This paper presents a new attack against a software implementation of the Advanced
Encryption Standard. The attack aims at flushing elements of the SBOX from the cache, thus …

Elasticity has now become the elemental feature of cloud computing as it enables the ability
to dynamically add or remove virtual machine instances when workload changes. However …

Cloud computing offers users the ability to access large pools of computational and storage
resources on-demand without the burden of managing and maintaining their own IT assets …

Newly-released web applications often succumb to a" Success Disaster," where overloaded
database machines and resulting high response times destroy a previously good user …

The success of cloud computing builds largely upon on-demand supply of virtual machines
(VMs) that provide the abstraction of a physical machine on shared resources. Unfortunately …

In order to meet service level agreements (SLAs) and to maintain peak performance for
database management systems (DBMS), database administrators (DBAs) need to …
