The trend toward smaller botnets may be more dangerous than large botnets, in terms of large-scale attacks like distributed denials of service. We examine the possibility of “su...
Network routers occupy a key role in modern data transport and consequently are attractive targets for attackers. By manipulating, diverting or dropping packets arriving at a comp...

Hierarchical systems have been widely used to provide scalable distributed services in the Internet. Unfortunately, such a service hierarchy is vulnerable to DoS attacks. This pap...

The fat-tree is one of the topologies most widely used to build high-performance parallel computers. However, they are expensive and difficult to build. In this paper we propose t...
We introduce a simple new model of distributed computation — finite-state symmetric graph automata (FSSGA) — which captures the qualitative properties common to fault-toleran...
