We describe a systematic framework for using a stream cipher supporting an initialisation vector (IV) to perform various tasks of authentication and authenticated encryption. These...
In this paper we present the B-coder, an efficient binary arithmetic coder that performs extremely well on a wide range of data. The B-coder should be classed as an `approximate...
This paper investigates compression of encrypted data. It has been previously shown that data encrypted with Vernam’s scheme [1], also known as the one-time pad, can be compress...
Web-services are supported by a complex software infrastructure that must provide a robust service to the client applications. This practical experience report presents a practica...
En-route data compression is fundamental to reduce the power consumed for data gathering in sensor networks. Typical in-network compression schemes involve the distributed computat...
