DDoS Attacks: Evolution, Detection, Prevention, Reaction, and Tolerance discusses the evolution of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, how to detect a DDoS attack when one is mounted, how to prevent such attacks from taking place, and how to react when a DDoS attack is in progress, with the goal of tolerating the attack. It introduces types and characteristics of DDoS attacks, reasons why such attacks are often successful, what aspects of the network infrastructure are usual targets, and methods used to launch attacks.

The book elaborates upon the...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Security, Privacy, and Applied Cryptography Engineering, SPACE 2015, held in Jaipur, India, in October 2015.

The 17 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The book also contains 4 invited talks in full-paper length."

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to advanced topics in the computational and algorithmic aspects of number theory, focusing on applications in cryptography. Readers will learn to develop fast algorithms, including quantum algorithms, to solve various classic and modern number theoretic problems. Key problems include prime number generation, primality testing, integer factorization, discrete logarithms, elliptic curve arithmetic, conjecture and numerical verification.

The author discusses quantum algorithms for solving the Integer Factorization Problem (IFP), the...

This book explores five fundamental mechanisms to build secure Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). It presents security issues related to a single node which deals with the authentication and communication confidentiality with other nodes. It also focuses on network security, providing solutions for the node capture attack and the clone attack.

It examines a number of areas and problems to which WSNs are applied continuously, including: supporting rescue operations, building surveillance, fire prevention, battlefield monitoring and more. However, known and unknown threats still affect...

Negli ultimi decenni il rapido sviluppo delle tecnologie IT ha influito in maniera determinante nella vita dell uomo, trasformando, spesso inconsapevolmente il suo lavoro, le sue abitudini, il suo modo di interagire con il mondo che lo circonda. Il fenomeno della "globalizzazione" dei mercati e solo una delle trasformazioni che l intero pianeta sta attraversando. Anche se i vantaggi derivanti dall utilizzo delle moderne tecnologie di comunicazione ci facilitano nel lavoro e nella attivita ludiche e personali, molte sono le perplessita e i dubbi che attanagliano tutti coloro che le...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Security for Information Technology and Communications, SECITC 2015, held in Bucharest, Romania, in June 2015.

The 17 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 36 submissions. In addition with 5 invited talks the papers cover topics such as Cryptographic Algorithms and Protocols, Security Technologies for IT&C, Information Security Management, Cyber Defense, and Digital Forensics.

Network Science and Cybersecurity introduces new research and development efforts for cybersecurity solutions and applications taking place within various U.S. Government Departments of Defense, industry and academic laboratories.

This book examines new algorithms and tools, technology platforms and reconfigurable technologies for cybersecurity systems. Anomaly-based intrusion detection systems (IDS) are explored as a key component of any general network intrusion detection service, complementing signature-based IDS components by attempting to identify novel attacks. These...
