Efficient Use of Memory Bandwidth to Improve Network Processor Throughput
White Paper This paper considers the efficiency of packet buffers used in packet switches built using Network Processors (NPs). Packet buffers are typically implemented using DRAM, which provides plentiful buffering at a reasonable cost. [11 Jul 2008]
Data Collection Mechanisms for Intrusion Detection Systems
White Paper Drawing from the experience obtained during the development and testing of a distributed intrusion detection system, the paper reflects on the data collection needs of intrusion detection systems, and on the limitations that are faced when using... [10 Jul 2008]
Efficient Intrusion Detection Using Automaton Inlining
White Paper Host-based intrusion detection systems attempt to identify attacks by discovering program behaviors that deviate from expected patterns. While the idea of performing behavior validation on-the-fly and terminating errant tasks as soon as a violation... [10 Jul 2008]
Intrusion Detection in RBAC-Administered Databases
White Paper A considerable effort has been recently devoted to the development of Database Management Systems (DBMS) which guarantee high assurance security and privacy. An important component of any strong security solution is represented by Intrusion... [08 Jul 2008]
A Reference Model for Firewall Technology
White Paper This paper concentrates on one particular technological aspect of providing communications security, firewall technology. Currently firewall technology is a specialized engineering solution rather than a scientifically based solution. [31 May 2008]
Analysis of Vulnerabilities in Internet Firewalls
White Paper Firewalls protect a trusted network from an untrusted network by filtering traffic according to a specified security policy. A diverse set of firewalls is being used today. As it is infeasible to examine and test each firewall for all possible... [24 Apr 2008]
SmashGuard: A Hardware Solution to Prevent Security Attacks on the Function Return Address
White Paper A buffer overflow attack is perhaps the most common attack used to compromise the security of a host. This attack can be used to change the function return address and redirect execution to the attacker's code. [11 Apr 2008]
SPACEDIVE: A Distributed Intrusion Detection System for Voice-over-IP Environments
White Paper Voices over IP (VoIP) systems are gaining in popularity as the technology for transmitting voice traffic over IP networks. Along with the anticipated widespread adoption of VoIP systems comes the possibility of security attacks targeted against... [11 Apr 2008]
High-Performance Network Intrusion Detection Through Parallelism
White Paper Network intrusion detection has become increasingly popular in recent years due to the proliferation of Internet-based security attacks. Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) inspect the content of incoming packets on a network for known... [11 Apr 2008]
LITEWORP: Detection and Isolation of the Wormhole Attack in Static Multihop Wireless Networks
White Paper In multihop wireless systems, such as ad-hoc and sensor networks, the need for cooperation among nodes to relay each other's packets exposes them to a wide range of security attacks. A particularly devastating attack is known as the wormhole attack... [11 Apr 2008]
Automated Rule-Based Diagnosis Through a Distributed Monitor System
White Paper In today's world where distributed systems form many of the critical infrastructures, dependability outages are becoming increasingly common. In many situations, it is necessary to not just detect a failure, but also to diagnose the failure, i.e.to... [11 Apr 2008]
Adaptive Correctness Monitoring for Wireless Sensor Networks Using Hierarchical Distributed Run-Time Invariant Checking
White Paper This paper presents a hierarchical approach for detecting faults in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) after they have been deployed. The developers of WSNs can specify "Invariants" that must be satisfied by the WSNs. [11 Apr 2008]
Network Architecture & Design: Virtualized Network Design for Computer Information Technology Department
White Paper Purdue is looking for methods to insure capability and sustainability of the university system if a pandemic occurs. Technological advancements in information technology are causing universities around the globe to move away from the traditional... [11 Jan 2008]
On the Impact of Bursting on TCP Performance
White Paper Periodically in the transport protocol research community, the idea of introducing a burst mitigation strategy is voiced. This paper assess the prevalence and implications of bursts in the context of real TCP traffic in order to better inform a... [08 Jan 2008]
Probing TCP Implementations
White Paper This paper demonstrates a technique called active probing used to study TCP implementations. Active probing treats a TCP implementation as a black box, and uses a set of procedures to probe the black box. [30 Oct 2007]
