Secure group communication is an increasingly popular research area having received much attention in recent years. The fundamental challenge revolves around secure and efcient group key management. While centralized methods are often appropriate for key distribution in large groups, many collaborative group settings require distributed key agreement techniques. This work investigates a novel approach to group key agreement by blending binary key trees with DiAEe-Hellman key exchange. The result

In recent years, collaborative and group-oriented applications and protocols have gained popularity. These applications typically involve communication over open networks; security thus is naturally an important requirement. Group key management is one of the basic building blocks in securing group communication. Most prior research in group key management focused on minimizing computation overhead, in particular minimizing expensive cryptographic operations. However, continued advances in compu

Diabetic nephropathy is characterized by progressive expansion of mesangial matrix and thickening of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). Kidney tissues from 13 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus were studied by immunohistochemical techniques for the distribution of three recently described collagen peptides (M28+, M28 [Good-pasture antigen], and Alport antigen) and various components of classical type IV collagen [alpha 1(IV) noncollagenous (NC) globular domain, alpha 2(IV) NC

Security in collaborative peer groups is an active research topic. Most previous work focused on key management without addressing an important pre-requisite: admission control, i.e., how to securely admit a new member. This paper represents an initial attempt to sketch out an admission control framework suitable for different flavors of peer groups and match them with appropriate cryptographic techniques and protocols. Open problems and directions for future work are identified and discussed.

In this paper, we propose a thin polysilicon strain gauge for the measurement of strain in structural elements. Metal-foil strain gauges are commonly used for such measurements even though polysilicon strain gauges have better sensitivity. However, the proposed polysilicon strain gauge can be applied to structural elements because the strain gauge element is separated from the silicon wafer, due to the small size and low thickness of the proposed gauge. A microelectromechanical system fabricatio

Abstract. Secure and reliable group communication is an active area of research. Its popularity is caused by the growing importance of group-oriented and collaborative applications. The central research challenge is secure and efficient group key management. While centralized methods are often appropriate for key distribution in large multicast-style groups, many collaborative group settings require distributed key agreement techniques. This work investigates a novel group key agreement approach

Highly miniaturized RF bandpass filter using a thin-film bulk acoustic wave resonator (TFBAR) is designed and fabricated for 5-GHz-band application. The topology of the fabricated filter is based on a ladder-type configuration that has a common trimming inductor connected concurrently with two shunt TFBARs and the trimming inductor is directly connected to the ground. The role of unit the TFBAR's physical characteristics such as the size and thickness of the TFBAR determine the performance of th

In the present paper, a novel micro-mixer with a quasi-active rotor for micro-plant applications is proposed and design considerations for the improvement of the mixing performance of the proposed micro-mixer are derived. The proposed micro-rotor mixer combines an active micro-mixer with a passive micro-mixer. The micro-rotor, which is a moving part of an active micro-mixer, is added to the micro-chamber of a passive micro-mixer. The micro-rotor was rotated by inflows tangential to the chamber,

This proceedings contains the papers presented at the 4th ACM International Workshop on Storage Security and Survivability (StorageSS 2008) which was held October 31st , 2008 at George Mason University in conjunction with the Fifteenth ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS). This workshop solicited papers from both research and industry presenting novel ideas on all theoretical and practical aspects of protecting data in storage and file systems and brought together researc

It is pretty well known that insecure code updating procedures for Android allow remote code injection attack. However, other than codes, there are many resources in Android that have to be updated, such as temporary files, images, databases, and configurations (XML and JSON). Security of update procedures for these resources is largely unknown. This paper investigates general conditions for remote code injection attacks on these resources. Using this, we design and implement a static detection

Storage area networks offer high availability, reliability, and scalability, and are a promising solution for large-scale storage needs of many enterprises. As with any distributed storage system, a major design challenge for SANs is to provide secure storage, which implies data integrity and data confidentiality. In this article we propose a solution that addresses these core security requirements. In particular, we focus on mechanisms that enable efficient key management for SAN entities and a
