  abstract = {Routing algorithm has great influence on system overall performance in
        Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications. In current DHT based routing algorithms, routing
        tasks are distributed across all system peers. However, a routing hop could
        happen between two widely separated peers with high network link latency which
        greatly increases system routing overheads. In this paper, we propose a new P2P
        routing algorithm--- HIERAS to relieve this problem, it keeps scalability
        property of current DHT algorithms and improves system routing performance by the
        introduction of hierarchical structure. In HIERAS, we create several lower level
        P2P rings besides the highest level P2P ring. A P2P ring is a subset of the
        overall P2P overlay network. We create P2P rings in such a strategy that the
        average link latency between two peers in lower level rings is much smaller than
        higher level rings. Routing tasks are first executed in lower level rings before
        they go up to higher level rings, a large portion of routing hops previously
        executed in the global P2P ring are now replaced by hops in lower level rings,
        thus routing overheads can be reduced. The simulation results show HIERAS routing
        algorithm can significantly improve P2P system routing performance},

        face a social dilemma. They must decide whether to contribute to the common good

        downloading files while not contributing any to the network. Individuals gain no

        "rational" for users to free ride. However, significant numbers of free riders
        degrade the entire system's utility, creating a "tragedy of the digital commons."
        In this article, a new analysis of free riding on the Gnutella network updates
        data from 2000 and points to an increasing downgrade in the network's overall
        performance and the emergence of a "metatragedy" of the commons among Gnutella

        digital elements in our environment increases. Computing capability comes in
        various forms and is embedded in different physical objects, ranging from
        miniature devices such as human implants and tiny sensor particles, to large
        constructions such as vehicles and entire buildings. The number of possible
        interactions among such elements, some of which may be invisible or offer similar
        functionality, is growing fast so that it becomes increasingly hard to combine or
        select between them. Mechanisms are thus required for intelligent matchmaking
        that will achieve controlled system behavior, yet without requiring the user to
        continuously input desirable options in an explicit manner. In this paper we
        argue that information about the colocation relationship of computing elements is
        quite valuable in this respect and can be exploited to guide automated service
        selection with minimal or no user involvement. We also discuss the implementation

        refine the consistent hashing data structure that underlies the Chord (and
        Koorde) P2P network. Both preserve Chord's logarithmic query time and
        near-optimal data migration cost.Consistent hashing is an instance of the
        distributed hash table (DHT) paradigm for assigning items to nodes in a
        peer-to-peer system: items and nodes are mapped to a common address space, and
        nodes have to store all items residing closeby in the address space.Our first
        protocol balances the distribution of the key address space to nodes, which
        yields a load-balanced system when the DHT maps items "randomly" into the address
        space. To our knowledge, this yields the first P2P scheme simultaneously
        achieving O(log n) degree, O(log n) look-up cost, and constant-factor load
        balance (previous schemes settled for any two of the three).Our second protocol
        aims to directly balance the distribution of items among the nodes. This is
        useful when the distribution of items in the address space cannot be randomized.
        We give a simple protocol that balances load by moving nodes to arbitrary
        locations "where they are needed." As an application, we use the last protocol to
        give an optimal implementation of a distributed data structure for range searches

        University of Wisconsin, Madison. It is designed to backup large heterogeneous
        networks. It uses the Tcl scripting language and standard backup programs like
        dump(1) and GNUTar to enable backups of a wide variety of data sources, including
        UNIX and Windows NT workstations, AFS based storage, and others. It also uses Tcl
        for the creation of the user interface, giving the system administrator great
        flexibility in customizing the system. Burt supports parallel backups to ensure
        high backup speeds, and checksums to ensure data integrity. The principal
        contribution of Burt is that it provides a powerful I/O engine within the context
        of a flexible scripting language; this combination enables graceful solutions to
        many problems associated with backups of large installations. At our site, we use
        Burt to backup data from 350 workstations and from our AFS servers, a total of
        approximately 900 GB every two weeks},

        utilizing Internet information and resources. However, the mechanism of peers
        randomly choosing logical neighbors without any knowledge about underlying
        physical topology can cause a serious topology mismatch between the P2P overlay
        network and the physical underlying network. The topology mismatch problem brings
        great stress in the Internet infrastructure. It greatly limits the performance
        gain from various search or routing techniques. Meanwhile, due to the inefficient
        overlay topology, the flooding-based search mechanisms cause a large volume of
        unnecessary traffic. Aiming at alleviating the mismatching problem and reducing
        the unnecessary traffic, we propose a location-aware topology matching (LTM)
        technique. LTM builds an efficient overlay by disconnecting slow connections and
        choosing physically closer nodes as logical neighbors while still retaining the
        search scope and reducing response time for queries. LTM is scalable and
        completely distributed in the sense that it does not require any global knowledge
        of the whole overlay network. The effectiveness of LTM is demonstrated through

        primarily suited for small-scale MANETs with few nodes. Building upon the

        cooperating directories within the network. Scalability of our protocol comes

        stations). These design decisions contribute to ease of deployment, an important
        requirement for community wireless networks. However, this architecture carries
        the risk that lack of planning might render the network's performance unusably
        low. For example, it might be necessary to place nodes carefully to ensure
        connectivity; the omni-directional antennas might provide uselessly short radio
        ranges; or the inefficiency of multi-hop forwarding might leave some users
        effectively disconnected.The paper evaluates this unplanned mesh architecture

        nodes spread over four square kilometers of an urban area. The network provides

        on connectivity and throughput; the characteristics of the links that the routing

        omni-directional antennas for robustness and throughput; and the potential

        paper examines two space-efficient metadata structures for versioning file
        systems and describes their integration into the Comprehensive Versioning File
        System (CVFS), which keeps all versions of all files. Journal-based metadata
        encodes each metadata version into a single journal entry; CVFS uses this
        structure for inodes and indirect blocks, reducing the associated space
        requirements by 80\%. Multiversion b-trees extend each entrys key with a
        timestamp and keep current and historical entries in a single tree; CVFS uses
        this structure for directories, reducing the associated space requirements by
        99\%. Similar space reductions are predicted via trace analysis for other
        versioning strategies (e.g., on-close versioning). Experiments with CVFS verify
        that its current-version performance is sim-ilar to that of non-versioning file
        systems while reducing overall space needed for history data by a factor of two.

        services under the BAR model; and (3) It describes an implementation of BAR-B the
        first cooperative backup service to tolerate both Byzantine users and an
        unbounded number of rational users. At the core of BAR-B is an asynchronous
        replicated state machine that provides the customary safety and liveness
        guarantees despite nodes exhibiting both Byzantine and rational behaviors. Our

        simultaneously achieves high fault-tolerance, constant-sized nodes, and fast
        update and query times for ordered data. It is a non-trivial adaptation of the
        SkipNet/skip-graph structures of Harvey et al. and Aspnes and Shah, so as to
        provide fault-tolerance as these structures do, but to do so using constant-sized
        nodes, as in the family tree structure of Zatloukal and Harvey. It supports
        successor queries on a set of n items using O(log n) messages with high
        probability, an improvement over the expected O(log n) messages of the family
        tree. Our structure achieves these results by using the following new
        constructs:{\textbullet} Rainbow connections: parallel sets of pointers between
        related components of nodes, so as to achieve good connectivity between
        "adjacent" components, using constant-sized nodes.{\textbullet} Hydra components:
        highly-connected, highly fault-tolerant components of constant-sized nodes, which
        will contain relatively large connected subcomponents even under the failure of a
        constant fraction of the nodes in the component.We further augment the hydra
        components in the rainbow skip graph by using erasure-resilient codes to ensure
        that any large subcomponent of nodes in a hydra component is sufficient to
        reconstruct all the data stored in that component. By carefully maintaining the
        size of related components and hydra components to be O(log n), we are able to
        achieve fast times for updates and queries in the rainbow skip graph. In
        addition, we show how to make the communication complexity for updates and
        queries be worst case, at the expense of more conceptual complexity and a slight
        degradation in the node congestion of the data structure},

        and erasure codes, which are used by most peer to peer storage systems like
        OceanStore, PAST or CFS, to guarantee data durability. Second we characterize
        peer to peer systems according to a volatility factor (a peer is free to leave
        the system at anytime) and to an availability factor (a peer is not permanently
        connected to the system). Third we model the behavior of a system as a Markov
        chain and analyse the average life time of data (MTTF) according to the
        volatility and availability factors. We also present the cost of the repair
        process based on these redundancy schemes to recover failed peers. The conclusion
        of this study is that when there is no high availability of peers, a simple
        replication scheme may be more efficient than sophisticated erasure codes},

  abstract = {Overlay networks are widely used to deploy functionality at edge nodes
        without changing network routers. Each node in an overlay network maintains
        pointers to a set of neighbor nodes. These pointers are used both to maintain the
        overlay and to implement application functionality, for example, to locate
        content stored by overlay nodes. If an attacker controls a large fraction of the
        neighbors of correct nodes, it can "eclipse" correct nodes and prevent correct
        overlay operation. This Eclipse attack is more general than the Sybil attack.
        Attackers can use a Sybil attack to launch an Eclipse attack by inventing a large
        number of seemingly distinct overlay nodes. However, defenses against Sybil
        attacks do not prevent Eclipse attacks because attackers may manipulate the
        overlay maintenance algorithm to mount an Eclipse attack. This paper discusses
        the impact of the Eclipse attack on several types of overlay and it proposes a
        novel defense that prevents the attack by bounding the degree of overlay nodes.
        Our defense can be applied to any overlay and it enables secure implementations
        of overlay optimizations that choose neighbors according to metrics like
        proximity. We present preliminary results that demonstrate the importance of
        defending against the Eclipse attack and show that our defense is effective},

        observe that mobile nodes in realistic wireless DTNs may always have some

        deliver a specific message. This estimation can greatly enhance the routing
        performance in DTNs. Furthermore, we adopt an alternative way to generate
        redundancy using erasure coding. With a fixed overhead, the erasure coding can
        generate a large number of message-blocks instead of a few replications, and
        therefore it allows the transmission of only a portion of message to a relay.
        This can greatly increase the routing diversity when combined with
        estimation-based approaches. We have conducted extensive simulations to evaluate
        the performance of our scheme. The results demonstrate that our scheme

  abstract = {Wireless transmission of a single bit can require over 1000 times more energy
        than a single computation. It can therefore be beneficial to perform additional
        computation to reduce the number of bits transmitted. If the energy required to
        compress data is less than the energy required to send it, there is a net energy
        savings and an increase in battery life for portable computers. This article
        presents a study of the energy savings possible by losslessly compressing data
        prior to transmission. A variety of algorithms were measured on a StrongARM
        SA-110 processor. This work demonstrates that, with several typical compression
        algorithms, there is a actually a net energy increase when compression is applied
        before transmission. Reasons for this increase are explained and suggestions are
        made to avoid it. One such energy-aware suggestion is asymmetric compression, the
        use of one compression algorithm on the transmit side and a different algorithm
        for the receive path. By choosing the lowest-energy compressor and decompressor
        on the test platform, overall energy to send and receive data can be reduced by
        11\% compared with a well-chosen symmetric pair, or up to 57\% over the default

        relationships, choice of upstream providers, inter-domain traffic engineering.
        One essential component of these tasks is the ability to predict routes in the
        Internet. However, the Internet is composed of a large number of independent
        autonomous systems (ASes) resulting in complex interactions, and until now no
        model of the Internet has succeeded in producing predictions of acceptable
        accuracy.We demonstrate that there are two limitations of prior models: (i) they
        have all assumed that an Autonomous System (AS) is an atomic structure--it is
        not, and (ii) models have tended to oversimplify the relationships between ASes.
        Our approach uses multiple quasi-routers to capture route diversity within the
        ASes, and is deliberately agnostic regarding the types of relationships between
        ASes. The resulting model ensures that its routing is consistent with the
        observed routes. Exploiting a large number of observation points, we show that
        our model provides accurate predictions for unobserved routes, a first step

        resolution in spite of highly dynamic node membership, which is a significant
        problem in the Internet context. However, with the inherently higher packet loss

        connected to the Internet to back up their data cooperatively: Each computer has
        a set of partner computers, which collectively hold its backup data. In return,
        it holds a part of each partner's backup data. By adding redundancy and
        distributing the backup data across many partners, a highly-reliable backup can
        be obtained in spite of the low reliability of the average Internet machine.
        Because our scheme requires cooperation, it is potentially vulnerable to several
        novel attacks involving free riding (e.g., holding a partner's data is costly,
        which tempts cheating) or disruption. We defend against these attacks using a
        number of new methods, including the use of periodic random challenges to ensure
        partners continue to hold data and the use of disk-space wasting to make cheating
        unprofitable. Results from an initial prototype show that our technique is
        feasible and very inexpensive: it appears to be one to two orders of magnitude
        cheaper than existing Internet backup services},

        capacities. In spite of this, optimizing storage usage can still provide rich
        dividends. Several techniques based on delta-encoding and duplicate block
        suppression have been shown to reduce storage overheads, with varying
        requirements for resources such as computation and memory. We propose a new
        scheme for storage reduction that reduces data sizes with an effectiveness
        comparable to the more expensive techniques, but at a cost comparable to the
        faster but less effective ones. The scheme, called Redundancy Elimination at the
        Block Level (REBL), leverages the benefits of compression, duplicate block
        suppression, and delta-encoding to eliminate a broad spectrum of redundant data
        in a scalable and efficient manner. REBL generally encodes more compactly than
        compression (up to a factor of 14) and a combination of compression and duplicate
        suppression (up to a factor of 6.7). REBL also encodes similarly to a technique
        based on delta-encoding, reducing overall space significantly in one case.
        Furthermore, REBL uses super-fingerprints, a technique that reduces the data
        needed to identify similar blocks while dramatically reducing the computational
        requirements of matching the blocks: it turns O(n2) comparisons into hash table
        lookups. As a result, using super-fingerprints to avoid enumerating matching data
        objects decreases computation in the resemblance detection phase of REBL by up to
        a couple orders of magnitude},

        DBI frameworks has been on performance; little attention has been paid to their
        capabilities. As a result, we believe the potential of DBI has not been fully
        exploited. In this paper we describe Valgrind, a DBI framework designed for
        building heavyweight DBA tools. We focus on its unique support for shadow
        values-a powerful but previously little-studied and difficult-to-implement DBA
        technique, which requires a tool to shadow every register and memory value with
        another value that describes it. This support accounts for several crucial design
        features that distinguish Valgrind from other DBI frameworks. Because of these
        features, lightweight tools built with Valgrind run comparatively slowly, but
        Valgrind can be used to build more interesting, heavyweight tools that are
        difficult or impossible to build with other DBI frameworks such as Pin and
        DynamoRIO},

        exchange reachability information to destinations using the Border Gateway
        Protocol (BGP). Network operators in each AS configure BGP routers to control the
        routes that are learned, selected, and announced to other routers. Faults in BGP
        configuration can cause forwarding loops, packet loss, and unintended paths
        between hosts, each of which constitutes a failure of the Internet routing
        infrastructure. This paper describes the design and implementation of rcc, the
        router configuration checker, a tool that finds faults in BGP configurations
        using static analysis. rcc detects faults by checking constraints that are based
        on a high-level correctness specification. rcc detects two broad classes of
        faults: route validity faults, where routers may learn routes that do not
        correspond to usable paths, and path visibility faults, where routers may fail to
        learn routes for paths that exist in the network. rcc enables network operators
        to test and debug configurations before deploying them in an operational network,
        improving on the status quo where most faults are detected only during operation.
        rcc has been downloaded by more than sixty-five network operators to date, some
        of whom have shared their configurations with us. We analyze network-wide
        configurations from 17 different ASes to detect a wide variety of faults and use
        these findings to motivate improvements to the Internet routing infrastructure},

        without using certificates from trusted certification authorities. The
        relationship between verifier and subject guides the choice of method. Many of
        these relationships have easy, straight-forward methods for binding a public key
        to an identity, using a broadcast channel or 1:1 meetings, but one relationship
        makes it especially difficult. That relationship is one with an old friend with
        whom you had lost touch but who appears now to be available on the net. You make
        contact and share a few exchanges which suggest to you that this is, indeed, your
        old friend. Then you want to form a secure channel in order to carry on a more
        extensive conversation in private. This case is subject to the man-in-themiddle
        attack. For this case, a protocol is presented which binds a pair of identities
        to a pair of public keys without using any certificates issued by a trusted CA.

        fair in the sense that the extend to which a participant acts as a server should
        depend on the extend to which it has the opportunity to act as a client. This is
        particularly crucial in selective information dissemination schemes where clients
        are not all interested in the same information. In this position paper, we

  abstract = {The Internet's routing system is facing stresses due to its poor fundamental
        scaling properties. Compact routing is a research field that studies fundamental
        limits of routing scalability and designs algorithms that try to meet these
        limits. In particular, compact routing research shows that shortest-path routing,
        forming a core of traditional routing algorithms, cannot guarantee routing table
        (RT) sizes that on all network topologies grow slower than linearly as functions
        of the network size. However, there are plenty of compact routing schemes that
        relax the shortest-path requirement and allow for improved, sublinear RT size
        scaling that is mathematically provable for all static network topologies. In
        particular, there exist compact routing schemes designed for grids, trees, and
        Internet-like topologies that offer RT sizes that scale logarithmically with the
        network size. In this paper, we demonstrate that in view of recent results in
        compact routing research, such logarithmic scaling on Internet-like topologies is
        fundamentally impossible in the presence of topology dynamics or
        topology-independent (flat) addressing. We use analytic arguments to show that
        the number of routing control messages per topology change cannot scale better
        than linearly on Internet-like topologies. We also employ simulations to confirm
        that logarithmic RT size scaling gets broken by topology-independent addressing,
        a cornerstone of popular locator-identifier split proposals aiming at improving
        routing scaling in the presence of network topology dynamics or host mobility.
        These pessimistic findings lead us to the conclusion that a fundamental
        re-examination of assumptions behind routing models and abstractions is needed in
        order to find a routing architecture that would be able to scale "indefinitely},

  abstract = {In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), nodes depend upon each other for routing
        and forwarding packets. However, nodes belonging to independent authorities in
        MANETs may behave selfishly and may not forward packets to save battery and other
        resources. To stimulate cooperation, nodes are rewarded for their forwarding
        service. Since nodes spend different cost to forward packets, it is desirable to
        reimburse nodes according to their cost so that nodes get incentive while the
        least total payment is charged to the sender. However, to maximize their utility,
        nodes may tell lie about their cost. This poses the requirement of truthful
        protocols, which maximizes the utility of nodes only when they declare their true
        cost. Anderegg and Eidenbenz recently proposed a truthful routing protocol, named
        ad hoc-VCG. This protocol incurs the route discovery overhead of O(n3), where n
        is the number of nodes in the network. This routing overhead is likely to become
        prohibitively large as the network size grows. Moreover, it leads to low network
        performance due to congestion and interference. We present a low-overhead
        truthful routing protocol for route discovery in MANETs with selfish nodes by
        applying mechanism design. The protocol, named LOTTO (Low Overhead Truthful
        rouTing prOtocol), finds a least cost path for data forwarding with a lower
        routing overhead of O(n2). We conduct an extensive simulation study to evaluate
        the performance of our protocol and compare it with ad hoc-VCG. Simulation
        results show that our protocol provides a much higher packet delivery ratio,

        applications that allow users to collaborate and interact with each other over
        the Internet for work, education and training, or entertainment purposes.
        Multiplayer games, distance learning applications, collaborative whiteboards,
        immersive educational and training simulations, and distributed interactive
        simulations are examples of these applications. Of these RIM applications,
        multiplayer games are an important class for research due to their widespread
        deployment and popularity on the Internet. Research with multiplayer games will
        have a direct impact on all RIM applications. While large-scale multiplayer games
        have typically used a client/server architecture for network communication, we
        propose using a peer-to-peer architecture to solve the scalability problems
        inherent in centralized systems. Past research and actual deployments of
        peer-to-peer networks show that they can scale to millions of users. However,
        these prior peer-to-peer networks do not meet the low latency and interactive
        requirements that multi-player games need. Indeed, the fundamental problem of
        maintaining consistency between all nodes in the face of failures, delays, and
        malicious attacks has to be solved to make a peer-to-peer networks a viable
        solution. We propose solving the consistency problem through secure and scalable
        event ordering. While traditional event ordering requires all-to-all message
        passing and at least two rounds of communication, we argue that multiplayer games
        lend themselves naturally to a hierarchical decomposition of their state space so
        that we can reduce the communication cost of event ordering. We also argue that
        by using cryptography, a discrete view of time, and majority voting, we can
        totally order events in a real-time setting. By applying these two concepts, we
        can scale multiplayer games to millions of players. We develop our solution in
        two parts: a cheat-proof and real-time event ordering protocol and a scalable,
        hierarchical structure that organizes peers in a tree according to their scope of
        interest in the game. Our work represents the first, complete solution to this
        problem and we show through both proofs and simulations that our protocols allow
        the creation of large-scale, peer-to-peer games that are resistant to cheating
        while maintaining real-time responsiveness in the system},

        especially suited for networks that do not have a well-crafted structure, e.g. ad
        hoc and mesh networks. SSR works on a flat identifier space. As a consequence, it
        can easily support host mobility without requiring any location directory or
        other centralized service. SSR is based on a virtual ring structure, which is
        used in a chord-like manner to obtain source routes to previously unknown
        destinations. It has been shown that SSR requires very little per node state and
        produces very little control messages. In particular, SSR has been found to
        outperform other ad hoc routing protocols such as ad hoc on-demand distance
        vector routing, optimized link-state routing, or beacon vector routing. In this
        paper we present Linyphi, an implementation of SSR for wireless access routers.
        Linyphi combines IPv6 and SSR so that unmodified IPv6 hosts have transparent
        connectivity to both the Linyphi mesh network and the IPv4-v6 Internet. We give a
        basic outline of the implementation and demonstrate its suitability in real-world

        nature, since software packages and configuration data (e.g., /bin and /etc in
        Unix) can be seen as imperative data structures: they are updated in-place by
        system administration actions. In this paper we present an alternative approach
        to system configuration management: a purely functional method, analogous to
        languages like Haskell. In this approach, the static parts of a configuration --
        software packages, configuration files, control scripts -- are built from pure
        functions, i.e., the results depend solely on the specified inputs of the
        function and are immutable. As a result, realising a system configuration becomes
        deterministic and reproducible. Upgrading to a new configuration is mostly atomic
        and doesn't overwrite anything of the old configuration, thus enabling rollbacks.

