Simulators are the most dominant and eminent tool for analyzing and investigating different type of networks. The simulations can be executed with less cost as compared to large scale experiment as less computational resources are required…
As spectrum sharing becomes increasingly vital to meet rising wireless demands in the future, spectrum monitoring and transmitter identification are indispensable for enforcing spectrum usage policy, efficient spectrum utilization, and…
Bitcoin is based on a P2P network that is used to propagate transactions and blocks. While the P2P network design intends to hide the topology of the P2P network, information about the topology is required to understand the network from a…
Peer-to-peer interactions between small-scale energy resources exploit distribution network infrastructure as an electricity carrier, but remain financially unaccountable to electric power utilities. This status-quo raises multiple…
Threat hunting is a proactive methodology for exploring, detecting and mitigating cyberattacks within complex environments. As opposed to conventional detection systems, threat hunting strategies assume adversaries have infiltrated the…
Distributed in-network programs are increasingly deployed in data centers for their performance benefits, but shifting application logic to switches also enlarges the failure domain. Ensuring their correctness before deployment is thus…
Transparency is crucial in security-critical applications that rely on authoritative information, as it provides a robust mechanism for holding these authorities accountable for their actions. A number of solutions have emerged in recent…
The models of peer to peer protocols are presented with the help of one-step processes. On the basis of this presentation and the method of randomization of one-step processes described method for constructing models of peer to peer…
In the past few years, IRC bots, malicious programs which are remotely controlled by the attacker through IRC servers, have become a major threat to the Internet and users. These bots can be used in different malicious ways such as issuing…
The design of permissioned blockchains places an access control requirement for members to read, access, and write information over the blockchains. In this paper, we study a hierarchical scenario to include three types of participants:…
The last mile connection is dominated by wireless links where heterogeneous nodes share the limited and already crowded electromagnetic spectrum. Current contention based decentralized wireless access system is reactive in nature to…
This article studies disruption tolerant networks (DTNs) where each node knows the probabilistic distribution of contacts with other nodes. It proposes a framework that allows one to formalize the behaviour of such a network. It generalizes…
With the ever growing Internet of Things (IoT) market, ledger systems are facing new challenges to efficiently store and secure enormous customer records collected by the IoT devices. The authenticity, availability, and integrity of these…
Security protocols are often found to be flawed after their deployment. We present an approach that aims at the neutralization or mitigation of the attacks to flawed protocols: it avoids the complete dismissal of the interested protocol and…
Safeguarding online communications using public key cryptography is a well-established practice today, but with the increasing reliance on `faceless', solely online entities one of the core aspects of public key cryptography is becoming a…
Private blockchain networks are used by enterprises to manage decentralized processes without trusted mediators and without exposing their assets publicly on an open network like Ethereum. Yet external parties that cannot join such networks…
Bitcoin is a digital currency and electronic payment system operating over a peer-to-peer network on the Internet. One of its most important properties is the high level of anonymity it provides for its users. The users are identified by…
Bitcoin is a popular alternative to fiat money, widely used for its perceived anonymity properties. However, recent attacks on Bitcoin's peer-to-peer (P2P) network demonstrated that its gossip-based flooding protocols, which are used to…
BitTorrent is a popular communication protocol for peer-to-peer file sharing. It uses a data-centric approach, wherein the data is decentralized and peers request each other for pieces of the file(s). Aspects of this process is similar to…
In this paper, we present a distributed algorithm for solving convex, constraint-coupled, optimization problems over peer-to-peer networks. We consider a network of processors that aim to cooperatively minimize the sum of local cost…
