Regional Economic Communities in Africa as a Conflict Mitigation Mechanism: The Case of the Economic Community of West African States
… in the 1990s to include conflict prevention and mitigation. The Council of the Wise, a group of respected elders from ECOWAS member states, was created to engage in preventive diplomacy and is a unique institution based on African cultures’ respect for elders as mediators. The research question …

Mitigating Memory Controller Side Channels
… data, emphasizing the importance of employing mitigations to block the ability of an attacker to leak information. Existing state-of-the-art memory timing side channel mitigations have several key performance and security limitations. Prior schemes require onerous static bandwidth partitioning, …

Circumventing Memory Corruption Mitigations in the Spectre Era: Real-World Attacks and Systematic Analysis of Defenses
… a drastic re-evaluation of all memory corruption mitigations under a synergistic threat model; a threat model that encompasses both the memory corruption threat model and the side channel threat model. Driven by this need, the thesis next presents Penetrating Shields, a systematic analysis of …

Denial-of-Sleep Vulnerabilities and Defenses in Wireless Sensor Network MAC Protocols
… simplicity of these devices makes defense mechanisms designed for traditional networks infeasible. This work explores the denial-of-sleep attack, in which a sensor node's power supply is targeted. Attacks of this type can reduce sensor lifetime from years to days and can have a devastating …

MITIGATION OF TEMPERATURE POLARIZATION AND MINERAL SCALING IN MEMBRANE DISTILLATION: THE IMPACT OF INDUCTION HEATED ELEMENTS
… stream exiting the MD process. The scaling mitigation mechanism is hypothesized to be a result of the high-frequency movement and collision of the ions in the solution. The second approach is based on using RF heated stainless steel thermally conducting feed spacers, thus, coupling heating …

Design of a High Capacity, Scalable, and Green Wireless Communication System Leveraging the Unlicensed Spectrum
… presents a proactive small cell interference mitigation strategy for improving the spectral efficiency of LTE networks in the unlicensed spectrum. It describes the scenario and demonstrate via simulation results, that in the absence of an explicit interference mitigation mechanism, there will …

Robust and cheating-resilient power auctioning on Resource Constrained Smart Micro-Grids
… provoke a break-down of the grid marketing mechanism). In addition, the decentralised approach in our algorithm can help eliminate privacy and security concerns associated with centralised CDAs. Second, to handle CDA performance issues due to malfunctioning devices on an unreliable network …
