  • A Centralized Reputation System for MANETs Based on Observed Path Performance

    Publication

    A reputation system for MANETs is described that attempts to deduce nodal trustworthiness (forwarding behaviour) from observed end-to-end path performance. The trustworthiness deduction algorithm produces interval estimates and works well if node misbehaviour is not selec-tive with respect to traversing paths. Nodal reputation levels are next calculated in the spirit of generous tit-for-tat so as to best reflect momentary nodal...

    Publication

    - PHYSICAL REVIEW A - Year 2015

    We provide an analysis of a family of device-independent quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols that has the following features. (a) The bits used for the secret key do not come from the results of the measurements on an entangled state but from the choices of settings. (b) Instead of a single security parameter (a violation of some Bell inequality) a set of them is used to estimate the level of trust in the secrecy of the key....

  • On Sample Rate Conversion Based on Variable Fractional Delay Filters

    The sample rate conversion algorithm based on variable fractional delay filters is often used if the resampling ratio cannot be expressed as the ratio of small integer numbers or if it is not constant. The main advantage of such solution is that it allows for arbitrary resampling ratios which can even be changed during the resampling process. In this paper a discussion on influence of different approaches to fractional filter...
