Security Protocols

Implement end-to-end and gateway security for IP networks. "Internet Security Protocols: Protecting IP Traffic" is a complete networking professional's guide to providing end-to-end and gateway Internet security for the user's information. World-renowned consultant Uyless Black covers the essential Internet security protocols designed to protect IP traffic. The book's coverage includes: Key Internet security challenges: privacy, secrecy, confidentiality, integrity of information, authentication, access control, non-repudiation, denial of service attacks Dial-in authentication with CHAP, RADIUS, and DIAMETER The role of IPSec in acquiring privacy and authentication services The Internet Key Distribution, Certification, and Management Systems (ISAKMP and IKE) Security in mobile Internet applications From the basics of firewalls to the latest public key distribution systems, Uyless Black reviews the alternatives for securing Internet traffic. If you're responsible for securing information traveling on IP networks, "Internet Security Protocols" is a fine source for the authoritative answers you're looking for.

Security protocols are widely used to ensure secure communications over insecure networks, such as the internet or airwaves. These protocols use strong cryptography to prevent intruders from reading or modifying the messages. However, using cryptography is not enough to ensure their correctness. Combined with their typical small size, which suggests that one could easily assess their correctness, this often results in incorrectly designed protocols. The authors present a methodology for formally describing security protocols and their environment. This methodology includes a model for describing protocols, their execution model, and the intruder model. The models are extended with a number of well-defined security properties, which capture the notions of correct protocols, and secrecy of data. The methodology can be used to prove that protocols satisfy these properties. Based on the model they have developed a tool set called Scyther that can automatically find attacks on security protocols or prove their correctness. In case studies they show the application of the methodology as well as the effectiveness of the analysis tool. The methodology’s strong mathematical basis, the strong separation of concerns in the model, and the accompanying tool set make it ideally suited both for researchers and graduate students of information security or formal methods and for advanced professionals designing critical security protocols.

The security of information and communication technology is a high priority for any organization. By examining the current problems and challenges this domain is facing, more efficient strategies can be established to safeguard personal information against invasive pressures. Security and Privacy Management, Techniques, and Protocols is a critical scholarly resource that examines emerging protocols and methods for effective management of information security at organizations. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as cryptography, secure routing protocols, and wireless security, this book is geared towards academicians, engineers, IT specialists, researchers, and students seeking current research on security and privacy management.

The Cambridge International Workshop on Security Protocols has now run for eight years. Each year we set a theme, focusing upon a speci?c aspect of security protocols, and invite position papers. Anybody is welcome to send us a position paper (yes, you are invited) and we don’t insist they relate to the current theme in an obvious way. In our experience, the emergence of the theme as a unifying threadtakesplaceduringthediscussionsattheworkshopitself.Theonlyground rule is that position papers should formulate an approach to some unresolved issues, rather than being a description of a ?nished piece of work.

Security protocols link naturally to many other areas of Computer Science, and deep water can be reached very quickly. Afterwards, we invite participants to re-draft their position papers in a way which exposes the emergent issues but leaves open the way to their further development. We also prepare written transcripts of the recorded discussions. These are edited (in some cases very heavily) to illustrate the way in which the di?erent arguments and perspectives have interacted. We publish these proceedings as an invitation to the research community. Although many interesting results ?rst see the light of day in a volume of our proceedings, laying claim to these is not our primary purpose of publication. Rather, we bring our discussions and insights to a wider audience in order to suggest new lines of investigation which the community may fruitfully pursue.

This is an edited book covering fundamentals, security theories and protocols, and hardware implementations for cryptography algorithms and security techniques in RFID. It is the first book to comprehensively cover RFID security issues and solutions. Part 1 deals with RFID fundamentals. Part 2 addresses RFID security protocols and techniques. Finally, the book discusses hardware implementation of security algorithms and protocols dedicated to RFID platforms and chips.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 23rd International Workshop on Security Protocols, held in Cambridge, UK, in March/April 2015. After an introduction the volume presents 18 revised papers each followed by a revised transcript of the presentation and ensuing discussion at the event. The theme of this year's workshop is "Information Security in Fiction and in Fact".

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 24 th International Workshop on Securit Protocols, held in Brno, Czech Republic, in April 2016. The 13 thoroughly revised papers presented together with the respective transcripts of discussions have been carefully reviewed. The theme of the workshop was Evolving Security - considering that security protocols evolve with their changing requirements, their changing mechanisms and attackers' changing agendas and capabilities.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 22nd International Workshop on Security Protocols, held in Cambridge, UK, in March 2014. After an introduction the volume presents 18 revised papers each followed by a revised transcript of the presentation and ensuing discussion at the event. The theme of this year's workshop is "Collaborating with the Enemy".
