We build an efficient and reliable data transport protocol on top of the Short Message Service (SMS). We conduct a series of experiments to characterize SMS behaviour under bursty...
Problems of secure communication and computation have been studied extensively in network models. Goldreich, Goldwasser, and Linial, Franklin and Yung, and Franklin and Wright have...
In recent years, there have been a few proposals to add a small amount of trusted hardware at each replica in a Byzantine fault tolerant system to cut back replication factors. Th...

Distributed computation systems have become an important tool for scientific simulation, and a similarly distributed replica management system may be employed to increase the loc...
The problem of biometric sensor interoperability has received limited attention in the literature. Most biometric systems operate under the assumption that the data (viz., images) ...
