Scouting the Path to a Million-Client Server

Extending the Trusted Path in Client-Server Interaction

We present a method to secure the complete path between a server and the local human user at a network node. This is useful for scenarios like internet banking, electronic signatures, or online voting. Protection of input authenticity and output integrity and authenticity is accomplished by a combination of traditional and novel technologies, e.g., SSL, ActiveX, and DirectX. Our approach does n...

A Client-Server Extension to PICSearch system

The large numberof application domains, increasedcomputationalpower and the possibility to have massive databases have directed many researchers to the area of image retrieval. The remarkable research effort on this particular area has produced a lot of image retrieval algorithms. However, there have not been freely distributed and portable platforms where to easily embed these algorithms. We h...

Best Practices Client/server

The goal: Not just better technology but better business processes that make a company more competitive. Client/server systems link clients and servers via a network to support distributed computation, analysis, and presentation, providing a common method for distributing computer power within companies. Although companies are embracing client/server technology when moving from legacy systems [...

An Introduction to Client/Server Computing

Client-Server Caching Revisited

The caching of data and/or locks at client workstations is an eeective technique for improving the performance of a client-server database system. This paper extends an earlier performance study of client-server caching in several ways. The rst is a re-examination of heuristics for deciding dynamically between propagating changes or invalidating remote copies of data pages in order to maintain ...
