Open Source Advances in Computer Applications book series provides timely technological and business information for:

Enabling Open Source Systems (OSS) to become an integral part of systems and devices produced by technology companies;

Inserting OSS in the critical path of complex network development and embedded products, including methodologies and tools for domain-specific OSS testing (lab code available), plus certification of security, dependability and safety properties for complex systems;

Ensuring integrated systems,...

With monotonous regularity, headlines announce ever more spectacular failures of information security and mounting losses. The succession of corporate debacles and dramatic control failures in recent years underscores the necessity for information security to be tightly integrated into the fabric of every organization. The protection of an organization's most valuable asset information can no longer be relegated to low-level technical personnel, but must be considered an essential element of corporate governance that...

One of the challenges facing the current Internet architecture is the incorporation of mobile and multi-homed terminals (hosts), and an overall lack of protection against Denial-of-Service attacks and identity spoofing. The Host Identity Protocol...

Addressing real-world implementation issues, this text emphasizes cryptographic algorithm and protocol implementation in hardware, software, and embedded systems. It focuses on cryptographic algorithms, such as symmetric- and public-key, before dealing with the construction of cryptographic protocols. The author examines tradeoffs between code size, hardware logic resource requirements, memory usage, speed, power consumption, and more. He includes many examples and problems to evaluate implementation results of several software and hardware languages. He also provides C and VHDL frameworks...

Nearly all books that address the topic of trade secrets have the "spy vs. spy" perspective. The author approaches the topic from a practical business perspective and not simply creating "paranoia" for paranoia's sake. The material for this book comes from the author's extensive work experience as a computer forensics...

How well does your enterprise stand up against today's sophisticated security threats? In this book, security experts from Cisco Systems demonstrate how to detect damaging security incidents on your global network--first by teaching you which assets you need to monitor closely, and then by helping you develop targeted strategies and pragmatic techniques to protect them.

Security Monitoring is based on the authors' years of experience conducting incident response to keep Cisco's global network secure. It offers six steps to improve network monitoring. These steps will help...

As industrial control systems (ICS), including SCADA, DCS, and other process control networks, become Internet-facing, they expose crucial services to attack. Threats like Duqu, a sophisticated worm found in the wild that appeared to share portions of its code with the Stuxnet worm, emerge with increasing frequency.

Explaining how to develop and implement an effective cybersecurity program for ICS, Cybersecurity for Industrial Control Systems: SCADA, DCS, PLC, HMI, and SIS provides you with the tools to ensure network security without sacrificing the...

If you think computer security has improved in recent years, The Myths of Security will shake you out of your complacency. Longtime security professional John Viega, formerly Chief Security Architect at McAfee, reports on the sorry state of the industry, and offers concrete suggestions for professionals and individuals confronting the issue.

Why is security so bad? With many more people online than just a few years ago, there are more attackers -- and they're truly motivated. Attacks are sophisticated, subtle, and harder to detect than ever. But, as Viega notes, few...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Cryptology in India, INDOCRYPT 2003, held in New Delhi, India in December 2003.

The 29 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 101 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on stream ciphers, block ciphers, Boolean functions, secret sharing, bilinear pairings, public key cryptography, signature schemes, protocols, elliptic curve cryptography and algebraic geometry, implementation and digital watermarking, and...
