This SpringerBrief presents the concept of the smart grid architecture and investigates the security issues of the smart grid and the existing encrypted data query techniques. Unique characteristics of smart grid impose distinguished challenges on this investigation, such as multidimensional attributes in metering data and finer grained query on each dimension. Three kinds of queries are introduced, namely, equality query, conjunctive query and range query. For the equality query over encrypted metering data, an efficient searchable encryption scheme is introduced and can be applied for...

This book is a complete, single information source of techniques for complex security and privacy issues in vehicular ad hoc networks

• Take a cooperative approach towards addressing the technology's challenges of security and privacy issues
• Explores interdisciplinary methods by combining social science, cryptography, and privacy enhancing technique
• Richly illustrated with detailed designs and results for all approaches used
• Introduces standardization and industry activities, and government regulation in secure vehicular networking

This book provides an overview of security and privacy issues in smart grid communications, as well as the challenges in addressing these issues. It also introduces several privacy enhancing aggregation techniques including multidimensional data aggregation, subset data aggregation, multifunctional data aggregation, data aggregation with fault tolerance, data aggregation with differential privacy, and data aggregation with integrity protection. Offering a comprehensive exploration of various privacy preserving data aggregation techniques, this book is an exceptional resource for the...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22ndInternational Conference on Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing, ICA3PP 2022, which was held in October 2022. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually.The 33 full papers and 10 short papers, presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 91 submissions.The papers cover many dimensions of parallel algorithms and architectures, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems

This volume constitutes selected papers presented at the Third International Symposium on Emerging Information Security and Applications, EISA 2022, held in Wuhan, China, in October 2022. Due to COVID-19, EISA 2022 was held fully online.The 13 full papers presented in this volume were thoroughly reviewed and selected from the 35 submissions. They present a discussion on the emerging techniques, theories and applications to enhance information and application security in practice.
