Internet is growing at a fast pace. The link speeds are surging toward 40 Gbps with the emergence of faster link technologies. New applications are coming up which require intelligent processing at the intermediate routers. Switches and…
In a secure coded caching system, a central server balances the traffic flow between peak and off-peak periods by distributing some public data to the users' caches in advance. Meanwhile, these data are securely protected against the…
Forward Secrecy (FS) is a security property in key-exchange algorithms which guarantees that a compromise in the secrecy of a long-term private-key does not compromise the secrecy of past session keys. With a growing awareness of long-term…
VoIP is becoming a low-priced and efficient replacement for PSTN in communication industries. With a widely growing adoption rate, SIP is an application layer signaling protocol, standardized by the IETF, for creating, modifying, and…
Passive operating system fingerprinting reveals valuable information to the defenders of heterogeneous private networks; at the same time, attackers can use fingerprinting to reconnoiter networks, so defenders need obfuscation techniques to…
Demands on Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) data transport have been increasing over the years as frame sizes and refresh rates increase. As the bandwidths requirements increase the ability to implement data transport protocol layers…
