Perfectly-secure cryptography is a branch of information-theoretic cryptography. A perfectly-secure cryptosystem guarantees that the malicious third party cannot guess anything regarding the plain text or the key, even in the case of full access to the cipher text. Despite this advantage, there are only a few real-world implementations of perfect secrecy due to some well-known limitations. Any simple, straightforward modeling can pave the way for further advancements in the implementation, especially in environments with time and resource constraints such as IoT. This book takes one step...

The book presents the proceedings of the 30th Biennial Symposium on Communications 2021 (BSC21), a prestigious international research conference in communications, information theory, and signal processing. Started in 1962 by Queen’s University, Canada, the Symposium is now presented by the Canadian Society of Information Theory. Its 30th edition was hosted virtually by The University of Saskatchewan and held in Saskatoon from June 28 to 30, 2021. Topics include Communication and Information Theory, Coding and Signal Processing for Communications, and Multiple Antenna Systems and...

This book presents state-of-the-art trends in reconfigurable active and passive planar antennas and their applications in wireless communication systems operating in the frequency band 5-6 GHz. Due to various key features such as multifunction antenna design, compactness, planar nature, and low cost, these technologies are becoming popular for current and future wireless applications. This book discusses different novel antenna designs and their working principles in detail. The modern and future wireless systems require wideband antennas to accommodate various channels in a single band or...

This book covers network analysis and architecture for large-scale computer network planning. Networks and the Internet are essential for modern industries and societies. Building a new network, upgrading an existing network, or planning to use a public network requires integrating various network mechanisms and technologies in a cohesive fashion. This demands a deep understanding of the concepts, principles, processes, approaches, and good practices of advanced network planning. More specifically, emphasizing service-based networking, the book introduces structured processes for network...
