The papers are organized in topical sections on symmetric cryptosystems, secure computation, attribute-based and functional encryption, proofs systems, protocols, hash functions,...

Die Praxis zeigt, dass bei der Entwicklung großer, komplexer Softwaresysteme Sicherheitsaspekte oft gar nicht oder erst sehr spät berücksichtigt werden. IT-Security-Spezialisten werden in die Entwicklung neuer Systeme oft nicht eingebunden, und Softwareentwicklern fehlt häufig das Bewusstsein für Sicherheitsprobleme und die nötigen Detailkenntnisse, vorhandene Lösungen richtig einzusetzen. Hier setzt das Buch an und schlägt eine Brücke von der Softwaresicht zu mehr netzwerkorientierten Aspekten...

This volume contains the papers presented at the 22nd Annual IFIP WG 11.3 Working Conference on Data and Applications Security (DBSEC) held in L- don, UK, July 13–16, 2008. This year’s working conference continued its tra- tion of being a forum for disseminating original research results and practical experiences in data and applications security. This year we had an excellent program that consists of 9 research paper s- sions with 22 high-quality research papers, which were selected from a tota...

Organizations around the world are in a struggle for survival, racing to transform themselves in a herculean effort to adapt to the digital age, all while protecting themselves from headline-grabbing cybersecurity threats. As organizations succeed or fail, the centrality and importance of cybersecurity and the role of the CISO—Chief Information Security Officer—becomes ever more apparent. It's becoming clear that the CISO, which began as a largely technical role, has become nuanced, strategic, a...

Decentralized finance (DeFi) is a rapidly growing field in fintech, having grown from $700 million to $100 billion over the past three years alone. But the lack of reliable information makes this area both risky and murky. In this practical book, experienced securities attorney Alexandra Damsker explains DeFi's role in both blockchain and finance. Ideal for developers looking to build decentralized applications (DApps), this book compares DeFi to traditional bank-led fintech and explains why De...

Corporate and individual behaviors are increasingly scrutinized as reports of scandals around the world are frequently becoming the subject of attention. Additionally, the security of data and information and ethical problems that arise when enforcing the appropriate security initiatives are becoming prevalent as well. Current Security Management & Ethical Issues of Information Technology focuses on these issues and more, at a time when the global society greatly needs to re-examine the existing...

Despite being 2000 years old, cryptography is still a very active field of research. New needs and application fields, like privacy, the Internet of Things (IoT), physically unclonable functions (PUFs), post-quantum cryptography, and quantum key distribution, will keep fueling the work in this field. This book discusses quantum cryptography, lightweight cryptography for IoT, PUFs, cryptanalysis, and more. It provides a snapshot of some recent research results in the field, providing readers with...

Since 1993, the Information Security Management Handbook has served not only as an everyday reference for information security practitioners but also as an important document for use by practitioners to conduct the intense review necessary to prepare for the Certified Information System Security Professional (CISSP) examination. Preparing for the examination is a major effort because it requires a thorough understanding of the topics contained in the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) for the fiel...

Blockchain is an emerging technology that can radically improve security in transaction networks, it provides the basis for a dynamic distributed ledger that can be applied to save time when recording transactions between parties, remove costs associated with intermediaries, and reduce risks of fraud and tampering. This book explores the fundamentals and applications of Blockchain technology; the transparent, secure, immutable and distributed database used currently as the underlying technology...

Guardians of Data: A Comprehensive Guide to Digital Data Protection which helps to reduce risks of data loss by monitoring and controlling the flow of sensitive data via the network, email or web. This book also shows the guidance about data protection that data is not corrupted, is accessible for authorized purposes only, and is in compliance with applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Guardians of Data means protecting data, networks, programs and other information from unauthorized or...

Cryptology, the art and science of 'secret writing', provides ideal methods to solve the problems of transmitting information secretly and securely. The first half of this book studies and analyzes classical cryptosystems. The second half looks at the exciting new directions of public-key cryptology. The book is fun to read, and the author presents the material clearly and simply. Many exercises and references accompany each chapter.

These are the proceedings of CHES'99, the rst workshop on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems. As it becomes more obvious that strong security will be an important part of the next generation of communication, computer, and electronic consumer devices, we felt that a new type of cryp- graphic conference was needed. Our goal was to create a forum which discusses innovative solutions for cryptography in practice. Consequently, the focus of the CHES Workshop is on all aspects of cryptograph...

The CQRE [Secure] conference provides a new international forum giving a close-up view on information security in the context of rapidly evolving economic processes. The unprecedented reliance on computer technology has transformed the previous technical side-issue "information security" to a management problem requiring decisions of strategic importance. Thus one of the main goals of the conference is to provide a platform for both technical specialists as well as decision makers from governmen...

In the five years since the first edition of this classic book was published, Internet use has exploded. The commercial world has rushed headlong into doing business on the Web, often without integrating sound security technologies and policies into their products and methods. The security risks--and the need to protect both business and personal data--have never been greater. We've updated Building Internet Firewalls to address these newer risks. What kinds of security threats does the In...

As a society that relies on technology to thrive, we face a growing number of potentially catastrophic threats to network security daily. DATABASE SECURITY delivers the know-how and skills IT Professionals must have to protect technology infrastructures, intellectual property, and the company's prosperity. From database installation and testing to auditing and SQL Injection, DATABASE this text delves into the essential processes and protocols that prevent intrusions, while reinforcing each topic...

Intrusion detection is not for the faint at heart. But, if you are a network administrator chances are you're under increasing pressure to ensure that mission-critical systems are safe--in fact impenetrable--from malicious code, buffer overflows, stealth port scans, SMB probes, OS fingerprinting attempts, CGI attacks, and other network intruders. Designing a reliable way to detect intruders before they get in is a vital but daunting challenge. Because of this, a plethora of complex, sophisticate...

When it comes to network security, many users and administrators are running scared, and justifiably so. The sophistication of attacks against computer systems increases with each new Internet worm. What's the worst an attacker can do to you? You'd better find out, right? That's what Security Warrior teaches you. Based on the principle that the only way to defend yourself is to understand your attacker in depth, Security Warrior reveals how your systems can be attacked. Covering everything from...

We are glad to present in this volume the proceedings of the ninth edition of Information Hiding (IH 2007). The conference was held in Saint Malo, the C- sairs town, France, during June 11–13, 2007. It was organized by a team of four Frenchpiratessupported by the valuablehelp of the conferenceorganizationcell of INRIA Rennes. Continuing the tradition of the previous editions, we tried to provide a b- anced program covering the di?erent aspects of information hiding. This being said, the selectio...
