Transcoding proxy strategy has been widely used as a means to reduce the delay in retrieving Web pages over wireless mobile data service networks. However, this strategy has the serious drawbacks of being a potential point of failure or a bottleneck of the service. We developed a distributed proxy server system in which multiple proxy servers are installed at geographically dispersed locations and share the workloads among them by serving mobile hosts only within assigned regions. A new handoff message protocol to enable handoffs between proxies as the mobile hosts move between regions is proposed. According to the proxy server handoff protocol, a client agent at the mobile horst requests a proxy server to start handoff processing by which two proxy servers synchronize distilled data belonging to a HTTP session that must be maintained across the handoff. Also, we introduce the architecture of the proxy server and the client agent that handles the proxy server handoff. Finally, we evaluate the proposed system through performance test.

Traffic monitoring, a part of the system management, is a vital function lot the proper operation of a system in use. Currently OMG has been trying to standardize CORBA system management. Besides, many companies and research laboratories have been developing and studying CORBA system management. In this paper, we have designed the proxy to monitor the CORBA traffic using the OSI management technology. To manage CORBA traffic resources, 6 parameters have been made into managed objects. The monitoring system consists of a CORBA server, a proxy object and an MIB. The CORBA server is made up of a service provider, a proxy server, and a event sewer. The proxy object acts as a process of a CORBA object, and is made up of a proxy client, a event client, and an IPC server.

A key agreement protocol is the most important part to establish a secure cryptographic system and the effort to standardize the key agreement protocols is in rapid progress. Several efficient and secure key agreement protocols have been proposed so far since Diffie-Hellman proposed a public key agreement system in 1976. But, since Diffie-Hellman based key agreement protocols need a lot of computation to establish the session key, they are not suitable for wireless Internet environment. In this paper, we propose the efficient key agreement protocol using Proxy server. The Proposed Protocol gives the security equivalent to that the Diffie-Hellman based Protocol and the computation work of mobile user can be decreased using proxy server.

The main bottleneck for a VOD system is bandwidth of storage or network I/O due to the high bandwidth requirements and long-lived nature of digital video. Patching is one of the most efficient techniques to overcome the bottleneck of the VOD system through the use of multicast scheme. In this paper, we propose a new patching scheme, P2P proxy patching, for improving the typical patching technique by jointly using the proxy prefix caching scheme and the P2P proxy. In our proposed scheme, each client play a role in a proxy for multicasting a regular stream to other clients that request the same stream. Due the use of the P2P proxy and the prefix caching, the server bandwidth is required significantly less than that of the typical patching technique. In the performance study, we show that our patching scheme can reduce the server bandwidth requirements compared with the existing patching techniques.

As different from wired internet, wireless internet has limitations due to the following characteristics; low bandwidth, frequent disconnection, low computing power, small screen in user terminal, and user mobility. Also, wireless internet server should be scalable to handle a large scale traffic due to rapidly growing users. Wireless proxy servers are used for the wireless internet because their caching and transcoding functions are helpful to overcome the above limitation. TranSend was proposed as a clustering based wireless proxy server but its scalability is difficult to achieve because there is no systematic way to do it. In this Paper. we proposed a clustering based wireless internet proxy server which can be scalable in a systematic way. We performed experiments using 16 PCs and experimental results show 32.17% performance improvement of the proposed system compared to TranSend system.

In current e-commerce system, it happens that client's confidential information such as credit card numbers, pin numbers, or digital certificate may pass through a web proxy server or an altered proxy server without client's awareness. Even though the confidential information is encrypted and sent through SSL(Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS(Transport Layer Security) protocol, it can be exposed to the risk of sniffing by the digital certificate forgery at the proxy server, which is called the SSL MITM(Man-In-The-Middle) Proxy attack. In this paper, current credit card web-payment systems, which is weak at proxy information alternation attack, are analyzed. A resolution with certificate proxy server is also proposed to prevent the MITM attack.

Disk I/O is a major performance bottleneck of web proxy server. Today's most web proxy sowers are design to run on top of a general purpose file system. But general purpose file system can not efficiently handle web cache workload, small files, leading to the performance degradation of entire web proxy servers. In this paper we evaluate the performance potential of raw disk to reduce disk I/O overhead of web proxy servers. To show the performance potential of raw disk, we design a storage management system called Block-structured Storage Management System (BSMS). And we also actually implement web proxy server that incorporate BSMS in Squid. Comprehensive experimental evaluations show that raw disk can be a good solution to improve disk I/O performance significantly for web proxy servers.

In this paper, we provide a design of DAVIC VOD service system with proxy servers which perform caching of video streams. Proxy servers are placed between a service provider system and service consumer systems. They provide video services to consumers on behalf of the service provider, therefore they reduce the loads of service providers and network. The operation of a proxy server depends on whether the requested program is in its storage. If this is the case, the prosy servere takes all the controls, but if the proxy does not have the program, it forwards the service request the proxy server takes all the controls, but if the prosy does not have the program, it forwards the service request to a service provider. While the service provider system provides the program to the consumer, the proxy copies and caches the program. The proxy server executes cache replacement, if necessary. We show by simultion that the LFU is the most efficiency caching replacement algorithm among the typical algorithms such as LRU, LFU, FIFO.

The proxy mechanism widely used in WWW systems offers low-delay data delivery by means of "proxy server". By applying the proxy mechanisms to the video streaming system, we expect that high-quality and low-delay video distribution can be accomplished without introducing extra load on the system. In addition, it is effective to adapt the quality of cached video data appropriately in the proxy if user requests are diverse due to heterogeneity in terms of the available bandwidth, end-system performance, and user′s preferences on the perceived video quality. We have proposed proxy caching mechanisms to accomplish the high-quality and highly-interactive video streaming services. In our proposed system, a video stream is divided into blocks for efficient use of the cache buffer. The proxy server is assumed to be able to adjust the quality of a cached or retrieved video block to the request through video filters. In this paper, to verify the practicality of our mechanisms, we implemented them on a real system and conducted experiments. Through evaluations from several performance aspects, it was shown that our proposed mechanisms can provide users with a low-latency and high-quality video streaming service in a heterogeneous environment.

Recently, there have been some trials to use a TV system as an Internet terminal for easier and more convenient use of Internet. Because a TV Web browser system has a TV display with a set-top box as an execution environment, it has some limits and there are specific requirements. The efficient implementation of the Web browser for TV needs the proxy server that includes HTML conversions for TV environments as well as general cash functions. In order to implement a Web environment on general TV and set-tops, we introduce a distributed structure using a proxy server and propose TV - HTML conversions as an important feature of the proxy server.
