Scavenger - Mobile Remote Execution

Remote Code Execution on Ubiquitous Mobile Applications

Today, most mobile devices (e.g. PDAs) are in some way associated to a fixed personal computer or server. In general this relation is only taken into account for synchronization purposes. This is rather restrictive as, while away from these fixed computers, such mobile devices may require resources that are not available (e.g. network bandwidth, processing power or storage space). This lack of ...

Delegating Remote Operation Execution in a Mobile Computing Environment

Distributed Execution with Remote Audit

Recently, there has been a rapidly expanding body of work with the vision of seamlessly integrating idle networked computers into virtual computing environments. This is enabled primarily by the success of research e orts promoting parallel and distributed computing on networks of workstations and the wide acceptance of Java. The proliferation of work in this area has provided new Internet-base...

Remote Attestation on Function Execution

A program is a compound of various subroutines playing different roles. In this paper, we study how to attest the execution of those mission-critical subroutines whose execution is the basis to establish trust. Our results include a new attestation scheme called function attestation. Given a function F of a program P , the proposed scheme allows for an efficient and secure attestation by using ...

Mobility and Remote-Code Execution

Using an adapted analysis grid, this paper presents a new reading of the concepts underlying the mobile code/agent technology by proposing a decomposition of the paradigms related to remote-code execution into three categories: remote-code calling, remote code-loading and mobile code. Models resulting from this decomposition are specified and implemented using a uniform execution system. A dist...
