The Dynamic Host Connguration Protocol (DHCPv6) provides a framework for passing conngu-ration information, via extensions, to IPv6 nodes. It ooers the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional connguration exibil-ity. This protocol should be considered a stateful counterpart to the IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconnguration protocol speciication, and can be u...

We present several optimizations to SPHINCS, a stateless hash-based signature scheme proposed by Bernstein et al. in 2015: PORS, a more secure variant of the HORS few-time signature scheme used in SPHINCS; secret key caching, to speed-up signing and reduce signature size; batch signing, to amortize signature time and reduce signature size when signing multiple messages at once; mask-less constr...

Making drop decisions to enforce the max-min fair resource allocation in a network of standard TCP flows without any explicit state information is a challenging problem. Here we propose a solution to this problem by developing a suite of stateless queue management schemes that we refer to as Multi-Level Comparison with index l (MLC(l)). We show analytically, using a Markov chain model, that for...