        There are many real networks that follow this model, for example, wildlife
        tracking sensor networks, military networks, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs),
        etc. In this context, conventional routing schemes would fail, because they try
        to establish complete end-to-end paths, before any data is sent. To deal with
        such networks researchers have suggested to use flooding-based routing schemes.
        While flooding-based schemes have a high probability of delivery, they waste a
        lot of energy and suffer from severe contention which can significantly degrade
        their performance. With this in mind, we look into a number of "single-copy"
        routing schemes that use only one copy per message, and hence significantly
        reduce the resource requirements of flooding-based algorithms. We perform a
        detailed exploration of the single-copy routing space in order to identify
        efficient single-copy solutions that (i) can be employed when low resource usage
        is critical, and (ii) can help improve the design of general routing schemes that
        use multiple copies. We also propose a theoretical framework that we use to
        analyze the performance of all single-copy schemes presented, and to derive upper
        and lower bounds on the delay of any scheme},

  abstract = {In recent years, peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing systems have evolved to
        accommodate growing numbers of participating peers. In particular, new features
        have changed the properties of the unstructured overlay topologies formed by
        these peers. Little is known about the characteristics of these topologies and
        their dynamics in modern file-sharing applications, despite their importance.
        This paper presents a detailed characterization of P2P overlay topologies and
        their dynamics, focusing on the modern Gnutella network. We present Cruiser, a
        fast and accurate P2P crawler, which can capture a complete snapshot of the
        Gnutella network of more than one million peers in just a few minutes, and show
        how inaccuracy in snapshots can lead to erroneous conclusions--such as a
        power-law degree distribution. Leveraging recent overlay snapshots captured with
        Cruiser, we characterize the graph-related properties of individual overlay
        snapshots and overlay dynamics across slices of back-to-back snapshots. Our
        results reveal that while the Gnutella network has dramatically grown and changed
        in many ways, it still exhibits the clustering and short path lengths of a small
        world network. Furthermore, its overlay topology is highly resilient to random
        peer departure and even systematic attacks. More interestingly, overlay dynamics
        lead to an "onion-like" biased connectivity among peers where each peer is more
        likely connected to peers with higher uptime. Therefore, long-lived peers form a
        stable core that ensures reachability among peers despite overlay dynamics},

  abstract = {Much recent work on Byzantine state machine replication focuses on protocols
        with improved performance under benign conditions (LANs, homogeneous replicas,
        limited crash faults), with relatively little evaluation under typical, practical
        conditions (WAN delays, packet loss, transient disconnection, shared resources).
        This makes it difficult for system designers to choose the appropriate protocol
        for a real target deployment. Moreover, most protocol implementations differ in
        their choice of runtime environment, crypto library, and transport, hindering
        direct protocol comparisons even under similar conditions. We present a
        simulation environment for such protocols that combines a declarative networking
        system with a robust network simulator. Protocols can be rapidly implemented from
        pseudocode in the high-level declarative language of the former, while network
        conditions and (measured) costs of communication packages and crypto primitives
        can be plugged into the latter. We show that the resulting simulator faithfully
        predicts the performance of native protocol implementations, both as published
        and as measured in our local network. We use the simulator to compare
        representative protocols under identical conditions and rapidly explore the
        effects of changes in the costs of crypto operations, workloads, network
        conditions and faults. For example, we show that Zyzzyva outperforms protocols
        like PBFT and Q/U undermost but not all conditions, indicating that
        one-size-fits-all protocols may be hard if not impossible to design in practice},

        RASTER, that approximates shortest overlay routes between nodes in randomized
        DHTs. Unlike previously proposed routing protocols, RASTER encodes and aggregates
        routing information. Its simple bitmap-encoding scheme together with the proposed
        RASTER routing algorithm enable a performance edge over current overlay routing
        protocols. RASTER provides a forwarding overhead of merely a small constant
        number of bitwise operations, a routing performance close to optimal, and a
        better resilience to churn. RASTER also provides nodes with the flexibility to
        adjust the size of the maintained routing information based on their
        storage/processing capabilities. The cost of storing and exchanging encoded

        future, these cores will become more specialized, and their inter-connections
        will form complex networks, both on-chip and beyond. This trend opens new fields
        of applications for high performance computing: Heterogeneous architectures offer
        different functionalities and thus support a wider range of applications. The
        increased compute power of these systems allows more complex simulations and
        numerical computations. Falling costs enable even small companies to invest in
        multi-core systems and clusters. However, the growing complexity might impede

        processor cores. A software developer will need a deep knowledge about the

        her application to partition it optimally across the available cores. Moreover, a

        providing nodes with more up-to-date routing information: 1. The use of
        link-layer broadcast enables all neighbors of a node to contribute to the
        forwarding process. 2. A light-weight and fast selection mechanism avoids packet
        duplication and optimizes the source route iteratively. 3. Nodes implicitly learn
        the network's topology from overheard broadcast messages. We present simulation
        results which show the performance gain of the proposed improvements: 1. The
        delivery ratio in settings with high mobility increases. 2. The required per-node
        state can be reduced as compared with the original SSR protocol. 3. The route

        these protocols as the dissemination work is evenly spread among all nodes. Yet,
        large-scale distributed systems are usually heterogeneous with respect to network
        capabilities such as bandwidth. In practice, a blind load-balancing strategy
        might significantly hamper the performance of the gossip dissemination. This
        paper presents HEAP, HEterogeneity-Aware gossip Protocol, where nodes dynamically
        adapt their contribution to the gossip dissemination according to their bandwidth
        capabilities. Using a continuous, itself gossip-based, approximation of relative
        bandwidth capabilities, HEAP dynamically leverages the most capable nodes by
        increasing their fanout, while decreasing by the same proportion that of less
        capable nodes. HEAP preserves the simple and proactive (churn adaptation) nature
        of gossip, while significantly improving its effectiveness. We extensively
        evaluate HEAP in the context of a video streaming application on a testbed of 270
        PlanetLab nodes. Our results show that HEAP significantly improves the quality of

  abstract = {Pocket Switched Networks (PSN) [3] have become a promising approach for
        providing communication between scarcely connected human-carried devices. Such
        devices, e.g. mobile phones or sensor nodes, are exposed to human mobility and
        can therewith leverage inter-human contacts for store-and-forward routing.
        Efficiently routing in such delay tolerant networks is complex due to incomplete
        knowledge about the network, and high dynamics of the network. In this work we
        want to develop an extension of Bloom filters for resource-efficient routing in
        pocket switched networks. Furthermore, we argue that PSNs may become densely
        populated in special situations. We want to exploit such situations to perform
        collaborative calculations of forwarding-decisions. In this paper we present a
        simple scheme for distributed decision calculation using overlays and a DHT-based
        distributed variant of Bloom filters},

  publisher = {Sun Microsystems, Inc}, 
  abstract = {This paper describes how a network can continue to function in the presence
        of Byzantine failures. A Byzantine failure is one in which a node, instead of
        halting (as it would in a fail-stop failure), continues to operate, but
        incorrectly. It might lie about routing information, perform the routing
        algorithm itself flawlessly, but then fail to forward some class of packets
        correctly, or flood the network with garbage traffic. Our goal is to design a
        network so that as long as one nonfaulty path connects nonfaulty nodes A and B,
        they will be able to communicate, with some fair share of bandwidth, even if all
        the other components in the network are maximally malicious. We review work from
        1988 that presented a network design that had that property, but required the
        network to be small enough so that every router could keep state proportional to
        n2, where n is the total number of nodes in the network. This would work for a
        network of size on the order of a thousand nodes, but to build a large network,
        we need to introduce hierarchy. This paper presents a new design, building on the
        original work, that works with hierarchical networks. This design not only
        defends against malicious routers, but because it guarantees fair allocation of
        resources, can mitigate against many other types of denial of service attacks},

        collaboration projects, such as SourceForge, grid systems etc., have emerged. One
        of the fundamental requirements of these collaboration efforts is a storage
        system to store and exchange data. This storage system must be highly scalable
        and can efficiently aggregate the storage resources contributed by the
        participating organizations to deliver good performance for users. In this paper,
        we propose a storage system, Collaborative File Repository (CFR), for large scale
        collaboration projects. CFR uses peer-to-peer techniques to achieve scalability,
        efficiency, and ease of management. In CFR, storage nodes contributed by the
        participating organizations are partitioned according to geographical regions.
        Files stored in CFR are automatically replicated to all regions. Furthermore,
        popular files are duplicated to other storage nodes of the same region. By doing
        so, data transfers between users and storage nodes are confined within their
        regions and transfer efficiency is enhanced. Experiments show that our
        replication can achieve high efficiency with a small number of duplicates},

        confidentiality is highly challenging in a content-based publish/subscribe
        system. Authentication of publishers and subscribers is difficult to achieve due
        to the loose coupling of publishers and subscribers. Similarly, confidentiality
        of events and subscriptions conflicts with content-based routing. In particular,
        content-based approaches in broker-less environments do not address
        confidentiality at all. This paper presents a novel approach to provide
        confidentiality and authentication in a broker-less content-based
        publish-subscribe system. The authentication of publishers and subscribers as
        well as confidentiality of events is ensured, by adapting the pairing-based
        cryptography mechanisms, to the needs of a publish/subscribe system. Furthermore,
        an algorithm to cluster subscribers according to their subscriptions preserves a
        weak notion of subscription confidentiality. Our approach provides fine grained
        key management and the cost for encryption, decryption and routing is in the
        order of subscribed attributes. Moreover, the simulation results verify that
        supporting security is affordable with respect to the cost for overlay

        probabilities is described. Both the equipment complexity and the data-handling
        capacity in bits per second of this decoder increase approximately linearly with

        structured data, but can introduce inefficiencies in the use of space when fields
        of uniform size are used to contain pointers to data and to link the structure.
        Empirically determined regularity can be exploited to provide more
        space-efficient encodings without losing the flexibility inherent in list
        structures. The basic scheme is to provide compact pointer fields big enough to
        accommodate most values that occur in them and to provide
        {\textquotedblleft}escape{\textquotedblright} mechanisms for exceptional cases.
        Several examples of encoding designs are presented and evaluated, including two
        designs currently used in Lisp machines. Alternative escape mechanisms are
        described, and various questions of cost and implementation are discussed. In
        order to extrapolate our results to larger systems than those measured, we
        propose a model for the generation of list pointers and we test the model against
        data from two programs. We show that according to our model, list structures with
        compact cdr fields will, as address space grows, continue to be compacted well
        with a fixed-width small field. Our conclusion is that with a microcodable
        processor, about a factor of two gain in space efficiency for list structure can
        be had for little or no cost in processing time},

        to produce quality products, to study, to invest, and to save. Although Adam
        Smith amply confirmed this more than two hundred years ago in his analysis of
        sharecropping contracts, only in recent decades has a theory begun to emerge to
        place the topic at the heart of economic thinking. In this book, Jean-Jacques
        Laffont and David Martimort present the most thorough yet accessible introduction
        to incentives theory to date. Central to this theory is a simple question as
        pivotal to modern-day management as it is to economics research: What makes
        people act in a particular way in an economic or business situation? In seeking
        an answer, the authors provide the methodological tools to design institutions
        that can ensure good incentives for economic agents. This book focuses on the
        principal-agent model, the "simple" situation where a principal, or company,
        delegates a task to a single agent through a contract--the essence of management
        and contract theory. How does the owner or manager of a firm align the objectives

        centuries, the authors devote the bulk of their work to exploring principal-agent
        models and various extensions thereof in light of three types of information
        problems: adverse selection, moral hazard, and non-verifiability. Offering an
        unprecedented look at a subject vital to industrial organization, labor
        economics, and behavioral economics, this book is set to become the definitive

        Especially the recently proposed models for so-called small-world networks
        receive much attention from the networking community. This paper proposes the use
        of two more mathematical concepts for the analysis of network topologies,
        dimension and curvature. These concepts can intuitively be applied to, e.g.,
        sensor-networks. But they can also be sensibly dened for certain other
        random-graph models. The latter is non-trivial since such models may describe
        purely virtual networks that do not inherit properties from an underlying

  abstract = {A scalable feedback mechanism to solicit feedback from a potentially very
        large group of networked nodes is an important building block for many network
        protocols. Multicast transport protocols use it for negative acknowledgements and
        for delay and packet loss determination. Grid computing and peer-to-peer
        applications can use similar approaches to find nodes that are, at a given moment
        in time, best suited to serve a request. In sensor networks, such mechanisms
        allow to report extreme values in a resource efficient way. In this paper we
        analyze several extensions to the exponential feedback algorithm [5,6] that
        provide an optimal way to collect extreme values from a potentially very large
        group of networked nodes. In contrast to prior work, we focus on how knowledge
        about the value distribution in the group can be used to optimize the feedback
        process. We describe the trade-offs that have to be decided upon when using these
        extensions and provide additional insight into their performance by means of

        mOverlay, for constructing an overlay network that takes account of the locality
        of network hosts. The constructed overlay network can significantly decrease the
        communication cost between end hosts by ensuring that a message reaches its
        destination with small overhead and very efficient forwarding. To construct the
        locality-aware overlay network, dynamic landmark technology is introduced. We
        present an effective locating algorithm for a new host joining the overlay
        network. We then present a theoretical analysis and simulation results to
        evaluate the network performance. Our analysis shows that the overhead of our
        locating algorithm is O(logN), where N is the number of overlay network hosts.
        Our simulation results show that the average distance between a pair of hosts in
        the constructed overlay network is only about 11\% of the one in a traditional,
        randomly connected overlay network. Network design guidelines are also provided.
        Many large-scale network applications, such as media streaming, application-level
        multicasting, and media distribution, can leverage mOverlay to enhance their
        performance},

        and a general profile are learned from the user's search history and a category

        a set of categories which represent the user's search intention and serve as a
        context to disambiguate the words in the user's query. Web search is conducted
        based on both the user query and the set of categories. Several profile learning

        what users said was contrasted with what they did in an experimental e-commerce
        scenario. Eleven independent variables were shown to affect the online behavior
        of at least some groups of users. Most significant were trust marks present on
        web pages and the existence of a privacy policy, though users seldom consulted

        perceptions of their own knowledge about privacy technology and vulnerabilities,

        fundamentalists", do not appear to form a cohesive group for privacy-related

        paradigm, a method for examining user behavior which challenges the current

        if the identities ω and ω are close to each other as measured by the

        scheme can be applied to enable encryption using biometric inputs as identities;
        the error-tolerance property of a Fuzzy IBE scheme is precisely what allows for
        the use of biometric identities, which inherently will have some noise each time
        they are sampled. Additionally, we show that Fuzzy-IBE can be used for a type of

        Fuzzy IBE schemes. Our constructions can be viewed as an Identity-Based
        Encryption of a message under several attributes that compose a (fuzzy) identity.
        Our IBE schemes are both error-tolerant and secure against collusion attacks.

  abstract = {A crucial aspect of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems is that of providing
        incentives for users to contribute their resources to the system. Without such
        incentives, empirical data show that a majority of the participants act asfree
        riders. As a result, a substantial amount of resource goes untapped, and,
        frequently, P2P systems devolve into client-server systems with attendant issues
        of performance under high load. We propose to address the free rider problem by
        introducing the notion of a P2P contract. In it, peers are made aware of the
        benefits they receive from the system as a function of their contributions. In
        this paper, we first describe a utility-based framework to determine the
        components of the contract and formulate the associated resource allocation
        problem. We consider the resource allocation problem for a flash crowd scenario
        and show how the contract mechanism implemented using a centralized server can be
        used to quickly create pseudoservers that can serve out the requests. We then
        study a decentralized implementation of the P2P contract scheme in which each
        node implements the contract based on local demand. We show that in such a
        system, other than contributing storage and bandwidth to serve out requests, it
        is also important that peer nodes function as application-level routers to
        connect pools of available pseudoservers. We study the performance of the
        distributed implementation with respect to the various parameters including the
        terms of the contract and the triggers to create pseudoservers and routers},

        statistical databases described in recent papers [14, 4, 13]. In these databases,
        privacy is obtained by perturbing the true answer to a database query by the
        addition of a small amount of Gaussian or exponentially distributed random noise.
        The computational power of even a simple form of these databases, when the query
        is just of the form sum over all rows 'i' in the database of a function  f
         applied to the data in row i, has been demonstrated in [4]. A distributed
        implementation eliminates the need for a trusted database administrator. The
        results for noise generation are of independent interest. The generation of
        Gaussian noise introduces a technique for distributing shares of many unbiased
        coins with fewer executions of verifiable secret sharing than would be needed
        using previous approaches (reduced by a factor of n). The generation of
        exponentially distributed noise uses two shallow circuits: one for generating
        many arbitrarily but identically biased coins at an amortized cost of two
        unbiased random bits apiece, independent of the bias, and the other to combine
        bits of appropriate biases to obtain an exponential distribution},

  abstract = {Data mining is frequently obstructed by privacy concerns. In many cases data
        is distributed, and bringing the data together in one place for analysis is not
        possible due to privacy laws (e.g. HIPAA) or policies. Privacy preserving data
        mining techniques have been developed to address this issue by providing
        mechanisms to mine the data while giving certain privacy guarantees. In this work
        we address the issue of privacy preserving nearest neighbor search, which forms
        the kernel of many data mining applications. To this end, we present a novel
        algorithm based on secure multiparty computation primitives to compute the
        nearest neighbors of records in horizontally distributed data. We show how this
        algorithm can be used in three important data mining algorithms, namely LOF
        outlier detection, SNN clustering, and kNN classification},

        proposed in the literature. With only one exception so far (1), all these
        protocols are proactive, thus wasting bandwidth when their function is not
        currently needed. To reduce the signalling traffic load, reactive clustering may
        be employed.We have developed a clustering protocol named
        {\textquotedblleft}On-Demand Group Mobility-Based Clustering{\textquotedblright}
        (ODGMBC) (2), (3) which is reactive. Its goal is to build clusters as a basis for
        address autoconfiguration and hierarchical routing. In contrast to the protocol
        described in ref. (1), the design process especially addresses the notions of
        group mobility and of multi-hop clusters in a MANET. As a result, ODGMBC maps
        varying physical node groups onto logical clusters. In this paper, ODGMBC is
        described. It was implemented for the ad hoc network simulator GloMoSim (4) and
        evaluated using several performance indicators. Simulation results are promising
        and show that ODGMBC leads to stable clusters. This stability is advantageous for
        autoconfiguration and routing mechansims to be employed in conjunction with the

  abstract = {Routing in wireless networks is inherently difficult since their network
        topologies are typically unstructured and unstable. Therefore, many routing
        protocols for ad-hoc networks and sensor networks revert to flooding to acquire
        routes to previously unknown destinations. However, such an approach does not
        scale to large networks, especially when nodes need to communicate with many
        different destinations. This paper advocates a novel approach, the scalable
        source routing (SSR) protocol. It combines overlay-like routing in a virtual
        network structure with source routing in the physical network structure. As a
        consequence, SSR can efficiently provide the routing semantics of a structured
        routing overlay, making it an efficient basis for the scalable implementation of
        fully decentralized applications. In T. Fuhrmann (2005) it has been demonstrated
        that SSR can almost entirely avoid flooding, thus leading to a both memory and
        message efficient routing mechanism for large unstructured networks. This paper
        extends SSR to unstable networks, i. e. networks with churn where nodes
        frequently join and leave, the latter potentially ungracefully},

        addresses each of these challenges. After describing and analyzing various CA

        Possible strategies for solving the computationally intractable problem of how to
        compute the objective-maximizing allocation (known as the winner determination
        problem) are considered, as are questions of how to test alternative algorithms.

