Abstract—Handling mobility at the transport layer is a promising approach to achieve seamless handover in the context of heterogeneous wireless access networks. In particular, fe...
The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and its variant, Transport Layer Security (TLS), are used toward ensuring server security. In this paper, we characterize the cryptographic strength ...
Adapting to the network is the key to achieving high performance for communication-intensive applications, including scientific computing, data intensive computing, and multicast...
