Researchers explore the question of whether a Kondo cloud—a phenomenon common in conventional metals—can also occur superconductors.

Despite the availability of numerous neat polymers, polymer composites offer a wide range advantages over traditional materials such as metals, ceramics, and polymers [...]

We present the Totem multiple-ring protocol, a novel reliable ordered multicast protocol for multiple interconnected local-area networks. The protocol exhibits excellent performance and maintains a consistent network-wide total order of messages despite network partitioning and remerging, or processor failure and recovery with stable storage intact. The Totem protocol is designed for fault-tole...

We propose a traffic confirmation attack on lowlatency anonymous communication protocols based on computing robust real-time binary hashes of network traffic flows. Firstly, we adapt the Coskun-Memon Algorithm to construct hashes that can withstand network impairments to allow fast matching of network flows. The resulting attack has a low startup cost and achieves a true positive match rate of ...
