Design And Implementation Of Path Finding And Verification In The Internet, Hao Cai
Design And Implementation Of Path Finding And Verification In The Internet, Hao Cai
Doctoral Dissertations
In the Internet, network traffic between endpoints typically follows one path that is determined by the control plane. Endpoints have little control over the choice of which path their network traffic takes and little ability to verify if the traffic indeed follows a specific path. With the emergence of software-defined networking (SDN), more control over connections can be exercised, and thus the opportunity for novel solutions exists. However, there remain concerns about the attack surface exposed by fine-grained control, which may allow attackers to inject and redirect traffic. To address these opportunities and concerns, we consider two specific challenges: (1) …
Design And Implementation Of Digital Information Security For Physical Documents, Pengcheng Wang
Design And Implementation Of Digital Information Security For Physical Documents, Pengcheng Wang
Masters Theses
The objective of this thesis is to improve the security for physical paper documents. Providing information security has been difficult in environments that rely on physical paper documents to implement business processes. Our work presents the design of a digital information security system for paper documents, called "CryptoPaper", that uses 2-dimensional codes to represent data and its security properties on paper. A special scanner system is designed for "CryptoPaper" which uses image recognition techniques and cloud-based access control to display plaintext of encrypted and encoded data to authorized users.
Prevention And Detection Of Intrusions In Wireless Sensor Networks, Ismail Butun
Prevention And Detection Of Intrusions In Wireless Sensor Networks, Ismail Butun
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) continue to grow as one of the most exciting and challenging research areas of engineering. They are characterized by severely constrained computational and energy
resources and also restricted by the ad-hoc network operational
environment. They pose unique challenges, due to limited power
supplies, low transmission bandwidth, small memory sizes and limited energy. Therefore, security techniques used in traditional networks cannot be directly adopted. So, new ideas and approaches are needed, in order to increase the overall security of the network. Security applications in such resource constrained WSNs with minimum overhead provides significant challenges, and is the …
Multihierarchical Documents And Fine-Grained Access Control, Neil Moore
Multihierarchical Documents And Fine-Grained Access Control, Neil Moore
Theses and Dissertations--Computer Science
This work presents new models and algorithms for creating, modifying, and controlling access to complex text. The digitization of texts opens new opportunities for preservation, access, and analysis, but at the same time raises questions regarding how to represent and collaboratively edit such texts. Two issues of particular interest are modelling the relationships of markup (annotations) in complex texts, and controlling the creation and modification of those texts. This work addresses and connects these issues, with emphasis on data modelling, algorithms, and computational complexity; and contributes new results in these areas of research.
Although hierarchical models of text and markup …
