There are few studies that look closely at how the topology of the Internet evolves over time; most focus on snapshots taken at a particular point in time. In this paper, we investigate the evolution of the topology of the Autonomous…

Networks play a central role in cyber-security: networks deliver security attacks, suffer from them, defend against them, and sometimes even cause them. This article is a concise tutorial on the large subject of networks and security,…

Dual Connectivity (DC) is an important lower-layer feature accelerating the transition from 4G to 5G that also is expected to play an important role in standalone 5G radio networks. However, even though the packet reordering introduced by…

The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has introduced significant challenges to privacy, particularly as network traffic analysis techniques evolve. While encryption protects data content, traffic attributes such as packet…

Network traffic classification is a core primitive for network security and management, yet it is increasingly challenged by pervasive encryption and evolving protocols. A central bottleneck is representation: hand-crafted flow statistics…

Internet of Things means connecting different devices through the Internet. The Internet of things enables humans to remotely manage and control the objects they use with the Internet infrastructure. After the advent of the Internet of…

When a user sends a message over a wireless network, the message does not travel as-is. It is encrypted, authenticated, encapsulated, and transformed as it descends the protocol stack from the application layer to the physical medium. Each…

Over the years, communication speed of networks has increased from a few Kbps to several Mbps, as also the bandwidth demand, Communication Protocols, however have not improved to that extent. With the advent of Wavelength Division…

In this paper we investigate the evolution of the IPv4 and IPv6 Internet topologies at the autonomous system (AS) level over a long period of time.We provide abundant empirical evidence that there is a phase transition in the growth trend…

INTRODUCTION: The proliferation of the amalgamation of IoT and edge computing has increased the demand for decentralised trust and security mechanisms capable of operating across heterogeneous and resource-limited devices. Approaches such…

In the modern CPU architecture, enhancements such as the Line Fill Buffer (LFB) and Super Queue (SQ), which are designed to track pending cache requests, have significantly boosted performance. To exploit this structures, we deliberately…

The evolution of Web and service technologies has led to a wide landscape of standards and protocols for interaction between loosely coupled software components. Examples range from Web applications, mashups, apps, and mobile devices to…

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are a cornerstone of modern computing, and their security is an active area of research. Many defenses with strong security guarantees have been proposed; however, the most-recent survey is over a decade old.…

Over the years, with the advancement of technology, Web technology has many improvements. In the early days, the web was one-way communication, and only the customer was able to see the content of the site and could not enter information.…

With the rise of a new generation of applications (e.g., virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, etc) demanding stringent performance requirements, the need for networking solutions and architectures that can enable a higher…

Transport and security protocols are essential to ensure reliable and secure communication between two parties. For IoT applications, these protocols must be lightweight, since IoT devices are usually resource constrained. Unfortunately,…

We focus on designing Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks that enable efficient communication. Over the last two decades, there has been substantial algorithmic research on distributed protocols for building P2P networks with various desirable…

As the shortcomings of our current Internet become more and more obvious, researchers have started creating alternative approaches for the Internet of the future. Their design goals are mainly content-orientation, security, support for…

The DNS is one of the most crucial parts of the Internet. Since the original DNS specifications defined UDP and TCP as the underlying transport protocols, DNS queries are inherently unencrypted, making them vulnerable to eavesdropping and…

Built on top of UDP, the relatively new QUIC protocol serves as the baseline for modern web protocol stacks. Equipped with a rich feature set, the protocol is defined by a 151 pages strong IETF standard complemented by several additional…
