AnoNotify is a service for private, timely and low-cost online notifications. We present the design and security arguments behind AnoNotify, as well as an evaluation of its cost. AnoNotify is based on mixnetworks, Bloom filters and shards. We present a security definition and security proofs for AnoNotify. We then discuss a number of applications, including notifications for incoming messages i...

The simulation of large-scale networks is a challenging task especially if the network to simulate is the Dynamic Multipoint Virtual Private Network, it requires expert knowledge to properly configure its component technologies. The study of these network architectures in a real environment is almost impossible because it requires a very large number of equipment, however, this task is feasible...

Security mechanisms such as firewalls commonly deployed throughout the Internet present serious obstacles to basic usage of Mobile IP. In this paper we describe how IP security mechanisms can be integrated with Mobile IP to create a mobile VPN. In this context, this work describes a prototype implementation of an integrated environment for secure, inter-domain, mobile communications for an exis...

The signaling protocols used to establish point-to-point pseudowires include type-length-value (TLV) fields that identify pseudowire endpoints called attachment individual identifiers (AIIs). This document defines AII structures in the form of new AII TLV fields that support AII aggregation for improved scalability and Virtual Private Network (VPN) auto-discovery. It is envisioned that this wou...

The evolution of an open market for telecommunication services provides a wide range of opportunities for the provision of value added services by providers other than public network operators. One service already available today is that of a Virtual Private Network that provide dispersed corporate sites with wide area data and telephony capabilities using public network services. The introduct...

The main objective of emergent standard Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) is the interconnection of users located at different geographic locations as if they were in the same local area network. In this sense, the investigations and tests that have been done are mainly focused on point-to-point interconnection scenarios using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), as there have been few tests done ...

as a private domain, the family is subordinate to the characteristics of private law. on the other hand, as the only major authority, the government has the responsibility of supporting all individuals by resorting to civil and criminal law. however, by taking the public aspect of the criminal law into consideration, its basis is on the lack of need of its presence when facing the family, the b...
