The book to which I was asked by the editors to write a foreword is an interesting collection of contributions. It presents the extended versions of the authors' works already introduced at the International Multi-Conference on Advanced Computer Information and Security Systems ACS-CISIM 2005. These contributions had already been reviewed once before the conference for presentation at the conference while some of them passed another selection to be prepared in their current versions for this boo...

Secure message transmission is of extreme importance in today's information-based society. Stream encryption is a practically important means to this end. This monograph is devoted to a new aspect of stream ciphers, namely the stability theory of stream ciphers, with the purpose of developing bounds on complexity which can form part of the basis for a general theory of data security and of stabilizing stream-cipher systems. The approach adopted in this monograph...

Attacking Network Protocols is a deep dive into network protocol security from James ­Forshaw, one of the world’s leading bug ­hunters. This comprehensive guide looks at networking from an attacker’s perspective to help you discover, exploit, and ultimately ­protect vulnerabilities. You’ll start with a rundown of networking basics and protocol traffic capture before moving on to static and dynamic protocol analysis, common protocol structures, cryptography, and protocol security. Then you’ll tu...

Linux Security sets forth the concepts of general security for experienced Linux users and system administrators. Author Dave Wreski decodes the complexities of building and maintaining a secure host, dealing with internal and external threats, and handling difficult security implementations. With sections on the most popular distributions, this is both an in-depth reference and a practical guide to securing all types of Linux systems.

Bulletproof SSL and TLS is a complete guide to using SSL and TLS encryption to deploy secure servers and web applications. Written by Ivan Ristic, the author of the popular SSL Labs web site, this book will teach you everything you need to know to protect your systems from eavesdropping and impersonation attacks. In this book, you'll find just the right mix of theory, protocol detail, vulnerability and weakness information, and deployment advice to get your job done: Comprehensive coverage of t...

Using the quantum properties of single photons to exchange binary keys between two partners for subsequent encryption of secret data is an absolutely novel te- nology. Only a few years ago quantum cryptography – or better Quantum Key Distribution – was the domain of basic research laboratories at universities. But during the last few years things changed. Quantum Key Distribution or QKD left the laboratories and was picked up by more practical-oriented teams that worked hard to develop a practic...

Applied Cryptography for Cyber Security and Defense: Information Encryption and Cyphering applies the principles of cryptographic systems to real-world scenarios, explaining how cryptography can protect businesses’ information and ensure privacy for their networks and databases. It delves into the specific security requirements within various emerging application areas and discusses procedures for engineering cryptography into system design and implementation.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Detection of Intrusions and Malware, and Vulnerability Assessment, DIMVA 2016, held in San Sebastián, Spain, in July 2016. The 19 revised full papers and 2 extended abstracts presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 submissions. They present the state of the art in intrusion detection, malware analysis, and vulnerability assessment, dealing with novel ideas, techniques, and applications in impor...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the first International Symposium on Cyber Security Cryptography and Machine Learning, held in Beer-Sheva, Israel, in June 2017.

The preservation of private data is a main concern of governments, organizations, and individuals alike. For individuals, a breach in personal information can mean dire consequences for an individual’s finances, medical information, and personal property. Identity Theft: Breakthroughs in Research and Practice highlights emerging perspectives and critical insights into the preservation of personal data and the complications that can arise when one’s identity is compromised. This critical volume...

In the last few decades, the use of the Internet has grown tremendously, and the use of online communications has grown even more. The lack of security in private messages between individuals, however, allows hackers to collect loads of sensitive information. Modern security measures are required to prevent this attack on the world's communication technologies. Advanced Digital Image Steganography Using LSB, PVD, and EMD: Emerging Research and Opportunities provides evolving research exploring...

The mid-1990ssaw an exciting convergenceof a number of dieren t information protection technologies, whose theme was the hiding (as opposed to encryption) of information. Copyright marking schemes are about hiding either copyright notices or individual serial numbers imperceptibly in digital audio and video, as a component in intellectual property protection systems; anonymous c- munication is another area of rapid growth, with people designing systems for electronic cash, digital elections, and...

Lattice-based cryptography is the use of conjectured hard problems on point lattices in Rn as the foundation for secure cryptographic systems. Attractive features of lattice cryptography include apparent resistance to quantum attacks (in contrast with most number-theoretic cryptography), high asymptotic efficiency and parallelism, security under worst-case intractability assumptions, and solutions to long-standing open problems in cryptography. This monograph surveys most of the major developme...

Critical infrastructure sectors are those whose assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, are deemed so important to nations that their incapacitation or destruction would have a crippling effect on national security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination of these. Each country might define their unique critical infrastructure. In this book, we compiled nine critical infrastructure sectors: Emergency Services, Energy, Finance, Food, Go...
