Abstract. We present a new cryptographic auction protocol that prevents extraction of bid information despite any collusion of participants. This requirement is stronger than commo...
We explore the revenue capabilities of truthful, monotone (“fair”) allocation and pricing functions for resource-constrained auction mechanisms within a general framework that ...
— Though tag bits in the data caches are vulnerable to transient errors, few effort has been made to reduce their vulnerability. In this paper, we propose to exploit prevalent sa...
This paper makes two main contributions towards establishing support for application-specific factors in middleware security mechanisms. First, it develops a simple classification...
We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
