چکیده

A common paradigm for a network service architecture is to provide a number of different services or applications in which all of them share resources; the routing framework provides the best path to all services. A simple twist to this basic notion is if we were to architect in a way to virtualize the network so that different services are clustered into different virtual, adaptive partitions to provide different levels of services. In considering this notion, it is important to note that a service offering can span the entire spectrum from complete sharing to physically dedicated partitioning. Furthermore, even without a shared environment, prioritization is also possible, for example, in packet scheduling for different service classes at a router. Typically, to provide a certain quality of service, which might be agreed upon through a service level agreement, a shared environment requires less network bandwidth due to statistical gain as opposed to a completely dedicated, partitioned environment to each different service—this is from the angle of a network service provider. However, in many instances, a middle of the road approach can be a viable alternative in which through virtualization, services can be offered guaranteed prioritized services, and more importantly, such virtualization can be adaptively configured, without requiring complete physical partitioning. Our middle of the road approach is motivated by a different service paradigm. Consider the simple scenario of two service classes, survivable critical (SC) services and normal services, in which the objective is to provide a certain level of service quality or protection to SC services even under an attack or a network stress situation. This attack or stress can be either of the following forms: (a) injection of excessive dummy traffic to overload the network or network elements, or (b) overtaking of a part of the network (e.g. some routers) so that some network elements become untrusted for use by SC services. An important driver then is that the network has the framework to consider trustworthiness and the routing protocol has the appropriate functionality that can support trustworthiness as well as resilience. ∗D.

SR3: A Secure and Resilient Reputation-Based Routing Protocol

We propose SR3, a secure and resilient algorithm for convergecast routing in WSNs. SR3 uses lightweight cryptographic primitives to achieve data confidentiality and data packet unforgeability. SR3 has a security proven by formal tool. We made simulations to show the resiliency of SR3 against various scenarios, where we mixed selective forwarding, blackhole, wormhole, and Sybil attacks. We compa...

Reliability and Performance Evaluation of Fault-aware Routing Methods for Network-on-Chip Architectures (RESEARCH NOTE)

Nowadays, faults and failures are increasing especially in complex systems such as Network-on-Chip (NoC) based Systems-on-a-Chip due to the increasing susceptibility and decreasing feature sizes. On the other hand, fault-tolerant routing algorithms have an evident effect on tolerating permanent faults and improving the reliability of a Network-on-Chip based system. This paper presents reliabili...

Modeling of Resilient Modulus of Asphalt Concrete Containing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement using Feed-Forward and Generalized Regression Neural Networks

Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is one of the waste materials that highway agencies promote to use in new construction or rehabilitation of highways pavement. Since the use of RAP can affect the resilient modulus and other structural properties of flexible pavement layers, this paper aims to employ two different artificial neural network (ANN) models for modeling and evaluating the effects of ...

Efficient and Secure Network Routing Algorithms

We present several algorithms for network routing that are resilient to various attacks on the routers themselves. Our methods for securing routing algorithms are based on a novel “leapfrog” cryptographic signing protocol, which is more efficient than using traditional public-key signature schemes.
