Broadband Wireless Access
Authors: Benny Bing
Venue:  (2000)

:This book discusses the design, performance and implementation of access protocols with emphasis on how such protocols can efficiently support disparate classes of multimedia traffic. These protocols are deployed or experimented in various broadband wireless environments such as wireless ATM, satellite networks, mobile cellular and personal communication systems, wireless local loops, wireless local area networks, and others. Besides a comprehensive introduction and survey to the evolution of access protocols, some of the hottest topics of current interest are covered. These include: Connection control and QoS provisioning. Traffic load balancing techniques. Developments in advanced CDMA/TDMA/OFDM systems. International standardization efforts (e.g., 3G, IMT 2000). Emerging broadband wireless access (e.g., wireless ATM, satellite ATM, high-speed wireless LANs). The complete design, performance analysis, simulation and protocol verification of a generalized broadband multiple access protocol. While engineering aspects are discussed, the emphasis is on the physical understanding of access protocols, from basic proposals to the latest innovations. Mathematical treatment is kept to a minimum, and most of the fundamental concepts are explained based on intuition and insights, supplemented by numerous illustrative figures. In addition, these concepts are expressed succinctly and concisely. Wherever possible, important references that make major contributions to the field are included for interested readers to investigate further. Latest updates and useful Web resources are posted at the book's Web site.

Fully Dynamic Maintenance of k-Connectivity in Parallel
Authors: Weifa Liang, Richard P. Brent, Hong Shen
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2001)

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the k-connectivity of $G$ denotes either the k-edge connectivity or the k-vertex connectivity of $G$. In this paper, we deal with the fully dynamic maintenance of k-connectivity of $G$ in the parallel setting for $k=2,3$. We study the problem of maintaining k-edge/vertex connected components of a graph undergoing repeatedly dynamic updates, such as edge insertions and deletions, and answering the query of whether two vertices are included in the same k-edge/vertex connected component. Our major results are the following: 1) An NC algorithm for the 2-edge connectivity problem is proposed, which runs in $O(\log n \log (m/n))$ time using $O(n^{3/4})$ processors per update and query. 2) It is shown that the biconnectivity problem can be solved in $O(\log^2 n)$ time using $O(n\alpha(2n,n)/\log n)$ processors per update and $O(1)$ time with a single processor per query or in $O(\log n \log{m \over n})$ time using $O(n\alpha(2n,n)/\log n)$ processors per update and $O(\log n)$ time using $O(n \alpha(2n,n)/\log n)$ processors per query, where $\alpha(.,.)$ is the inverse of Ackermann's function. 3) An NC algorithm for the triconnectivity problem is also derived, which takes $O(\log n \log{m \over n}+\log n \log\log n /\alpha(3n,n))$ time using $O(n\alpha(3n,n)/\log n)$ processors per update and $O(1)$ time with a single processor per query. 4) An NC algorithm for the 3-edge connectivity problem is obtained, which has the same time and processor complexities as the algorithm for the triconnectivity problem. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed algorithms are the first NC algorithms for the problems using $O(n)$ processors in contrast to $\Omega(m)$ processors for solving them from scratch. In particular, the proposed NC algorithm for the 2-edge connectivity problem uses only $O(n^{3/4})$ processors. All the proposed algorithms run on a CRCW PRAM.

Hardness amplification within NP
Authors: Ryan O'Donnell
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

(MATH) In this paper we investigate the following question: If $\np$ is slightly hard on average, is it very hard on average? We show the answer is yes; if there is a function in $\np$ which is \mbox{$(1-1/\poly(n))$}-hard for circuits of polynomial size, then there is a function in $\np$ which is $(\half + n^{-1/2 + \epsilon})$-hard for circuits of polynomial size. Our proof technique is to generalize the Yao XOR Lemma, allowing us to characterize nearly tightly the hardness of a composite function \linebreak $g(f(x_1), \ldots, f(x_n))$, in terms of: (i) the original hardness of $f$, and (ii) the {\em expected bias} of the function $g$ when subjected to random restrictions. The computational result we prove essentially matches an information-theoretic bound.

Grammar based off line generation of disposable credit card numbers
Authors: Abhishek Singh, Andre L. M. dos Santos
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Context free grammars present the desirable cryptographic property that it is easy to generate and validate strings from a given grammar, however it is hard to identify a grammar given only the strings generated by it. The algorithm used in the authentication protocol proposed in this paper makes use of context free grammars. This authentication protocol is a perfect candidate for the offline generation and validation of a disposable credit card number. The proposed protocol can be used alone and it does not rely on any other cryptographic protocols like SSL for its security. This paper presents and analyses the protocol with respect to its robustness against malicious attacks.
A multicast routing algorithm for LEO satellite IP networks
Authors: Eylem Ekici, Ian F. Akyildiz, Michael D. Bender
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2002)

Satellite networks provide global coverage and support a wide range of services. Since Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites provide short round-trip delays, they are becoming increasingly important for real-time applications such as voice and video traffic. Many applications require a mechanism to deliver information to multiple recipients. In this paper, a multicast routing algorithm for datagram traffic is introduced for LEO satellite IP networks. The new scheme creates multicast trees by using the Datagram Routing Algorithm. The bandwidth utilization and delay characteristics are assessed through simulations.

The BiBa one-time signature and broadcast authentication protocol
Authors: Adrian Perrig
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM conference on Computer and Communications Security (2001)

We introduce the BiBa signature scheme, a new signature construction that uses one-way functions without trapdoors. BiBa features a low verification overhead and a relatively small signature size. In comparison to other one-way function based signature schemes, BiBa has smaller signatures and is at least twice as fast to verify (which probably makes it one of the fastest signature scheme to date for verification). On the downside, the BiBa public key is large, and the signature generation overhead is higher than previous schemes based on one-way functions without trapdoors (although it can be trivially parallelized).One of the main challenges of securing broadcast communication is source authentication, which allows all receivers to verify the origin of the data. An ideal broadcast authentication protocol should be efficient for the sender and the receiver, have a small communication overhead, allow the receiver to authenticate each individual packet, provide perfect robustness to packet loss, scale to large numbers of receivers, and provide instant authentication (no buffering of data at the sender or receiver side). We are not aware of any previous protocol that satisfies all these properties. We present the BiBa broadcast authentication protocol, a new construction based on the BiBa signature, that achieves all our desired properties, with the tradeoff that it requires a moderate computation overhead for the sender to generate the authentication information, and that it requires loose time synchronization between the sender and receivers.
