- Localized Message Passing Structure for High Speed Ethernet Packet Switching
- This paper introduces two different physical structures and topologies to realize an ethernet layer-2 switch. To evaluate these two structures and produce throughput projections the paper has utilized MPI. This simulation environment has helped to identify performance bottlenecks and to give an overall estimation of the switch throughput. The results...

- On the Performance of IEEE 802.11 Under Jamming
- This paper studies the performance of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol under a range of jammers that covers both channel-oblivious and channel-aware jamming. The paper studies two channel-oblivious jammers: a periodic jammer that jams deterministically at a specified rate, and a memoryless jammer whose signals arrive according to a Poisson...

- A Benchmark Suite for Behavior-Based Security Mechanisms
- This paper presents a benchmark suite for evaluating behavior-based security mechanisms. Behavior-based mechanisms are used to protect computer systems from intrusion and detect malicious code embedded in legitimate applications. They complement signature-based mechanisms (e.g., anti-virus products) by tackling zero-day attacks that have no signatures extracted yet, as well as polymorphous...

- Information Systems Risk Factors, Risk Assessments, and Audit Planning Decisions
- This paper examines systems risk factors identified by external auditors for a sample of their actual audit clients. Specifically, the paper studies two important areas of information systems risk: the risk of breaches in system security and the risk that the information provided by the system is inadequate. To perform...
