On the Cost of Persistence and Authentication in Skip Lists
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an extensive experimental study of authenticated data structures for dictionaries and maps implemented with skip lists. We consider realizations of these data structures that allow us to study the performance overhead of authentication and persistence. We explore various design decisions and analyze the impact of garbage collection and virtual memory paging, as well. Our empirical study confirms the efficiency of authenticated skip lists and offers guidelines for incorporating them in various applications.

On the Cost of Authenticated Data Structures
Authenticated data structures provide a model for data authentication, where answers to queries contain extra information that can produce a cryptographic proof about their validity. In this paper, we study the authentication cost that is associated with this model when authentication is performed through hierarchical cryptographic hashing. We introduce measures that precisely model the computa...
متن کاملEnhancing privacy of recent authentication schemes for low-cost RFID systems
Nowadays Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems have appeared in lots of identification and authentication applications. In some sensitive applications, providing secure and confidential communication is very important for end-users. To this aim, different RFID authentication protocols have been proposed, which have tried to provide security and privacy of RFID users. In this paper, we a...
متن کاملAuthenticated Relational Tables and Authenticated Skip Lists
We present a general method, based on the usage of typical DBMS primitives, for maintaining authenticated relational tables. The authentication process is managed by an application external to the DBMS, that stores just one hash information of the authentication structure. The method exploits techniques to represent hierarchical data structures into relational tables and queries that allow an e...
متن کاملImproved Skips for Faster Postings List Intersection
Information retrieval can be achieved through computerized processes by generating a list of relevant responses to a query. The document processor, matching function and query analyzer are the main components of an information retrieval system. Document retrieval system is fundamentally based on: Boolean, vector-space, probabilistic, and language models. In this paper, a new methodology for mat...
