Abstract--Packet Level Authentication (PLA) is a novel countermeasure against distributed denial-of-service attacks. Each packet sent across a network has a digital signature and p...
The existence of a central security authority is too restrictive for pervasive computing environments. Existing distributed security schemes fail in a pervasive computing environm...
We present the design and evaluation of Passport, a system that allows source addresses to be validated within the network. Passport uses efficient, symmetric-key cryptography to ...
Recent results indicate scalability problems for flat ad hoc networks. To address the issue of scalability, self-organizing hierarchical ad hoc architectures are being investigat...
Traditional Public Key Infrastructures (PKI) have not lived up to their promise because there are too many ways to define PKIs, too many cryptographic primitives to build them wi...
