چکیده
Scout is a communication-orientedoperating system that can be specialized for different information appliances. It uses paths as an explicit jirst class object to describe the flow of information through the system. Escort is the security architecture for Scout. It uses the explicit knowledge provided by a path abstraction to secure informationJlow in aJEexible manner

Escort: A Path-Based OS Security Architecture
Escort is the security architecture for Scout, a configurable operating system designed for network appliances. Scout is unique in that it is designed around paths—a communication-centric abstraction that encapsulates information flows through the system—rather than the more traditional processes and servers. Scout uses paths to make end-to-end resource allocation decisions. Escort extends this...
متن کاملSILK: Scout Paths in the Linux Kernel
SILK stands for Scout In the Linux Kernel, and is a port of the Scout operating system to run as a Linux kernel module. SILK forms a replacement networking subsystem for standard Linux 2.4 kernels. Linux applications create and use Scout paths via the Linux socket interface with virtually no modifications to the applications themselves. SILK provides Linux applications with the benefits of Scou...
متن کاملGFG-Assisted Human Tracking Using Smart Phones
Mobile phones are increasingly being equipped with hardware and software services that allow them to determine their locations; however, support for building location-based applications remains a challenging problem. The most widely used localization technology in smart phones is GPS, but it rarely works indoors and provides low energy efficiency. Cell towerbased localization is widely availabl...
متن کاملNew Approaches to Routing for Large-Scale Data Networks
This thesis develops new routing methods for large-scale, packet-switched data networks such as the Internet. The methods developed increase network performance by considering routing approaches that take advantage of more available network resources than do current methods. Two approaches are explored: dynamic metric and multipath routing. Dynamic metric routing provides paths that change dyna...
متن کاملA Simple, Practical Distributed Multi-Path Routing Algorithm
We present a simple and practical distributed routing algorithm based on backward learning. The algorithm periodically oods scout packets that explore paths to a destination in reverse. Scout packets are small and of xed size; therefore, they lend themselves to hop-by-hop piggy-backing on data packets, largely defraying their cost to the network. The correctness of the proposed algorithm is ana...
