Source-Assisted Direction Estimation Inside Buildings

Source-Assisted Direction Estimation Inside Buildings

Source direction estimation inside building is a difficult and challenging task due to severe multipath signal propagation. Numerous algorithms and techniques exist that provide high-resolution direction estimation under certain conditions and channel

Targeted Search: Reducing the Time and Cost for Searching for Objects in Multi-Server Networks

Targeted Search: Reducing the Time and Cost for Searching for Objects in Multi-Server Networks

In many applications - including P2P file sharing, content distribution networks, and grid computing - a single object will be searched for in multiple servers. In this paper, we find the provably optimal search method for such applications and develop

Cryptographic Hash Standards ? Where Do We Go From Here?

Cryptographic Hash Standards ? Where Do We Go From Here?

The two most commonly used cryptographic hash functions, MD5 and SHA-1, have been successfully attacked?it is no longer advisable to use them in some applications, although other applications are not affected. Furthermore, these attacks have triggered a

Autonomous System (AS) Isolation under Randomized BGP Session Attacks with RFD Exploitation

Autonomous System (AS) Isolation under Randomized BGP Session Attacks with RFD Exploitation

BGP peering session attacks are known to drive routes into route flap damping (RFD) suppression states and thus cause isolations between autonomous systems (ASes) and destinations. We present a detailed study of the impact of BGP peering session attacks
