Secure Computing
The breadth of coverage and the attention to real-world context make this authoritative book unique in its treatment of an extremely hot topic--the security of computers, computer networks, and the information that they handle. Summers presents security principles and techniques in a coherent framework, using case histories and examples to drive home important points.
Case Studies in Secure Computing
In today’s age of wireless and mobile computing, network and computer security is paramount. Case Studies in Secure Computing: Achievements and Trends gathers the latest research from researchers who share their insights and best practices through illustrative case studies. This book examines the growing security attacks and countermeasures in the stand-alone and networking worlds, along with other pertinent security issues. The many case studies capture a truly wide range of secure computing applications. Surveying the common elements in computer security attacks and defenses, the book: Describes the use of feature selection and fuzzy logic in a decision tree model for intrusion detection Introduces a set of common fuzzy-logic-based security risk estimation techniques with examples Proposes a secure authenticated multiple-key establishment protocol for wireless sensor networks Investigates various malicious activities associated with cloud computing and proposes some countermeasures Examines current and emerging security threats in long-term evolution backhaul and core networks Supplies a brief introduction to application-layer denial-of-service (DoS) attacks Illustrating the security challenges currently facing practitioners, this book presents powerful security solutions proposed by leading researchers in the field. The examination of the various case studies will help to develop the practical understanding required to stay one step ahead of the security threats on the horizon. This book will help those new to the field understand how to mitigate security threats. It will also help established practitioners fine-tune their approach to establishing robust and resilient security for next-generation computing systems.
Ethical and Secure Computing
This engaging textbook highlights the essential need for a strong ethical framework when teaching or working in the computing, information, and engineering sciences. Thoroughly enhanced, the third edition features revised chapters with new and updated content, as well as a new chapter, Ethics and Social Responsibility in the Metaverse. The book's approach is candid and intended to ignite students' and professionals' interest and active participation in discussions of relevant current-and potential future-issues. Through thought-provoking questions and case studies, readers are challenged to consider the deep implications arising from use of rapidly evolving computing technologies and ever-changing communication ecosystems. Topics and features-including fully updated content: Introduces a philosophical framework and tools for understanding and analyzing ethics in personal, public, and professional spheres Includes learning objectives, discussion questions and exercises Discusses the security and ethical quagmire in the developing metaverse (NEW chapter) Examines intellectual property rights, including risks and liabilities associated with software Discusses such key social issues as the digital divide, employee monitoring in the workplace, and risks to physical and mental health Reviews the history of computer crime, and the threat of digitally facilitated bullying, harassment, and discrimination Considers ethical challenges arising from online social networks, mobile telecommunication technologies, virtual reality, the Internet of Things and 5G technologies This concise and accessible textbook addresses the ethical issues important to all designers and users of computer technologies. The text incorporates the latest curricula requirements for undergraduate courses in computer science, as well as offers invaluable insights into the likely social impacts and legal challenges posed. Dr. Joseph Migga Kizza is Professor and Head, Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, USA. He is author of the Springer titles Ethical and Social Issues in the Information Age and Guide to Computer Network Security.
