In this paper, we discuss the remaining security risk of Wi-Fi AP spoofing with current AP joining approaches and how a new solution has been developed as part of the ULOOP project in order to be more user-friendly and secure. It was an important step for increased security because our evaluation shows that even computer aware users do not know or do not bother about this issue…

A key concern in the Internet of Things (IoT) has been the integration of mundane objects in the Internet. Although increasingly interconnected, the IoT ecosystem is largely industry-centered. This leads to the creation of limited and incompatible services disempowering users by hampering their participation. In this thesis, we address this issue by empowering users to create,…

Users increasingly access corporate data from their own devices and public wireless networks such airports Wi-Fi or coworking offices. On one hand, more work is possible, but on the other hand, it is riskier because the devices and locations may be untrustworthy. However, the Bring-Your-Own-Device trend is a fact and it is the reason we survey in this paper how computational trust…

Quality of Service Information System (QoSIS) focuses on measurement-based performance evaluation of wireless access networks provided by diverse mobile network operators in diverse locations and times. We have developed an Android OS mobile application that uses measurement data provided by real mobile users living in the Geneva area to predict the networks' expected…

The experimental setting of Human Mobile Computer Interaction (HCI) studies is moving from the controlled laboratory to the user's daily-life environments, while employing the users' own smartphones. These studies are challenging for both new and expert researchers in human subject studies in the HCI field. Within the last three years, we conducted three different…
