Bare PC applications do not use an operating system or hard disk. We present a lightweight VoIP security scheme for a bare PC softphone that consists of an RSA-based key exchange, AES voice encryption, and SHA-1 data integrity and authentication. The scheme is easily extended to incorporate replay protection and a key derivation function as specified in SRTP for example. Experimental results comparing...
The Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) is an Internet standards-track security profile for RTP used to provide confidentiality, integrity and replay protection for RTP traffic. We study the performance of SRTP when it is used to secure VoIP conversations. Experiments are conducted using snom and Twinkle softphones running on Windows and Linux platforms respectively and a bare PC softphone...
Bare machine applications run directly over the hardware without using an operating system or a hard disk. This paper studies the performance of a bare machine email server whose design and implementation is based on several novel architectural features with a view towards optimizing performance. The results are compared with those for the AxiGen and ShareMailPro email servers, and a lean Java-based...
This paper presents the architecture, design and implementation of an email server that runs on a bare PC without an operating system or hard-disk. In addition to providing standard services offered by conventional email servers, the bare PC email server incorporates several unique features leveraging the absence of an operating system. For example, it implements novel algorithms for optimal multi-tasking,...
Bare PC applications do not use an operating system or kernel. The bare PC architecture avoids buffer copying, minimizes interrupts, uses a single thread of execution for processing network packets, and incorporates novel scheduling to minimize CPU utilization. We design a bare PC Web server that can serve both dynamic and static content. Measurements of response time, connection time and throughput...
We compare VoIP performance on IPv6 and IPv4 LANs in the presence of varying levels of background UDP traffic. A conventional softphone is used to make calls and a bare PC (operating systemless) softphone is used as a control to determine the impact of system overhead. The performance measures are maximum and mean delta (the time between the arrival of voice packets), maximum and mean jitter, packet...
We conduct experiments in a LAN environment to determine the impact of IPsec and 6to4 encapsulation on VoIP quality in future IPv6 networks. We measure VoIP performance in the presence of varying background traffic for each of four IPsec scenarios with IPv6 and 6to4 encapsulation, with and without NAT, and compare with IPv4. The scenarios reflect situations commonly encountered in today's VPNs including...
We present a bare PC Web server design that runs on any Intel 386 based PC without any hard disk and other supporting software. This server design is based on simplicity and minimal functionality. We identify design issues related to such server and provide our preliminary performance measurements in comparison with IIS and Apache servers. We have found that our Web server performs comparable to commercial...
