Distributed computation systems have become an important tool for scientific simulation, and a similarly distributed replica management system may be employed to increase the loc...
Abstract. The PCBC block cipher mode of operation has many variants, of which one, due to Meyer and Matyas, dates back over 20 years. Whilst a particularly simple variant of PCBC h...
We present and analyze portable access control mechanisms for large data repositories, in that the customized access policies are stored on a portable device (e.g., a smart card). ...
In a password-based authentication system, to authenticate a user, a server typically stores password verification data (PVD), which is a value derived from the user’s password...
A challenging unsolved security problem is how to specify and enforce system-wide security policies; this problem is even more acute in distributed systems with mutual distrust. T...
