Decreasing message complexity in Byzantine Fault Tolerant communications using Consistent-Broadcast

During this research we have replaced Bracha’s layer in the state-of-the-art Bracha-Dolev protocol to improve the performance by decreasing the message complexity of the protocol running on top of a given network topology so long as the requirements stated by Bracha and Dolev are met. Bracha-Dolev is an algorithm that is used to establish a...

VPN Fingerprinting: Network protocol detection inside virtual private network tunnels

Virtual private networks are often used to secure communication between two hosts and preserve privacy by tunneling all traffic over a single encrypted channel. Previous work has already shown that metadata of different secured channels can be used to fingerprint various kinds of information. In this work, we will dive into the encrypted tunnels...

Improving Peer-to-Peer Video Systems

Video Streaming is nowadays the Internet’s biggest source of consumer traffic. Traditional content providers rely on centralised client-server model for distributing their video streaming content. The current generation is moving from being passive viewers, or content consumers, to active content producers, and the traditional content...
