We propose a certificate-based single sign-on mechanism in distributed systems. The proposed security protocols and authentication mechanisms are integrated in a middleware. The novelty of our middleware lies on the use of XPCOM components,…
Cloud Computing is a recent computing model provides consistent access to wide area distributed resources. It revolutionized the IT world with its services provision infrastructure, less maintenance cost, data and service availability…
Recent research shows that colluded malware in different VMs sharing a single physical host may use a resource as a channel to leak critical information. Covert channels employ time or storage characteristics to transmit confidential…
The work discusses validation of properties of quantum circuits with many qubits using non-universal set of quantum gates ensuring possibility of effective simulation on classical computer. An understanding analogy between different models…
Cloud computing helps reduce costs, increase business agility and deploy solutions with a high return on investment for many types of applications, including data warehouses and on-line analytical processing. However, storing and…
Securing cloud configurations is an elusive task, which is left up to system administrators who have to base their decisions on ``trial and error'' experimentations or by observing good practices (e.g., CIS Benchmarks). We propose a…
With real-time certificate validation checking, a public-key-using system that needs to validate a certificate executes a transaction with a specialized validation party. At the end of the transaction the validation party returns an…
Virtualization technologies allow multiple tenants to share physical resources with a degree of security and isolation that cannot be guaranteed by mere containerization. Further, virtualization allows protected transparent introspection of…
The immense shift to cloud computing has brought changes in security and privacy requirements, impacting critical Identity Management services. Currently, many IdM systems and solutions are accessible as cloud services, delivering identity…
Cloud computing systems, in which clients rent and share computing resources of third party platforms, have gained widespread use in recent years. Furthermore, cloud computing for mobile systems (i.e., systems in which the clients are…
Commercial Cloud services have been increasingly supplied to customers in industry. To facilitate customers' decision makings like cost-benefit analysis or Cloud provider selection, evaluation of those Cloud services are becoming more and…
Cloud computing has become increasingly popular. Many options of cloud deployments are available. Testing cloud performance would enable us to choose a cloud deployment based on the requirements. In this paper, we present an innovative…
Cloud computing can and does mean different things to different people. The common characteristics most shares are on-demand secure access to metered services from nearly anywhere and dislocation of data from inside to outside the…
Confidential computing is a key technology for isolating high-assurance applications from the large amounts of untrusted code typical in modern systems. Existing confidential computing systems cannot be certified for use in critical…
Current architectures to validate, certify, and manage identity are based on centralised, top-down approaches that rely on trusted authorities and third-party operators. We approach the problem of digital identity starting from a human…
Today, cloud computing is an emerging way of computing in computer science. Cloud computing is a set of resources and services that are offered by the network or internet. Cloud computing extends various computing techniques like grid…
Owing to their cost-effectiveness and flexibility, cloud services have been the default choice for the deployment of innumerable software systems over the years. However, novel paradigms are beginning to emerge, as the cloud can't meet the…
Many tools and libraries are readily available to build and operate distributed Web applications. While the setup of operational environments is comparatively easy, practice shows that their continuous secure operation is more difficult to…
Skill verification is a central problem in workforce hiring. Companies and academia often face the difficulty of ascertaining the skills of an applicant since the certifications of the skills claimed by a candidate are generally not…
The last decade has sparked several valiant efforts in deductive verification of distributed agreement protocols such as consensus and leader election. Oddly, there have been far fewer verification efforts that go beyond the core protocols…
