A connection-chain refers to a mechanism in which someone recursively logs into a host, then from there logs into another host, and so on. Connection-chains represent an important...
This paper focuses on designing incentive mechanisms for overlay multicast systems. Existing proposals on the problem are no longer able to provide proper incentives when rational...
Linear cryptanalysis, along with differential cryptanalysis, is an important tool to evaluate the security of block ciphers. This work introduces a novel extension of linear crypt...
We derive bounds on the expected loss for authentication protocols in channels which are constrained due to noisy
conditions and communication costs. This is motivated by a
numbe...
It is widely recognized that distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks can disrupt electronic commerce and cause large revenue losses. However, effective defenses continue to b...
