UC and EUC Weak Bit-Commitments Using Seal-Once Tamper-Evidence

Serge Vaudenay

Based on tamper-evident devices, i.e., a type of distinguishable, sealed envelopes, we put forward weak bit-commitment protocols which are UC-secure. These commitments are weak in that it is legitimate that a party could cheat. Unlike in several similar li ...

A NICE Way to Test OpenFlow Applications

Dejan Kostic, Marco Canini, Peter Peresini, Jennifer Rexford

The emergence of OpenFlow-capable switches enables exciting new network functionality, at the risk of programming errors that make communication less reliable. The centralized programming model, where a single controller program manages the network, seems ...

Network Coding

Mahdi Jafari Siavoshani

The demand for higher throughput and better efficiency are two important challenges for future communication networks. During the past decades, a lot of research studies have been devoted to investigating and proposing near optimal and efficient schemes an ...

Reliable Physical Layer Network Coding

Michael Christoph Gastpar

When two or more users in a wireless network transmit simultaneously, their electromagnetic signals are linearly superimposed on the channel. As a result, a receiver that is interested in one of these signals sees the others as unwanted interference. This ...

All-Optical Self-Synchronizing Scheme for Contention Resolution in Asynchronous Optical Packet Switched Networks Using Continuously Tunable Optical Delay Line

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin, Andrea Trita

Continuously tunable, optically-controlled variable delay line based on dynamic Brillouin grating is exploited for automated synchronization of switching signals in a network node, enabling asynchronous contention resolution with packet priorization. ...

Neighbor discovery with reception status feedback to transmitters

Ramin Khalili

Neighbor discovery is essential for the process of self-organization of a wireless network, where almost all routing and medium access protocols need knowledge of one-hop neighbors. In this paper we study the problem of neighbor discovery in a static and s ...

Castor: Scalable Secure Routing for Ad Hoc Networks

Karl Aberer, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Marcin Poturalski, Wojciech Galuba, Zoran Despotovic

Wireless ad hoc networks are inherently vulnerable, as any node can disrupt the communication of potentially any other node in the network. Many solutions to this problem have been proposed. In this paper, we take a fresh and comprehensive approach that ad ...

A Provably Starvation-Free Distributed Directory Protocol

Vincent Gramoli, Hagit Albo Attiya

This paper presents Combine, a distributed directory protocol for shared objects, designed for large-scale distributed systems. Directory protocols support move requests, allowing to write the object locally, as well as lookup requests, providing a read-on ...

SenseCode: Network Coding for Reliable Sensor Networks

Christina Fragouli, Lorenzo Keller, Emre Atsan

Designing a communication protocol for sensor networks often involves obtaining the "right" trade-off between energy efficiency and reliability. In this paper, we show that network coding provides a means to elegantly balance these two goals. We present th ...

Robustness to failures in two-layer communication networks

Maciej Kurant

A close look at many existing systems reveals their two- or multi-layer nature, where a number of coexisting networks interact and depend on each other. For instance, in the Internet, any application-level graph (such as a peer-to-peer network) is mapped o ...
