An Overview and Analysis of PDA Forensic Tools

April 2, 2005
Author(s)
Wayne Jansen, Richard Ayers
Mobile handheld devices are becoming evermore affordable and commonplace in society. When they are involved in a security incident or crime, forensic specialists require tools that allow proper extraction and speedy examination of any digital evidence

Performance Analysis of Exponential Backoff

April 1, 2005
Author(s)
B J. Kwak, N O. Song, Leonard E. Miller
We have implemented a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with polarization encoding at 850 nm over 1 km of optical fiber. The high-speed management of the bit-stream, generation of random numbers and processing of the sifting algorithm are all handled
