TLDR
This document describes the MD5 message-digest algorithm, which takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input.
Abstract
This document describes the MD5 message-digest algorithm. The algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard.

Getting the best out of existing hash functions; or what if we are stuck with SHA?

TL;DR: A thorough treatment of how to soundly design a secure hash function H′ from a given cascade-based hash functions H for various cryptographic applications, such as collision-resistance, one-wayness, pseudorandomness, etc.

Agent-based route optimization for mobile IP

TL;DR: This work proposes an agent-based route optimization, which moves the tasks of maintaining and updating binding caches and encapsulating messages away from individual correspondent nodes to the correspondent agents and outperforms the existing protocols in terms of system message complexity, protocol simplicity, and scalability.

Distributed transaction processing as a reliability concept for mobile agents

TL;DR: This work presents an architecture for a mobile agent system which offers fault tolerance for the whole agent system at a high level and additionally guarantees security for the host as well asSecurity for the agent.

Enhancing survivability of security services using redundancy

TL;DR: This paper advocates the use of redundancy to increase survivability by using multiple methods to implement each security attribute and doing so in ways that can vary unpredictably.

Specification of the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) File Format

TL;DR: This document describes a file format for the storage of flow data based upon the IPFIX Message format that is designed to facilitate interoperability and reusability among a wide variety of flow storage, processing, and analysis tools.
