The primary goal of this book is to present the basic concepts in computer and networksecurity.Thestartingpointforthebookwasthelecturenotesthatwere used for teaching the undergraduate course on computer security at the U- versity of Wollongong (Australia). Later more topics were added to the book. Thesetopics weremainlytaught topostgraduatestudentsasanadvancedcr- tography course. Some chapters, especially those towards the end of the book, were included to help students in their seminar presentations. The book was recently used as the textbook for a new course, Cryptography and Infor- tion...

Presenting recent developments in the design of hashing algorithms, this treatise covers all practical and theoretical issues. Hashing is the process involved in creating a short digest for a message of arbitrary length.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the First Australiasian Conference on Information Security and Privacy, ACISP '96, held in Wollongong, NSW, Australia, in June 1996.
The volume includes revised full versions of the 26 refereed papers accepted for presentation at the conference; also included are three invited contributions. The papers are organized in topical sections on authentication, secret sharing, encryption and cryptographic functions, authentication protocols, stream ciphers, access control, security models and intrusion detection,...

The 9th Australasian Conference on Information Security and Privacy (ACISP 2004) was held in Sydney, 13-15 July, 2004. The conference was sponsored by the Centre for Advanced Computing - Algorithms and Cryptography (ACAC), Information and Networked Security Systems Research (INSS), Macquarie U- versity and the Australian Computer Society.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second Australasian Conference on Information Security and Privacy, ACISP'97, held in Sydney, NSW, Australia, in July 1997.
The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully selected for inclusion in the proceedings. The book is divided into sections on security models and access control, network security, secure hardware and implementation issues, cryptographic functions and ciphers, authentication codes and secret sharing systems, cryptanalysis, key escrow, security protocols and key management, and applications.

The RSA Conference is an annual event that attracts hundreds of vendors and thousands of participants from industry and academia. Since 2001, the conf- ence has included an academic Cryptographers'Track (CT-RSA). This year was the 10th anniversary of CT-RSA. Since its conception, the CT-RSA conference has become a major avenue for publishing high-quality research papers. The RSA conference was held in San Francisco, California, during March 1-5, 2010. This year we received94 submissions. Eachpaper gotassignedto three ref- ees. Papers submitted by the members of the Program Committee got...

This reference work looks at modern concepts of computer security. It introduces the basic mathematical background necessary to follow computer security concepts before moving on to modern developments in cryptography. The concepts are presented clearly and illustrated by numerous examples. Subjects covered include: private-key and public-key encryption, hashing, digital signatures, authentication, secret sharing, group-oriented cryptography, and many others. The section on intrusion detection and access control provide examples of security systems implemented as a part of operating system....

Information Systems (IS) are a nearly omnipresent aspect of the modern world, playing crucial roles in the fields of science and engineering, business and law, art and culture, politics and government, and many others. As such, identity theft and unauthorized access to these systems are serious concerns. Theory and Practice of Cryptography Solutions for Secure Information Systems explores current trends in IS security technologies, techniques, and concerns, primarily through the use of cryptographic tools to safeguard valuable information resources. This reference book serves the needs of...
