This Article seeks to fill a critical gap in the current literature relating to the international ordering of cyberspace: the link between jurisdictional assertions by realspace sovereigns and their effects on the global effort to administer the Internet. We analyze the United States’ response to disputes over domain names, the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (“ACPA”), which permits ...

The Domain Name System (DNS) [7] provides vital mapping services for the Internet. It maps domain names such as ucla.edu to values ranging from IP addresses to email servers to geographic locations and more. Virtually every Internet application relies on looking up some form of DNS data. This article first describes a dichotomy that exists between DNS’ well structured and ordered data plane (th...

One's own name constitutes a unique part of conscious awareness - but does this also hold true for unconscious processing? The present study shows that the own name has the power to bias a person's actions unconsciously even in conditions that render any other name ineffective. Participants judged whether a letter string on the screen was a name or a non-word while this target stimulus was prec...

In the original version of the Internationalized Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) protocol, any Unicode code points taken from user input were mapped into a set of Unicode code points that "made sense", and then encoded and passed to the domain name system (DNS). The IDNA2008 protocol (described in RFCs 5890, 5891, 5892, and 5893) presumes that the input to the protocol comes from a set of "...

In this paper, we propose and implement a system that automates the building of class diagram from free-text requirement documents. Our approach first applies natural language processing (NLP) techniques to understanding of the written requirements, and then uses domain knowledge represented by domain ontology to improve the performance of class identification. The basic notion of our approach ...

Malicious activities on the Internet are one of the most dangerous threats to Internet users and organizations. Malicious software controlled remotely is addressed as one of the most critical methods for executing the malicious activities. Since blocking domain names for command and control (C&C) of the malwares by analyzing their Domain Name System (DNS) activities has been the most effective ...
