Upgrading a power grid to a smart grid is a challenging task. For example, since power grids
were originally developed to support unidirectional communications, the migration process …

Deep packet inspection (DPI) is widely used in content-aware network applications such as
network intrusion detection systems, traffic billing, load balancing, and government …

BACKGROUND [0002] A computer netWork is a collection of intercon nected computing
devices that exchange data and share resources. In a packet-based network, such as the …

We present the design and development of the automata processor, a massively parallel
non-von Neumann semiconductor architecture that is purpose-built for automata processing …

Middleboxes play a major role in contemporary networks, as forwarding packets is often not
enough to meet operator demands, and other functionalities (such as security, QoS/QoE …

Regular expression matching serves as a key functionality of modern network security
applications. Unfortunately, it often becomes the performance bottleneck as it involves …

As high-speed networks are becoming commonplace, it is increasingly challenging to
prevent the attack attempts at the edge of the Internet. While many high-performance …

Network intrusion detection systems are faced with the challenge of identifying diverse
attacks, in extremely high speed networks. For this reason, they must operate at multi …

Modern network devices need to perform deep packet inspection at high speed for security
and application-specific services. Finite Automata (FAs) are used to implement regular …

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are networks of autonomous nodes used for
monitoring an environment. Energy efficiency and secured data transmission are considered …
