- Improving VPN Performance Over Multiple Access Links
- To improve the performance of VPN connections the paper investigates how the bandwidth of multiple access links can be aggregated with inverse multiplexing to create a single, higher capacity logical communication link. But achieving the maximum possible aggregated TCP throughput becomes extremely challenging if the underlying links either use different...

- How to detect network vulnerabilities?
- Computer scientists at George Mason University GMU have developed a new software to identify complex cyber network attacks. This software is named CAULDRON (short for 'Combinatorial Analysis Utilizing Logical Dependencies Residing on Networks'). The developers claim that CAULDRON 'can reduce the impact of cyber attacks by identifying the possible vulnerability...

- "Out-of-the-Box" Monitoring of VM-Based High-Interaction Honeypots
- Honeypot has been an invaluable tool for the detection and analysis of network-based attacks by either human intruders or automated malware in the wild. The insights obtained by deploying honeypots, especially high-interaction ones, largely rely on the monitoring capability on the honeypots. In practice, based on the location of sensors,...

- E-Commerce Security Technologies: An Evaluation Using the Metasploit Framework (MSF)
- This research will evaluate the effectiveness of two publicly available network security products using penetration tests conducted with the Metasploit Framework. Metasploit is an open source toolkit and development platform used for software exploitation. The growing sophistication of both Metasploit and other network security products begs the simple question, Are...

- VoIP Intrusion Detection Through Interacting Protocol State Machines
- Being a fast-growing Internet application, Voice over Internet Protocol VoIP shares the network resources with the regular Internet traffic, and is susceptible to the existing security holes of the Internet. Moreover, given that voice communication is time sensitive and uses a suite of interacting protocols, VoIP exposes new forms of...

- A Column-Generation and Branch-and-Cut Approach to the Bandwidth-Packing Problem
- The bandwidth-packing problem is a combinatorial optimization problem arising from telecommunication networks where demand exceeds capacity and where point-to-point calls with varying bandwidths are routed on this network such that each call uses a single path. These problems occur within ATM technology and when video data is routed. It belongs...

- Enterprise password management really isn't a good idea
- Being at a university and working for a government department allows me to understand this concept well. There are shared resources here, there and everywhere, provided by different people and providers, all open to a "certain type" of person - employees or students. By having a single sign-on SSO point...

- From Chapter Two: The appliance computing culture
- The appliance computing culture earned its successes by focusing on the revenue generation side - and that, in turn, drove its own evolution to database technology, the "application as interfaces to data" view, and tight evolutionary links between University research groups and companies like DEC and DG. by Paul Murphy

- A new method to study origin of life
- U.S. researchers at Penn State University have developed a new computational method to understand how life began on Earth about four billion years ago. According to the scientists, their method 'has the potential to trace the evolutionary histories of proteins all the way back to either cells or viruses, thus...

- A virus in our genes, think about that....
- Really fascinating news: Virus is passed from parent to child in the DNA. Researchers found that roseola, an infection that everyone apparently gets but only 20 percent of children develop the characteristic rash that gives it its name, is actually in our DNA. It co-evolved into us, which raises some...
