This paper presents a graph transformation based approach to design pattern evolution. An evolution of a design pattern includes modifications of pattern elements, such as classes...
Even though passwords are the most convenient means of authentication, they bring along themselves the threat of dictionary attacks. Dictionary attacks may be of two kinds: online...
We investigate the resiliency of the Internet at the Autonomous System (AS) level to failures and attacks, under the real constraint of business agreements between the ASs. The ag...
— Determining the optimal topology of a graph is pertinent to many domains, as graphs can be used to model a variety of systems. Evolutionary algorithms constitute a popular opti...

The rapid growth of the Internet has triggered an explosion in the number of applications that leverage its capabilities. Unfortunately, many are designed to burden o infrastructur...
BootJacker is a proof-of-concept attack tool which demonstrates that authentication mechanisms employed by an operating system can be bypassed by obtaining physical access and sim...
Recently, there is a growing interest in the research community to use tamper-resistant processors for software copy protection. Many of these tamper-resistant systems rely on a s...
