How Distributed is Distributed Management or Can Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth? by John Day | Pouzin society
The need for network management has always been recognized. At the same time, it recognized as overhead to selling equipment as well as a facility to smooth over the shortcomings of the equipment. Most datacomm networks in the 1970s and before were fairly small, often using equipment from a single... More
Applying Data Mining Techniques Over Big Data
Source: Applying Data Mining Techniques Over Big Data With rapid development of information technology, data flows in different variety of formats - sensors data, tweets, photos, raw data, and unstructured data. Statistics show that there were 800,000 Petabytes stored in the world in 2000. Today Internet is about 1.8 Zettabytes (Zettabytes... More
Factorization in the Cloud: Integer Factorization Using F# and Windows Azure
Source: Factorization in the Cloud: Integer Factorization Using F# and Windows Azure Implementations are presented of two common algorithms for integer factorization, Pollard’s “p – 1” method and the SQUFOF method. The algorithms are implemented in the F# language, a functional programming language developed by Microsoft and officially released for the... More
Patterns in network security: an analysis of architectural complexity in securing recursive inter-network architecture networks
Recursive Inter-Network Architecture (RINA) networks have a shorter protocol stack than the current architecture (the Internet) and rely instead upon separation of mech- anism from policy and recursive deployment to achieve large scale networks. Due to this smaller protocol stack, fewer networking mechanisms, security or otherwise, should be needed to... More
Security analysis of finance and healthcare android applications
Android is a major mobile operating system pre-installed and shipped with more than 60% of smart-phones in the market. The open source nature of android en- courages developers to innovate wide-range of applications. Meantime, the sweeping android acceptance with individuals and industries caught the attention of malicious software writers, which... More

DR BACA: dynamic role based access control for Android
Source: DR BACA: dynamic role based access control for Android Android, as an open platform, dominates the booming mobile market. However, its permission mechanism is inflexible and often results in over-privileged applications. This in turn creates severe security issues. Aiming to support the Principle of Least Privilege, we propose a Dynamic... More
Elliptic curve cryptography, zero-knowledge proof, and Lamport’s hash chain in a distributed authentication system
This paper proposes a novel distributed authentication system that uses robust alternatives in cryptographic algorithms to grant a third-party access to personal data without compromising a user's credentials. The paper examines briefly the concept of distributed authentication systems, and discusses how elliptic curve cryptography and Lamport's hash chain can operate... More
Android application evolution and malware detection
Android has dominated the mobile market for a few years now, and continues to increase its market share. Meanwhile, Android has seen a sharper increase in malware. It is a matter of utmost urgency to find a better way to detect Android malware. In this thesis, we use static code... More
CK2 inhibitor CX-4945 destabilizes NOTCH1 and synergizes with JQ1 against human T-acute lymphoblastic leukemic cells.
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive cancer of developing thymocytes, and remains fatal in 20% of pediatric and 50% of adult patients.1,2 Frequent application of multi-agent cytotoxic drugs leads to disease relapse and high toxicities, underscoring the need for targeted therapies. The suppression of aberrant NOTCH1 signaling in... More
