Multimedia streaming over HTTP is no longer a niche research topic as it has entered our daily live. The common assumption is that it is deployed on top of the existing infrastructure utilizing application (HTTP) and transport (TCP) layer…

Achieving situational awareness is a challenging process in current HTTPS-dominant web traffic. In this paper, we propose a new approach to encrypted web traffic monitoring. First, we design a method for correlating host-based and network…

We introduce Hermes, a general-purpose networking architecture that aims to improve service delivery over the Internet. Hermes delegates networking responsibilities from applications and services to proxies and is designed as a portable,…

Building and deploying software on high-end computing systems is a challenging task. High performance applications have to reliably run across multiple platforms and environments, and make use of site-specific resources while resolving…

Numerous systems for dissemination, retrieval, and archiving of documents have been developed in the past. Those systems often focus on one of these aspects and are hard to extend and combine. Typically, the transmission protocols, query…

REST HTTP is the communication protocol of choice for software developers today. In IoT systems with unreliable connectivity, however, a stateless protocol like REST HTTP needs to send a request message multiple times, and it only stops the…

A network covert channel is created that uses resource names such as addresses to convey information, and that approximates typical user behavior in order to blend in with its environment. The channel correlates available resource names…

QUIC is a new protocol standardized in 2021 designed to improve on the widely used TCP / TLS stack. The main goal is to speed up web traffic via HTTP, but it is also used in other areas like tunneling. Based on UDP it offers features like…

The beginning of the 21st century has seen many projects on distributed hash tables, both research and commercial. One of their aims has been to replace the first generation of file sharing software with scalable peer-to-peer architectures.…

cURL (libcurl) is a popular and widely used library distributed with the php interpreter. It allows php applications to connect to and communicate with external resources (servers) by using wide variety of communication protocols. In most…

The MIT SuperCloud Portal Workspace enables the secure exposure of web services running on high performance computing (HPC) systems. The portal allows users to run any web application as an HPC job and access it from their workstation while…

The LOCKSS digital preservation system collects content by crawling the web and preserves it in the format supplied by the publisher. Eventually, browsers will no longer understand that format. A process called format migration converts it…

Coded caching is a technique that promises huge reductions in network traffic in content-delivery networks. However, the original formulation and several subsequent contributions in the area, assume that the file requests from the users are…

Process migration involves moving the running state of a process from one physical system to another, as is commonly done for virtual machines. In this paper, we describe how Content Centric Networking (CCNx) facilitates process migration…

The hybrid runtime (HRT) model offers a path towards high performance and efficiency. By integrating the OS kernel, runtime, and application, an HRT allows the runtime developer to leverage the full feature set of the hardware and…

The sustained popularity of the cloud and cloud-related services accelerate the evolution of virtualization-enabling technologies. Modern off-the-shelf computers are already equipped with specialized hardware that enables a hypervisor to…

NeXus is a joint effort of both the synchrotron and neutron scattering community to devlop a common data exchange format based on HDF. In order to simplify access to NeXus-files a NeXus-API is provided. This NeXus-API has been redesigned…

InterPlanetary File System~(IPFS) is one of the most promising decentralized off-chain storage mechanisms, particularly relevant for blockchains, aiming to store the content forever, thus it is crucial to understand its composition, deduce…

Publicly available information contains valuable information for Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI). This can be used to prevent attacks that have already taken place on other systems. Ideally, only the initial attack succeeds and all…

A stack overflow occurs when a program or process tries to store more data in a buffer (or stack) than it was intended to hold. If the affected program is running with special privileges or accepts data from untrusted network hosts (e.g. a…
