Throughput Performance Evaluation And Analysis Of Unmodified Bluetooth Devices, Steven J. Taylor Mar 2004

Throughput Performance Evaluation And Analysis Of Unmodified Bluetooth Devices, Steven J. Taylor

Theses and Dissertations

The Air Force relies on the application of new technologies to support and execute its mission. As new technologies develop, the integration of that technology is studied to determine the costs and benefits it may provide to the war fighter. One such emergent technology is the Bluetooth wireless protocol, used to connect a small number of devices over a short distance. The short distance is a feature that makes using the protocol desirable. However short, there is still a vulnerability to interception. This research identifies ranges at which several commercially available Bluetooth devices are usable. Various combinations of both distance …

An Analysis Of The Performance And Security Of J2sdk 1.4 Jsse Implementation Of Ssl/Tls, Danny R. Bias Mar 2004

An Analysis Of The Performance And Security Of J2sdk 1.4 Jsse Implementation Of Ssl/Tls, Danny R. Bias

Theses and Dissertations

The Java SSL/TLS package distributed with the J2SE 1.4.2 runtime is a Java implementation of the SSLv3 and TLSv1 protocols. Java-based web services and other systems deployed by the DoD will depend on this implementation to provide confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. Security and performance assessment of this implementation is critical given the proliferation of web services within DoD channels. This research assessed the performance of the J2SE 1.4.2 SSL and TLS implementations, paying particular attention to identifying performance limitations given a very secure configuration. The performance metrics of this research were CPU utilization, network bandwidth, memory, and maximum number of …