        takeoff and landing slots, procurement of freight transportation services, the
        London bus routes market, and industrial procurement. This unique collection
        makes recent work in CAs available to a broad audience of researchers and

        their performance. Various P2P applications like distributed storage and

        P2P systems build a functional layer implementing, for example lookup,

        which economic activity is guided and coordinated. There are many such

        officers of private companies create institutions in order to achieve desired
        goals. They seek to do so in ways that economize on the resources needed to
        operate the institutions, and that provide incentives that induce the required

        achieve specified performance, and economize on the resources required to operate
        the mechanism. The systematic design procedures are algorithms for designing

  abstract = {This dissertation presents algorithms for data structures called distributed
        hash tables (DHT) or structured overlay networks, which are used to build
        scalable self-managing distributed systems. The provided algorithms guarantee
        lookup consistency in the presence of dynamism: they guarantee consistent lookup
        results in the presence of nodes joining and leaving. Similarly, the algorithms
        guarantee that routing never fails while nodes join and leave. Previous
        algorithms for lookup consistency either suffer from starvation, do not work in
        the presence of failures, or lack proof of correctness. Several group
        communication algorithms for structured overlay networks are presented. We
        provide an overlay broadcast algorithm, which unlike previous algorithms avoids
        redundant messages, reaching all nodes in O(log n) time, while using O(n)
        messages, where n is the number of nodes in the system. The broadcast algorithm
        is used to build overlay multicast. We introduce bulk operation, which enables a
        node to efficiently make multiple lookups or send a message to all nodes in a
        specified set of identifiers. The algorithm ensures that all specified nodes are
        reached in O(log n) time, sending maximum O(log n) messages per node, regardless
        of the input size of the bulk operation. Moreover, the algorithm avoids sending
        redundant messages. Previous approaches required multiple lookups, which consume
        more messages and can render the initiator a bottleneck. Our algorithms are used
        in DHT-based storage systems, where nodes can do thousands of lookups to fetch
        large files. We use the bulk operation algorithm to construct a pseudo-reliable
        broadcast algorithm. Bulk operations can also be used to implement efficient
        range queries. Finally, we describe a novel way to place replicas in a DHT,
        called symmetric replication, that enables parallel recursive lookups. Parallel
        lookups are known to reduce latencies. However, costly iterative lookups have
        previously been used to do parallel lookups. Moreover, joins or leaves only
        require exchanging O(1) messages, while other schemes require at least log(f)
        messages for a replication degree of f. The algorithms have been implemented in a
        middleware called the Distributed k-ary System (DKS), which is briefly

        However, very few DHTs have been implemented in real systems and deployed on a
        large scale. One exception is KAD, a DHT based on Kademlia, which is part of
        eDonkey2000, a peer-to-peer file sharing system with several million simultaneous
        users. We have been crawling KAD continuously for about six months and obtained
        information about geographical distribution of peers, session times, peer
        availability, and peer lifetime. We also evaluated to what extent information
        about past peer uptime can be used to predict the remaining uptime of the peer.
        Peers are identified by the so called KAD ID, which was up to now as- sumed to
        remain the same across sessions. However, we observed that this is not the case:
        There is a large number of peers, in particular in China, that change their KAD
        ID, sometimes as frequently as after each session. This change of KAD IDs makes
        it difficult to characterize end-user availability or membership turnover. By

        Secure integer comparison is an important building block for applications such as
        secure auctions. In this paper, our focus is on the two-party case, although most

  abstract = {Distributed file systems have been a topic of interest for a long time and
        there are many file systems that are distributed in one way or another. However
        most distributed file systems are only reasonably usable within a local network
        of computers and some main tasks are still delegated to a very small number of
        servers. Today with the advent of Peer-to-Peer technology, distributed file
        systems that work on top of Peer-to-Peer systems can be built. These systems can
        be built with no or much less centralised components and are usable on a global
        scale. The System Architecture Group at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany
        has developedsuch a file system, which is built on top of a structured overlay
        network and uses Distributed Hash Tables to store and access the information. One
        problem with this approach is, that each file system can only be accessed with
        the help of an identifier, which changes whenever a file system is modified. All
        clients have to be notified of the new identifier in a secure, fast and reliable
        way. Usually the strategy to solve this type of problem is an encrypted
        multicast. This thesis presents and analyses several strategies of using
        multicast distributions to solve this problem and then unveils our final solution

        computing the common roots of the polynomials. By sharing the coefficients of the

        As long as more than 2n/3 parties are semi-honest, our protocol
        correctly computes the intersection of nsets, and reveals no other
        information than what is implied by the intersection and the secrets sets
        controlled by the active adversary. This is the first specific protocol for

        generic framework to implement a peer-sampling service in a decentralized manner
        by constructing and maintaining dynamic unstructured overlays through gossiping
        membership information itself. Our framework generalizes existing approaches and
        makes it easy to discover new ones. We use this framework to empirically explore
        and compare several implementations of the peer sampling service. Through
        extensive simulation experiments we show that---although all protocols provide a
        good quality uniform random stream of peers to each node locally---traditional
        theoretical assumptions about the randomness of the unstructured overlays as a

        very powerful tool because it enables bit-oriented operations even if shared
        secrets are given as elements in the field. However, the bit-decomposition
        protocol is relatively expensive. In this paper, we present a simplified

        construct more efficient protocols for a comparison, interval test and equality
        test of shared secrets without relying on the bit-decomposition protocol though
        it seems essential to such bit-oriented operations. The key idea is that we do
        computation on secret a with c and r where c = a + r, c is a revealed value, and
        r is a random bitwise-shared secret. The outputs of these protocols are also
        shared without being revealed. The realized protocols as well as the original

        the most-played multiplayer Internet-games, according to GameSpy [1]. Besides

        it. However, few empirical studies about the cost of privacy are conducted. In
        the area of secure multiparty computation, the scalar product has long been
        reckoned as one of the most promising building blocks in place of the classic
        logic gates. The reason is not only the scalar product complete, which is as good
        as logic gates, but also the scalar product is much more efficient than logic
        gates. As a result, we set to study the computation and communication resources
        needed for some of the most well-known and frequently referred secure
        scalar-product protocols, including the composite-residuosity, the
        invertible-matrix, the polynomial-sharing, and the commodity-based approaches.
        Besides the implementation remarks of these approaches, we analyze and compare
        their execution time, computation time, and random number consumption, which are
        the most concerned resources when talking about secure protocols. Moreover,
        Fairplay the benchmark approach implementing Yao's famous circuit evaluation

  abstract = {Next generation networks will combine many heterogeneous access technologies
        to provide services to a large number of highly mobile users while meeting their
        demands for quality of service, robustness, and security. Obviously, this is not
        a trivial task and many protocols fulfilling some combination of these
        requirements have been proposed. However, non of the current proposals meets all
        requirements, and the deployment of new applications and services is hindered by
        a patchwork of protocols. This paper presents Spontaneous Virtual Networks
        (SpoVNet), an architecture that fosters the creation of new applications and
        services for next generation networks by providing an underlay abstraction layer.
        This layer applies an overlay-based approach to cope with mobility, multi-homing,
        and heterogeneity. For coping with network mobility, it uses a SpoVNet-specific
        addressing scheme, splitting node identifiers from network locators and providing
        persistent connections by transparently switching locators. To deal with
        multihoming it transparently chooses the most appropriate pair of network
        locators for each connection. To cope with network and protocol heterogeneity, it
        uses dedicated overlay nodes, e.g., for relaying between IPv4 and IPv6 hosts},

        generalizes many of the computations researchers apply to large real-life data
        sets. We ask: what concept classes can be learned privately, namely, by an
        algorithm whose output does not depend too heavily on any one input or specific
        training example? More precisely, we investigate learning algorithms that satisfy
        differential privacy, a notion that provides strong confidentiality guarantees in
        contexts where aggregate information is released about a database containing
        sensitive information about individuals. We demonstrate that, ignoring
        computational constraints, it is possible to privately agnostically learn any
        concept class using a sample size approximately logarithmic in the cardinality of
        the concept class. Therefore, almost anything learnable is learnable privately:
        specifically, if a concept class is learnable by a (non-private) algorithm with
        polynomial sample complexity and output size, then it can be learned privately
        using a polynomial number of samples. We also present a computationally efficient
        private PAC learner for the class of parity functions. Local (or randomized
        response) algorithms are a practical class of private algorithms that have
        received extensive investigation. We provide a precise characterization of local
        private learning algorithms. We show that a concept class is learnable by a local
        algorithm if and only if it is learnable in the statistical query (SQ) model.
        Finally, we present a separation between the power of interactive and
        noninteractive local learning algorithms},

        These issues are most evident when solving large distributed constraint
        satisfaction problems, hence the title of the thesis. We will first survey
        existing algorithms for centralised constraint satisfaction, and describe how
        they have been modified to handle distributed constraint satisfaction. The method
        by which each algorithm achieves completeness will be investigated and analysed
        by application of a new theorem. We will then present a new algorithm,
        Support-Based Distributed Search, developed explicitly for distributed constraint
        satisfaction rather than being derived from centralised algorithms. This
        algorithm is inspired by the inherent structure of human arguments and similar
        mechanisms we observe in real-world negotiations. A number of modifications to
        this new algorithm are considered, and comparisons are made with existing
        algorithms, effectively demonstrating its place within the field. Empirical
        analysis is then conducted, and comparisons are made to state-of-the-art
        algorithms most able to handle large distributed constraint satisfaction
        problems. Finally, it is argued that any future development in distributed
        constraint satisfaction will necessitate changes in the algorithms used to solve
        small {\textquoteleft}embedded' constraint satisfaction problems. The impact on
        embedded constraint satisfaction problems is considered, with a brief

        issue. First it requires communication abstractions that allow for interoperation
        with Internet applications and second the offered solution should be sensitive to
        the available resources in the underlying network. Loosely coupled communication
        abstractions, like publish/subscribe, promote interoperability, but unfortunately
        are typically implemented at the application layer without considering the

        applications such as data mining, data integration, trust computing, etc. In
        2007, Yao et al. proposed a distributed scalar product protocol with application
        to privacy-preserving computation of trust [1]. This protocol is split in two
        phases: an homorphic encryption computation; and a private multi-party summation
        protocol. The summation protocol has two drawbacks: first, it generates a
        non-negligible communication overhead; and second, it introduces a security flaw.
        The contribution of this present paper is two-fold. We first prove that the
        protocol of [1] is not secure in the semi-honest model by showing that it is not
        resistant to collusion attacks and we give an example of a collusion attack, with
        only four participants. Second, we propose to use a superposed sending round as
        an alternative to the multi-party summation protocol, which results in better
        security properties and in a reduction of the communication costs. In particular,
        regarding security, we show that the previous scheme was vulnerable to collusions
        of three users whereas in our proposal we can t isin [1..n--1] and define a
        protocol resisting to collusions of up to t users},

        well as completely new network types and protocols paint a picture of a future
        Internet that consists of extremely heterogeneous edge networks (e.g. IPv4, IPv6,
        industrial Ethernet, sensor networks) that are not supposed or able to
        communicate directly. This increasing heterogeneity imposes severe challenges for
        overlay networks, which are considered as a potential migration strategy towards
        the future Internet since they can add new functionality and services in a
        distributed and self-organizing manner. Unfortunately, overlays are based on
        end-to-end connectivity and, thus, their deployment is hindered by network
        heterogeneity. In this paper, we take steps towards a solution to enable overlay
        connections in such heterogeneous networks, building upon a model of
        heterogeneous networks that comprises several connectivity domains with direct
        connectivity, interconnected by relays. As major contribution, we present a
        distributed protocol that detects the boundaries of connectivity domains as well
        as relays using a gossiping approach. Furthermore, the protocol manages unique
        identifiers of connectivity domains and efficiently handles domain splitting and
        merging due to underlay changes. Simulation studies indicate that the algorithm
        can handle splitting and merging of connectivity domains in reasonable time and
        is scalable with respect to control overhead},

        actions. Content distribution systems that assign servers at the application
        level can respond very rapidly to changes in the routing of the network.
        Consequently, the traffic engineer's decisions may almost never be applied to the
        intended traffic. We use a game-theoretic framework in which infinitesimal users
        of a network select the source of content, and the traffic engineer decides how
        the traffic will route through the network. We formulate a game and prove the
        existence of equilibria. Additionally, we present a setting in which equilibria
        are socially optimal, essentially unique, and stable. Conditions under which
        efficiency loss may be bounded are presented, and the results are extended to the

        behavior while simultaneously providing guarantees of privacy for these users.
        Specifically, we consider the Netflix Prize data set, and its leading algorithms,
        adapted to the framework of differential privacy. Unlike prior privacy work
        concerned with cryptographically securing the computation of recommendations,
        differential privacy constrains a computation in a way that precludes any
        inference about the underlying records from its output. Such algorithms
        necessarily introduce uncertainty--i.e., noise--to computations, trading accuracy
        for privacy. We find that several of the leading approaches in the Netflix Prize
        competition can be adapted to provide differential privacy, without significantly
        degrading their accuracy. To adapt these algorithms, we explicitly factor them
        into two parts, an aggregation/learning phase that can be performed with
        differential privacy guarantees, and an individual recommendation phase that uses
        the learned correlations and an individual's data to provide personalized
        recommendations. The adaptations are non-trivial, and involve both careful
        analysis of the per-record sensitivity of the algorithms to calibrate noise, as
        well as new post-processing steps to mitigate the impact of this noise. We
        measure the empirical trade-off between accuracy and privacy in these
        adaptations, and find that we can provide non-trivial formal privacy guarantees

  abstract = {Modern board games present a new and challenging field when researching
        search techniques in the field of Artificial Intelligence. These games differ to
        classic board games, such as chess, in that they can be non-deterministic, have
        imperfect information or more than two players. While tree-search approaches,
        such as alpha-beta pruning, have been quite successful in playing classic board
        games, by for instance defeating the then reigning world champion Gary Kasparov
        in Chess, these techniques are not as effective when applied to modern board
        games. This thesis investigates the effectiveness of Monte-Carlo Tree Search when
        applied to a modern board game, for which the board game Thurn and Taxis was
        used. This is a non-deterministic modern board game with imperfect information
        that can be played with more than 2 players, and is hence suitable for research.
        First, the state-space and game-tree complexities of this game are computed, from
        which the conclusion can be drawn that the two-player version of the game has a
        complexity similar to the game Shogi. Several techniques are investigated in
        order to improve the sampling process, for instance by adding domain knowledge.
        Given the results of the experiments, one can conclude that Monte-Carlo Tree
        Search gives a slight performance increase over standard Monte-Carlo search. In
        addition, the most effective improvements appeared to be the application of
        pseudo-random simulations and limiting simulation lengths, while other techniques
        have been shown to be less effective or even ineffective. Overall, when applying
        the best performing techniques, an AI with advanced playing strength has been
        created, such that further research is likely to push this performance to a
        strength of expert level},

  abstract = {We address one of the foundational problems in cryptography: the bias of
        coin-flipping protocols. Coin-flipping protocols allow mutually distrustful
        parties to generate a common unbiased random bit, guaranteeing that even if one
        of the parties is malicious, it cannot significantly bias the output of the
        honest party. A classical result by Cleve [STOC '86] showed that for any
        two-party r-round coin-flipping protocol there exists an efficient adversary that
        can bias the output of the honest party by Ω(1/r). However, the best previously
        known protocol only guarantees O(1/√r) bias, and the question of whether Cleve's
        bound is tight has remained open for more than twenty years. In this paper we
        establish the optimal trade-off between the round complexity and the bias of
        two-party coin-flipping protocols. Under standard assumptions (the existence of
        oblivious transfer), we show that Cleve's lower bound is tight: we construct an

  abstract = {Private matching between datasets owned by distinct parties is a challenging
        problem with several applications. Private matching allows two parties to
        identify the records that are close to each other according to some distance
        functions, such that no additional information other than the join result is
        disclosed to any party. Private matching can be solved securely and accurately
        using secure multi-party computation (SMC) techniques, but such an approach is
        prohibitively expensive in practice. Previous work proposed the release of
        sanitized versions of the sensitive datasets which allows blocking, i.e.,
        filtering out sub-sets of records that cannot be part of the join result. This
        way, SMC is applied only to a small fraction of record pairs, reducing the
        matching cost to acceptable levels. The blocking step is essential for the
        privacy, accuracy and efficiency of matching. However, the state-of-the-art
        focuses on sanitization based on k-anonymity, which does not provide sufficient
        privacy. We propose an alternative design centered on differential privacy, a
        novel paradigm that provides strong privacy guarantees. The realization of the
        new model presents difficult challenges, such as the evaluation of distance-based
        matching conditions with the help of only a statistical queries interface.
        Specialized versions of data indexing structures (e.g., kd-trees) also need to be
        devised, in order to comply with differential privacy. Experiments conducted on
        the real-world Census-income dataset show that, although our methods provide
        strong privacy, their effectiveness in reducing matching cost is not far from
        that of k-anonymity based counterparts},

        introduced application layer multicast (ALM) as completely new area of network
        research. Many researchers have since proposed ALM protocols, and have shown that
        these protocols only put a small burden on the network in terms of link-stress
        and -stretch. However, since the network is typically not a bottleneck, user
        acceptance remains the limiting factor for the deployment of ALM. In this paper
        we present an in-depth study of the user-perceived performance of the NICE ALM
        protocol. We use the OverSim simulation framework to evaluate delay experienced
        by a user and bandwidth consumption on the user's access link in large multicast
        groups and under aggressive churn models. Our major results are (1) latencies
        grow moderate with increasing number of nodes as clusters get optimized, (2) join
        delays get optimized over time, and (3) despite being a tree-dissemination
        protocol NICE handles churn surprisingly well when adjusting heartbeat intervals
        accordingly. We conclude that NICE comes up to the user's expectations even for

  abstract = {As the virtual world grows more complex, finding a standard way for storing
        data becomes increasingly important. Ideally, each data item would be brought
        into the computer system only once. References for data items need to be
        cryptographically verifiable, so the data can maintain its identity while being
        passed around. This way there will be only one copy of the users family photo
        album, while the user can use multiple tools to show or manipulate the album.
        Copies of users data could be stored on some of his family members computer, some
        of his computers, but also at some online services which he uses. When all actors
        operate over one replicated copy of the data, the system automatically avoids a
        single point of failure. Thus the data will not disappear with one computer
        breaking, or one service provider going out of business. One shared copy also
        makes it possible to delete a piece of data from all systems at once, on users
        request. In our research we tried to find a model that would make data manageable
        to users, and make it possible to have the same data stored at various locations.
        We studied three systems, Persona, Freenet, and GNUnet, that suggest different
        models for protecting user data. The main application areas of the systems
        studied include securing online social networks, providing anonymous web, and
        preventing censorship in file-sharing. Each of the systems studied store user
        data on machines belonging to third parties. The systems differ in measures they
        take to protect their users from data loss, forged information, censorship, and
        being monitored. All of the systems use cryptography to secure names used for the
        content, and to protect the data from outsiders. Based on the gained knowledge,
        we built a prototype platform called Peerscape, which stores user data in a
        synchronized, protected database. Data items themselves are protected with
        cryptography against forgery, but not encrypted as the focus has been
        disseminating the data directly among family and friends instead of letting third
        parties store the information. We turned the synchronizing database into
        peer-to-peer web by revealing its contents through an integrated http server. The
        REST-like http API supports development of applications in javascript. To
        evaluate the platform's suitability for application development we wrote some
        simple applications, including a public chat room, bittorrent site, and a flower
        growing game. During our early tests we came to the conclusion that using the
        platform for simple applications works well. As web standards develop further,
        writing applications for the platform should become easier. Any system this
        complex will have its problems, and we are not expecting our platform to replace
        the existing web, but are fairly impressed with the results and consider our work
        important from the perspective of managing user data},

Contrary to intuition, a variant of the result threatens the privacy even of someone not in the database.

