When circuits are set up and dismantled dynamically in elastic optical networks, spectrum tends to become fragmented in the fiber links. The fragmentation limits the available path choices and may lead to significant blocking of connection…
Cascading failures are a critical vulnerability of complex information or infrastructure networks. Here we investigate the properties of load-based cascading failures in real and synthetic spatially-embedded network structures, and propose…
Embedded real-time devices for monitoring, controlling, and collaboration purposes in cyber-physical systems are now commonly equipped with IP networking capabilities. However, the reception and processing of IP packets generates workloads…
Consumers interact with firms across multiple devices, browsers, and machines; these interactions are often recorded with different identifiers for the same consumer. The failure to correctly match different identities leads to a fragmented…
Attack graphs are a tool for analyzing security vulnerabilities that capture different and prospective attacks on a system. As a threat modeling tool, it shows possible paths that an attacker can exploit to achieve a particular goal.…
From data centers to IoT devices to Internet-based applications, overlay networks have become an important part of modern computing. Many of these overlay networks operate in fragile environments where processes are susceptible to faults…
Fault-tolerant distributed algorithms are central for building reliable spatially distributed systems. Unfortunately, the lack of a canonical precise framework for fault-tolerant algorithms is an obstacle for both verification and…
Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6 in short) is a networking solution for IP backbones and datacenters, which has been recently adopted in several of large scale network deployments. The SRv6 research, standardization and implementation…
As machine learning models become increasingly deployed across the edge of internet of things environments, a partitioned deep learning paradigm in which models are split across multiple computational nodes introduces a new dimension of…
Many companies and organizations use firewalls to control the access to their network infrastructure. Firewalls are network security components which provide means to filter traffic within corporate networks, as well as to police incoming…
Since its introduction in 1987, the DNS has become one of the core components of the Internet. While it was designed to work with both TCP and UDP, DNS-over-UDP (DoUDP) has become the default option due to its low overhead. As new Resource…
Dynamic analysis, through rehosting, is an important capability for security assessment in embedded systems software. Existing rehosting techniques aim to provide high-fidelity execution by accurately emulating hardware and peripheral…
Eliminating unnecessary exposure is a principle of server security. The huge IPv6 address space enhances security by making scanning infeasible, however, with recent advances of IPv6 scanning technologies, network scanning is again…
Seamless connectivity plays a key role in realising QoS-based delivery in mobile networks. However, current handover mechanisms hinder the ability to meet this target, due to the high ratio of handover failures, packet loss and service…
Segment routing is a modern form of source-based routing, i.e., a routing technique where all or part of the routing decision is predetermined by the source or a hop on the path. Since initial standardization efforts in 2013, segment…
The IPv4 address space is small enough to allow exhaustive active measurement, permitting important insight into Internet growth, policy, and evolution. The IPv6 address space, on the other hand, presents the problem that we can no longer…
Coded computation is a framework which provides redundancy in distributed computing systems to speed up largescale tasks. Although most existing works assume an error-free scenarios in a master-worker setup, the link failures are common in…
The proliferation of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing protocols is due to their efficient and scalable methods for data dissemination to numerous users. But many of these networks have no provisions to provide users with long term access to…
Several researchers have proposed solutions for secure data outsourcing on the public clouds based on encryption, secret-sharing, and trusted hardware. Existing approaches, however, exhibit many limitations including high computational…
The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) has been successfully established as the de facto standard for decentralized data storage in the emerging Web3. Despite its decentralized nature, IPFS nodes, as well as IPFS content providers, have…
