Nowadays there is a growing interest in wireless sensor networks, one of the most significant technologies of the 21𝑠𝑡 century. A wireless sensor network (WSN) is essentially composed by a large number of electronic ...

The following doctoral thesis comprises two distinct sections, both describing a specific applied research concerning the macro-theme of computer security. The first section describes a proposal for the improvement and ...

The mission of homeland security is ensuring the safety of living communities and protecting citizens from unforeseen events. In this research field, intelligent and advanced systems are extremely useful to prevent from ...

A cryptographic protocol is defined by the behaviour of the involved parties and the messages that those parties send to each other. Beside the functionality and the security that a cryptographic protocol provides, it is ...

Entity authentication is the process allowing a user, in a distributed system, to gain confidence in the identity of one (or more) communication user. Such a process may be either unilateral (the users are involved in a ...

Medium and Large Companies must compete every day in a global context. To achieve greater efficiency in their products/processes they are forced to globalize by opening multiple locations in geographically distant places. ...