  title = {Incentive-driven QoS in peer-to-peer overlays},

  abstract = {A well known problem in peer-to-peer overlays is that no single entity has
        control over the software, hardware and configuration of peers. Thus, each peer
        can selfishly adapt its behaviour to maximise its benefit from the overlay. This
        thesis is concerned with the modelling and design of incentive mechanisms for
        QoS-overlays: resource allocation protocols that provide strategic peers with
        participation incentives, while at the same time optimising the performance of
        the peer-to-peer distribution overlay. The contributions of this thesis are as
        follows. First, we present PledgeRoute, a novel contribution accounting system
        that can be used, along with a set of reciprocity policies, as an incentive
        mechanism to encourage peers to contribute resources even when users are not
        actively consuming overlay services. This mechanism uses a decentralised credit
        network, is resilient to sybil attacks, and allows peers to achieve time and
        space deferred contribution reciprocity. Then, we present a novel, QoS-aware
        resource allocation model based on Vickrey auctions that uses PledgeRoute as a
        substrate. It acts as an incentive mechanism by providing efficient overlay
        construction, while at the same time allocating increasing service quality to
        those peers that contribute more to the network. The model is then applied to
        lagsensitive chunk swarming, and some of its properties are explored for
        different peer delay distributions. When considering QoS overlays deployed over
        the best-effort Internet, the quality received by a client cannot be adjudicated
        completely to either its serving peer or the intervening network between them. By
        drawing parallels between this situation and well-known hidden action situations
        in microeconomics, we propose a novel scheme to ensure adherence to advertised
        QoS levels. We then apply it to delay-sensitive chunk distribution overlays and
        present the optimal contract payments required, along with a method for QoS
        contract enforcement through reciprocative strategies. We also present a
        probabilistic model for application-layer delay as a function of the prevailing
        network conditions. Finally, we address the incentives of managed overlays, and
        the prediction of their behaviour. We propose two novel models of multihoming
        managed overlay incentives in which overlays can freely allocate their traffic
        flows between different ISPs. One is obtained by optimising an overlay utility
        function with desired properties, while the other is designed for data-driven
        least-squares fitting of the cross elasticity of demand. This last model is then
        used to solve for ISP profit maximisation},

  abstract = {Differential privacy is a notion that has emerged in the community of
        statistical databases, as a response to the problem of protecting the privacy of
        the database's participants when performing statistical queries. The idea is that
        a randomized query satisfies differential privacy if the likelihood of obtaining
        a certain answer for a database x is not too different from the likelihood of
        obtaining the same answer on adjacent databases, i.e. databases which differ from
        x for only one individual. Information flow is an area of Security concerned with
        the problem of controlling the leakage of confidential information in programs
        and protocols. Nowadays, one of the most established approaches to quantify and
        to reason about leakage is based on the R{\'e}nyi min entropy version of
        information theory. In this paper, we analyze critically the notion of
        differential privacy in light of the conceptual framework provided by the
        R{\'e}nyi min information theory. We show that there is a close relation between
        differential privacy and leakage, due to the graph symmetries induced by the
        adjacency relation. Furthermore, we consider the utility of the randomized
        answer, which measures its expected degree of accuracy. We focus on certain kinds
        of utility functions called {\textquotedblleft}binary{\textquotedblright}, which
        have a close correspondence with the R{\'e}nyi min mutual information. Again, it
        turns out that there can be a tight correspondence between differential privacy
        and utility, depending on the symmetries induced by the adjacency relation and by
        the query. Depending on these symmetries we can also build an optimal-utility
        randomization mechanism while preserving the required level of differential
        privacy. Our main contribution is a study of the kind of structures that can be
        induced by the adjacency relation and the query, and how to use them to derive
        bounds on the leakage and achieve the optimal utility},

  abstract = {It is a well-acknowledged fact that collaboration between different members
        of a supplychain yields a significant potential to increase overall supplychain
        performance. Sharing private information has been identified as prerequisite for
        collaboration and, at the same time, as one of its major obstacles. One potential
        avenue for overcoming this obstacle is Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMC). SMC
        is a cryptographic technique that enables the computation of any (well-defined)
        mathematical function by a number of parties without any party having to disclose
        its input to another party. In this paper, we show how SMC can be successfully
        employed to enable joint decision-making and benefit sharing in a simple
        supplychain setting. We develop secure protocols for implementing the well-known
        {\textquotedblleft}Joint Economic Lot Size (JELS) Model{\textquotedblright} with
        benefit sharing in such a way that none of the parties involved has to disclose
        any private (cost and capacity) data. Thereupon, we show that although
        computation of the model's outputs can be performed securely, the approach still
        faces practical limitations. These limitations are caused by the potential of
        {\textquotedblleft}inverseoptimization{\textquotedblright}, i.e., a party can
        infer another party's private data from the output of a collaborativeplanning
        scheme even if the computation is performed in a secure fashion. We provide a
        detailed analysis of {\textquotedblleft}inverseoptimization{\textquotedblright}
        potentials and introduce the notion of {\textquotedblleft}stochastic
        security{\textquotedblright}, a novel approach to assess the additional
        information a party may learn from joint computation and benefit sharing. Based
        on our definition of {\textquotedblleft}stochastic security{\textquotedblright}
        we propose a stochastic benefit sharing rule, develop a secure protocol for this
        benefit sharing rule, and assess under which conditions stochastic benefit

        Recommendation systems exploit the opinions of other users to suggest movies or

        networks with explicit networks like Facebook. Our Social Market (SM) allows
        users to identify and build connections to other users that can provide
        interesting goods, or information. At the same time, it backs up these
        connections with trust, by associating them with paths of trusted users that
        connect new acquaintances through the explicit network. This convergence of

        provide very efficient look-up operations, they traditionally do not provide any

        perform complex querying over structured P2P networks by means of efficiently

        there have been various approaches proposed for broadcasting search queries over

        First choose what to compute, i.e., a differentially private analysis; Then
        decide how to compute it, i.e., construct an SFE protocol for this analysis. We
        initiate an examination whether there are advantages to a paradigm where both

        accuracy requirements it is beneficial to adapt this paradigm for computing a

        {\epsilon} in differential privacy is used to quantify the privacy risk posed by
        releasing statistics computed on sensitive data, {\epsilon} is not an absolute
        measure of privacy but rather a relative measure. In effect, even for the same
        value of {\epsilon} , the privacy guarantees enforced by differential privacy are
        different based on the domain of attribute in question and the query supported.
        We consider the probability of identifying any particular individual as being in
        the database, and demonstrate the challenge of setting the proper value of
        {\epsilon} given the goal of protecting individuals in the database with some
        fixed probability},

  abstract = {The contribution of this thesis is the study and improvement of secure,
        decentralized, robust routing algorithms for open networks including ad-hoc
        networks and peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks. The main goals for our secure
        routing algorithm are openness, efficiency, scalability and resilience to various
        types of attacks. Common P2P routing algorithms trade-off decentralization for
        security; for instance by choosing whether or not to require a centralized
        authority to allow peers to join the network. Other algorithms trade scalability
        for security, for example employing random search or flooding to prevent certain
        types of attacks. Our design attempts to meet our security goals in an open
        system, while limiting the performance penalties incurred. The first step we took
        towards designing our routing algorithm was an analysis of the routing algorithm
        in Freenet. This algorithm is relevant because it achieves efficient (order O(log
        n)) routing in realistic network topologies in a fully decentralized open
        network. However, we demonstrate why their algorithm is not secure, as malicious
        participants are able to severely disrupt the operation of the network. The main
        difficulty with the Freenet routing algorithm is that for performance it relies
        on information received from untrusted peers. We also detail a range of proposed
        solutions, none of which we found to fully fix the problem. A related problem for
        efficient routing in sparsely connected networks is the difficulty in
        sufficiently populating routing tables. One way to improve connectivity in P2P
        overlay networks is by utilizing modern NAT traversal techniques. We employ a
        number of standard NAT traversal techniques in our approach, and also developed
        and experimented with a novel method for NAT traversal based on ICMP and UDP hole
        punching. Unlike other NAT traversal techniques ours does not require a trusted
        third party. Another technique we use in our implementation to help address the
        connectivity problem in sparse networks is the use of distance vector routing in
        a small local neighborhood. The distance vector variant used in our system
        employs onion routing to secure the resulting indirect connections. Materially to
        this design, we discovered a serious vulnerability in the Tor protocol which
        allowed us to use a DoS attack to reduce the anonymity of the users of this
        extant anonymizing P2P network. This vulnerability is based on allowing paths of
        unrestricted length for onion routes through the network. Analyzing Tor and
        implementing this attack gave us valuable knowledge which helped when designing
        the distance vector routing protocol for our system. Finally, we present the
        design of our new secure randomized routing algorithm that does not suffer from
        the various problems we discovered in previous designs. Goals for the algorithm
        include providing efficiency and robustness in the presence of malicious
        participants for an open, fully decentralized network without trusted
        authorities. We provide a mathematical analysis of the algorithm itself and have
        created and deployed an implementation of this algorithm in GNUnet. In this
        thesis we also provide a detailed overview of a distributed emulation framework
        capable of running a large number of nodes using our full code base as well as
        some of the challenges encountered in creating and using such a testing
        framework. We present extensive experimental results showing that our routing
        algorithm outperforms the dominant DHT design in target topologies, and performs
        comparably in other scenarios},

        distributed computation of the sum of a set of numbers stored at different peers
        in a P2P network in the context of a P2P web mining application. The proposed
        optimization-based privacy-preserving technique for computing the sum allows
        different peers to specify different privacy requirements without having to
        adhere to a global set of parameters for the chosen privacy model. Since
        distributed sum computation is a frequently used primitive, the proposed approach

        anonymizing Peer-to-Peer networks on the Internet today. Like Tor, it uses onion
        routing to build tunnels between peers as the basis for providing anonymous
        communication channels. Unlike Tor, I2P integrates a range of anonymously hosted
        services directly with the platform. This thesis presents a new attack on the I2P
        Peer-to-Peer network, with the goal of determining the identity of peers that are
        anonymously hosting HTTP (Eepsite) services in the network. Key design choices
        made by I2P developers, in particular performance-based peer selection, enable a
        sophisticated adversary with modest resources to break key security assumptions.
        Our attack first obtains an estimate of the victim's view of the network. Then,
        the adversary selectively targets a small number of peers used by the victim with
        a denial-of-service attack while giving the victim the opportunity to replace
        those peers with other peers that are controlled by the adversary. Finally, the
        adversary performs some simple measurements to determine the identity of the peer
        hosting the service. This thesis provides the necessary background on I2P, gives
        details on the attack --- including experimental data from measurements against

        users (according to their profiles) while preserving their privacy in a fully
        decentralized system and for the passive adversary model. First, we introduce a
        two-party protocol for privately computing a threshold version of the similarity
        and apply it to well-known similarity measures such as the scalar product and the
        cosine similarity. The output of this protocol is only one bit of information
        telling whether or not two users are similar beyond a predetermined threshold.
        Afterwards, we explore the computation of the exact and threshold similarity
        within the context of differential privacy. Differential privacy is a recent
        notion developed within the field of private data analysis guaranteeing that an
        adversary that observes the output of the differentially private mechanism, will
        only gain a negligible advantage (up to a privacy parameter) from the presence
        (or absence) of a particular item in the profile of a user. This provides a
        strong privacy guarantee that holds independently of the auxiliary knowledge that
        the adversary might have. More specifically, we design several differentially
        private variants of the exact and threshold protocols that rely on the addition
        of random noise tailored to the sensitivity of the considered similarity measure.
        We also analyze their complexity as well as their impact on the utility of the
        resulting similarity measure. Finally, we provide experimental results validating

        represented in a compact way, as a Bloom filter, and the main objective is to
        privately compute in a distributed manner the similarity between users by relying
        only on the Bloom filter representation. In particular, we aim at providing a
        high level of privacy with respect to the profile even if a potentially unbounded
        number of similarity computations take place, thus calling for a non-interactive
        mechanism. To achieve this, we propose a novel non-interactive differentially
        private mechanism called BLIP (for BLoom-and-flIP) for randomizing Bloom filters.
        This approach relies on a bit flipping mechanism and offers high privacy
        guarantees while maintaining a small communication cost. Another advantage of
        this non-interactive mechanism is that similarity computation can take place even
        when the user is offline, which is impossible to achieve with interactive
        mechanisms. Another of our contributions is the definition of a probabilistic
        inference attack, called the {\textquotedblleft}Profile Reconstruction
        attack{\textquotedblright}, that can be used to reconstruct the profile of an
        individual from his Bloom filter representation. More specifically, we provide an

        Placing consecutive data values in neighboring peers is desirable in DHTs since
        it accelerates range query processing; however, such a placement is highly
        susceptible to load imbalances. At the same time, DHTs may be susceptible to node
        departures/failures and high data availability and fault tolerance are
        significant issues. Saturn deals effectively with these problems through the
        introduction of a novel multiple ring, order-preserving architecture. The use of
        a novel order-preserving hash function ensures fast range query processing.
        Replication across and within data rings (termed vertical and horizontal
        replication) forms the foundation over which our mechanisms are developed,
        ensuring query load balancing and fault tolerance, respectively. Our detailed
        experimentation study shows strong gains in range query processing efficiency,
        access load balancing, and fault tolerance, with low replication overheads. The

        context of massive data from the Web, if an application wants to provide more
        personalized service (e.g. search) for users, an investigation on user interests
        is needed. User interests are usually distributed in different sources. In order
        to provide a more comprehensive understanding, user related data from multiple
        sources need to be integrated together for deeper analysis. Web based social
        networks have become typical platforms for extracting user interests. In
        addition, there are various types of interests from these social networks. In
        this paper, we provide an algorithmic framework for retrieving semantic data
        based on user interests from multiple sources (such as multiple social networking
        sites). We design several algorithms to deal with interests based retrieval based
        on single and multiple types of interests. We utilize publication data from
        Semantic Web Dog Food (which can be considered as an academic collaboration based
        social network), and microblogging data from Twitter to validate our framework.
        The Active Academic Visit Recommendation Application (AAVRA) is developed as a

        approach is to convert regular expressions into finite automatons and store the
        corresponding states and transitions in a DHT. We show how locally constructed
        DFA are merged in the DHT into an NFA without the knowledge of any NFA already
        present in the DHT and without the need for any central authority. Furthermore we
        present options of optimizing the DFA. There exist several possible applications
        for this general approach of decentralized regular expression evaluation.

        system builds on ideas from Rivest's Simple Distributed Security Infrastructure
        (SDSI) to address a central issue with providing a decentralized mapping of
        secure identifiers to memorable names: providing a global, secure and memorable
        mapping is impossible without a trusted authority. SDSI offers an alternative by
        linking local name spaces; GADS uses the transitivity provided by the SDSI design
        to build a decentralized and censorship resistant name system without a trusted
        root based on secure delegation of authority. Additional details need to be
        considered in order to enable GADS to integrate smoothly with the World Wide Web.
        While following links on the Web matches following delegations in GADS, the
        existing HTTP-based infrastructure makes many assumptions about globally unique
        names; however, proxies can be used to enable legacy applications to function
        with GADS. This work presents the fundamental goals and ideas behind GADS,
        provides technical details on how GADS has been implemented and discusses
        deployment issues for using GADS with existing systems. We discuss how GADS and

        {\textquotedblleft}good enough{\textquotedblright} to generate a secret key
        capable of encrypting k bits, then one can deterministically extract nearly k
        almost uniform bits from R, suggesting that traditional privacy notions (namely,
        indistinguishability of encryption) requires an
        {\textquotedblleft}extractable{\textquotedblright} source of randomness. Other,
        even stronger impossibility results are known for achieving privacy under
        specific {\textquotedblleft}non-extractable{\textquotedblright} sources of
        randomness, such as the {\gamma}-Santha-Vazirani (SV) source, where each next bit
        has fresh entropy, but is allowed to have a small bias {\gamma} < 1 (possibly
        depending on prior bits). We ask whether similar negative results also hold for a
        more recent notion of privacy called differential privacy (Dwork et al., TCC'06),
        concentrating, in particular, on achieving differential privacy with the
        Santha-Vazirani source. We show that the answer is no. Specifically, we give a
        differentially private mechanism for approximating arbitrary
        {\textquotedblleft}low sensitivity{\textquotedblright} functions that works even
        with randomness coming from a {\gamma}-Santha-Vazirani source, for any {\gamma} <

        {\textquotedblleft}separation{\textquotedblright} between traditional privacy and
        differential privacy with respect to imperfect randomness. Interestingly, the
        design of our mechanism is quite different from the traditional
        {\textquotedblleft}additive-noise{\textquotedblright} mechanisms (e.g., Laplace
        mechanism) successfully utilized to achieve differential privacy with perfect
        randomness. Indeed, we show that any (non-trivial)
        {\textquotedblleft}SV-robust{\textquotedblright} mechanism for our problem
        requires a demanding property called consistent sampling, which is strictly
        stronger than differential privacy, and cannot be satisfied by any additive-noise

        rich location data they bring to the table is set to revolutionize all aspects of
        online life including content delivery, recommendation systems, and advertising.
        However, user-tracking is a concern with such location-based services, not only
        because location data can be linked uniquely to individuals, but because the
        low-level nature of current location APIs and the resulting dependence on the
        cloud to synthesize useful representations virtually guarantees such tracking. In
        this paper, we propose privacy-preserving location-based matching as a
        fundamental platform primitive and as an alternative to exposing low-level,
        latitude-longitude (lat-long) coordinates to applications. Applications set rich
        location-based triggers and have these be fired based on location updates either
        from the local device or from a remote device (e.g., a friend's phone). Our Koi
        platform, comprising a privacy-preserving matching service in the cloud and a
        phone-based agent, realizes this primitive across multiple phone and browser
        platforms. By masking low-level lat-long information from applications, Koi not
        only avoids leaking privacy-sensitive information, it also eases the task of
        programmers by providing a higher-level abstraction that is easier for
        applications to build upon. Koi's privacy-preserving protocol prevents the cloud
        service from tracking users. We verify the non-tracking properties of Koi using a
        theorem prover, illustrate how privacy guarantees can easily be added to a wide
        range of location-based applications, and show that our public deployment is
        performant, being able to perform 12K matches per second on a single core},

  abstract = {This paper is about private data analysis, in which a trusted curator holding
        a confidential database responds to real vector-valued queries. A common approach
        to ensuring privacy for the database elements is to add appropriately generated
        random noise to the answers, releasing only these noisy responses. A line of
        study initiated in [7] examines the amount of distortion needed to prevent
        privacy violations of various kinds. The results in the literature vary according
        to several parameters, including the size of the database, the size of the
        universe from which data elements are drawn, the
        {\textquotedblleft}amount{\textquotedblright} of privacy desired, and for the
        purposes of the current work, the arity of the query. In this paper we sharpen
        and unify these bounds. Our foremost result combines the techniques of Hardt and
        Talwar [11] and McGregor et al. [13] to obtain linear lower bounds on distortion
        when providing differential privacy for a (contrived) class of low-sensitivity
        queries. (A query has low sensitivity if the data of a single individual has
        small effect on the answer.) Several structural results follow as immediate
        corollaries: We separate so-called counting queries from arbitrary
        low-sensitivity queries, proving the latter requires more noise, or distortion,
        than does the former; We separate ({\epsilon},0)-differential privacy from its
        well-studied relaxation ({\epsilon},{\delta})-differential privacy, even when
        {\delta} {\epsilon} 2- o(n) is negligible in the size n of the database, proving
        the latter requires less distortion than the former; We demonstrate that
        ({\epsilon},{\delta})-differential privacy is much weaker than
        ({\epsilon},0)-differential privacy in terms of mutual information of the
        transcript of the mechanism with the database, even when {\delta} {\epsilon} 2-
        o(n) is negligible in the size n of the database. We also simplify the lower
        bounds on noise for counting queries in [11] and also make them unconditional.
        Further, we use a characterization of ({\epsilon},{\delta}) differential privacy
        from [13] to obtain lower bounds on the distortion needed to ensure
        ({\epsilon},{\delta})-differential privacy for {\epsilon},{\delta} > 0. We next
        revisit the LP decoding argument of [10] and combine it with a recent result of
        Rudelson [15] to improve on a result of Kasiviswanathan et al. [12] on noise

        phases are commonly done through simulation and emulation respectively. While the
        current state-of-the-art simulation allows evaluations with many millions of
        peers through the use of abstractions, emulation still lags behind as it involves
        executing the real implementation at some parts of the system. This difference in
        scales can make it hard to relate the evaluations made created with simulation
        and emulation during the design and implementation phases and can results in a
        limited evaluation of the implementation, which may cause severe problems after
        deployment. In this thesis, we build upon an existing emulator for P2P
        applications to push the scales offered by emulation towards the limits set by
        simulation. Our approach distributes and co-ordinates the emulation across many
        hosts. Large deployments are possible by deploying hundreds or thousands of peers
        on each host. To address the varying needs of an experimenter and the range of
        available hardware, we make our approach scalable such that it can easily be
        adapted to run evaluations on a single machine or a large group of hosts.
        Specifically, the system automatically adjusts the number of overlapping
        operations to the available resources efficiently using a feedback mechanism,
        thus relieving the experimenter from the hassles of manual tuning. We
        specifically target HPC systems like compute clusters and supercomputers and
        demonstrate how such systems can be used for large scale emulations by evaluating
        two P2P applications with deployment sizes up to 90k peers on a supercomputer},

        by assigning IDs through a bootstrap tree, the graph of how nodes have joined the
        system through invitations. More specifically, a node joins Persea when it gets
        an invitation from an existing node in the system. The inviting node assigns a
        node ID to the joining node and gives it a chunk of node IDs for further
        distribution. For each chunk of ID space, the attacker needs to socially engineer
        a connection to another node already in the system. This hierarchical
        distribution of node IDs confines a large attacker botnet to a considerably
        smaller region of the ID space than in a normal P2P system. Persea uses a
        replication mechanism in which each (key,value) pair is stored in nodes that are
        evenly spaced over the network. Thus, even if a given region is occupied by
        attackers, the desired (key,value) pair can be retrieved from other regions. We
        compare our results with Kad, Whanau, and X-Vine and show that Persea is a better
        solution against Sybil attacks. collapse},

  editor = {Tjebbe Vlieg}, 
  abstract = {Although the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) using X.509 is meant to prevent
        the occurrence of man-in-the-middle attacks on TLS, there are still situations in
        which such attacks are possible due to the large number of Certification
        Authorities (CA) that has to be trusted. Recent incidents involving CA
        compromises, which lead to issuance of rogue certificates indicate the weakness
        of the PKI model. Recently various public key pinning protocols -- such as DANE
        or TACK -- have been proposed to thwart man-in-the-middle attacks on TLS
        connections. It will take a longer time, however, until any of these protocols
        reach wide deployment. We present an approach intended as an interim solution to
        bridge this gap and provide protection for connections to servers not yet using a
        pinning protocol. The presented method is based on public key pinning with a
        trust on first use model, and can be combined with existing notary approaches as
        well},

  abstract = {SPDY is a rather new protocol which is an alternative to HTTP. It was
        designed to address inefficiencies in the latter and thereby improve latency and
        reduce bandwidth consumption. This thesis presents the design and implementation
        of a setup for utilizing SPDY within the anonymizing Tor network for reducing
        latency and traffic in the latter. A C library implementing the SPDY server
        protocol is introduced together with an HTTP to SPDY and a SPDY to HTTP proxy
        which are the base for the presented design. Furthermore, we focus on the SPDY
        server push feature which allows servers to send multiple responses to a single
        request for reducing latency and traffic on loading web pages. We propose a
        prediction algorithm for employing push at SPDY servers and proxies. The
        algorithm makes predictions based on previous requests and responses and
        initially does not know anything about the data which it will push. This thesis
        includes extensive measurement data highlighting the possible benefits of using
        SPDY instead of HTTP and HTTPS (1.0 or 1.1), especially with respect to networks
        experiencing latency or loss. Moreover, the real profit from using SPDY within
        the Tor network on loading some of the most popular web sites is presented.
        Finally, evaluations of the proposed push prediction algorithm are given for
        emphasizing the possible gain of employing it at SPDY reverse and forward

