Virtual-Flow Multipath Algorithms for MPLS
DOI: 10.1504/IJITST.2007.014832 | Dario Pompili, Caterina Scoglio, Charles A. Shoniregun | Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) can improve the routing efficiency of Internet Protocol (IP) networks through its intrinsic Traffic Engineering (TE) capabilities. In this paper, a centralised and a distributed virtual-flow routing algo... | 1 - 19 |
Theoretical analysis and comparison of various approaches for reliable multicast
DOI: 10.1504/IJITST.2007.014832 | Laurent Nadeau, Tricha Anjali | Scalability is always an issue for multicast protocols. This paper analyses and compares eight protocols for packet loss recovery in multicast communications. The goal of our analysis is to emphasise which protocols provide good recovery ti... | 20 - 48 |
A logic-based verification framework for authentication protocols
DOI: 10.1504/IJITST.2007.014832 | Shahabuddin Muhammad, Zeeshan Furqan, Ratan K. Guha | Designing authentication protocols is an error-prone process. In this paper, we develop a deductive style proof-based framework to verify authentication protocols. The proposed framework clearly represents authentication protocols and conci... | 49 - 80 |
Initial trust formation in Virtual Organisations
DOI: 10.1504/IJITST.2007.014832 | Tatyana Ryutov, Clifford Neuman, Li Zhou, Noria Foukia | We present a conceptual framework that introduces key concepts capturing initial trust establishment in on-demand Virtual Organisations (VO). This framework can be used to develop trust formation protocols and policies. The framework can se... | 81 - 94 |
Tailored trustworthiness estimations in Peer-to-Peer networks
DOI: 10.1504/IJITST.2007.014832 | Katri Sarkio, Silke Holtmanns | In Peer-to-Peer (P2P) communities, users make personal trust evaluations of each other based on their experiences and observations. The available information of the peer|s past behaviour, i.e., reputation, is often incomplete, so the credib... | 95 - 107 |
PATROL: a comprehensive reputation-based trust model
DOI: 10.1504/IJITST.2007.014832 | Ayman Tajeddine, Ayman Kayssi, Ali Chehab, Hassan Artail | In this paper, we present PATROL, a general and comprehensive reputation-based trust model for distributed computing. The proposed model is an enhancement over our previous model, TRUMMAR, and aims at achieving a truly unique model that inc... | 108 - 131 |
Privacy issues in educational systems
DOI: 10.1504/IJITST.2007.014832 | Dragana Martinovic, Victor Ralevich | Here we consider personal data collection and storage, access control, data mining, and related privacy protection in two different scenarios: online tutoring systems and school-based educational systems. When applying intelligent agents to... | 132 - 150 |
Security analysis of mobile web service provisioning
DOI: 10.1504/IJITST.2007.014832 | Satish Narayana Srirama, Matthias Jarke, Wolfgang Prinz | Mobile data services in combination with profluent web services are seemingly the path breaking domain in current information systems research. Mobile web services have vast application domains and effectively pave the way for exciting perf... | 151 - 171 |
