We identify vulnerabilities in epidemic forwarding. We address broadcast applications over wireless ad-hoc networks. Epidemic forwarding employs several mechanisms such as inhibition and spread control and each of them can be achieved using different alter ...
Efficiently handling reputation is important in dealing with free-riding, malicious attacks and random failures in self-organized communication systems. At the same time, work in this context is often found to be relevant in many other disciplines, in part ...
The application of decentralized reputation systems is a promising approach to ensure cooperation and fairness, as well as to address random failures and malicious attacks in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks. However, they are potentially vulnerable to liars. With o ...
Naouel Ben Salem, Levente Buttyan, Jean-Pierre Hubaux and Markus Jakobsson abstract: In multi-hop cellular networks, the existence of a communication link between the mobile station and the base station is not required: a mobile station that has no direct ...
The rapid growth of WiFi over the past two years reveals the willingness of the Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) to develop this technology and the interest of the users in this new service. However, the lack of unified roaming slows down the de ...
Self-organized networks require some mechanism to ensure cooperation and fairness in the face of individual utility maximizing users and potential malicious attacks. Otherwise, network performance can be seriously deteriorated. One promising approach are d ...
The Byzantine failure model allows arbitrary behavior of a certain fraction of network nodes in a distributed system. It was introduced to model and analyse the effects of very severe hardware faults in aircraft control systems. Lately, the Byzantine failu ...
