Kategoria BISAC: Computers >> Security - Cryptography & Encryption

A new age has dawned. One where the masked thieves are now replaced by extremely intelligent and savvy computer programmers who choose to steal, wreak havoc, and leave their lasting mark on your business through accessing your sensitive data and protected information. A cyber-breach could literally bring a healthy organization to its knees. Even if it recovers, the damage done is potentially irreversible. Armed with the knowledge that cyber-threats are now more common than ever, there are meaningful steps you and your organization can take to ensure you are not victimized by a hacker. In...

This volume collects contributions written by different experts in honor of Prof. Jaime Munoz Masque. It covers a wide variety of research topics, from differential geometry to algebra, but particularly focuses on the geometric formulation of variational calculus; geometric mechanics and field theories; symmetries and conservation laws of differential equations, and pseudo-Riemannian geometry of homogeneous spaces. It also discusses algebraic applications to cryptography and number theory. It offers state-of-the-art contributions in the context of current research trends. The final result...

This book presents current research in privacy-preserving protocols for smart grids. It contains several approaches and compares them analytically and by means of simulation. In particular, the book introduces asymmetric DC-Nets, which offer an ideal combination of performance and features in comparison with homomorphic encryption; data anonymization via cryptographic protocols; and data obfuscation by means of noise injection or by means of the installation of storage banks. The author shows that this theory can be leveraged into several application scenarios, and how asymmetric DC-Nets...

This book presents watermarking algorithms derived from signal processing methods such as wavelet transform, matrix decomposition and cosine transform to address the limitations of current technologies. For each algorithm, mathematical foundations are explained with analysis conducted to evaluate performances on robotness and efficiency. Combining theories and practice, it is suitable for information security researchers and industrial engineers.

In 25 concise steps, you will learn the basics of blockchain technology. No mathematical formulas, program code, or computer science jargon are used. No previous knowledge in computer science, mathematics, programming, or cryptography is required. Terminology is explained through pictures, analogies, and metaphors.

This book bridges the gap that exists between purely technical books about the blockchain and purely business-focused books. It does so by explaining both the technical concepts that make up the blockchain and their role in business-relevant...
