Remote IP Protection Using Timing Channels

Methods of IPD normalization to counteract IP timing covert channels

Covert channels are used for information transmission in a manner that is not intended for communication and is difficult to detect. We propose a technique to prevent the information leakage via IP covert timing channels by inter-packet delays normalization in the process of packets sending. Recommendations for using the counteraction methods and choosing parameters were given. The advantage of...

Liver ischemia preconditions the heart against ischemia-reperfusion arrhythmias

Objective(s):This study aimed to examine the hypothesis that an antiarrhythmic effect might be obtained by ischemic preconditioning of the liver, and also to characterize the potential underlying mechanisms. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were anesthetized by thiopental sodium (50 mg/kg, IP) followed by IV injection of heparin (250 IU). Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) was induce...

Preconditioning Strategies for Kidney Ischemia Reperfusion Injury: Implications of the “Time-Window” in Remote Ischemic Preconditioning

Remote ischemic preconditioning (IP) is a potential renoprotective strategy. However, there has been no demonstrated result in large animals and the role of time window in remote IP remains to be defined. Using a single-kidney porcine model, we evaluated organ protective function of remote IP in renal ischemia reperfusion injury. Fifteen Yorkshire pigs, 20 weeks old and weighing 35-38 kg were u...

IP Covert Timing Channels: Design and Detection

Chloride channel inhibition blocks the protection of ischemic preconditioning and hypo-osmotic stress in rabbit ventricular myocardium.

The objective of this study was to examine the role of chloride (Cl-) channels in the myocardial protection of ischemic preconditioning (IP). Isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes were preconditioned with 10-minute simulated ischemia (SI) and 20-minute simulated reperfusion (SR) or not preconditioned (control). The myocytes then received 180-minute SI or 45-minute SI/120-minute SR. Indanyloxyace...
