Covert channel analysis and detection using reverse proxy servers. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., & Llamas, D. (2004, June). Covert channel analysis and detection using reverse proxy servers. Paper presented at 3rd International Conference on Electronic Warfare and Security (EIWC)

Data hiding methods can be used by intruders to communicate over open data channels (Wolf 1989; McHugh 1995; deVivo, deVivo et al. 1999), and can be used to overcome firewalls, and most other forms of network intrusion detection systems. In fact, mos... Read More about Covert channel analysis and detection using reverse proxy servers..

Improving vehicle routing using a customer waiting time colony. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sa'adah, S., Ross, P., & Paechter, B. (2004, April). Improving vehicle routing using a customer waiting time colony

In the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), there are two main objectives. The primary objective is to reduce the number of vehicles, the secondary one is to minimise the total distance travelled by all vehicles. This paper describes so...
