In the last few years we have witnessed a sustained rise in the popularity of online Social Network Sites (SNSs) such as Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Flickr, LinkedIn, FriendFeed, Google Friend Con- nect, Yahoo! Groups, e...

La certificación CCNA Security (Cisco Certified Network Associate Security) valida los conocimientos y prácticas para asegurar las redes de Cisco. Con la certificación CCNA Security se obtienen las habilidades necesar...

Actualmente los sistemas informáticos gestionan gran cantidad de datos a través de la red. Este continuo crecimiento ha provocado a su vez un aumento en el número de accesos y la manipulación de datos no autorizados ...

Security governance surrounding infectious diseases necessitates collaboration and information sharing among diverse actors, including nation-states and institutions. The Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Syst...

"Penetration Testing (short pentesting) is a methodology for assessing network security, by generating and executing possible attacks exploiting known vulnerabilities of operating systems and applications. Doing so autom...

A loosely coupled distributed system is composed by nodes, usually heterogenous, connected by a network. These systems have enormous aggregate computing potential. However most of this potential is not realized unless th...

Recently the use of public key encryption to provide secure network communication has received considerable attention. Such public key systems are usually effective against passive eavesdroppers, who merely tap the lines...

Performance studies point to the fact that in an OBS network, the link utilization has to be kept very low in order for the burst loss probability to be within an acceptable level. Various congestion control schemes have...

The fast evolution of Botnet malware made it extremely difficult to detect. Despite it can be just considered as a tool, nowadays it has become one of the most dangerous threats for system administrators. Botnets are us...

In wireless mobile ad hoc networks, packet delivery is achieved through two closely related network-layer operations: ad hoc routing and packet forwarding. As a result any security solution should encompass the protectio...

Wireless is everywhere nowadays and WLAN (i.e. 802.11 standard family) has became used by almost any communications devices in the mass market. The recent achievements in the fields of modulation techniques, such as Spr...

Label switching, which in IP networks is exemplified by MPLS and its extensions MPLambdaS and GMPLS, appears as one of the best alternatives to offer a reliable and flexible control plane for WDM networks, since it allow...

One way to guaranteeing service for an application flow even if a network happens to fail is to establish a restoration path with the bandwidth that amounts to the same of the flow. If the flows can share the bandwidth f...

Various worms have a devastating impact on Internet. Packet level network modeling and simulation has become an approach to find effective countermeasures against worm threat. However, current alternatives are not fit en...

IP Networks, and particularly the Internet, were proposed to be a simple and robust support for heterogeneous communications. This implies that only basic controls have to be done by network elements. Connection manageme...

As they are used to create open communities, Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) are not favourable environments to establish trust, which is necessary to provide security. Multipath routing mechanisms within infrastructurel...

This paper introduces a novel Management Traffic Clustering Algorithm (MTCA) based on a sliding window methodology for intrusion detection in 802.11 networks Active attacks and other network events such as scanning, join...

Ad-hoc networking, where network structure is created dynamically as nodes enter and leave the network, has recently become an active reseach subject. As majority of existing network protocols has been targeted to be use...

PLC technology1 - Power Line Communications- refers to the transmission of data using the domestic as well as the low-voltage electrical net. Depending on the type of network used as support it is divided in PLC indoor a...

This research work analyzes the universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) authentication and key agreement (AKA) protocol, which suffers from the traffic bottleneck at home location register and authentication cen...

This work presents a multiobjective algorithm for multicast traffic engineering. The proposed algorithm is a new version of MultiObjective Ant Colony System (MOACS), based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). The proposed M...

The Stream Control Transport Protocol (SCTP) is a new transport layer protocol that has been designed to provide reliable transport over the Internet. While the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) is the most popular transp...

The following document, presents and analyzes the Risks Analysis in the whole software development life cycle, framed like one of the recommended practices for secure software development. It present and compare a set of...
