Energy consumption represents a significant cost in data center operation. A large fraction of the energy, however, is used to power idle servers when the workload is low. Dynamic provisioning techniques aim at saving this portion of the…
With the increasing processing capability of mobile platforms and advancements in Internet of Things, modern mobile devices have shown a favorable prospect for on-the-go service provisioning. However, there is much to be done to realize…
Data randomization or scrambling has been effectively used in various applications to improve the data security. In this paper, we use the idea of data randomization to proactively randomize the spectrum (re)allocation to improve…
Integrity checking is ubiquitous in data networks, but not all network traffic needs integrity protection. Many applications can tolerate slightly damaged data while still working acceptably, trading accuracy versus efficiency to save time…
In recent years, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has become widely used in current internet protocols. It is a text-based protocol much like Hyper Text Transport Protocol (HTTP) and Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP). SIP is a strong…
Secure installation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices requires configuring access control correctly for each device. In order to enable correct configuration the Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) has been developed by Internet…
A hallmark of object-oriented programming is the ability to perform computation through a set of interacting objects. A common manifestation of this style is the notion of a package, which groups a set of commonly used classes together. A…
We consider rule sets for internet packet routing and filtering, where each rule consists of a range of source addresses, a range of destination addresses, a priority, and an action. A given packet should be handled by the action from the…
Currently, the TCP/IP model enables exploitation of vulnerabilities anonymously by unconditionally fulfilling every request for a connection into an application; the model only incorporates authentication within applications themselves,…
We consider streaming over a peer-to-peer network with homogeneous nodes in which a single source broadcasts a data stream to all the users in the system. Peers are allowed to enter or leave the system (adversarially) arbitrarily. Previous…
Emerging networked systems become increasingly flexible and reconfigurable. This introduces an opportunity to adjust networked systems in a demand-aware manner, leveraging spatial and temporal locality in the workload for online…
The aim of this paper is to analyze the dynamic evolution of a VPN, modeled as a system, controled by a manager who should take appropriate decisions. To take the best possible decisions, the operator should be able to worst behavior, in…
The advance of web services technologies promises to have far-reaching effects on the Internet and enterprise networks allowing for greater accessibility of data. The security challenges presented by the web services approach are…
We consider a multichannel random access system in which each user accesses a single channel at each time slot to communicate with an access point (AP). Users arrive to the system at random and be activated for a certain period of time…
After one year since the entry into force of the GDPR, all web sites and data controllers have updated their procedures to store users' data. The GDPR does not only cover how and what data should be saved by the service providers, but it…
The design and implementation of efficient concurrent data structures have seen significant attention. However, most of this work has focused on concurrent data structures providing good \emph{worst-case} guarantees. In real workloads,…
A dynamic dictionary is a data structure that maintains sets of cardinality at most $n$ from a given universe and supports insertions, deletions, and membership queries. A filter approximates membership queries with a one-sided error that…
To supervise and guarantee a network security, the administrator uses different security components, such as firewalls, IDS and IPS. For a perfect interoperability between these components, they must be configured properly to avoid…
Some protected password change protocols were proposed. However, the previous protocols were easily vulnerable to several attacks such as denial of service, password guessing, stolen-verifier and impersonation atacks etc. Recently, Chang et…
Static filtering is a data-independent optimisation method for Datalog, which generalises algebraic query rewriting techniques from relational databases. In spite of its early discovery by Kifer and Lozinskii in 1986, the method has been…
