Resilient Interdomain Traffic Exchange: BGP Security and DDos Mitigation

December 17, 2019
Author(s)
Kotikalapudi Sriram, Douglas C. Montgomery
In recent years, numerous routing control plane anomalies, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) prefix hijacking and route leaks, have resulted in denial-of-service (DoS), unwanted data traffic detours, and performance degradation. Large-scale distributed

Augmenting Fiat Currency with an Integrated Managed Cryptocurrency

November 24, 2019
Author(s)
Peter M. Mell
In this work, we investigate how the governance features of a managed currency (e.g., a fiat currency) can be built into a cryptocurrency in order to leverage potential benefits found in the use of blockchain technology and smart contracts. The resulting
