Resource Planning and Bandwidth Allocation in Hybrid Fiber-Coax Residential Networks

October 1, 2004

Author(s)

David W. Griffith, Kotikalapudi Sriram, L Krivulina, Nada T. Golmie

We have implemented a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with polarization encoding at 850 nm over 1 km of optical fiber. The high-speed management of the bit-stream, generation of random numbers and processing of the sifting algorithm are all handled

Securely Connecting the World with Cyber Security Standards

October 1, 2004

Author(s)

Alicia Clay Jones, Michael Hogan

This paper focuses on some of the key roles that cyber security standards play in securely connecting our cyber world. Cyber security standards can be categorized as technical, management, or testing standards. All three types of standards are necessary to

On Aggregate Utility Maximization by Greedy ASs Competing to Provide Internet Services

September 29, 2004

Author(s)

Vladimir V. Marbukh, R E. Van Dyck

We consider the effect of competition between N greedy autonomous systems (ASs) on pricing and availability ofInternet services to elastic users. The problem is formalized as a non-cooperative game, where the autonomous systems attempt to maximize their

Information Security in the System Development Life Cycle

September 1, 2004

Author(s)

Annabelle Lee, Tanya L. Brewer

Many system development life cycle (SDLC) models exist that can be used by an organization to effectively develop an information system. Security should be incorporated into all phases, from initiation to disposition, of an SDLC model. This Bulletin lays

Rate Adaptive Video Transmission Over Ad-Hoc Networks

September 1, 2004

Author(s)

Hamid Gharavi, K Ban

In mobile ad-hoc network environments where the network topology is expected to change considerably, providing reliable video communications is a challenging task. This paper is mainly concerned with developing a packet control mechanism to reduce bursts

On the Effect of Limited Competition Between Greedy ASs on Internet Services

Engineering Principles for IT Security (A Baseline for Achieving Security), Revision A

June 21, 2004

Author(s)

G Stoneburner, Clark Hayden, Alexis Feringa

The Engineering Principles for Information Technology (IT) Security (EP-ITS) presents a list of system-level security principles to be considered in the design, development, and operation of an information system. This document is to be used by IT security

Security Considerations in the Information System Development Life Cycle

June 16, 2004

Author(s)

Timothy Grance, Joan Hash, Marc Stevens

[Superseded by SP 800-64 Rev. 2 (October 2008): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=890097] The need to provide protection for federal information systems has been present since computers were first used. Including security early

Software Fault Complexity and Implications for Software Testing

June 16, 2004

Author(s)

D. Richard Kuhn, D Wallace, A M. Gallo

Exhaustive testing of computer software is intractable, but empirical studies of software failures suggest that testing can in some cases be effectively exhaustive. Data reported in this study and others show that software failures in a variety of domains

Towards Self Managing Distributed Systems Capable of Resolving Trade-Offs Among Competing Performance Criteria

June 12, 2004

Author(s)

Vladimir V. Marbukh

Since typically network performance is characterized by multiple competing criteria, the network management requires resolving the corresponding trade-offs. The problems include finding the Pareto optimal frontier in space of these criteria and selecting
