In this paper, we use them to keep information apart in order to protect personal privacy. We show how to implement anonymous credit cards using simple building blocks and standard ...

The protocol is applied to a corporate intranet, and measurements indicate that significant improvements in audio/video quality are achieved.

Sometimes the quality is acceptable, and at other times the voice is unintelligible. In this paper, we describe the results of a set of measurements on intrastate, cross country, and international Internet connections.

This is a major impediment to electronic publishing. Illegal redistribution can be discouraged by placing unique marks in each copy and registering the copy with the original recipient. If an illegal copy is discovered, the original recipient can be identified.

An architecture for collaborative driving systems

The next generation of systems will share sensor readings and collaborate to control braking operations by looking several cars ahead or by creating safe gaps for merging vehicles. The rules that control the interaction between automobiles are protocols.

The pages are sufficiently similar that they are indistinguishable upon visual inspection, even when compared "side-by-side." However in one of the pages the locations of certain text words have been shifted horizontally by an imperceptible amount. Suppose that either page is selected at random and is reproduced, possibly recursively,

Position-based routing protocols in ad hoc networks combine a forwarding strategy with a recovery... more Position-based routing protocols in ad hoc networks combine a forwarding strategy with a recovery algorithm. The former fails when there are void regions or physical obstacles that prevent transmission. Then, the recovery algorithm is used to detour the obstacles. To explore the obstacles and find a path around them, the earlier recovery approaches construct a planar graph to avoid routing loops. Distributed algorithms that find planar graphs require accurate knowledge on the location of nodes. The number of nodes on a recovery path increases as the node density increases. Our novel recovery technique operates on a grid model of a network. Obstacles are approximated by adjacent grid elements. We adopt the righthand rule, which is common in robotics, to follow the perimeter of the discretized obstacle. We do not construct a planar graph. The grid structure reduces the positional accuracy required for nodes, and the recovery path length is independent of the node density.

A way to discourage illicit copying and distribution of documents is to uniquely mark each document copy b y shifting certain lines or words slightly so that the original registered recipient can be identified from an illicit copy b y detecting its mark. I n this paper we present two techniques f o r reliable document identification, the centroid and the correlation detection. B y analyzing the noise characteristics, we obtain the maximum likelihood detectors for both methods and their probabilities of error. W e have applied these results to implement a marking and identification strategy proposed earlier, which marks a line both vertically b y line shift and horizontally b y word shift to make the marking robust against distortions in either direction. Preliminary experimental results are presented.

Without proper flow control, serious network performance degradation in MANETs has been reported in recent studies. In this paper, we introduce a distributed bottleneck flow control technique in MANETs. The proposed scheme uses a distributed flow control mechanism that has been used in both bottleneck flow control and bandwidth balancing in Distributed-Queue-Dual-Bus (DQDB) in wired networks. It extends bandwidth balancing to operate in a mobile wireless environment. Extensive simulations demonstrate that our flow control scheme is effective and can provide max-min fairness as well as improve Quality of Service (QoS) for flows in MANETs.
