Analysis of privacy protections in fitness tracking applications
No full textMobile fitness tracking apps allow users to track their workouts and share them with friends through online social networks. Although the sharing of personal data is an inherent risk in all social networks, the dangers presented by sharing personal workouts comprised of geospatial and health data may prove especially grave. While fitness apps offer a variety of privacy features, at present it is unclear if these countermeasures are sufficient to thwart a determined attacker, nor is it clear how many of their users are at risk.
In this work, we perform a systematic analysis of privacy behaviors and threats in fitness tracking social networks. Collecting a month-long snapshot of public posts to the popular Strava fitness tracking service (21 million posts, 3 million users), we observe that 16.5% of users make use of Endpoint Privacy Zones (EPZs), which conceal fitness activity nearby user-designated sensitive locations (e.g., home, office). We go on to develop an attack against EPZs that infers users’ protected locations from the remaining available information in public posts, discovering that 95.1% of moderately active users are at risk of having their protected locations extracted by an attacker. Finally, we consider the efficacy of state-of-the-art privacy mechanisms through adapting geo-indistinguishability techniques as well as developing a novel EPZ fuzzing technique. Strava has been notified of the discovered vulnerabilities and (at time of submission) is preparing to incorporate our countermeasures into their production system.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Muhammad Hussain, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-25 at 21:03.The student, Muhammad Hussain, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-04-25 at 21:10.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-04-26 at 14:30.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12510 on 2018-08-31 at 17:21:36Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:41:58Z (GMT).

Ganpat Rai Bheel (Author Bio)
No full textGanpat Rai Bheel (39) is an organic intellectual, a prolific essayist, columnist, translator, and an Ambedkarite activist. Bheel writes in local newspapers in Sindhi on everyday Dalit politics. He has published about 210 essays/articles in local newspapers in Sindhi and Urdu languages on the problem of caste among Dalits and Muslims, Dalit politics and activism, and actively defends the Dalit cause.
He has also edited an autobiography of Mama Faizoo (Faiz Muhammad Sheedi), an Afro-Sindhi and a member of several splinter local Black and Dalit associations during his lifetime. In 2016, he also translated B.R Ambedkar’s biography from Urdu to Sindhi and published it with Pakistan Dalit Adab Forum. Some of his essays have been translated into Urdu, Hindi, and English. He also co-authored a Dalit Manifesto in 2016 for Dalit Sujaag Tehreek, a group of anti-caste activists who strived to the mainstream anti-caste narrative.
In addition to that, he also issues a magazine Pakistan Dalit Adab, a quarterly newsletter from the platform of Pakistan Dalit Adab Forum and Scheduled Caste Federation of Pakistan (SCFP). He published and edited Dalit Adab consistently from 2007 to 2018. Owing to financial constraints, Bheel could not have published Dalit Adab, and SCFP is also now almost a dormant organization. Nonetheless, he continues to influence local Dalit activism through his essays in newspapers, and social media blogging. He has also edited and published other Dalit organization’s literature such as Kolvansh, a newsletter of Pakistani Kolhi Itehad, and the newsletters of Bheel Intellectual Forum (BIF); the local caste-based associations of Dalits.
Presently, Ganpat Rai Bheel is translating the works of B.R. Ambedkar, and writing a book on ‘Being Dalit in Pakistan’ in which he mounts the critique of Sindhi nationalist politics from the Ambedkarian perspective. In his writings, Ganpat Rai draws parallels between Sindhi nationalism and Hindu nationalism and shows how the empirically existing problem of caste is buried under Ashrafiya-Savarna hegemonic ideology. No wonder, Bheel’s essays have been neglected by the dominant intellectual lobbies, and his perspective on Sindhi nationalist politics has been derided as archaic, and destructive of Sindhi national whole. The writing and publication of this book will be a great booster for local Dalit activism to negotiate issues of political representation with conviction and certitude

Ganpat Rai is a school teacher at government school in Mithi, a town in the middle of the Thar Desert in Tharparkar, Sindh. Son of an elementary school teacher, he was born and raised in a Dalit family in a far-flung village in Tharparkar. In the mid-90s he developed an interest in politics after perceiving that oppressed castes can be redeemed from the scourge of caste through class struggle. He joined ‘Tabkati Jedojahad’, a Trotskyites’ group, and began writing for social injustice and for the rights of poor class in general. In the late 90s, he came to know about Dalit struggle through BBC radio programs and some early columns of VT Rajshekhar that were passed to him by Khursheed Qaimkhani
