Modern civilization relies on a functioning information infrastructure. As a result, dependability has become a central issue in all disciplines of systems engineering and software architecture.Theories, methods and tools that help to master the problems encountered in the design process and the management of operations are therefore of utmost importance for the future of information and communication technology.

The present volume documents the results of a research program on Dependable Information and Communication Systems (DICS). The members of the project met in two workshops...

Since the mid 1990s, data hiding has been proposed as an enabling technology for securing multimedia communication, and is now used in various applications including broadcast monitoring, movie fingerprinting, steganography, video indexing and retrieval, and image authentication. Data hiding and cryptographic techniques are often combined to complement each other, thus triggering the development of a new research field in multimedia security. Two related disciplines, steganalysis and data forensics, are also increasingly attracting researchers and forming another new research field in...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems, OPODIS 2006, held at Bordeaux, France, in December 2006. The 28 revised full papers presented together with two invited talks address all current issues in theory, specification, design and implementation of distributed and embedded systems.

This monograph addresses four critical software development aspects for the engineering and execution of applications on parallel and Grid architectures.

A new directive-based language called ZEN is proposed for compact specification of wide value ranges of interest for arbitrary application parameters. The monograph contributes to various research areas related to integrated tool development for efficient engineering and high performance execution of scientific applications in Grid environments.

Thirty years after RSA was first publicized, it remains an active research area. Although several good surveys exist, they are either slightly outdated or only focus on one type of attack. Offering an updated look at this field, Cryptanalysis of RSA and Its Variants presents the best known mathematical attacks on RSA and its main variants, including CRT-RSA, multi-prime RSA, and multi-power RSA.

Divided into three parts, the book first introduces RSA and reviews the mathematical background needed for the majority of attacks described in the remainder of the...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the 10th Annual International Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2003, held in Ottawa, Canada, in August 2003.

The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 85 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on elliptic and hyperelliptic curves, side channel attacks, security protocols and applications, cryptanalysis, cryptographic primitives, stream ciphers, and efficient implementations.

The fusion between graph theory and combinatorial optimization has led to theoretically profound and practically useful algorithms, yet there is no book that currently covers both areas together. Handbook of Graph Theory, Combinatorial Optimization, and Algorithms is the first to present a unified, comprehensive treatment of both graph theory and combinatorial optimization.

Divided into 11 cohesive sections, the handbook s 44 chapters focus on graph theory, combinatorial optimization, and algorithmic issues. The book provides readers with the algorithmic and...

A One-Stop Source of Known Results, a Bibliography of Papers on the Subject, and Novel Research Directions

Focusing on a very active area of research in the last decade, Combinatorics of Compositions and Words provides an introduction to the methods used in the combinatorics of pattern avoidance and pattern enumeration in compositions and words. It also presents various tools and approaches that are applicable to other areas of enumerative combinatorics.

After a historical perspective on research in the area, the text introduces techniques...

Group theoretic problems have propelled scientific achievements across a wide range of fields, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, and the life sciences. Many cryptographic constructions exploit the computational hardness of group theoretical problems, and the area is viewed as a potential source of quantum-resilient cryptographic primitives for the future.
Group Theoretic Cryptography supplies an ideal introduction to cryptography for those who are interested in group theory and want to learn about the possible interplays between the two fields. Assuming an...

Linux ist eine fest etablierte, fur vielfaltige Rechnerarchitekturen verfugbare Plattform und zeichnet sich insbesondere durch die hohe Stabilitat und Sicherheit des Systems aus. Dieses Buch bietet einen fundierten Einstieg in die Linux-Systemadministration unter besonderer Berucksichtigung von SuSE-Linux. Dabei werden systematisch die Installation, Konfiguration und Aktualisierung des Systems, der Umgang mit Dateisystemen sowie die Konfiguration wichtiger Netzwerkdienste dargestellt. Ferner werden zentrale Client/Server-Funktionen und andere fur die Systemadministration wichtige Aufgaben,...

Das vorliegende Handbuch wendet sich an Debian-User, die uber ein vollstandig installiertes und konfiguriertes System verfugen, und nun das breite Spektrum der Anwendungen nutzen mochten.

Im einzelnen werden folgende Themen behandelt: Datenorganisation (Benutzer- und Terminverwaltung, Groupware), Datenhaltung in Datenbanken (PostgreSQL, MySQL), Gestaltung von Grafiken (xfig, gnuplot, freie CAD-Programme), Bildverarbeitung (Gimp), wichtige Anwendungen zur Netzwerkkommunikation (ftp, E-Mail, write, talk, IRC, Instant Messaging, Voice over IP). Ferner werden freie Programme...
