This book documents the R&D outcome of the PRIME Project, an R&D project partially funded by the European Union's Sixth Framework Programme and the Swiss Federal Office for Education and Science. PRIME has focused on privacy-enhancing identity management techniques and systems to support users' sovereignty over their personal privacy and enterprises' privacy-compliant data processing. During the course of four years, the project has involved over a hundred researchers and professionals from 22 major European academic and industrial organizations conducting R&D work in areas relevant to...

This issue of the Transactions on Computational Science journal focuses on security in computing. It covers a wide range of applications and designs, such as new architectures, novel hardware implementations, cryptographic algorithms and security protocols.

Coding theory and cryptography allow secure and reliable data transmission, which is at the heart of modern communication. Nowadays, it is hard to find an electronic device without some code inside. Grobner bases have emerged as the main tool in computational algebra, permitting numerous applications, both in theoretical contexts and in practical situations.

This book is the first book ever giving a comprehensive overview on the application of commutative algebra to coding theory and cryptography. For example, all important properties of algebraic/geometric coding systems (including...

Biometrics is becoming increasingly common in establishments that require high security such as state security and financial sectors. The increased threat to national security by terrorists has led to the explosive popularity of biometrics. A number of biometric devices are now available to capture biometric measurements such as fingerprints, palm, retinal scans, keystroke, voice recognition and facial scanning. However, the accuracy of these measurements varies, which has a direct relevance on the levels of security they offer. With the need to combat the problems related to identify...
