We discuss research issues and models for vulnerabilities and threats in distributed computing systems. We present four diverse approaches to reducing system vulnerabilities and th...
The recent trend towards dynamically extensible systems, such as Java, SPIN or VINO, promises more powerful and flexible systems. At the same time, the impact of extensibility on...
We give a new distributed algorithm EasyMAC for the slot assignment for media access control (MAC) of nodes in a sensor network. Our algorithm reduces both the number of messages ...
Abstract. We investigate the experimental effectiveness of query rewriting over XML security views. Our model consists of access control policies specified over DTDs with XPath e...
We describe the design and implementation of a security infrastructure for a distributed Java application. This work is inspired by SDSI/SPKI, but has a few twists of its own. We ...
