Although most people don't give security much attention until their personal or business systems are attacked, this thought-provoking anthology demonstrates that digital security is not only worth thinking about, it's also a fascinating topic. Criminals succeed by exercising enormous creativity, and those defending against them must do the same.

Beautiful Security explores this challenging subject with insightful essays and analysis on topics that include:

• The underground economy for personal information: how it works, the relationships among criminals,...

From basic concepts to research grade material and future directions, the Near Field Communications Handbook provides comprehensive technical coverage of this rapidly emerging field. Walking readers through emerging applications, it offers a glimpse at a future in which near field communication (NFC) technology is fully integrated into daily life.

Containing cutting-edge contributions from 50 experts from around the world, the book covers the range of topics related to NFC. It begins with an overview of the basics in digital, biometric, and mobile identity...

With most services and products now being offered through digital communications, new challenges have emerged for information security specialists. A Multidisciplinary Introduction to Information Security presents a range of topics on the security, privacy, and safety of information and communication technology. It brings together methods in pure mathematics, computer and telecommunication sciences, and social sciences.

The book begins with the cryptographic algorithms of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman (RSA). It...

Rechnernetze sind ein zentrales Thema in der Informatik-Ausbildung und gewinnen immer mehr an Bedeutung. Dieses Lehrbuch, das aus Vorlesungen an der TU Munchen entstanden ist, bietet einen fundierten und gleichzeitig knappen und ubersichtlichen Uberblick uber Technik, Protokolle, Systeme und Anwendungen von Rechnernetzen. Zur Darstellung der Technik und der Strukturen von Rechnernetzen orientiert sich der Aufbau des Buches an den Schichten des ISO/OSI-Referenzmodelles. Es geht auf Techniken und Protokolle des Internets ein und behandelt die Themen Netzmanagement, ISDN und...

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a protocol that allows data, sound and video being transferred between independent networks via ISDN links to be supplied to, and interpreted by, the various system protocols.

ATM and Internet Protocol explains the working of the ATM and B-ISDN network for readers with a basic understanding of telecommunications. It provides a handy reference to everyone working with ATM who may not require the full standards in detail, but need a comprehensive guide to ATM. A substantial section is devoted to the problems of running IP over ATM and there is some...

This Festschrift volume is published to honour both Dines Bjorner and Zhou Chaochen on the occasion of their 70th birthdays. The volume includes 25 refereed papers by leading researchers, current and former colleagues, who congregated at a celebratory symposium held in Macao, China, in the course of the International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing, ICTAC 2007. The papers cover a broad spectrum of subjects.

This fascinating new work comes complete with more than 100 illustrations and a detailed practical prototype. It explores the domains encountered when designing a distributed embedded computer control system as an integrated whole. Basic issues about real-time systems and their properties, especially safety, are examined first. Then, system and hardware architectures are dealt with, along with programming issues, embodying desired properties, basic language subsets, object orientation and language support for hardware and software specifications.