        We argue that this behavior is a relic of the past, when disk storage was a
        scarce resource. Today, large cheap disks make it possible for the file system to
        protect valuable data from accidental delete or overwrite. This paper describes
        the design, implementation, and performance of the Elephant file system, which
        automatically retains all important versions of user files. Users name previous
        file versions by combining a traditional pathname with a time when the desired
        version of a file or directory existed. Storage in Elephant is managed by the
        system using filegrain user-specified retention policies. This approach contrasts
        with checkpointing file systems such as Plan-9, AFS, and WAFL that periodically
        generate efficient checkpoints of entire file systems and thus restrict retention
        to be guided by a single policy for all files within that file system. Elephant

        problem analytically. One of the most refined of these models was formulated in
        recent work of Watts and Strogatz; their framework provided compelling evidence
        that the small-world phenomenon is pervasive in a range of networks arising in
        nature and technology, and a fundamental ingredient in the evolution of the World
        Wide Web. But existing models are insufficient to explain the striking
        algorithmic component of Milgram's original findings: that individuals using
        local information are collectively very effective at actually constructing short
        paths between two points in a social network. Although recently proposed network
        models are rich in short paths, we prove that no decentralized algorithm,
        operating with local information only, can construct short paths in these
        networks with non-negligible probability. We then define an infinite family of
        network models that naturally generalizes the Watts-Strogatz model, and show that
        for one of these models, there is a decentralized algorithm capable of finding
        short paths with high probability. More generally, we provide a strong
        characterization of this family of network models, showing that there is in fact
        a unique model within the family for which decentralized algorithms are
        effective},

        implementing multicast related functionality. However, ten years after its
        initial proposal, IP Multicast is still plagued with concerns pertaining to
        scalability, network management, deployment and support for higher layer
        functionality such as error, flow and congestion control. In this paper, we
        explore an alternative architecture for small and sparse groups, where end
        systems implement all multicast related functionality including membership
        management and packet replication. We call such a scheme End System Multicast.
        This shifting of multicast support from routers to end systems has the potential
        to address most problems associated with IP Multicast. However, the key concern
        is the performance penalty associated with such a model. In particular, End
        System Multicast introduces duplicate packets on physical links and incurs larger
        end-to-end delay than IP Multicast. In this paper, we study this question in the
        context of the Narada protocol. In Narada, end systems self-organize into an
        overlay structure using a fully distributed protocol. In addition, Narada
        attempts to optimize the efficiency of the overlay based on end-to-end
        measurements. We present details of Narada and evaluate it using both simulation
        and Internet experiments. Preliminary results are encouraging. In most
        simulations and Internet experiments, the delay and bandwidth penalty are low. We
        believe the potential benefits of repartitioning multicast functionality between
        end systems and routers significantly outweigh the performance penalty incurred},

        routing protocols that take at least several minutes to recover. A RON is an
        application-layer overlay on top of the existing Internet routing substrate. The
        RON nodes monitor the functioning and quality of the Internet paths among
        themselves, and use this information to decide whether to route packets directly
        over the Internet or by way of other RON nodes, optimizing application-specific
        routing metrics.Results from two sets of measurements of a working RON deployed
        at sites scattered across the Internet demonstrate the benefits of our
        architecture. For instance, over a 64-hour sampling period in March 2001 across a
        twelve-node RON, there were 32 significant outages, each lasting over thirty
        minutes, over the 132 measured paths. RON's routing mechanism was able to detect,
        recover, and route around all of them, in less than twenty seconds on average,
        showing that its methods for fault detection and recovery work well at
        discovering alternate paths in the Internet. Furthermore, RON was able to improve
        the loss rate, latency, or throughput perceived by data transfers; for example,
        about 5\% of the transfers doubled their TCP throughput and 5\% of our transfers
        saw their loss probability reduced by 0.05. We found that forwarding packets via
        at most one intermediate RON node is sufficient to overcome faults and improve
        performance in most cases. These improvements, particularly in the area of fault
        detection and recovery, demonstrate the benefits of moving some of the control
        over routing into the hands of end-systems},

        such networks---particularly when high latency makes remote login sessions

        users could run the programs locally and manipulate remote files through the file

        bandwidth than most current file systems.This paper presents LBFS, a network file
        system designed for low-bandwidth networks. LBFS exploits similarities between
        files or versions of the same file to save bandwidth. It avoids sending data over
        the network when the same data can already be found in the server's file system
        or the client's cache. Using this technique in conjunction with conventional
        compression and caching, LBFS consumes over an order of magnitude less bandwidth

        servers.CFS is implemented using the SFS file system toolkit and runs on Linux,
        OpenBSD, and FreeBSD. Experience on a globally deployed prototype shows that CFS
        delivers data to clients as fast as FTP. Controlled tests show that CFS is
        scalable: with 4,096 servers, looking up a block of data involves contacting only
        seven servers. The tests also demonstrate nearly perfect robustness and
        unimpaired performance even when as many as half the servers fail},

  abstract = {Mobile ad-hoc networking works properly only if the participating nodes
        cooperate in routing and forwarding. However,it may be advantageous for
        individual nodes not to cooperate. We propose a protocol, called CONFIDANT, for
        making misbehavior unattractive; it is based on selective altruism and
        utilitarianism. It aims at detecting and isolating misbehaving nodes, thus making
        it unattractive to deny cooperation. Trust relationships and routing decisions
        are based on experienced, observed, or reported routing and forwarding behavior
        of other nodes. The detailed implementation of CONFIDANT in this paper assumes
        that the network layer is based on the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol. We
        present a performance analysis of DSR fortified by CONFIDANT and compare it to
        regular defenseless DSR. It shows that a network with CONFIDANT and up to 60\% of
        misbehaving nodes behaves almost as well as a benign network, in sharp contrast
        to a defenseless network. All simulations have been implemented and performed in
        GloMoSim},

        telecommunication networks. Understanding the nature of traffic in high speed,
        high bandwidth communication system is essential for effective operation and
        performance evaluation of the networks. Many routing protocols reported in the
        literature for Mobile ad hoc networks(MANETS) have been primarily designed and
        analyzed under the assumption of CBR traffic models, which is unable to capture
        the statistical characteristics of the actual traffic. It is necessary to
        evaluate the performance properties of MANETs in the context of more realistic
        traffic models. In an effort towards this end, this paper evaluates the
        performance of adhoc on demand multipath distance vector (AOMDV) routing protocol
        in the presence of poisson and bursty self similar traffic and compares them with
        that of CBR traffic. Different metrics are considered in analyzing the
        performance of routing protocol including packet delivery ratio, throughput and
        end to end delay. Our simulation results indicate that the packet delivery
        fraction and throughput in AOMDV is increased in the presence of self similar
        traffic compared to other traffic. Moreover, it is observed that the end to end
        delay in the presence of self similar traffic is lesser than that of CBR and
        higher than that of poisson traffic},

        newspaper headlines, challenging traditional approaches to content distribution
        with their revolutionary use of peer-to-peer file-sharing technologies. Reporters
        try to sort out the ramifications of seemingly ungoverned peer-to-peer networks.
        Lawyers, business leaders, and social commentators debate the virtues and evils
        of these bold new distributed systems. But what's really behind such disruptive
        technologies -- the breakthrough innovations that have rocked the music and media
        worlds? And what lies ahead? In this book, key peer-to-peer pioneers take us
        beyond the headlines and hype and show how the technology is changing the way we
        communicate and exchange information. Those working to advance peer-to-peer as a
        technology, a business opportunity, and an investment offer their insights into
        how the technology has evolved and where it's going. They explore the problems
        they've faced, the solutions they've discovered, the lessons they've learned, and
        their goals for the future of computer networking. Until now, Internet
        communities have been limited by the flat interactive qualities of email and
        network newsgroups, where people can exchange recommendations and ideas but have
        great difficulty commenting on one another's postings, structuring information,
        performing searches, and creating summaries. Peer-to-peer challenges the
        traditional authority of the client/server model, allowing shared information to
        reside instead with producers and users. Peer-to-peer networks empower users to
        collaborate on producing and consuming information, adding to it, commenting on
        it, and building communities around it. This compilation represents the collected
        wisdom of today's peer-to-peer luminaries. It includes contributions from
        Gnutella's Gene Kan, Freenet's Brandon Wiley, Jabber's Jeremie Miller, and many

        wireless sensor networks particularly focuses on applications involving
        autonomous use of compute, sensing, and wireless communication devices for both
        scientific and commercial purposes. This paper examines the research decisions
        and design tradeoffs that arise when applying wireless peer-to-peer networking
        techniques in a mobile sensor network designed to support wildlife tracking for
        biology research.The ZebraNet system includes custom tracking collars (nodes)
        carried by animals under study across a large, wild area; the collars operate as
        a peer-to-peer network to deliver logged data back to researchers. The collars
        include global positioning system (GPS), Flash memory, wireless transceivers, and
        a small CPU; essentially each node is a small, wireless computing device. Since
        there is no cellular service or broadcast communication covering the region where
        animals are studied, ad hoc, peer-to-peer routing is needed. Although numerous ad
        hoc protocols exist, additional challenges arise because the researchers
        themselves are mobile and thus there is no fixed base station towards which to
        aim data. Overall, our goal is to use the least energy, storage, and other
        resources necessary to maintain a reliable system with a very high
        {\textquoteleft}data homing' success rate. We plan to deploy a 30-node ZebraNet
        system at the Mpala Research Centre in central Kenya. More broadly, we believe

        ZebraNet will have general applicability in other wireless and sensor

        involved to verify whether it was a misconfiguration, and to learn the cause of
        the incident. We also actively probed the Internet to determine the impact of
        misconfiguration on connectivity.Surprisingly, we find that configuration errors
        are pervasive, with 200-1200 prefixes (0.2-1.0\% of the BGP table size) suffering
        from misconfiguration each day. Close to 3 in 4 of all new prefix advertisements
        were results of misconfiguration. Fortunately, the connectivity seen by end users
        is surprisingly robust to misconfigurations. While misconfigurations can
        substantially increase the update load on routers, only one in twenty five
        affects connectivity. While the causes of misconfiguration are diverse, we argue
        that most could be prevented through better router design},

        designed for low-bandwidth, data streaming applications with large receiver sets.
        Our scheme is based upon a hierarchical clustering of the application-layer
        multicast peers and can support a number of different data delivery trees with
        desirable properties.We present extensive simulations of both our protocol and
        the Narada application-layer multicast protocol over Internet-like topologies.
        Our results show that for groups of size 32 or more, our protocol has lower link
        stress (by about 25\%), improved or similar end-to-end latencies and similar
        failure recovery properties. More importantly, it is able to achieve these
        results by using orders of magnitude lower control traffic.Finally, we present
        results from our wide-area testbed in which we experimented with 32-100 member
        groups distributed over 8 different sites. In our experiments, average group
        members established and maintained low-latency paths and incurred a maximum
        packet loss rate of less than 1\% as members randomly joined and left the
        multicast group. The average control overhead during our experiments was less
        than 1 Kbps for groups of size 100},

        potentially very large overlay network of nodes connected via the Internet. It
        can be used to support a variety of peer-to-peer applications, including global
        data storage, data sharing, group communication and naming. Each node in the
        Pastry network has a unique identifier (nodeId). When presented with a message
        and a key, a Pastry node efficiently routes the message to the node with a nodeId
        that is numerically closest to the key, among all currently live Pastry nodes.
        Each Pastry node keeps track of its immediate neighbors in the nodeId space, and
        notifies applications of new node arrivals, node failures and recoveries. Pastry
        takes into account network locality; it seeks to minimize the distance messages
        travel, according to a to scalar proximity metric like the number of IP routing
        hops. Pastry is completely decentralized, scalable, and self-organizing; it
        automatically adapts to the arrival, departure and failure of nodes. Experimental
        results obtained with a prototype implementation on an emulated network of up to

        for dynamic net-works, and incorporates data fusion into the routing protocol to
        reduce the amount of information that must be transmitted to the base station.
        Simulations show that LEACH can achieve as much as a factor of 8 reduction in
        energy dissipation compared with conventional routing protocols. In addition,

        that consists of greedy, selfish agents who accept payments for forwarding data
        for other agents if the payments cover their individual costs incurred by
        forwarding data. In this setting, we propose Ad hoc-VCG, a reactive routing
        protocol that achieves the design objectives of truthfulness (i.e., it is in the
        agents' best interest to reveal their true costs for forwarding data) and
        cost-efficiency (i.e., it guarantees that routing is done along the most
        cost-efficient path) in a game-theoretic sense by paying to the intermediate
        nodes a premium over their actual costs for forwarding data packets. We show that
        the total overpayment (i.e., the sum of all premiums paid) is relatively small by
        giving a theoretical upper bound and by providing experimental evidence. Our
        routing protocol implements a variation of the well-known mechanism by Vickrey,
        Clarke, and Groves in a mobile network setting. Finally, we analyze a very
        natural routing protocol that is an adaptation of the Packet Purse Model [8] with

        belong to the same authority; therefore, they are motivated to cooperate in order
        to support the basic functions of the network. In this paper, we consider the
        case when each node is its own authority and tries to maximize the benefits it
        gets from the network. More precisely, we assume that the nodes are not willing
        to forward packets for the benefit of other nodes. This problem may arise in
        civilian applications of mobile ad hoc networks. In order to stimulate the nodes
        for packet forwarding, we propose a simple mechanism based on a counter in each
        node. We study the behavior of the proposed mechanism analytically and by means
        of simulations, and detail the way in which it could be protected against

        networks; it enables sensor nodes to communicate securely with each other using
        cryptographic techniques. However, due to the resource constraints on sensors, it
        is infeasible to use traditional key management techniques such as public key
        cryptography and key distribution center (KDC). To facilitate the study of novel
        pairwise key predistribution techniques, this paper presents a general framework
        for establishing pairwise keys between sensors on the basis of a polynomial-based
        key predistribution protocol [2]. This paper then presents two efficient
        instantiations of the general framework: a random subset assignment key
        predistribution scheme and a grid-based key predistribution scheme. The analysis
        in this paper indicates that these two schemes have a number of nice properties,
        including high probability (or guarantee) to establish pairwise keys, tolerance
        of node captures, and low communication overhead. Finally, this paper presents a
        technique to reduce the computation at sensors required by these schemes},

        Instead of explicitly sending a packet to a destination, each packet is
        associated with an identifier; this identifier is then used by the receiver to
        obtain delivery of the packet. This level of indirection decouples the act of
        sending from the act of receiving, and allows i3 to efficiently support a wide
        variety of fundamental communication services. To demonstrate the feasibility of
        this approach, we have designed and built a prototype based on the Chord lookup

        for each file. Each storage location chooses a part (or a coded version of the
        parts) of the file without the knowledge of what is stored in the other
        locations. We want a file-downloader to connect to as few storage locations as
        possible and retrieve the entire file. We compare the performance of three
        strategies: uncoded storage, traditional erasure coding based storage, random
        linear coding based storage motivated by network coding. We demonstrate that, in
        principle, a traditional erasure coding based storage (eg: Reed-Solomon Codes)
        strategy can almost do as well as one can ask for with appropriate choice of
        parameters. However, the cost is a large amount of additional storage space
        required at the centralized server before distribution among multiple locations.
        The random linear coding based strategy performs as well without suffering from
        any such disadvantage. Further, with a probability close to one, the minimum
        number of storage location a downloader needs to connect to (for reconstructing
        the entire file), can be very close to the case where there is complete
        coordination between the storage locations and the downloader. We also argue that

  abstract = {Flexibility and efficiency are the prime requirements for any P2P search
        mechanism. Existing P2P systems do not seem to provide satisfactory solution for
        achieving these two conflicting goals. Unstructured search protocols (as adopted
        in Gnutella and FastTrack), provide search flexibility but exhibit poor
        performance characteristics. Structured search techniques (mostly distributed
        hash table (DHT)-based), on the other hand, can efficiently route queries to
        target peers but support exact-match queries only. In this paper we present a
        novel P2P system, called distributed pattern matching system (DPMS), for enabling
        flexible and efficient search. Distributed pattern matching can be used to solve
        problems like wildcard searching (for file-sharing P2P systems), partial service
        description matching (for service discovery systems) etc. DPMS uses a hierarchy
        of indexing peers for disseminating advertised patterns. Patterns are aggregated
        and replicated at each level along the hierarchy. Replication improves
        availability and resilience to peer failure, and aggregation reduces storage
        overhead. An advertised pattern can be discovered using any subset of its 1-bits;
        this allows inexact matching and queries in conjunctive normal form. Search
        complexity (i.e., the number of peers to be probed) in DPMS is O (log N + zetalog
        N/log N), where N is the total number of peers and zeta is proportional to the
        number of matches, required in a search result. The impact of churn problem is
        less severe in DPMS than DHT-based systems. Moreover, DPMS provides guarantee on
        search completeness for moderately stable networks. We demonstrate the
        effectiveness of DPMS using mathematical analysis and simulation results},

        decentralized file system based on the peer-to-peer overlay network DKS. While
        designing Keso we have taken into account many of the problems that exist in
        today's distributed file systems. Traditionally, distributed file systems have
        been built around dedicated file servers which often use expensive hardware to
        minimize the risk of breakdown and to handle the load. System administrators are
        required to monitor the load and disk usage of the file servers and to manually
        add clients and servers to the system. Another drawback with centralized file
        systems are that a lot of storage space is unused on clients. Measurements we
        have taken on existing computer systems has shown that a large part of the
        storage capacity of workstations is unused. In the system we looked at there was
        three times as much storage space available on workstations than was stored in
        the distributed file system. We have also shown that much data stored in a
        production use distributed file system is redundant. The main goals for the
        design of Keso has been that it should make use of spare resources, avoid storing
        unnecessarily redundant data, scale well, be self-organizing and be a secure file
        system suitable for a real world environment. By basing Keso on peer-to-peer
        techniques it becomes highly scalable, fault tolerant and self-organizing. Keso
        is intended to run on ordinary workstations and can make use of the previously
        unused storage space. Keso also provides means for access control and data
        privacy despite being built on top of untrusted components. The file system
        utilizes the fact that a lot of data stored in traditional file systems is
        redundant by letting all files that contains a datablock with the same contents
        reference the same datablock in the file system. This is achieved while still
        maintaining access control and data privacy},

