This paper describes a virtual private network (VPN) management service developed to support IP-based multi-media teleservices in the ACTS project Prospect. The service is targeted for an open service market with multiple competing and co-operating providers. It provides end-to-end connection management in a heterogeneous network infrastructure with many owners and many network and management t...

We here present an ongoing research project about an integrated real time mobility assistant, which has been developed for the call “Personal Integrated Mobility” of the EU framework program. The assistant is aimed to support personal mobility in a near future scenario, where green, shared or public transports are replacing the current private, carbon transportation system. The assistant handle...

Most modern Web browsers export a rich API allowing third-party extensions to access privileged browser objects that can also be misused by attacks directed against vulnerable ones. Web browser vendors have therefore recently developed new extension frameworks aimed at better isolating extensions while still allowing access to privileged browser state. For instance Google Chrome extension archi...

This document specifies an Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol (ICCP) that enables Provider Edge (PE) device redundancy for Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) and Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) applications. The protocol runs within a set of two or more PEs, forming a Redundancy Group, for the purpose of synchronizing data among the systems. It accommodates multi-chassis attachment circui...

Based on the private message service described in [4] we show efficiency improvements of that private message service in the computational setting. Regarding an attacker which may control all but one of the queried servers we describe a private message service with a total communication complexity of blinded read between client and private message service of n bit upstream and k bit downstream,...

Regarding the fiscal constraints and management difficulties of public hospitals, several countries have used public private partnership model to improve their health facilities. Public private partnership enables using public resources and private investment and expertise in a combined structure. Moheb hospital is the first Iranian hospital managed according to public private-partnership. The ...
