RSVP: A New Resource Reservation Protocol

by Lixia Zhang, Stephen Deering, Deborah Estrin, Scott Shenker, et al. , 1993
"... Whe origin of the RSVP protocol can be traced back to 1991, when a team of network researchers, including myself, started playing with a number of packet scheduling algorithms on the DARTNET (DARPA Testbed NETwork), a network testbed made of open source, workstation-based routers. Because scheduling ..."

Timing-Sync Protocol for Sensor Networks

by Saurabh Ganeriwal, Ram Kumar, Mani B. Srivastava - The First ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor System (SenSys , 2003
"... Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have emerged as an interesting and important research area in the last few years. The applications envisioned for such networks require collaborative execution of a distributed task amongst a large set of sensor nodes. This is realized by exchanging messages that are ..."

that are timestamped using the local clocks on the nodes. Therefore, time synchronization becomes an indispensable piece of infrastructure in such systems. For years, protocols such as NTP have kept the clocks of networked systems in perfect synchrony. However, this new class of networks has a large density of nodes

A randomized protocol for signing contracts

by Michael Ben-Or, Oded Goldreich, Silvio Micali, Ronald L. Rivest , 1990
"... Two parties, A and B, want to sign a contract C over a communication network. To do so, they must “simultaneously” exchange their commitments to C. Since simultaneous exchange is usually impossible in practice, protocols are needed to approximate simultaneity by exchanging partial commitments in pie ..."

in piece by piece manner. During such a protocol, one party or another may have a slight advantage; a “fair” protocol keeps this advantage within acceptable limits. We present a new protocol that is fair in the sense that, at any stage in its execution, the conditional probability that one party cannot

SPINS: Security Protocols for Sensor Networks

by Adrian Perrig, Robert Szewczyk, Victor Wen, David Culler, J. D. Tygar , 2001
"... As sensor networks edge closer towards wide-spread deployment, security issues become a central concern. So far, the main research focus has been on making sensor networks feasible and useful, and less emphasis was placed on security. We design a suite of security building blocks that are optimized ..."

broad-cast authentication, which is an important mechanism for sensor networks. TESLA is a new protocol which provides authenticated broadcast for severely resource-constrained environments. We implemented the above protocols, and show that they are practical even on minimalistic hardware

Universally composable security: A new paradigm for cryptographic protocols

by Ran Canetti , 2013
"... We present a general framework for representing cryptographic protocols and analyzing their security. The framework allows specifying the security requirements of practically any cryptographic task in a unified and systematic way. Furthermore, in this framework the security of protocols is preserved ..."

Internet Advertising and the Generalized Second Price Auction: Selling Billions of Dollars Worth of Keywords

by Benjamin Edelman, Michael Ostrovsky, Michael Schwarz - AMERICAN ECONOMIC REVIEW , 2007
"... We investigate the “generalized second-price” (GSP) auction, a new mechanism used by search engines to sell online advertising. Although GSP looks similar to the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism, its properties are very different. Unlike the VCG mechanism, GSP generally does not have an equilib ..."

The x-Kernel: An Architecture for Implementing Network Protocols

by Norman C. Hutchinson, Larry L. Peterson - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 1991
"... This paper describes a new operating system kernel, called the x-kernel, that provides an explicit architecture for constructing and composing network protocols. Our experience implementing and evaluating several protocols in the x-kernel shows that this architecture is both general enough to acc ..."

Breaking and Fixing the Needham-Schroeder Public-Key Protocol using FDR

by Gavin Lowe , 1996
"... In this paper we analyse the well known Needham-Schroeder Public-Key Protocol using FDR, a refinement checker for CSP. We use FDR to discover an attack upon the protocol, which allows an intruder to impersonate another agent. We adapt the protocol, and then use FDR to show that the new protocol is s ..."

Summary cache: A scalable wide-area web cache sharing protocol

by Li Fan, Pei Cao, Jussara Almeida, Andrei Z. Broder , 1998
"... The sharing of caches among Web proxies is an important technique to reduce Web traffic and alleviate network bottlenecks. Nevertheless it is not widely deployed due to the overhead of existing protocols. In this paper we propose a new protocol called "Summary Cache"; each proxy keeps a su ..."
