Microarchitectural side channels expose unprotected software to information leakage attacks where a software adversary is able to track runtime behavior of a benign process and steal secrets such as cryptographic keys. As suggested by…

CPU caches introduce variations into the execution time of programs that can be exploited by adversaries to recover private information about users or cryptographic keys. Establishing the security of countermeasures against this threat…

Adaptive indexing is a concept that considers index creation in databases as a by-product of query processing; as opposed to traditional full index creation where the indexing effort is performed up front before answering any queries.…

With the advent of increasingly complex hardware in real-time embedded systems (processors with performance enhancing features such as pipelines, cache hierarchy, multiple cores), many processors now have a set-associative L2 cache. Thus,…

Intrusion detection in wireless ad hoc networks is a challenging task because these networks change their topologies dynamically, lack concentration points where aggregated traffic can be analyzed, utilize infrastructure protocols that are…

The tradeoff between the user's memory size and the worst-case download time in the $(H,r,M,N)$ combination network is studied, where a central server communicates with $K$ users through $H$ immediate relays, and each user has local cache…

In-network caching is one of the fundamental operations of Information-centric networks (ICN). The default caching strategy taken by most of the current ICN proposals is caching along--default--path, which makes popular objects to be cached…
