This paper surveys protocols that verify remote data possession. These protocols have been
proposed as a primitive for ensuring the long-term integrity and availability of data stored at …

It is envogue to consider how to incorporate various home devices such as set-top boxes
into content delivery architectures using the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) paradigm. The hope is to …

The highly dynamic nature of the cloud environment leads to a time-varying resource
utilization and the cloud provider can potentially accommodate secondary jobs with the …

We present a dynamic semantic data replication scheme called DSDR for classic k-random
search in unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. During its k-random search each peer …

This paper presents novel statistical algorithms for protecting the iTrust information retrieval
network against malicious attacks. In iTrust, metadata describing documents, and requests …

As distributed systems are getting more and more complex, search facilities for finding
services and data within the system become crucial. Users expect search engines to deal …

This paper presents novel statistical algorithms for detecting and defending against
malicious attacks in the iTrust information retrieval network. The novel detection algorithm …

The increasing use of social network resources has increased the users demands through
these networks. Analyzing social media enables us to benefit from the rich source of …

P2P data storage requires strong reliability and security assurances. Existing data storage
solutions have been designed for centralized as well as distributed settings; yet they do not …

We present a membership protocol for the iTrust search and retrieval network. In iTrust, a
source node distributes metadata together with the URL for a document to a subset of …
