Emulation is frequently discussed as a failsafe preservation strategy for born-digital documents that depend on contemporaneous software for access (Rothenberg, 2000). Yet little has been written about the contextual knowledge required to successfully use such software. The approach we advocate is to preserve necessary contextual information through scripts designed to control the legacy enviro...

In a single server environment, one server is responsible for providing services to all the authorized remote users. However, the problem arises if a user wishes to access several network services. To overcome this weakness, various multi-server authentication schemes have been proposed. In 2012, Taygi et al. [1] proposed a scheme for multi-server environment. But it is found that their propose...

The IEEE Wireless LAN standard has been a true success story by enabling convenient, efficient and low-cost access to broadband networks for both private and professional use. However, the increasing density and uncoordinated operation of wireless access points, combined with constantly growing traffic demands have started hurting the users’ quality of experience. On the other hand, the emergin...

The issue of long term preservation of digital data has, in recent years, become a critical issue with many diverse groups and organisations recognising the need to preserve digital documents before they fall victim to digital obsolescence. However, there is a distinct lack of discussion regarding the needs of future end users of such preserved documents. This is surprising, given that it is th...

In this work, we propose a complete methodology called RESS (Real-Time Embedded Software Synthesis) for the automatic design of real-time embedded software. Several issues are solved, including software synthesis, software verification, code generation, graphic user interface, and system emulation. To avoid design errors, a formal approach is adopted because glitches in real-time embedded softw...

The Adventium Labs Embedded Distributed Firewall provides a simple interface for securely managing approved network flows between computers on a network. A “conversation” manager provides a simple interface for managing flows, defining the connections authorized between nodes on a network. These policies are enforced in hardware embedded in the network interface card of each computer. The polic...

This paper discusses the implementation of a tactical network simulation tool. The tool is called Tactical Network Modeller (TNM). TNM uses some novel techniques to simplify the building of the network model using graph theory constrained by a hierarchical tree which reflects the organisation structure. TNM allows models to be constructed using an Application Programming Interface (API) or a no...

Dynamic malware analysis aims at revealing malware’s runtime behavior. To evade analysis, advanced malware is able to detect the underlying analysis tool (e.g., one based on emulation.) On the other hand, existing malware-transparent analysis tools incur significant performance overhead, making them unsuitable for live malware monitoring and forensics. In this paper, we present IntroLib, a prac...
