Tordre les archives (queering archives) : oui, mais dans quel sens ? by Ruby Faure

“…A reading of the archive against the grain tends instead to identify the devices of power and the mechanisms of censorship that constitute and delimit the queer archive, its losses and resistances. Reading along the grain finally makes room for the otherness and contradictions of a subaltern perverse past, which cannot be assimilated to the contemporary narratives of liberal and nationalist democracies. …”

Optimal path identification to defend against DDoS attacks by JIN Guang1, YANG Jian-gang1, LI Yuan2, ZHANG Hui-zhan2

“…A novel packet marking scheme,optimal path identification（OPi）,was proposed to defend against DDoS at-tacks.Instead of using fixed 1 or 2 bit in previous schemes,in OPi a router deduces the traveling distance of an arrived packet by its TTL value and inserts a variable-length marking of 1~16 bit into the packet.The marking field is filled completely even the path is very short and the distinguishability is improved.OPi outperforms previous schemes,espe-cially when attacker paths adjoin user paths seriously.To obtain better performance,an OPi+TTL filtering strategy was proposed to frustrate attackers’ tries with spoofed initial TTL values.Theoretical analyses and simulations with actual Internet topologies show OPi performs excellently.…”
