Because of explosive growth in demand for web-based multimedia applications, proper proxy caching for large multimedia object (especially video) has become needed. For a video object which is much larger in size and has different access characteristics than the traditional web object such as image and text, caching the whole video file as a single web object is not efficient for the proxy cache. In this paper, we propose a proxy caching strategy with the constant-sized segment for video file and an improved proxy cache replacement policy. Through the event-driven simulation under various conditions, we show that our proposal is more efficient than the variable-sized segment strategy which has been proven to have higher hit ratio than other traditional proxy cache strategies.

Transcoding video proxy is necessary to support various bandwidth requirements for mobile multimedia and to provide adapting video streams to mobile clients. Caching algorithms for proxy are to reduce the network traffic between the content servers and the proxy. This paper proposes a Meta-tailed caching for transcoding proxy that is efficient to lower network load and CPU load. Caching of two different data types - transcoded video, and metadata - provides a foundation to achieve superior balance between network resource and computation resource at transcoding proxies. Experimental results show that the Meta-tailed caching lowers at least 10% of CPU-load and at least 9% of network-load at a transcoding proxy.

In real life, we frequently use th proxy signatrue by delegating one's own privileges. It is necessary to distribute the data related to privilege delegation securely in order to use such a proxy signature in the Internet. However, inorder to use the secure proxy signature, we need to have some mechanism to prevent a proxy signer from misuse of privileges by applying proxy certificate and a privilege delegation mechanism to manage information with related to privilege delegarion. In addition, we have implemented the prototype to demonstrate the possible proxy signature service using proxy certificate.

Proxy re-encryption scheme has advantage where plaintext does not get exposed during re-encryption process. This scheme is popular for sharing server-saved data in case of cloud computing or mobile office that uses server to save data. Since previous proxy re-encryption schemes can use re-encryption key over and over again, it may abuse re-encryption. To solve this problem, conditional proxy re-encryption scheme was proposed. But, it is computationally expensive generate the same number of re-encryption key with the number of condition values. In this paper, we propose an efficient conditional proxy re-encryption scheme in terms of re-encryption key generation. The proposed scheme uses only encryption and decryption process. Therefore it has advantage to generate one re-encryption key for one person. The proposed scheme is secure against chosen-ciphertext attack.

Video proxy server which is located near clients can store the frequently requested video data in storage space in order to minimize initial latency and network traffic significantly. However, due to the limited storage space in video proxy server, an appropriate video selection method is needed to store the videos which are frequently requested by users. Thus, we present a time constraint multiple access technique to efficiently store the video in video proxy server. If the video is requested by user, it is temporarily stored during the predefined interval and then, delivered to the user. A video which is stored is deleted or moved into the storage space of video proxy server depending on the request condition. In addition, we propose a video deletion method in video proxy server for newly stored video data. The simulation results show that the proposed method performs better than other methods in terms of the block hit rate and the number of block deletion.

Mobile Internet allows users to request critical information and receive swift responses at any places, but mobile users could suffer from unreliable and ill-timed services due to the characteristics of wireless media, One way that reduces possibility of the unsatisfactory services is data replication. Data Replica1ion, however, inevitably induces the overhead of maintaining replica consistency which requires more expensive synchronization mechanism. We propose a new replicated data management scheme in distributed mobile environment, In order to alleviate negative impact of synchronization message overhead in fault-prone mobile Internet environment, we devise a new replication control scheme called proxy quorum consensus (PQC), PQC minimizes the message overhead by coordinating quorum access activities by means of proxy mediated voting (PMV) which exploits reliable proxy hosts instead of unreliable mobile hosts in voting process, We also propose a simulation model to show the performance of PQC. Based on the results of the performance evaluation, we conclude that PQC scheme outperforms the traditional schemes.

A sequence number checking technique is proposed to improve the performance of TCP connections in mobile ad hoc networks. While a TCP connection is initialized, a routing protocol takes the responsibility for checking the hop count between a source and destination pair. If the hop count is greater than a predefined value, the routing protocol decides to use a proxy node. The responsibility of a proxy node is to check the correctness of data packets and inform the missing packets by sending an acknowledgement from a proxy node to the source node. By doing so, the source node is able to retransmit any missing packet in advance without waiting until an end-to-end acknowledgement is received from the destination. Simulation results show that the proposed mechanism is able to increase throughput up to 55% in static network and decrease routing overhead up to 95%in mobile network.

The WAP 2.0 system is a newly proposed wireless communication system by the WAP Forum for interoperability across Internet environment and the system takes charge of communication between WAP terminals and existing origin Web servers. The purpose of this paper is 1) to construct a WAP 2.0 proxy proposed by the WAP Forum and 2) to improve the WAP Proxy in order to increase communication efficiency between wired and wireless communication objects. The Improved WAP proxy constructed in this study provides links between wired and wireless communication environments using the split-TCP concept. However, unlike the split-TCP connection, The improved WAP proxy maintains TCP's end-to-end semantics and reduces overhead by avoiding operations as much as possible on the upper protocol layer. In addition, The improved WAP proxy supports SACK(Selective Acknowledgement ) option and Timestamp option for speedy re-transmission which leads to reduction of performance degradation. After constructing the improved WAP proxy under Linux environment, experiments have been taken. The experimental results show that, compared with the experiments when a WAP proxy proposed by the WAP Forum is used, both data transmission delay time and data transmission size decrease to show that communication efficiency is increased. In particular, as packet missing ratio Increases, data transmission size decreases, which demonstrates that the improved WAP proxy is very effective for performance improvement in wireless communication environment.

Due to the limited storage space in video proxy server, it is often required to replace the old video data which is not serviced for long time with the newly requested video. This replacement causes the service delay and increase of network traffic. To circumvent this problem, we propose the an efficient replacement scheme in a video proxy server. In addition, we present a video data management technique for decreasing the number of replacement in video proxy server. For this purpose, we employ a memory in video proxy server. If the video segment which is loaded in memory is requested once again by a different user, this segment is resided in memory. The video in the memory is stored in the video proxy server depending on the consuming pattern by users. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs better than other algorithms in terms of packet hit rate and number of packet replacement.

In on-demand multimedia streaming systems, streaming techniques are usually combined with proxy caching to obtain better performance. The patch streaming technique has no start-up latency inherent to it, but requires extra bandwidth to deliver the media data in patch streams. This paper proposes a proxy caching technique which aims at reducing the bandwidth cost of the patch streaming technique. The proposed approach determines media prefixes with high patching cost and caches the appropriate media prefix at the proxy/local server. Herein the scheme is evaluated using a synthetically generated media access workload and its performance is compared with that of the popularity and prefix-aware interval caching scheme (the prefix part) and with that of patch streaming with no caching. The bandwidth saving, hit ratio and concurrent number of clients are used to compare the performance, and the proposed scheme is found to perform better for different caching capacities of the proxy server.
