Towards the Development of a Cyber Analysis & Advisement Tool (CAAT) for Mitigating De-Anonymization Attacks

We are seeing a rise in the number of Anonymous Social Networks (ASN) that claim to provide a sense of user anonymity. However, what many users of ASNs do not know that a person can be identified by their writing style. In this paper, we provide an overview of a number of author concealment techniques, their impact on the semantic meaning of an author\u27s original text, and introduce AuthorCAAT, an application for mitigating de-anonymization attacks. Our results show that iterative paraphrasing performs the best in terms of author concealment and performs well with respect to Latent Semantic Analysis

How can we can create an equitable CHI

This panel aims to generate conversation toward creating a more equitable CHI. In recognizing our community’s hard work thus far, this panel seeks to engage panelists and participants with thought-provoking questions to garner and promote actionable items for the community. We intend to have an open dialogue on allyship, diversity, equity, and inclusion to achieve a CHI for all

Abstract We are seeing a rise in the number of Anonymous Social Networks (ASN) that claim to provide a sense of user anonymity. However, what many users of ASNs do not know that a person can be identified by their writing style. In this paper, we provide an overview of a number of author concealment techniques, their impact on the semantic meaning of an author's original text, and introduce AuthorCAAT, an application for mitigating de-anonymization attacks. Our results show that iterative paraphrasing performs the best in terms of author concealment and performs well with respect to Latent Semantic Analysis
