When outsourcing data to an untrusted database server, the data should be encrypted. When using thin clients or low-bandwidth networks it is best to perform most of the work at the...
Creating ensembles of random but "realistic" topologies for complex systems is crucial for many tasks such as benchmark generation and algorithm analysis. In general, exp...
