Building distributed systems is an inherently difficult and complex task. Modern middleware architectures assist developers ding abstractions that hide transport layer functionali...
This paper describes GulfStream, a scalable distributed software system designed to address the problem of managing the network topology in a multi-domain server farm. In particul...
Current object-oriented approaches to distributed programs may be criticized in several respects. First, method calls are generally synchronous, which leads to much waiting in dis...
This is the first part of a two-part paper on information-theoretically secure secret key agreement. In this part, we study the secrecy problem under the widely studied source mod...
We present a cryptographic framework to achieve access control, privacy of social relations, secrecy of resources, and anonymity of users in social networks. The main idea is to u...