        which these characteristics are reflected in---and affected by---the

        suggests that when the aim is to maximize social welfare a fixed contribution
        scheme in terms of the number of files shared can be asymptotically optimal as
        the number of participants grows to infinity. Such a simple scheme eliminates
        free riding, is incentive compatible and obtains a value of social welfare that

        that a simple optimization problem can be used to closely approximate the
        solution of the exact model (which is in most cases practically intractable both
        analytically and computationally), is of great importance for studying several
        interesting aspects of the system. We consider the evolution of the system to
        equilibrium in its early life, when both peers and the system planner are still
        learning about system parameters. We also analyse the case of group formation
        when peers belong to different classes (such as DSL and dial-up users), and it
        may be to their advantage to form distinct groups instead of a larger single
        group, or form such a larger group but avoid disclosing their class. We finally

        networks. Ad-hoc networks are networks made between arbitrary nodes without any
        form of infrastructure or central control. Backup in such environments would have
        to rely on other nodes to keep backups. The key problem is knowing whom to trust.
        Backup in ad-hoc network is meant to be a method to offer extra security to data
        that is created outside of a controlled environment. The most important aspects
        of backup are the ability to retrieve data after it is lost from the original
        device. In this project an ad-hoc network is simulated, to measure how much of
        the data can be retrieved as a function of the size of the network. The distance
        to the data and how many of the distributed copies are available is measured. The
        network is simulated using User-mode Linux and the centrality and connectivity of
        the simulated network is measured. Finding the device that keeps your data when a
        restoration is needed can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. A simple
        solution to this is to not only rely on the ad-hoc network but also make it
        possible for devices that keep backups to upload data to others or back to a host
        that is available to the source itself},

        own heart-surgery unit is doing compared with the others in terms of mortality
        rates, subsequent complications, or any other quality metric. Similarly, a number
        of small businesses might want to use their recent point-of-sales data to
        cooperatively forecast future demand and thus make more informed decisions about
        inventory, capacity, employment, etc. These are simple examples of cooperative
        benchmarking and (respectively) forecasting that would benefit all participants
        as well as the public at large, as they would make it possible for participants
        to avail themselves of more precise and reliable data collected from many
        sources, to assess their own local performance in comparison to global trends,
        and to avoid many of the inefficiencies that currently arise because of having
        less information available for their decision-making. And yet, in spite of all
        these advantages, cooperative benchmarking and forecasting typically do not take
        place, because of the participants' unwillingness to share their information with
        others. Their reluctance to share is quite rational, and is due to fears of
        embarrassment, lawsuits, weakening their negotiating position (e.g., in case of
        over-capacity), revealing corporate performance and strategies, etc. The
        development and deployment of private benchmarking and forecasting
        technologies would allow such collaborations to take place without revealing any
        participant's data to the others, reaping the benefits of collaboration while
        avoiding the drawbacks. Moreover, this kind of technology would empower smaller
        organizations who could then cooperatively base their decisions on a much broader
        information base, in a way that is today restricted to only the largest
        corporations. This paper is a step towards this goal, as it gives protocols for
        forecasting and benchmarking that reveal to the participants the desired answers
        yet do not reveal to any participant any other participant's private data. We
        consider several forecasting methods, including linear regression and time series
        techniques such as moving average and exponential smoothing. One of the novel
        parts of this work, that further distinguishes it from previous work in secure
        multi-party computation, is that it involves floating point arithmetic, in
        particular it provides protocols to securely and efficiently perform division},

        available revocable ABE schemes in the literature. Their revocation mechanisms,
        however, differ in the sense that they can be considered as direct and indirect
        methods. Direct revocation enforces revocation directly by the sender
        who specifies the revocation list while encrypting. Indirect revocation
        enforces revocation by the key authority who releases a key update material
        periodically in such a way that only non-revoked users can update their keys
        (hence, revoked users' keys are implicitly rendered useless). An advantage of the
        indirect method over the direct one is that it does not require senders to know
        the revocation list. In contrast, an advantage of the direct method over the
        other is that it does not involve key update phase for all non-revoked users
        interacting with the key authority. In this paper, we present the first
        Hybrid Revocable ABE scheme that allows senders to select on-the-fly

        Laboratories. During the development of Celeste, we faced the challenge of
        complete object deletion, and moreover, of deleting ''files'' composed of several
        different objects. This important problem is not solved by merely deleting
        meta-data, as there are scenarios in which all file contents must be deleted,
        e.g., due to a court order. Complete file deletion in a realistic peer-to-peer
        storage system has not been previously dealt with due to the intricacy of the
        problem--the system may experience high churn rates, nodes may crash or have
        intermittent connectivity, and the overlay network may become partitioned at
        times. We present an algorithm that eventually deletes all file contents, data
        and meta-data, in the aforementioned complex scenarios. The algorithm is fully
        functional and has been successfully integrated into Celeste},

  abstract = {Unlike traditional routing schemes that route all traffic along a single
        path, multipath routing strategies split the traffic among several paths in order
        to ease congestion. It has been widely recognized that multipath routing can be
        fundamentally more efficient than the traditional approach of routing along
        single paths. Yet, in contrast to the single-path routing approach, most studies
        in the context of multipath routing focused on heuristic methods. We demonstrate
        the significant advantage of optimal (or near optimal) solutions. Hence, we
        investigate multipath routing adopting a rigorous (theoretical) approach. We
        formalize problems that incorporate two major requirements of multipath routing.
        Then, we establish the intractability of these problems in terms of computational
        complexity. Finally, we establish efficient solutions with proven performance
        guarantees},

  abstract = {The emergence of more powerful and resourceful mobile devices, as well as new
        wireless communication technologies, is turning the concept of ad-hoc networking
        into a viable and promising possibility for ubiquitous information sharing.
        However, the inherent characteristics of ad-hoc networks bring up new challenges
        for which most conventional systems don't provide an appropriate response.
        Namely, the lack of a pre-existing infrastructure, the high topological dynamism
        of these networks, the relatively low bandwidth of wireless links, as well as the
        limited storage and energy resources of mobile devices are issues that strongly
        affect the efficiency of any distributed system intended to provide ubiquitous
        information sharing. In this paper we describe Haddock-FS, a transparent
        replicated file system designed to support collaboration in the novel usage
        scenarios enabled by mobile environments. Haddock-FS is based on a highly
        available optimistic consistency protocol. In order to effectively cope with the
        network bandwidth and device memory constraints of these environments, Haddock-FS
        employs a limited size log truncation scheme and a cross-file, cross-version
        content similarity exploitation mechanism},

        negotiation mechanism, specifying what possible actions each party can take at
        any given time, when negotiation terminates, and what is the structure of the
        resulting agreements. Current standardization activities such as FIPA [2] and
        WS-Agreement [3] represent this as a negotiation protocol specifying the flow of
        messages. However, they omit other aspects of the rules of negotiation (such as
        obliging a participant to improve on a previous offer), requiring these to be
        represented implicitly in an agent's design, potentially resulting
        incompatibility, maintenance and re-usability problems. In this chapter, we
        propose an alternative approach, allowing all of a mechanism to be formal and
        explicit. We present (i) a taxonomy of declarative rules which can be used to
        capture a wide variety of negotiation mechanisms in a principled and
        well-structured way; (ii) a simple interaction protocol, which is able to support
        any mechanism which can be captured using the declarative rules; (iii) a software
        framework for negotiation that allows agents to effectively participate in
        negotiations defined using our rule taxonomy and protocol and (iv) a language for
        expressing aspects of the negotiation based on OWL-Lite [4]. We provide examples
        of some of the mechanisms that the framework can support},

  abstract = {We present FairplayMP (for "Fairplay Multi-Party"), a system for secure
        multi-party computation. Secure computation is one of the great achievements of
        modern cryptography, enabling a set of untrusting parties to compute any function
        of their private inputs while revealing nothing but the result of the function.
        In a sense, FairplayMP lets the parties run a joint computation that emulates a
        trusted party which receives the inputs from the parties, computes the function,
        and privately informs the parties of their outputs. FairplayMP operates by
        receiving a high-level language description of a function and a configuration
        file describing the participating parties. The system compiles the function into
        a description as a Boolean circuit, and perform a distributed evaluation of the
        circuit while revealing nothing else. FairplayMP supplements the Fairplay system
        [16], which supported secure computation between two parties. The underlying
        protocol of FairplayMP is the Beaver-Micali-Rogaway (BMR) protocol which runs in
        a constant number of communication rounds (eight rounds in our implementation).
        We modified the BMR protocol in a novel way and considerably improved its
        performance by using the Ben-Or-Goldwasser-Wigderson (BGW) protocol for the
        purpose of constructing gate tables. We chose to use this protocol since we
        believe that the number of communication rounds is a major factor on the overall
        performance of the protocol. We conducted different experiments which measure the
        effect of different parameters on the performance of the system and demonstrate
        its scalability. (We can now tell, for example, that running a second-price
        auction between four bidders, using five computation players, takes about 8
        seconds.)},

        encryption, as IBE eliminates the need for a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). The
        senders using an IBE do not need to look up the public keys and the corresponding
        certificates of the receivers, the identities (e.g. emails or IP addresses) of
        the latter are sufficient to encrypt. Any setting, PKI- or identity-based, must
        provide a means to revoke users from the system. Efficient revocation is a
        well-studied problem in the traditional PKI setting. However in the setting of
        IBE, there has been little work on studying the revocation mechanisms. The most
        practical solution requires the senders to also use time periods when encrypting,
        and all the receivers (regardless of whether their keys have been compromised or
        not) to update their private keys regularly by contacting the trusted authority.
        We note that this solution does not scale well -- as the number of users
        increases, the work on key updates becomes a bottleneck. We propose an IBE scheme
        that significantly improves key-update efficiency on the side of the trusted
        party (from linear to logarithmic in the number of users), while staying
        efficient for the users. Our scheme builds on the ideas of the Fuzzy IBE
        primitive and binary tree data structure, and is provably secure},

        with disclosure prevention in statistical databases. It provides a formal privacy
        guarantee, ensuring that sensitive information relative to individuals cannot be
        easily inferred by disclosing answers to aggregate queries. If two databases are
        adjacent, i.e. differ only for an individual, then the query should not allow to
        tell them apart by more than a certain factor. This induces a bound also on the
        distinguishability of two generic databases, which is determined by their
        distance on the Hamming graph of the adjacency relation. In this paper we explore
        the implications of differential privacy when the indistinguishability
        requirement depends on an arbitrary notion of distance. We show that we can
        naturally express, in this way, (protection against) privacy threats that cannot
        be represented with the standard notion, leading to new applications of the
        differential privacy framework. We give intuitive characterizations of these
        threats in terms of Bayesian adversaries, which generalize two interpretations of
        (standard) differential privacy from the literature. We revisit the well-known
        results stating that universally optimal mechanisms exist only for counting
        queries: We show that, in our extended setting, universally optimal mechanisms
        exist for other queries too, notably sum, average, and percentile queries. We

        system against wrong accusations. We propose a Bayesian approach for reputation

        practical usefulness of MPC for multi-domain network security and monitoring. We
        first optimize MPC comparison operations for processing high volume data in near
        real-time. We then design privacy-preserving protocols for event correlation and
        aggregation of network traffic statistics, such as addition of volume metrics,
        computation of feature entropy, and distinct item count. Optimizing performance
        of parallel invocations, we implement our protocols along with a complete set of
        basic operations in a library called SEPIA. We evaluate the running time and
        bandwidth requirements of our protocols in realistic settings on a local cluster
        as well as on PlanetLab and show that they work in near real-time for up to 140
        input providers and 9 computation nodes. Compared to implementations using
        existing general-purpose MPC frameworks, our protocols are significantly faster,
        requiring, for example, 3 minutes for a task that takes 2 days with
        general-purpose frameworks. This improvement paves the way for new applications
        of MPC in the area of networking. Finally, we run SEPIA's protocols on real
        traffic traces of 17 networks and show how they provide new possibilities for
        distributed troubleshooting and early anomaly detection},

        GNU Name System (GNS), a fully decentralized and censorship-resistant name
        system. GNS provides a privacy-enhancing alternative to DNS which preserves the
        desirable property of memorable names. Due to its design, it can also double as a
        partial replacement of public key infrastructures, such as X.509. The design of
        GNS incorporates the capability to integrate and coexist with DNS. GNS is based
        on the principle of a petname system and builds on ideas from the Simple
        Distributed Security Infrastructure (SDSI), addressing a central issue with the
        decentralized mapping of secure identifiers to memorable names: namely the
        impossibility of providing a global, secure and memorable mapping without a
        trusted authority. GNS uses the transitivity in the SDSI design to replace the
        trusted root with secure delegation of authority, thus making petnames useful to
        other users while operating under a very strong adversary model. In addition to
        describing the GNS design, we also discuss some of the mechanisms that are needed
        to smoothly integrate GNS with existing processes and procedures in Web browsers.
        Specifically, we show how GNS is able to transparently support many assumptions

        cooperative game (also called the bargaining problem) provides an overall picture
        for the issue. With a simple model for Internet quality of service (QoS), we
        demonstrate that the leader-follower game may lead to a solution that is not

        may provide a better solution for both the Internet service provider (ISP) and

        In this approach, security is achieved in a fully self-organized manner; by this
        we mean that the security system does not require any kind of certification
        authority or centralized server, even for the initialization phase. In our work,
        we were inspired by PGP [15] because its operation relies solely on the
        acquaintances between users. We show that the small-world phenomenon naturally
        emerges in the PGP system as a consequence of the self-organization of users. We
        show this by studying the PGP certificate graph properties and by quantifying its
        small-world characteristics. We argue that the certificate graphs of
        self-organized security systems will exhibit a similar small-world phenomenon,
        and we provide a way to model self-organized certificate graphs. The results of
        the PGP certificate graph analysis and graph modelling can be used to build new
        self-organized security systems and to test the performance of the existing
        proposals. In this work, we refer to such an example},

        geographic layout, proximity routing and proximity neighbour selection. In this

        interior nodes are highly-available, dedicated infrastructure routers but it
        poses a problem for application-level multicast in peer-to-peer systems.
        SplitStream addresses this problem by striping the content across a forest of
        interior-node-disjoint multicast trees that distributes the forwarding load among
        all participating peers. For example, it is possible to construct efficient
        SplitStream forests in which each peer contributes only as much forwarding
        bandwidth as it receives. Furthermore, with appropriate content encodings,
        SplitStream is highly robust to failures because a node failure causes the loss
        of a single stripe on average. We present the design and implementation of
        SplitStream and show experimental results obtained on an Internet testbed and via
        large-scale network simulation. The results show that SplitStream distributes the
        forwarding load among all peers and can accommodate peers with different

        and cost e ective to share a file system among several machines over a local (but
        possibly also a wide) area network. One of the most successful and widely used
        such applications is Sun's Network File System (NFS). NFS is very simple in
        structure but assumes a very strong trust model: the user trusts the remote le
        system server (which might be running on a machine in di erent country) and a
        network with his/her data. It is easy to see that neither assumption is a very
        realistic one. The server (or anybody with superuser privileges) might very well
        read the data on its local lesytem and it is well known that the Internet or any
        local area network (e.g, Ethernet) is very easy to tap (see for example,
        Berkeley's tcpdump 7, 5] application program). Impersoni cation of users is also
        another security drawback of NFS. In fact, most of the permission checking over
        NFS are performed in the kernel of the client. In such a context a pirate can
        temporarely assign to his own workstation the Internet address of victim. Without
        secure RPC 9] no further authentication procedure is requested. From here on, the
        pirate can issue NFS requests presenting himself with any (false) uid and
        therefore accessing for reading and writing any private data on the server, even
        protected data. Given the above, a user seeking a certain level of security
        should take some measures. Possible solutions are to use either user-level
        cryptography or application level cryptography. A discussion of the drawbacks of
        these approaches is found in 4]. A better approach is to push encryption services
        into the operating system as done by M. Blaze in the design of his CFS 4]. In
        this paper, we propose a new cryptographic le system, which we call TCFS , as a
        suitable solution to the problem of privacy for distributed le system (see
        section 2.1). Our work improves on CFS by providing a deeper integration between
        the encryption service and the le system which results in a complete transparency
        of use to the user applications},

  abstract = {A foundational issue underlying many overlay network applications ranging
        from routing to peer-to-peer file sharing is that of connectivity management,
        i.e., folding new arrivals into an existing overlay, and re-wiring to cope with
        changing network conditions. Previous work has considered the problem from two
        perspectives: devising practical heuristics for specific applications designed to
        work well in real deployments, and providing abstractions for the underlying
        problem that are analytically tractable, especially via game-theoretic analysis.
        In this paper, we unify these two thrusts by using insights gleaned from novel,
        realistic theoretic models in the design of Egoist -- a distributed overlay
        routing system that we implemented, deployed, and evaluated on PlanetLab. Using
        extensive measurements of paths between nodes, we demonstrate that Egoist's
        neighbor selection primitives significantly outperform existing heuristics on a
        variety of performance metrics, including delay, available bandwidth, and node
        utilization. Moreover, we demonstrate that Egoist is competitive with an optimal,
        but unscalable full-mesh approach, remains highly effective under significant
        churn, is robust to cheating, and incurs minimal overhead. Finally, we use a
        multiplayer peer-to-peer game to demonstrate the value of Egoist to end-user
        applications},

        malicious nodes (e.g., DoS attackers) can overwhelm the system by issuing too
        many requests in a short interval of time. Since peer-to-peer systems are
        decentralized, it is difficult for individual peers to limit the aggregate
        download bandwidth consumed by other remote peers. This could potentially allow
        selfish and malicious peers to exhaust the system's available upload bandwidth.
        In this paper, we propose a framework to provide a solution to this problem by
        utilizing a subset of trusted peers (called kantoku nodes) that collectively
        monitor the bandwidth usage of untrusted peers in the system and throttle
        attackers. This framework has been evaluated through simulation thus far.

