The Security of EPC Gen2 Compliant RFID Protocols

The increased functionality of EPC Class1 Gen2 (EPCGen2) is making this standard the de facto specification for inexpensive tags in the RFID industry. EPCGen2 supports only very basic security tools such as a 16-bit Pseudo-Random Number Generator and a 16-bit Cyclic Redundancy Code. Recently two EPCGen2 compliant protocols that address...

Randomized Synopses for Query Assurance on Data Streams

The overwhelming flow of information in many data stream applications forces many companies to outsource to a third-party the deployment of a Data Stream Management System DSMS for performing desired computations. Remote computations intrinsically raise issues of trust, making query execution assurance on data streams a problem with practical implications....

Pipelined Broadcast on Ethernet Switched Clusters

This paper considers unicast-based pipelined broadcast schemes for clusters connected by multiple Ethernet switches. By splitting a large broadcast message into segments and broadcasting the segments in a pipelined fashion, pipelined broadcast may achieve very high performance. Algorithms are developed for computing various contention-free broadcast trees on Ethernet switched clusters...

Scalable Hybrid Search on Distributed Databases

A hybrid keyword search that combines metadata search with a traditional keyword search over unstructured context data has been previously described. This hybrid search paradigm provides the inquirer additional options to narrow the search with some semantic aspect from the XML metadata query. But in earlier work, the scalability limitations...

An Empirical Study of Reliable Multicast Protocols Over Ethernet - Connected Networks

Off late advances in multicasting over the Internet present new opportunities for improving communication performance in clusters of workstations. The standard IP multicast, however, only supports unreliable multicast, which is difficult to use for building high level message passing routines. Thus, reliable multicast primitives must be implemented over the standard...

Fitting Linux Device Drivers Into an Analyzable Scheduling Framework

API extensions and performance improvements to the Linux operating system now enable it to serve as a platform for a range of embedded real-time applications, using fixed-priority preemptive scheduling. Powerful techniques exist for analytical verification of application timing constraints under this scheduling model. However, when the application is layered over...

Computers with a 'human' face

For many years now, researchers have tried to make computers more user-friendly, sometimes with the use of avatars on screen trying to educate us. Results have never been really successful. But now, a researcher at Florida State University FSU is working to give computers a human 'face' and her computer-generated...

Wavelength Assignment to Minimize the Number of SONET ADMs in WDM Rings

Optical Wavelength Division Multiplexing WDM rings are being deployed to support SONET/SDH self-healing rings. The cost of such a system is dominated by the SONET Add/Drop Multiplexers ADMs. To minimize the system cost, algorithms must be developed to assign wavelengths to lightpaths in the system so that the number of...
