Multipath TCP (MPTCP) extends traditional TCP to enable simultaneous use of multiple connection endpoints at the source and destination. MPTCP has been under active development since its standardization in 2013, and more recently in…
Textual passwords remain a predominant authentication mechanism in web security. To evaluate their strength, existing research has proposed several data-driven models across various scenarios. However, these models generally treat passwords…
We consider a scenario of broadcasting information over a network of nodes connected by noiseless communication links. A source node in the network has $k$ data packets to broadcast, and it suffices that a large fraction of the network…
The IPv6 routing protocol for low-power and lossy networks (RPL) is the standard routing protocol for IPv6 based low-power wireless personal area networks (6LoWPANs). In RPL protocol, DODAG information object (DIO) messages are used to…
Open proxies forward traffic on behalf of any Internet user. Listed on open proxy aggregator sites, they are often used to bypass geographic region restrictions or circumvent censorship. Open proxies sometimes also provide a weak form of…
We develop an approximate analytical technique for evaluating the performance of multi-hop networks based on beaconless IEEE 802.15.4, a popular standard for wireless sensor networks. The network comprises sensor nodes, which generate…
The growing demand in indoor small cell networks has given rise to the concept of micro-operators (MOs) for local service delivery. We model and analyze a spectrum sharing system involving such MOs where a buyer MO buys multiple licensed…
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is currently one of the hottest technologies in wireless, it is a standard-based on the IEEE 802.16 wireless technology that provides high throughput broadband connections over long…
In this paper we analyze the distribution of the Age of Information (AoI) of a tagged data stream sharing a processor with a set of other data streams. We do so in the highly general setting in which the interarrival times pertaining to the…
Positioning using wave signal measurements is used in several applications, such as GPS systems, structure from sound and Wifi based positioning. Mathematically, such problems require the computation of the positions of receivers and/or…
Mobile edge caching (MEC) has been introduced to support ever-growing end-users' needs. To reduce the backhaul traffic demand and content delivery latency, cache-enabled edge servers at base stations (BSs) are employed to provision popular…
The Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is the main mechanism to protect inter-domain routing with BGP from prefix hijacks. It has already been widely deployed by large providers and the adoption rate is getting to a critical point.…
This collection bundles the following memos dedicated to Ethernet protocols featuring a very long binary transport word (microframe): [1] "Data Coding Means and Event Coding Means Multiplexed Over the 1000BASE-T1 PCS Payload" (extends the…
As the deployment of comprehensive Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) security measures is still in progress, BGP monitoring continues to play a critical role in protecting the Internet from routing attacks. Fundamentally, monitoring involves…
We consider a tree network spanning a set of source nodes that generate measurement packets, a set of additional relay nodes that only forward packets from the sources, and a data sink. We assume that the paths from the sources to the sink…
Identifying those causes and parameters that affect the Quality of Service (QoS) of Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) through heterogeneous networks such as WiFi, WiMAX and between them are carried out using the OPNET simulation tool.…
Source Address Validation (SAV) is a standard aimed at discarding packets with spoofed source IP addresses. The absence of SAV for outgoing traffic has been known as a root cause of Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks and received…
This paper investigates a multiuser scheduling problem within an uplink multiple-input multi-output (MIMO) status update network, consisting of a multi-antenna base station (BS) and multiple single-antenna devices. The presence of multiple…
Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, ranging from smart home assistants to health devices, are pervasive: Forecasts estimate their number to reach 29 billion by 2030. Understanding the security of their machine-to-machine communication is…
Age of information (AoI) is a performance metric that captures the freshness of status updates. While AoI has been studied thoroughly for point-to-point links, the impact of modern random-access protocols on this metric is still unclear. In…
