Development Of A Methodology For Customizing Insider Threat Auditing On A Microsoft Windows Xp® Operating System, Terry E. Levoy

Theses and Dissertations

Most organizations are aware that threats from trusted insiders pose a great risk to their organization and are very difficult to protect against. Auditing is recognized as an effective technique to detect malicious insider activities. However, current auditing methods are typically applied with a one-size-fits-all approach and may not be an appropriate mitigation strategy, especially towards insider threats. This research develops a 4-step methodology for designing a customized auditing template for a Microsoft Windows XP operating system. Two tailoring methods are presented which evaluate both by category and by configuration. Also developed are various metrics and weighting factors as a …


Mitigating Tcp Degradation Over Intermittent Link Failures Using Intermediate Buffers, M. Brent Reynolds Jun 2006

Mitigating Tcp Degradation Over Intermittent Link Failures Using Intermediate Buffers, M. Brent Reynolds

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis addresses the improvement of data transmission performance in a challenged network. It is well known that the popular Transmission Control Protocol degrades in environments where one or more of the links along the route is intermittently available. To avoid this degradation, this thesis proposes placing at least one node along the path of transmission to buffer and retransmit as needed to overcome the intermittent link. In the four-node, three-link testbed under particular conditions, file transmission time was reduced 20 fold in the case of an intermittent second link when the second node strategically buffers for retransmission opportunity.
