Computer And Communications Security And Privacy

Future communication networks aim to build an intelligent and efficient living environment by connecting a variety of heterogeneous networks to fulfill complicated tasks. These communication networks bring significant challenges in building secure and reliable communication networks to address the numerous threat and privacy concerns. New research technologies are essential to preserve privacy, prevent attacks, and achieve the requisite reliability. Security, Privacy and Reliability in Computer Communications and Networks studies and presents recent advances reflecting the state-of-the-art research achievements in novel cryptographic algorithm design, intrusion detection, privacy preserving techniques and reliable routing protocols. Technical topics discussed in the book include: Vulnerabilities and Intrusion DetectionCryptographic Algorithms and EvaluationPrivacyReliable Routing ProtocolsThis book is ideal for personnel in computer communication and networking industries as well as academic staff and collegial, master, Ph.D. students in computer science, computer engineering, cyber security, information insurance and telecommunication systems.

This book analyzes the latest advances in privacy, security and risk technologies within cloud environments. With contributions from leading experts, the text presents both a solid overview of the field and novel, cutting-edge research. A Glossary is also included at the end of the book. Topics and features: considers the various forensic challenges for legal access to data in a cloud computing environment; discusses privacy impact assessments for the cloud, and examines the use of cloud audits to attenuate cloud security problems; reviews conceptual issues, basic requirements and practical suggestions for provisioning dynamically configured access control services in the cloud; proposes scoped invariants as a primitive for analyzing a cloud server for its integrity properties; investigates the applicability of existing controls for mitigating information security risks to cloud computing environments; describes risk management for cloud computing from an enterprise perspective.

The ACM Workshop on Security and Privacy in Digital Rights Management is the ?rst scienti?c workshop with refereed proceedings devoted solely to this topic. The workshop was held in conjunction with the Eighth ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS-8) in Philadelphia, USA on November 5, 2001. Digital Rights Management technology is meant to provide end-to-end so- tions for the digital distribution of electronic goods. Sound security and privacy features are among the key requirements for such systems. Fifty papers were submitted to the workshop, quite a success for a ?rst-time workshop. From these 50 submissions, the program committee selected 15 papers for presentation at the workshop. They cover a broad area of relevant techniques, including cryptography, system architecture, and cryptanalysis of existing DRM systems. Three accepted papers are about software tamper resistance, an area about which few scienti?c articles have been published before. Another paper addresses renewability of security measures. Renewability is another important security technique for DRM systems, and I hope we will see more publications about this in the future. I am particularly glad that three papers cover economic and legal aspects of digital distribution of electronic goods. Technical security measures do not exist in a vacuum and their e?ectiveness interacts in a number of ways with the environment for legal enforcement. Deploying security and an- piracy measures adequately requires furthermore a good understanding of the business models that they are designed to support.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of two workshops held at the 13th International Conference on Security and Privacy in Communications Networks, SecureComm 2017, held in Niagara Falls, ON, Canada, in October 2017: the 5th International Workshop on Applications and Techniques in Cyber Security, ATCS 2017, and the First Workshop on Security and Privacy in the Internet Of Things, SePrIoT 2017.The 22 revised regular papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 105 submissions. The topics range from access control; language-based security; malicious software; network security; cloud security; software security; operating system security; privacy protection, database security, security models; and many more.The SePrIoT workshop targets to address novel approaches in security and privacy. The papers focuse, amongst others, on novel models, techniques, protocols, algorithms, or architectures.