        Internet hosts. Vivaldi finds synthetic coordinates that predict the measured

        range of private authentication and identity management scenarios are addressed
        by GNS in a cost-efficient, usable and secure manner. This simple, secure and
        privacy-friendly authentication method is a significant breakthrough when cyber
        peace, privacy and liability are the priorities for the benefit of a wide range
        of the population. After an introduction to GNS itself, we show how GNS can be
        used to authenticate servers, replacing the Domain Name System (DNS) and X.509
        certificate authorities (CAs) with a more privacy-friendly but equally usable
        protocol which is trustworthy, human-centric and includes group authentication.
        We also built a demonstrator to highlight how GNS can be used in medical
        computing to simplify privacy-sensitive data processing in the Swiss health-care
        system. Combining GNS with attribute-based encryption, we created ReclaimID, a
        robust and reliable OpenID Connect-compatible authorization system. It includes
        simple, secure and privacy-friendly single sign-on to seamlessly share selected
        attributes with Web services, cloud ecosystems. Further, we demonstrate how
        ReclaimID can be used to solve the problem of addressing, authentication and data
        sharing for IoT devices. These applications are just the beginning for GNS; the
        versatility and extensibility of the protocol will lend itself to an even broader
        range of use-cases. GNS is an open standard with a complete free software
        reference implementation created by the GNU project. It can therefore be easily
        audited, adapted, enhanced, tailored, developed and/or integrated, as anyone is
        allowed to use the core protocols and implementations free of charge, and to
        adopt them to their needs under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public
        License, a free software license approved by the Free Software Foundation.},

  abstract = {Tor is an anonymous communications network with thousands of router nodes
        worldwide. An intuition reflected in much of the literature on anonymous
        communications is that, as an anonymity network grows, it becomes more secure
        against a given observer because the observer will see less of the network. In
        particular, as the Tor network grows from volunteers operating relays all over
        the world, it becomes less and less likely for a single autonomous system (AS) to
        be able to observe both ends of an anonymous connection. Yet, as the network
        continues to grow significantly, no analysis has been done to determine if this
        intuition is correct. Further, modifications to Tor's path selection algorithm to
        help clients avoid an AS-level observer have not been proposed and analyzed. Five
        years ago a previous study examined the AS-level threat against client and
        destination addresses chosen a priori to be likely or interesting to examine.
        Using an AS-level path inference algorithm with improved accuracy, more extensive
        Internet routing data, and, most importantly, a model of typical Tor client
        AS-level sources and destinations based on data gathered from the live network,
        we demonstrate that the threat of a single AS observing both ends of an anonymous
        Tor connection is greater than previously thought. We look at the growth of the
        Tor network over the past five years and show that its explosive growth has had
        only a small impact on the network's robustness against an AS-level attacker.
        Finally, we propose and evaluate the effectiveness of some simple, AS-aware path
        selection algorithms that avoid the computational overhead imposed by full
        AS-level path inference algorithms. Our results indicate that a novel heuristic
        we propose is more effective against an AS-level observer than other commonly
        proposed heuristics for improving location diversity in path selection},

        passive eavesdroppers from linking communicating parties. However, using
        long-term statistical analysis of traffic sent to and from such a system, it is
        possible to link senders with their receivers. Cover traffic is an effective, but
        somewhat limited, counter strategy against this attack. Earlier work in this area
        proposes that privacy-sensitive users generate and send cover traffic to the
        system. However, users are not online all the time and cannot be expected to send
        consistent levels of cover traffic, drastically reducing the impact of cover
        traffic. We propose that the mix generate cover traffic that mimics the sending
        patterns of users in the system. This receiver-bound cover helps to make up for
        users that aren't there, confusing the attacker. We show through simulation how
        this makes it difficult for an attacker to discern cover from real traffic and
        perform attacks based on statistical analysis. Our results show that
        receiver-bound cover substantially increases the time required for these attacks

        improves the efficiency in producing multiple seeds and reduces the uploading
        cost of the initial seeders. However, the overall benefit of super seeding
        remains a question. In this paper, we conduct an experimental study over the
        performance of super-seeding scheme of BitTornado. We attempt to answer the
        following questions: whether and how much super-seeding saves uploading cost,
        whether the download time of all peers is decreased by super-seeding, and in
        which scenario super-seeding performs worse. With varying seed bandwidth and peer
        behavior, we analyze the overall download time and upload cost of super seeding
        scheme during random period tests over 250 widely distributed PlanetLab nodes.
        The results show that benefits of super-seeding depend highly on the upload
        bandwidth of the initial seeds and the behavior of individual peers. Our work not

        successful in reducing free-loading in peer-to-peer overlays, it has been shown
        that, unless the contribution network is dense, they tend to be slow (or may even
        fail) to converge [1]. On the other hand, current indirect reciprocity mechanisms
        based on reputation systems tend to be susceptible to sybil attacks, peer slander
        and whitewashing.In this paper we present PledgeRoute, an accounting mechanism
        for peer contributions that is based on social capital. This mechanism allows
        peers to contribute resources to one set of peers and use this contribution to
        obtain services from a different set of peers, at a different time. PledgeRoute
        is completely decentralised, can be implemented in both structured and
        unstructured peer-to-peer systems, and it is resistant to the three kinds of
        attacks mentioned above.To achieve this, we model contribution transitivity as a
        routing problem in the contribution network of the peer-to-peer overlay, and we
        present arguments for the routing behaviour and the sybilproofness of our
        contribution transfer procedures on this basis. Additionally, we present
        mechanisms for the seeding of the contribution network, and a combination of

        This challenge cannot be fully met by traditional incentive schemes, which suffer
        from various attacks based on false reports. Especially, due to the lack of
        central authorities in typical P2P systems, it is difficult to detect colluding
        groups. Members in the same colluding group can cooperate to manipulate their
        history information, and the damaging power increases dramatically with the group
        size. In this paper, we propose a new distributed incentive scheme, in which the
        benefit that a node can obtain from the system is proportional to its
        contribution to the system, and a colluding group cannot gain advantage by
        cooperation regardless of its size. Consequently, the damaging power of colluding
        groups is strictly limited. The proposed scheme includes three major components:
        a distributed authority infrastructure, a key sharing protocol, and a contract

        but are used in contexts that put them at risk of physical damage, loss or theft.
        This paper discusses security considerations that arise in the design of a
        cooperative backup service for mobile devices. Participating devices leverage
        encounters with other devices to temporarily replicate critical data. Anyone is
        free to participate in the cooperative service, without requiring any prior trust
        relationship with other participants. In this paper, we identify security threats
        relevant in this context as well as possible solutions and discuss how they map
        to low-level security requirements related to identity and trust establishment.
        We propose self-organized, policy-neutral mechanisms that allow the secure
        designation and identification of participating devices. We show that they can
        serve as a building block for a wide range of cooperation policies that address
        most of the security threats we are concerned with. We conclude on future
        directions},

        broadband Internet infrastructure (even at the network edge) became widely

        specific infrastructure offering transport services. Instead they form
        {\textquotedblleft}overlay structures{\textquotedblright} focusing on content
        allocation and distribution based on TCP or HTTP connections. Whereas in a
        standard Client-Server configuration content is stored and provided only via some
        central server(s), Peer-to-Peer networks are highly decentralized and locate a
        desired content at some participating peer and provide the corresponding IP
        address of that peer to the searching peer. The download of that content is then
        initiated using a separate connection, often using HTTP. Thus, the high load
        usually resulting for a central server and its surrounding network is avoided
        leading to a more even distribution of load on the underlying physical network.
        On the other hand, such networks are typically subject to frequent changes
        because peers join and leave the network without any central control},

        precisely known network dynamics, which does not account for message losses due
        to link failures, buffer overruns, path selection errors, unscheduled delays, or
        other problems. We show how to split, replicate, and erasure code message
        fragments over multiple delivery paths to optimize the probability of successful
        message delivery. We provide a formulation of this problem and solve it for two
        cases: a 0/1 (Bernoulli) path delivery model where messages are either fully lost
        or delivered, and a Gaussian path delivery model where only a fraction of a
        message may be delivered. Ideas from the modern portfolio theory literature are
        borrowed to solve the underlying optimization problem. Our approach is directly
        relevant to solving similar problems that arise in replica placement in
        distributed file systems and virtual node placement in DHTs. In three different

        used web applications today tend toward centralization. Control increasingly
        rests with centralized service providers who, as a consequence, have also amassed
        unprecedented amounts of data about the behaviors and personalities of
        individuals. Developers, regulators, and consumer advocates have looked to
        alternative decentralized architectures as the natural response to threats posed
        by these centralized services. The result has been a great variety of solutions
        that include personal data stores (PDS), infomediaries, Vendor Relationship
        Management (VRM) systems, and federated and distributed social networks. And yet,
        for all these efforts, decentralized personal data architectures have seen little
        adoption. This position paper attempts to account for these failures, challenging
        the accepted wisdom in the web community on the feasibility and desirability of
        these approaches. We start with a historical discussion of the development of
        various categories of decentralized personal data architectures. Then we survey
        the main ideas to illustrate the common themes among these efforts. We tease
        apart the design characteristics of these systems from the social values that
        they (are intended to) promote. We use this understanding to point out numerous
        drawbacks of the decentralization paradigm, some inherent and others incidental.
        We end with recommendations for designers of these systems for working towards
        goals that are achievable, but perhaps more limited in scope and ambition},

        data can have been produced and then lost. To handle this issue, we propose a
        transparent collaborative backup system. Indeed, by saving data on other mobile
        devices between two connections to a global infrastructure, we can resist to such
        scenarios. In this paper, after a general description of such a system, we

        high-throughput and low-latency network storage is a challenge. Existing systems
        have explored a range of solutions, including iterative routing, recursive
        routing, proximity routing and neighbor selection, erasure coding, replication,
        and server selection. This paper explores the design of these techniques and
        their interaction in a complete system, drawing on the measured performance of a
        new DHT implementation and results from a simulator with an accurate Internet
        latency model. New techniques that resulted from this exploration include use of
        latency predictions based on synthetic co-ordinates, efficient integration of
        lookup routing and data fetching, and a congestion control mechanism suitable for
        fetching data striped over large numbers of servers. Measurements with 425 server
        instances running on 150 PlanetLab and RON hosts show that the latency
        optimizations reduce the time required to locate and fetch data by a factor of
        two. The throughput optimizations result in a sustainable bulk read throughput
        related to the number of DHT hosts times the capacity of the slowest access link;
        with 150 selected PlanetLab hosts, the peak aggregate throughput over multiple
        clients is 12.8 megabytes per second},

        round-trip times to other hosts without having to contact them first. Explicit
        measurements are often unattractive because the cost of measurement can outweigh
        the benefits of exploiting proximity information. Vivaldi is a simple,
        light-weight algorithm that assigns synthetic coordinates to hosts such that the
        distance between the coordinates of two hosts accurately predicts the
        communication latency between the hosts. Vivaldi is fully distributed, requiring
        no fixed network infrastructure and no distinguished hosts. It is also efficient:
        a new host can compute good coordinates for itself after collecting latency
        information from only a few other hosts. Because it requires little
        com-munication, Vivaldi can piggy-back on the communication patterns of the
        application using it and scale to a large number of hosts. An evaluation of
        Vivaldi using a simulated network whose latencies are based on measurements among
        1740 Internet hosts shows that a 2-dimensional Euclidean model with height
        vectors embeds these hosts with low error (the median relative error in

        redundancy spread over individually unreliable nodes. Application scenarios
        include data centers, peer-to-peer storage systems, and storage in wireless
        networks. Storing data using an erasure code, in fragments spread across nodes,
        requires less redundancy than simple replication for the same level of
        reliability. However, since fragments must be periodically replaced as nodes
        fail, a key question is how to generate encoded fragments in a distributed way
        while transferring as little data as possible across the network. For an erasure
        coded system, a common practice to repair from a single node failure is for a new
        node to reconstruct the whole encoded data object to generate just one encoded
        block. We show that this procedure is sub-optimal. We introduce the notion of
        regenerating codes, which allow a new node to communicate functions of the stored
        data from the surviving nodes. We show that regenerating codes can significantly
        reduce the repair bandwidth. Further, we show that there is a fundamental
        tradeoff between storage and repair bandwidth which we theoretically characterize
        using flow arguments on an appropriately constructed graph. By invoking
        constructive results in network coding, we introduce regenerating codes that can
        achieve any point in this optimal tradeoff},

  abstract = {Any entity operating in cyberspace is susceptible to debilitating attacks.
        With cyber attacks intended to gather intelligence and disrupt communications
        rapidly replacing the threat of conventional and nuclear attacks, a new age of
        warfare is at hand. In 2003, the United States acknowledged that the speed and
        anonymity of cyber attacks makes distinguishing among the actions of terrorists,
        criminals, and nation states difficult. Even President Obama's Cybersecurity
        Chief-elect feels challenged by the increasing sophistication of cyber attacks.
        Indeed, the rising quantity and ubiquity of new surveillance technologies in
        cyberspace enables instant, undetectable, and unsolicited information collection
        about entities. Hence, anonymity and privacy are becoming increasingly important
        issues. Anonymization enables entities to protect their data and systems from a
        diverse set of cyber attacks and preserve privacy. This research provides a
        systematic analysis of anonymity degradation, preservation and elimination in
        cyberspace to enchance the security of information assets. This includes
        discovery/obfuscation of identities and actions of/from potential adversaries.
        First, novel taxonomies are developed for classifying and comparing the wide
        variety of well-established and state-of-the-art anonymous networking protocols.
        These expand the classical definition of anonymity and are the first known to
        capture the peer-to-peer and mobile ad hoc anonymous protocol family
        relationships. Second, a unique synthesis of state-of-the-art anonymity metrics
        is provided. This significantly aids an entities ability to reliably measure
        changing anonymity levels; thereby, increasing their ability to defend against
        cyber attacks. Finally, a novel epistemic-based model is created to characterize
        how an adversary reasons with knowledge to degrade anonymity},

        solution to add redundancy to stored data while limiting the storage overhead.
        They are able to provide the same reliability as replication requiring much less
        storage space. Erasure coding breaks the data into pieces that are encoded and
        then stored on different nodes. However, when storage nodes permanently abandon
        the system, new redundant pieces must be created. For erasure codes, generating a
        new piece requires the transmission of k pieces over the network, resulting in a
        k times higher reconstruction traffic as compared to replication. Dimakis
        proposed a new class of codes, called Regenerating Codes, which are able to
        provide both the storage efficiency of erasure codes and the communication
        efficiency of replication. However, Dimakis gave only a theoretical description
        of the codes without discussing implementation issues or computational costs. We
        have done a real implementation of Random Linear Regenerating Codes that allows
        us to measure their computational cost, which can be significant if the
        parameters are not chosen properly. However, we also find that there exist
        parameter values that result in a significant reduction of the communication
        overhead at the expense of a small increase in storage cost and computation,
        which makes these codes very attractive for distributed storage systems},

        large scale. One exception is KAD, a DHT based on Kademlia, which is part of
        eDonkey, a peer-to-peer file sharing system with several million simultaneous
        users. We have been crawling a representative subset of KAD every five minutes

        so-called KAD ID, which up to now was assumed to be persistent. However, we

        system that provides incentives for good behavior. Under certain assumptions, we

        the robustness of this scheme in the presence of noise and malicious nodes, and
        we examine some of the design trade-offs. We also evaluate some possible

  abstract = {Backup is cumbersome. To be effective, backups have to be made at regular
        intervals, forcing users to organize and store a growing collection of backup
        media. In this paper we propose a novel Peer-to-Peer backup system, PeerStore,
        that allows the user to store his backups on other people's computers instead.
        PeerStore is an adaptive, cost-effective system suitable for all types of
        networks ranging from LAN, WAN to large unstable networks like the Internet. The
        system consists of two layers: metadata layer and symmetric trading layer.
        Locating blocks and duplicate checking is accomplished by the metadata layer
        while the actual data distribution is done between pairs of peers after they have
        established a symmetric data trade. By decoupling the metadata management from
        data storage, the system offers a significant reduction of the maintenance cost
        and preserves fairness among peers. Results show that PeerStore has a reduced
        maintenance cost comparing to pStore. PeerStore also realizes fairness because of
        the symmetric nature of the trades},

        Infranet, a system that enables clients to surreptitiously retrieve sensitive
        content via cooperating Web servers distributed across the global Internet. These
        Infranet servers provide clients access to censored sites while continuing to
        host normal uncensored content. Infranet uses a tunnel protocol that provides a
        covert communication channel between its clients and servers, modulated over
        standard HTTP transactions that resemble innocuous Web browsing. In the upstream
        direction, Infranet clients send covert messages to Infranet servers by
        associating meaning to the sequence of HTTP requests being made. In the
        downstream direction, Infranet servers return content by hiding censored data in
        uncensored images using steganographic techniques. We describe the design, a
        prototype implementation, security properties, and performance of Infranet. Our
        security analysis shows that Infranet can successfully circumvent several

        routing policies to choose interdomain routes in a distributed fashion. This
        expressiveness in routing-policy choice supports domains' autonomy in network
        operations and in business decisions, but it comes at a price: The interaction of
        locally defined routing policies can lead to unexpected global anomalies,
        including route oscillations or overall protocol divergence. Networking
        researchers have addressed this problem by devising constraints on policies that
        guarantee BGP convergence without unduly limiting expressiveness and autonomy.In
        addition to taking this engineering or "protocol-design" approach, researchers
        have approached interdomain routing from an economic or "mechanism-design" point
        of view. It is known that lowest-cost-path (LCP) routing can be implemented in a
        truthful, BGP-compatible manner but that several other natural classes of routing
        policies cannot. In this paper, we present a natural class of interdomain-routing
        policies that is more realistic than LCP routing and admits incentive-compatible,
        BGP-compatible implementation. We also present several positive steps toward a

        on Sensor and Ad Hoc Communications and Networks}, 
  year = {2005}, 
  abstract = {The design of efficient routing protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks is
        challenging for several reasons: Physical network topology is random. Nodes have
        limited computation and memory capabilities. Energy and bisection bandwidth are
        scarce. Furthermore, in most settings, the lack of centralized components leaves
        all network control tasks to the nodes acting as decentralized peers. In this
        paper, we present a novel routing algorithm, scalable source routing (SSR), which
        is capable of memory and message efficient routing in large random networks. A
        guiding example is a community of 'digital homes ' where smart sensors and
        actuators are installed by laypersons. Such networks combine wireless ad-hoc and
        infrastructure networks, and lack a well-crafted network topology. Typically, the
        nodes do not have sufficient processing and memory resources to perform
        sophisticated routing algorithms. Flooding on the other hand is too
        bandwidthconsuming in the envisaged large-scale networks. SSR is a fully
        self-organizing routing protocol for such scenarios. It creates a virtual ring
        that links all nodes via predecessor/successor source routes. Additionally, each
        node possesses O(log N) short-cut source routes to nodes in exponentially
        increasing virtual ring distance. Like with the Chord overlay network, this
        ensures full connectivity within the network. Moreover, it provides a routing
        semantic which can efficiently support indirection schemes like i3. Memory and
        message efficiency are achieved by the introduction of a route cache together
        with a set of path manipulation rules that allow to produce near-to-optimal
        paths},

  year = {2003}, 
  abstract = {AMnet is a programmable network that aims at the flexible and rapid creation
        of services within an IP network. Examples for typical services include network
        layer enhancements e.g. for multicast and mobility, transport layer enhancements
        e.g. to integrate wireless LANs, and various application layer services e.g. for
        media transcoding and content distribution. AMnet is based on regular Linux boxes
        that run an execution environment (EE), a resource monitor, and a basic
        signaling-engine. These so-called active nodes run the services and provide
        support for resource-management and module-relocation. Services are created by
        service modules, small pieces of code, that are executed within the EE. Based on
        the standard netfilter mechanism of Linux, service modules have full access to
        the network traffic passing through the active node. This paper describes the
        evaluation mechanism for service setup in AMnet. In order to determine where a
        service module can be started, service modules are accompanied by evaluation
        modules. This allows service module authors to implement various customized
        strategies for node-selection and service setup. Examples that are supported by
        the AMnet evaluation mechanism are a) service setup at a fixed position, e.g. as
        gateway, b) along a fixed path (with variable position along that path), c) at
        variable positions inside the network with preferences for certain
        constellations, or d) at an unspecified position, e.g. for modification of
        multicasted traffic. The required path information is gathered by the AMnodes
        present in the network. By interaction with the resource monitors of the AMnodes
        and the service module repository of the respective administrative domain, the
        AMnet evaluation also ensures overall system security and stability},

  abstract = {The continued miniaturization in computing and wireless communication is
        about to make informationally enhanced environments become a reality. Already
        today, devices like a notebook computer or a personal digital assistent (PDA) can
        easily connect to the Internet via IEEE 802.11 networks (WaveLAN) or similar
        technologies provided at so-called hot-spots. In the near future, even smaller
        devices can join a wireless network to exchange status information or send and
        receive commands. In this paper, we present sample uses of a generic Bluetooth
        component that we have developed and that has been successfully integrated into
        various mininature devices to transmit sensor data or exchange control commands.
        The use of standard protocols like TCP/IP, Obex, and HTTP simplifies the use of
        those devices with conventional devices (notebook, PDA, cell-phone) without even
        requiring special drivers or applications for these devices. While such scenarios
        have already often been dreamt of, we are able to present a working solution
        based on small and cost-effective standard elements. We describe two applications
        that illustrate the power this approach in the broad area of e-commerce,
        e-learning, and e-government: the BlueWand, a small, pen-like device that can
        control Bluetooth devices in its vincinity by simple gestures, and a door plate
        that can display messages that are posted to it e.g. by a Bluetooth PDA.

