This work seeks to develop an analytical model for the per-node throughput analysis of IEEE 802.11 WLAN networks with hidden nodes by extending Bianchi’s model. With the analytic model we derive the per-node throughput of each node and quantify the impact of hidden nodes on per-node throughput. Through our analysis, we find that nodes having more hidden nodes are likely to have worse throughput...

Evil-Twin is becoming a common attack in smart home environments where an attacker can set up a fake AP to compromise the security of the connected devices. To identify the fake APs, The current approaches of detecting Evil-Twin attacks all rely on information such as SSIDs, theMAC address of the genuine AP, or network traffic patterns. However, such information can be faked by the attacker, of...

The fake supergravity method is applied to 5-dimensional asymptotically AdS spacetimes containing gravity coupled to a real scalar and an abelian gauge field. The motivation is to obtain bulk solutions with R × S3 symmetry in order to explore the AdS/CFT correspondence when the boundary gauge theory is on R × S3. A fake supergravity action, invariant under local supersymmetry through linear ord...

Background and Objectives: Active presence of hospitals on the Internet is becoming a hallmark of hospitals’ commitment to quality healthcare services delivery. For insightful planning towards a strong Internet-based information delivery and communication, there is a need for continuous monitoring of hospital website’s status. Built on this need, this paper provides, for the first time, a ranki...

Social networks have become an everyday tool in our lives and different social networks have different target groups. Among them LinkedIn is greatly preferred by the people who are in the professional occupations. With the rapid growth of social networks, people tend to misuse them for unethical and illegal conducts. Creation of a fake profile becomes such adversary effect which is difficult to...
