In resource-constrained IoT networks, the use of conventional message authentication codes (MACs) to provide message authentication and integrity is not possible due to the large size of the MAC output. A straightforward yet naive solution…
Media sharing is an extremely popular paradigm of social interaction in online social networks (OSNs) nowadays. The scalable media access control is essential to perform information sharing among users with various access privileges. In…
The locator/identifier split approach assumes separating functions of a locator (i.e. topology--dependent attachment point address) and identifier (topology-independent unique identifier) currently both served by an IP address. This work is…
Arithmetic Coding (AC) is widely used for the entropy coding of text and video data. It involves recursive partitioning of the range [0,1) in accordance with the relative probabilities of occurrence of the input symbols. A data (image or…
The physical layer security in the up-link of the wireless communication systems is often modeled as the multiple access wiretap channel (MAC-WT), and recently it has received a lot attention. In this paper, the MAC-WT has been re-visited…