        properties of anonymous communication protocols in terms of epistemic logic.The
        key ingredient is our notion of observational equivalence, which is based on the
        cryptographic structure of messages and relations between otherwise random
        looking messages. Two runs are considered observationally equivalent if a spy
        cannot discover any meaningful distinction between them.We illustrate our
        approach by proving sender anonymity and unlinkability for two anonymizing
        protocols, Onion Routing and Crowds. Moreover, we consider a version of Onion
        Routing in which we inject a subtle error and show how our framework is capable
        of capturing this flaw},

  abstract = {Recently, David Chaum proposed an electronic voting scheme that combines
        visual cryptography and digital processing. It was designed to meet not only
        mathematical security standards, but also to be accepted by voters that do not
        trust electronic devices. In this scheme mix-servers are used to guarantee
        anonymity of the votes in the counting process. The mix-servers are operated by
        different parties, so an evidence of their correct operation is necessary. For
        this purpose the protocol uses randomized partial checking of Jakobsson et al.,
        where some randomly selected connections between the (encoded) inputs and outputs
        of a mix-server are revealed. This leaks some information about the ballots, even
        if intuitively this information cannot be used for any efficient attack. We
        provide a rigorous stochastic analysis of how much information is revealed by
        randomized partial checking in the Chaums protocol. We estimate how many
        mix-servers are necessary for a fair security level. Namely, we consider
        probability distribution of the permutations linking the encoded votes with the
        decoded votes given the information revealed by randomized partial checking. We
        show that the variation distance between this distribution and the uniform
        distribution is already for a constant number of mix-servers (n is the number of
        voters). This means that a constant number of trustees in the Chaums protocol is
        enough to obtain provable security. The analysis also shows that certain details
        of the Chaums protocol can be simplified without lowering security level},

  abstract = {In his seminal work Harsanyi introduced an elegant approach to study
        non-cooperative games with incomplete information where the players are uncertain
        about some parameters. To model such games he introduced the Harsanyi
        transformation, which converts a game with incomplete information to a strategic
        game where players may have different types. In the resulting Bayesian game
        players' uncertainty about each others types is described by a probability
        distribution over all possible type profiles.In this work, we introduce a
        particular selfish routing game with incomplete information that we call Bayesian
        routing game. Here, n selfish users wish to assign their traffic to one of m
        links. Users do not know each others traffic. Following Harsanyi's approach, we
        introduce for each user a set of possible types.This paper presents a
        comprehensive collection of results for the Bayesian routing game.We prove, with
        help of a potential function, that every Bayesian routing game possesses a pure
        Bayesian Nash equilibrium. For the model of identical links and independent type
        distribution we give a polynomial time algorithm to compute a pure Bayesian Nash
        equilibrium.We study structural properties of fully mixed Bayesian Nash
        equilibria for the model of identical links and show that they maximize
        individual cost. In general there exists more than one fully mixed Bayesian Nash
        equilibrium. We characterize the class of fully mixed Bayesian Nash equilibria in
        the case of independent type distribution.We conclude with results on
        coordination ratio for the model of identical links for three social cost
        measures, that is, social cost as expected maximum congestion, sum of individual
        costs and maximum individual cost. For the latter two we are able to give
        (asymptotic) tight bounds using our results on fully mixed Bayesian Nash
        equilibria.To the best of our knowledge this is the first time that mixed
        Bayesian Nash equilibria have been studied in conjunction with social cost},

        implement TinyOS, a small operating system for sensor networks, as well as
        several significant sensor applications. nesC and TinyOS have been adopted by a
        large number of sensor network research groups, and our experience and evaluation

        in the set of participating nodes due to joins, graceful leaves, and failures. A
        high churn rate can increase costs or decrease service quality. This paper
        studies how to reduce churn by selecting which subset of a set of available nodes
        to use.First, we provide a comparison of the performance of a range of different
        node selection strategies in five real-world traces. Among our findings is that
        the simple strategy of picking a uniform-random replacement whenever a node fails
        performs surprisingly well. We explain its performance through analysis in a
        stochastic model.Second, we show that a class of strategies, which we call
        "Preference List" strategies, arise commonly as a result of optimizing for a
        metric other than churn, and produce high churn relative to more randomized
        strategies under realistic node failure patterns. Using this insight, we
        demonstrate and explain differences in performance for designs that incorporate
        varying degrees of randomization. We give examples from a variety of protocols,

        enhancements and restrictions on routing policies can ensure that ASes have no
        incentive to lie about their data-plane paths. We find that protocols like S-BGP
        alone are insufficient, but that S-BGP does suffice if coupled with additional

        operates by dynamically building anonymous connections within a network of

        number of fixed-length messages from numerous sources, performs cryptographic
        transformations on the messages, and then forwards the messages to the next
        destination in a random order. A single Mix makes tracking of a particular
        message either by specific bit-pattern, size, or ordering with respect to other
        messages difficult. By routing through numerous Mixes in the network, determining
        who is talking to whom becomes even more difficult. Onion Routing's network of
        core onion-routers (Mixes) is distributed, faulttolerant, and under the control
        of multiple administrative domains, so no single onion-router can bring down the
        network or compromise a user's privacy, and cooperation between compromised
        onion-routers is thereby confounded},

        feasible to deter such unauthorized disclosures by bundling them with additional

        customizable resources. This article introduces the notion of trace-deterring
        mix-networks, which encode collateral keys for every server-node into every
        end-to-end message trace. The network reveals no keying material when the
        input-to-output transitions of individual servers remain secret. Two permutation
        strategies for encoding key information into traces, mix-and-flip and
        all-or-nothing, are presented. We analyze their trade-offs with respect to
        computational efficiency, anonymity sets, and colluding message senders. Our

        re-encryption leads to new types of functionality in mixnet architectures.
        Conventional mixnets are often called upon to enable players to communicate with
        one another through channels that are externally anonymous, i.e., that hide
        information permitting traffic-analysis. Universal re-encryption lets us
        construct a mixnet of this kind in which servers hold no public or private keying

        resources. Unfortunately, however, it has been shown that most of today's p2p
        networks suffer from a large fraction of free-riders, which mostly consume
        resources without contributing much to the system themselves. This results in an
        overall performance degradation. One particularly interesting resource is
        bandwidth. Thereby, a service differentiation approach seems appropriate, where
        peers contributing higher upload bandwidth are rewarded with higher download
        bandwidth in return. Keeping track of the contribution of each peer in an open,
        decentralized environment, however, is not trivial; many systems which have been
        proposed are susceptible to false reports. Besides being prone to attacks, some
        solutions have a large communication and computation overhead, which can even be
        linear in the number of transactions{\textemdash}an unacceptable burden in
        practical and active systems. In this paper, we propose a reputation system which
        overcomes this scaling problem. Our analytical and simulation results are

        even for single-torrent models, due to some unrealistic assumptions. Our analysis
        of representative Bit-Torrent traffic provides several new findings regarding the
        limitations of BitTorrent systems: (1) Due to the exponentially decreasing peer
        arrival rate in reality, service availability in such systems becomes poor
        quickly, after which it is difficult for the file to be located and downloaded.
        (2) Client performance in the BitTorrent-like systems is unstable, and fluctuates
        widely with the peer population. (3) Existing systems could provide unfair
        services to peers, where peers with high downloading speed tend to download more
        and upload less. In this paper, we study these limitations on torrent evolution
        in realistic environments. Motivated by the analysis and modeling results, we
        further build a graph based multi-torrent model to study inter-torrent
        collaboration. Our model quantitatively provides strong motivation for
        inter-torrent collaboration instead of directly stimulating seeds to stay longer.

        This paper explores a new point in design space in which increased memory usage
        and constant background communication overheads are tolerated to reduce file
        lookup times and increase stability to failures and churn. Our system, called
        Kelips, uses peer-to-peer gossip to partially replicate file index information.
        In Kelips, (a) under normal conditions, file lookups are resolved with O(1) time
        and complexity (i.e., independent of system size), and (b) membership changes
        (e.g., even when a large number of nodes fail) are detected and disseminated to
        the system quickly. Per-node memory requirements are small in medium-sized
        systems. When there are failures, lookup success is ensured through query
        rerouting. Kelips achieves load balancing comparable to existing systems.

        so that only designated subsets of users can decrypt each program. The stateless
        variant of this problem provides each user with a fixed set of keys which is
        never updated. The best scheme published so far for this problem is the "subset
        difference" (SD) technique of Naor Naor and Lotspiech, in which each one of the n
        users is initially given O(log2(n)) symmetric encryption keys. This allows the
        broadcaster to define at a later stage any subset of up to r users as "revoked",
        and to make the program accessible only to their complement by sending O(r) short
        messages before the encrypted program, and asking each user to perform an
        O(log(n)) computation. In this paper we describe the "Layered Subset Difference"
        (LSD) technique, which achieves the same goal with O(log1+{\textquestiondown}(n))
        keys, O(r) messages, and O(log(n)) computation. This reduces the number of keys
        given to each user by almost a square root factor without affecting the other
        parameters. In addition, we show how to use the same LSD keys in order to address
        any subset defined by a nested combination of inclusion and exclusion conditions
        with a number of messages which is proportional to the complexity of the
        description rather than to the size of the subset. The LSD scheme is truly
        practical, and makes it possible to broadcast an unlimited number of programs to
        256,000,000 possible customers by giving each new customer a smart card with one
        kilobyte of tamper-resistant memory. It is then possible to address any subset
        defined by t nested inclusion and exclusion conditions by sending less than 4t
        short messages, and the scheme remains secure even if all the other users form an
        adversarial coalition},

  abstract = {Mechanism design is now a standard tool in computer science for aligning the
        incentives of self-interested agents with the objectives of a system designer.
        There is, however, a fundamental disconnect between the traditional application
        domains of mechanism design (such as auctions) and those arising in computer
        science (such as networks): while monetary "transfers" (i.e., payments) are
        essential for most of the known positive results in mechanism design, they are
        undesirable or even technologically infeasible in many computer systems.
        Classical impossibility results imply that the reach of mechanisms without
        transfers is severely limited. Computer systems typically do have the ability to
        reduce service quality--routing systems can drop or delay traffic, scheduling
        protocols can delay the release of jobs, and computational payment schemes can
        require computational payments from users (e.g., in spam-fighting systems).
        Service degradation is tantamount to requiring that users "burn money", and such
        "payments" can be used to influence the preferences of the agents at a cost of
        degrading the social surplus. We develop a framework for the design and analysis
        of "money-burning mechanisms" to maximize the residual surplus-the total value of
        the chosen outcome minus the payments required. Our primary contributions are the
        following. * We define a general template for prior-free optimal mechanism design
        that explicitly connects Bayesian optimal mechanism design, the dominant paradigm
        in economics, with worst-case analysis. In particular, we establish a general and
        principled way to identify appropriate performance benchmarks in prior-free
        mechanism design. * For general single-parameter agent settings, we characterize
        the Bayesian optimal money-burning mechanism. * For multi-unit auctions, we
        design a near-optimal prior-free money-burning mechanism: for every valuation
        profile, its expected residual surplus is within a constant factor of our
        benchmark, the residual surplus of the best Bayesian optimal mechanism for this
        profile. * For multi-unit auctions, we quantify the benefit of general transfers
        over money-burning: optimal money-burning mechanisms always obtain a logarithmic
        fraction of the full social surplus, and this bound is tight},

  abstract = {Vesta is a system for software configuration management. It stores
        collections of source files, keeps track of which versions of which files go
        together, and automates the process of building a complete software artifact from
        its component pieces. Vesta's novel approach gives it three important properties.
        First, every build is repeatable, because its component sources and build tools
        are stored immutably and immortally, and its configuration description completely
        specifies what components and tools are used and how they are put together.
        Second, every build is incremental, because results of previous builds are cached
        and reused. Third, every build is consistent, because all build dependencies are
        automatically captured and recorded, so that a cached result from a previous
        build is reused only when doing so is certain to be correct. In addition, Vesta's
        flexible language for writing configuration descriptions makes it easy to
        describe large software configurations in a modular fashion and to create variant
        configurations by customizing build parameters. This paper gives a brief overview

        channel. Traffic patterns through one channel have observable effects on the

        fixed quality of service to each connection, regardless of other traffic, thus
        reducing capacity but resisting such interference attacks. However, even if each
        connection does not influence the others, total throughput would still affect the

        result of temperature on clock skew can be remotely detected through observing
        timestamps. This attack works because existing abstract models of
        anonymity-network nodes do not take into account the inevitable imperfections of

        reaching a scale and a level of importance where such secret-key systems are
        becoming impractical. For example, the civilian side of the Global Positioning
        System (GPS) cannot use a shared secret, since that secret would have to be given
        to all 6.5 billion potential users, and so would no longer be secret. So civilian

        is important. There is a great need for a system that can broadcast messages

  abstract = {In an n-way broadcast application each one of n overlay nodes wants to push
        its own distinct large data file to all other n-1 destinations as well as
        download their respective data files. BitTorrent-like swarming protocols are
        ideal choices for handling such massive data volume transfers. The original
        BitTorrent targets one-to-many broadcasts of a single file to a very large number
        of receivers and thus, by necessity, employs an almost random overlay topology.
        n-way broadcast applications on the other hand, owing to their inherent n-squared
        nature, are realizable only in small to medium scale networks. In this paper, we
        show that we can leverage this scale constraint to construct optimized overlay
        topologies that take into consideration the end-to-end characteristics of the
        network and as a consequence deliver far superior performance compared to random
        and myopic (local) approaches. We present the Max-Min and Max- Sum peer-selection
        policies used by individual nodes to select their neighbors. The first one
        strives to maximize the available bandwidth to the slowest destination, while the
        second maximizes the aggregate output rate. We design a swarming protocol
        suitable for n-way broadcast and operate it on top of overlay graphs formed by
        nodes that employ Max-Min or Max-Sum policies. Using trace-driven simulation and
        measurements from a PlanetLab prototype implementation, we demonstrate that the
        performance of swarming on top of our constructed topologies is far superior to
        the performance of random and myopic overlays. Moreover, we show how to modify
        our swarming protocol to allow it to accommodate selfish nodes},

        This paper proposes a new self-recharging virtual currency model as a common
        medium of exchange in a computational market. The key idea is to recycle currency
        through the economy automatically while bounding the rate of spending by
        consumers. Currency budgets may be distributed among consumers according to any
        global policy; consumers spend their budgets to schedule their resource usage
        through time, but cannot hoard their currency or starve.We outline the design and
        rationale for self-recharging currency in Cereus, a system for market-based
        community resource sharing, in which participants are authenticated and sanctions
        are sufficient to discourage fraudulent behavior. Currency transactions in Cereus
        are accountable: offline third-party audits can detect and prove cheating, so
        participants may transfer and recharge currency autonomously without involvement
        of the trusted banking service},

        incrementally deployed using today's Internet infrastructure. These properties
        stem from Overcast's implementation as an overlay network. An overlay network
        consists of a collection of nodes placed at strategic locations in an existing
        network fabric. These nodes implement a network abstraction on top of the network
        provided by the underlying substrate network. Overcast provides scalable and
        reliable single-source multicast using a simple protocol for building efficient
        data distribution trees that adapt to changing network conditions. To support
        fast joins, Overcast implements a new protocol for efficiently tracking the
        global status of a changing distribution tree. Results based on simulations
        confirm that Overcast provides its added functionality while performing
        competitively with IP Multicast. Simulations indicate that Overcast quickly
        builds bandwidth-efficient distribution trees that, compared to IP Multicast,
        provide 70\%-100\% of the total bandwidth possible, at a cost of somewhat less
        than twice the network load. In addition, Overcast adapts quickly to changes
        caused by the addition of new nodes or the failure of existing nodes without
        causing undue load on the multicast source},

  abstract = {As computer networks increase in size, become more heterogeneous and span
        greater geographic distances, applications must be designed to cope with the very
        large scale, poor reliability, and often, with the extreme dynamism of the
        underlying network. Aggregation is a key functional building block for such
        applications: it refers to a set of functions that provide components of a
        distributed system access to global information including network size, average
        load, average uptime, location and description of hotspots, and so on. Local
        access to global information is often very useful, if not indispensable for
        building applications that are robust and adaptive. For example, in an industrial
        control application, some aggregate value reaching a threshold may trigger the
        execution of certain actions; a distributed storage system will want to know the
        total available free space; load-balancing protocols may benefit from knowing the
        target average load so as to minimize the load they transfer. We propose a
        gossip-based protocol for computing aggregate values over network components in a
        fully decentralized fashion. The class of aggregate functions we can compute is
        very broad and includes many useful special cases such as counting, averages,
        sums, products, and extremal values. The protocol is suitable for extremely large
        and highly dynamic systems due to its proactive structure---all nodes receive the
        aggregate value continuously, thus being able to track any changes in the system.
        The protocol is also extremely lightweight, making it suitable for many
        distributed applications including peer-to-peer and grid computing systems. We
        demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of our gossip-based protocol both
        theoretically and experimentally under a variety of scenarios including node and
        communication failures},

        Linear State Space model and tracked by a Kalman filter. Then we show, that the
        obtained model can be generalized in the sense that the parameters of a
        filtercalibrated at a node can be used effectively to model and predict the
        dynamic behavior at another node, as long as the two nodes are not too far apart

        nodes are trusted, honest nodes that use each other exclusively to position
        themselves in the coordinate space, and are therefore immune to malicious
        behavior in the system.During their own coordinate embedding, other nodes can
        thenuse the filter parameters of a nearby Surveyor as a representation of normal,
        clean system behavior to detect and filter out abnormal or malicious activity. A

        the network effectively identifies malicious peers and isolates them from the

  abstract = {The Web has become a user-centric platform where users post, share, annotate,
        comment and forward content be it text, videos, pictures, URLs, etc. This social
        dimension creates tremendous new opportunities for information exchange over the
        Internet, as exemplified by the surprising and exponential growth of social
        networks and collaborative platforms. Yet, niche content is sometimes difficult
        to retrieve using traditional search engines because they target the mass rather
        than the individual. Likewise, relieving users from useless notification is
        tricky in a world where there is so much information and so little of interest
        for each and every one of us. We argue that ultra-specific content could be
        retrieved and disseminated should search and notification be personalized to fit
        this new setting. We also argue that users' interests should be implicitly
        captured by the system rather than relying on explicit classifications simply
        because the world is by nature unstructured, dynamic and users do not want to be
        hampered in their actions by a tight and static framework. In this paper, we
        review some existing personalization approaches, most of which are centralized.
        We then advocate the need for fully decentralized systems because personalization
        raises two main issues. Firstly, personalization requires information to be
        stored and maintained at a user granularity which can significantly hurt the
        scalability of a centralized solution. Secondly, at a time when the
        {\textquoteleft}big brother is watching you' attitude is prominent, users may be
        more and more reluctant to give away their personal data to the few large
        companies that can afford such personalization. We start by showing how to
        achieve personalization in decentralized systems and conclude with the research
        agenda ahead},

  abstract = {In this paper we study a scheme called P2P contract which explicitly
        specifies the resource contributions that are required from the peers. In
        particular, we consider a P2P file sharing system in which when a peer downloads
        the file it is required to serve the file to upto N other peers within a maximum
        period of time T. We study the behavior of this contribution scheme in both
        centralized and decentralized P2P networks. In a centralized architecture, new
        requests are forwarded to a central server which hands out the contract along
        with a list of peers from where the file can be downloaded. We show that a simple
        fixed contract (i.e., fixed values of N and T) is sufficient to create the
        required server capacity which adapts to the load. Furthermore, we show that T,
        the time part of the contract is a more important control parameter than N. In
        the case of a decentralized P2P architecture, each new request is broadcast to a
        certain neighborhood determined by the time-to-live (TTL) parameter. Each server
        receiving the request independently doles out a contract and the requesting peer
        chooses the one which is least constraining. If there are no servers in the
        neighborhood, the request fails. To achieve a good request success ratio, we
        propose an adaptive scheme to set the contracts without requiring global
        information. Through both analysis and simulation, we show that the proposed
        scheme adapts to the load and achieves low request failure rate with high server
        efficiency},

  abstract = {Availability is a storage system property that is both highly desired and yet
        minimally engineered. While many systems provide mechanisms to improve
        availability--such as redundancy and failure recovery--how to best configure
        these mechanisms is typically left to the system manager. Unfortunately, few
        individuals have the skills to properly manage the trade-offs involved, let alone
        the time to adapt these decisions to changing conditions. Instead, most systems
        are configured statically and with only a cursory understanding of how the
        configuration will impact overall performance or availability. While this issue
        can be problematic even for individual storage arrays, it becomes increasingly
        important as systems are distributed--and absolutely critical for the wide-area
        peer-to-peer storage infrastructures being explored. This paper describes the
        motivation, architecture and implementation for a new peer-to-peer storage
        system, called TotalRecall, that automates the task of availability management.
        In particular, the TotalRecall system automatically measures and estimates the
        availability of its constituent host components, predicts their future
        availability based on past behavior, calculates the appropriate redundancy
        mechanisms and repair policies, and delivers user-specified availability while
        maximizing efficiency},

  abstract = {We consider a model for monitoring the connectivity of a network subject to
        node or edge failures. In particular, we are concerned with detecting
        ({\epsilon}, k)-failures: events in which an adversary deletes up to network
        elements (nodes or edges), after which there are two sets of nodes A and B, each
        at least an {\epsilon} fraction of the network, that are disconnected from one
        another. We say that a set D of nodes is an ({\epsilon} k)-detection set if, for
        any ({\epsilon} k)-failure of the network, some two nodes in D are no longer able
        to communicate; in this way, D "witnesses" any such failure. Recent results show
        that for any graph G, there is an is ({\epsilon} k)-detection set of size bounded
        by a polynomial in k and {\epsilon}, independent of the size of G.In this paper,
        we expose some relationships between bounds on detection sets and the
        edge-connectivity {\lambda} and node-connectivity {\kappa} of the underlying
        graph. Specifically, we show that detection set bounds can be made considerably
        stronger when parameterized by these connectivity values. We show that for an
        adversary that can delete {\kappa}{\lambda} edges, there is always a detection
        set of size O(({\kappa}/{\epsilon}) log (1/{\epsilon})) which can be found by
        random sampling. Moreover, an ({\epsilon}, \&lambda)-detection set of minimum
        size (which is at most 1/{\epsilon}) can be computed in polynomial time. A
        crucial point is that these bounds are independent not just of the size of G but
        also of the value of {\lambda}.Extending these bounds to node failures is much
        more challenging. The most technically difficult result of this paper is that a
        random sample of O(({\kappa}/{\epsilon}) log (1/{\epsilon})) nodes is a detection
        set for adversaries that can delete a number of nodes up to {\kappa}, the
        node-connectivity.For the case of edge-failures we use VC-dimension techniques
        and the cactus representation of all minimum edge-cuts of a graph; for node
        failures, we develop a novel approach for working with the much more complex set
        of all minimum node-cuts of a graph},
