Common occurrence of server overload and the threat of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks makes highly desirable to improve the performance and DoS resistance of SSL handshakes. In this paper, we tackle these two related problems by proposing reverse SSL, an extension in which the server is relieved from the heavy public key decryption operation and authenticated by means of a digital signature in...

Botryococcene biosynthesis is thought to resemble that of squalene, a metabolite essential for sterol metabolism in all eukaryotes. Squalene arises from an initial condensation of two molecules of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to form presqualene diphosphate (PSPP), which then undergoes a reductive rearrangement to form squalene. In principle, botryococcene could arise from an alternative rearrang...

Secure socket layer (SSL) is the most popular protocol to secure Internet communications. Since SSL handshake requires a large amount of computational resource, batch RSA was proposed to speedup SSL session initialization. However, the batch method is impractical since it requires a multiple of certificates. In this paper, we overcome this problem without modifying SSL protocol. To select the o...

We address two critical issues involved in applying semi-supervised learning (SSL) to a real-world task: parameter tuning and choosing which (if any) SSL algorithm is best suited for the task at hand. To gain a better understanding of these issues, we carry out a medium-scale empirical study comparing supervised learning (SL) to two popular SSL algorithms on eight natural language processing ta...

Although there exist accelerator products to increase throughput of encrypted transactions produced by an Internet HTTP server, there are no current architectures that provide a truly coordinated and scalable solution for Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted communications. This paper presents an architecture that facilitates high volume SSL Internet serving, scaling from thousands to millions o...

A variety of graph-based semi-supervised learning (SSL) algorithms and graph construction methods have been proposed in the last few years. Despite their apparent empirical success, the field of SSL lacks a detailed study that empirically evaluates the influence of graph construction on SSL. In this paper we provide such an experimental study. We combine a variety of graph construction methods ...

Since its start in 1997, the setup of the RoboCup Small Size Robot League (SSL) enabled teams to use their own cameras and vision algorithms. In the fast and highly dynamic SSL environment, researchers achieved significant algorithmic advances in real-time complex coloredpattern based perception. Some teams reached, published, and shared effective solutions, but for new teams, vision processing...

Synthetic sickness/lethality (SSL) can be exploited to develop therapeutic strategies for cancer. Deficiencies in the tumor suppressor proteins MLH1 and MSH2 have been implicated in cancer. Here we demonstrate that deficiency in MSH2 is SSL with inhibition of the DNA polymerase POLB, whereas deficiency in MLH1 is SSL with DNA polymerase POLG inhibition. Both SSLs led to the accumulation of 8-ox...
