A Socket-Based Key Management API (and surrounding infrastructure)
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an application programmer interface (API) which, in combination with interfaces presented to a protocol stack implementation, provides a set of abstractions allowing different session key management schemes to be built outside the operating system kernel.

A Flexible and Efficient Application Programming Interface (API) for a Customizable Proxy Cache
This paper describes the design, implementation, and performance of a simple yet powerful Application Programming Interface (API) for providing extended services in a proxy cache. This API facilitates the development of customized content adaptation, content management, and specialized administration features. We have developed several modules that exploit this API to perform various tasks with...
متن کاملOn Sockets and System Calls: Minimizing Context Switches for the Socket API
Traditionally, applications use sockets to access the network. The socket API is well understood and simple to use. However, its simplicity has also limited its efficiency in existing implementations. Specifically, the socket API requires the application to execute many system calls like select, accept, read, and write. Each of these calls crosses the protection boundary between user space and ...
متن کاملIPv6 Socket API for Source Address Selection
The IPv6 default address selection document (RFC 3484) describes the rules for selecting source and destination IPv6 addresses, and indicates that applications should be able to reverse the sense of some of the address selection rules through some unspecified API. However, no such socket API exists in the basic (RFC 3493) or advanced (RFC 3542) IPv6 socket API documents. This document fills tha...
متن کاملAn ECC-Based Mutual Authentication Scheme with One Time Signature (OTS) in Advanced Metering Infrastructure
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a key part of the smart grid; thus, one of the most important concerns is to offer a secure mutual authentication. This study focuses on communication between a smart meter and a server on the utility side. Hence, a mutual authentication mechanism in AMI is presented based on the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and one time signature (OTS) consists o...
متن کاملA Programming Interface for Scalable Network Socket I/O
We present MegaPipe, a new API for efficient, scalable network I/O for message-oriented workloads. The design of MegaPipe centers around the abstraction of a channel – a percore, bidirectional pipe between the kernel and user space, used to exchange both I/O requests and event notifications. On top of the channel abstraction, we introduce three key concepts of MegaPipe: partitioning, lightweigh...
