Information security and cryptology

Více o knize

This collection features a range of topics on national security, forensics, and mobile communications, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of information security grounded in ethics. Key management and distributed cryptography are explored through various schemes, including a timed-release key management approach and property-based broadcast encryption for multi-level security policies. The work also delves into authentication and biometrics, presenting enhanced algorithms for fingerprint reconstruction and trust management in wireless sensor networks. Security primitives and provable security are addressed, with discussions on Benes and Butterfly schemes, collision attacks on cryptographic functions, and the implications of these vulnerabilities. System and network security topics include the program counter security model for detecting control-flow side channel attacks, the challenges of covert channels, and a probabilistic approach to assessing cyber attack damage. The text covers block and stream ciphers, including algebraic masking methods for AES protection, cryptanalysis of various ciphers, and efficient implementations, particularly in FPGA contexts. Digital rights management is examined through software-based copy protection and watermarking schemes. The collection concludes with advancements in public key cryptography, including verifiable encryption and efficient identity-based encryption schemes.
