles that targeted bereavement topics, it revealed how grief and loss counseling is beneficial depending on the person and type of grief that has developed. Key findings include how grief impacts an individual emotionally, physically, and spiritually which reflects how the overall well-being of a person is. It is also noted how psychological wellness may impact physiological wellness. Another key finding was how complicated grief therapy is one of the most successful grief and loss counseling practices to help bereaved individuals, but other interventions were also found successful. Those other interventions consisted of emotionally focused therapy, compassion-focused therapy, family-focused therapy, interpersonal therapy, standard psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, bibliotherapy, and snow globe therapy. There are more interventions to help people than listed, but the paper specifically addressed those. However, future research needs to be completed to gain further understanding of grief and loss and how to help bereaved individuals obtain care that fits their desired needs. It is essential to take note of how everyone processes grief at their own pace which also explains why certain interventions may not be successful for every grieving individual. It is also significant to acknowledge when people can find benefit through the loss, it helps the individual move through the process of grieving which highlights the meaningful influence of finding a purpose for the pain.

Published: November 2024

Advertisements are crafted to influence and engage audiences through various linguistic strategies. This study investigates the use of deixis in a Grammarly advertisement video, focusing on how different types of deictic expressions contribute to the narrative and effectiveness of the advertisement. Using Levinson's (1983) framework, the research categorizes deictic expressions into five types: person, place, time, discourse, and social deixis. The qualitative content analysis reveals that person deixis helps establish character identities and relationships, while place deixis provides spatial context, enhancing the audience's ability to visualize scenes. Time deixis ensures chronological coherence and builds suspense, and discourse deixis maintains narrative continuity and focus. Social deixis highlights social relationships and hierarchies, adding depth to interactions. The findings underscore the importance of contextual information in interpreting deictic expressions and demonstrate how deixis enhances communication in advertising. This study contributes to the understanding of Pragmatic language use in promotional content and offers practical insights for creating more engaging and effective advertisements.

Realitas dalam masyarakat menunjukkan bahwa kasus-kasus kekerasan dalam rumah tangga semakin banyak terjadi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji penegakan hukum terhadap pelaku kekerasan dalam rumah tangga dan bagaimana perlindungan hukum terhadap korban istri akibat kekerasan dalam rumah tangga oleh suami. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan hukum yuridis normatif. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan undang-undang, pendekatan konseptual, pendekatan analisis, pendekatan kasus, dan pendekatan perbandingan yang pada prinsipnya bersumber dari bahan hukum primer, bahan hukum sekunder, serta bahan hukum tersier dengan teknik analisis bahan hukum kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penegakan hukum terhadap pelaku kekerasan dalam rumah tangga antara lain menjatuhkan pidana kepada pelaku kekerasan dalam rumah tangga sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 44 sampai dengan Pasal 53 Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2004. Dalam kasus-kasus pada penelitian ini, penjatuhan pidana bukan saja untuk pembalasan semata melainkan sarana edukatif (pendidikan), korektif, dan preventif (pencegahan) agar pelaku tidak mengulangi perbuatannya lagi dan menegakan hukum sebagai perlindungan bagi korban kekerasan dalam rumah tangga. Namun, pada realitanya, kekerasan dalam rumah tangga masih terus berulang dan perlindungan hukum terhadap korban istri akibat kekerasan dalam rumah tangga tercermin dengan adanya hak-hak korban, perlindungan, dan pemulihan korban yang tercantum dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2004.
