BlackBerry Storm2: RIM's second touchscreen - this time with wi-fi
News RIM has also improved the auto-correction algorithm for typing, according to Orr, to "better predict what you're trying to do and to say". BlackBerry-maker RIM has unveiled its second touchscreen device, the Storm2. [15 Oct 2009]
A Case Study in Testing a Network Security Algorithm
White Paper Several difficulties arise when testing network security algorithms. First, using network data captured at a router does not guarantee that any instances of the security event of interest will be captured. [05 Oct 2009]
Dynamic Routing With Security Considerations
White Paper Different from the past work on the designs of cryptography algorithms and system infrastructures, the paper will propose a dynamic routing algorithm that could randomize delivery paths for data transmission. [04 Oct 2009]
Implementation of SSL Using Information Security Component Interface
White Paper The implemented SSL uses the lower-level SSL component when establishing the RMI (Remote Method Invocation) communication between components, as if the security algorithm had been implemented by adding one more layer on... [04 Oct 2009]
The Early Detection of DDoS Based on the Persistent Increment Feature of the Traffic Volume
White Paper This paper proposes a new algorithm based on the persistent increment tendency of DDoS traffic. Simulation shows the algorithm's validity and accuracy. One of the major threats to cyber security is... [02 Oct 2009]
Defending Against Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks With Weight-Fair Router Throttling
White Paper The defense mechanism is based on a distributed algorithm that performs weight-fair throttling at the upstream routers. A high profile internet server is always a target of denial-of-service attacks. This paper proposes... [02 Oct 2009]
Proposal of Constructing PKI on Overlay Network
