Abstract The emerging Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm is being adopted by
the telecom industry since it enables flexible network resource allocation, configuration and …

Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) are new self-manageable means of authentication, which is
currently under standardization by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Closely related …

Access control technologies are fundamental for addressing the security and privacy
requirements of the Internet of Things (IoT). This paper proposes an access control solution …

Traditional IP multicast (IPMC) maintains state per IPMC group in core devices to distribute
one-to-many traffic along tree-like structures through the network. This limits its scalability …

Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) has been introduced by the IETF to transport IP
multicast (IPMC) traffic within a BIER domain. Its advantage over IPMC is improved …

Efficient mobility management solutions are essential to provide users with seamless
connectivity and session continuity during movement. However, user mobility was not …

Abstract Bit Indexed Explicit Replication (BIER) is a novel IP multicast (IPMC) forwarding
paradigm proposed by the IETF. It offers a transport layer for other IPMC traffic, keeps core …

Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) is an efficient domain-based transport mechanism for IP
multicast (IPMC) that indicates receivers of a packet through a bitstring in the packet header …

Information-centric networking (ICN) has long been advocating for radical changes to the IP-
based Internet. However, the upgrade challenges that this entails have hindered ICN …

Digital transformation is increasingly reliant on service-based operations in fog networks.
The latter is a geo-dispersed form of the cloud, extending resources closer to end-users for …
