Data encryption

Biometrics is a rapidly evolving field with applications ranging from accessing one's computer to gaining entry into a country.

Advances in hardware technology have increased the capability to store and record personal data about consumers and individuals, causing concerns that personal data may be used for a variety of intrusive or malicious purposes.

Group-oriented communications will play a significant role in the next generation of networks as many services, such as pay-per-view media broadcasts and the delivery of network control messages, will rely upon the ability to reliably deliver data simultaneously to a large group of users.

Botnets have become the platform of choice for launching attacks and committing fraud on the Internet.

Anyone who has ever bought a car, rented an apartment, had a job or conversation that they would rather not see in their employee review may find this book of interest.

The open design of the Internet has not only opened many new opp- tunities for communications, but it has also opened many new avenues for attackers against organisations network and computing resources.

Computer and network security is an issue that has been studied for many years.

RSA is the first workable and practicable public-key cryptographic system, based on the use of large prime numbers.

Motivation for the book Database security has been gaining a great deal of importance as industry, military, and government organizations have increasingly adopted Internet-based techno- gies on a large-scale, because of convenience, ease of use, and the ability to take advantage of rapid advances in the commercial market.

Company network administrators are compelled today to aggressively pursue a robust network security regime.

Data warehousing and data mining provide techniques for collecting information from distributed databases and for performing data analysis.

The recent technological advances have made it possible to deploy small, l- power, low-bandwidth, and multi-functional wireless sensor nodes to monitor and report the conditions and events in their local environments.

Localization is a critical process in mobile ad hoc networks and wireless sensor networks.

Preserving Privacy for On-Line Analytical Processing addresses the privacy issue of On-Line Analytic Processing (OLAP) systems.

As postal liberalization gains momentum, traditional postage meter markets are being transformed into digital meter markets for enterprise mailers.

Shared resources, such as the Internet, have created a highly interconnected cyber-infrastructure.

One of the challenges for computational intelligence and biometrics is to understand how people process and recognize faces and to develop automated and reliable face recognition systems.

Power analysis attacks allow the extraction of secret information from smart cards.

Multivariate public key cryptosystems (MPKC) is a fast-developing new area in cryptography.

Recent advances in technology and new software applications are steadily transforming human civilization into what is called the Information Society.

Security and Privacy in the Age of Uncertainty covers issues related to security and privacy of information in a wide range of applications including: *Secure Networks and Distributed Systems; *Secure Multicast Communication and Secure Mobile Networks; *Intrusion Prevention and Detection; *Access Control Policies and Models; *Security Protocols; *Security and Control of IT in Society.

The book to which I was asked by the editors to write a foreword is an interesting collection of contributions.

Quality of Protection: Security Measurements and Metrics is an edited volume based on the Quality of Protection Workshop in Milano, Italy (September 2005).

The volume contains the papers presented at the fifth working conference on Communications and Multimedia Security (CMS 2001), held on May 21-22, 2001 at (and organized by) the GMD -German National Research Center for Information Technology GMD - Integrated Publication and Information Systems Institute IPSI, in Darmstadt, Germany.

Our Internet-connected society increasingly relies on computers.

Software that covertly monitors user actions, also known as spyware, has become a first-level security threat due to its ubiquity and the difficulty of detecting and removing it.

Data mining has emerged as a significant technology for gaining knowledge from vast quantities of data.

Face recognition has been actively studied over the past decade and continues to be a big research challenge.

Hop Integrity in the Internet introduces a new security defense, hop integrity, that can be used against denial-of-service attacks in the Internet.

This is the first joint working conference between the IFIP Working Groups 11.

Digital forensics deals with the acquisition, preservation, examination, analysis and presentation of electronic evidence.

Reliable human authentication schemes are of paramount importance in our highly networked society.

As organizations today are linking their systems across enterprise-wide networks and VPNs as well as increasing their exposure to customers, competitors, browsers and hackers on the Internet, it becomes increasingly imperative for Web professionals to be trained in techniques for effectively protecting their sites from internal and external threats.
