By carefully measuring the amount of time required to perform private key operations, attackers may be able to find fixed Diffie-Hellman exponents, factor RSA keys, and break other cryptosystems. Against a vulnerable system, the attack is computationally inexpensive and often requires only known

key-management scheme designed to satisfy both operational and security requirements of DSNs.

is nonseparable. In fact, I. Farah (private communication) has shown that a Hilbert space of dimension 2ℵ0 has a dense subspace which does not contain any uncountable orthonormal set. A similar example was obtained by Dixmier [Dix53]. p. 8-9 I.2.4.3(i): Some of the statements on p. 9 can be false if the measure

be enciphered using an encryption key publicly revealed by the intended recipient. Only he can decipher the message, since only he knows the corresponding decryption key. 2. A message can be "signed" using a privately held decryption key. Anyone can verify this signature using the corresponding

Reliability at massive scale is one of the biggest challenges we face at Amazon.com, one of the largest e-commerce operations in the world; even the slightest outage has significant financial consequences and impacts customer trust. The Amazon.com platform, which provides services for many web

life. Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) has been a key technique in exploiting the hardware characteristics of processors to reduce energy dissipation by lowering the supply voltage and operating frequency. The DVS algorithms are shown to be able to make dramatic energy savings while providing

As more sensitive data is shared and stored by third-party sites on the Internet, there will be a need to encrypt data stored at these sites. One drawback of encrypting data, is that it can be selectively shared only at a coarse-grained level (i.e., giving another party your private key). We

of cryptographic communicating parties to share a key which is known to no systems, which minimize the need for secure key distribution one else. This is done by sending the key in advance over some channels and supply the equivalent of a written signature. This secure channel such a private courier or registered

A fundamental problem that confronts peer-to-peer applications is the efficient location of the node that stores a desired data item. This paper presents Chord, a distributed lookup protocol that addresses this problem. Chord provides support for just one operation: given a key, it maps the key
