This comprehensive resource presents a highly informative overview of cloud computing security issues. This book focuses on relevant approaches aimed at monitoring and protecting computation and data hosted on heterogeneous computing resources. The most critical security aspects are thoroughly discussed, highlighting the importance of reliable secure computation over remote heterogeneous cloud nodes. This book shows that present cloud computing is inherently insecure therefore advanced execution models have to be developed to prevent unauthorized users from accessing or affecting others' data and computation. The cloud approach enables on-demand scalable services that allow performing large computations without the costs and maintenance/management issues of costly server farms (thus enabling a novel kind of outsourced computing). Essential reading for software and computer engineers as well as data architects and IT professionals to better understand the complexity and heterogeneity of modern cloud- based scenarios.

Cryptology and Network Security

Luigi V. Mancini

To defend against computer and network attacks, multiple, complementary security devices such as intrusion detection systems (IDSs), and firewalls are widely deployed to monitor networks and hosts. These various IDSs will flag alerts when suspicious events are observed. This book is an edited volume by world class leaders within computer network and information security presented in an easy-to-follow style. It introduces defense alert systems against computer and network attacks. It also covers integrating intrusion alerts within security policy framework for intrusion response, related case studies and much more.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Security, Privacy, and Anonymity in Computation, Communication, and Storage, SpaCCS 2020, held in Nanjing, China, in December 2020. The 30 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 88 submissions. The papers cover many dimensions including security algorithms and architectures, privacy-aware policies, regulations and techniques, anonymous computation and communication, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial application systems for computation, communication and storage. SpaCCS 2020 is held jointly with the 11th International Workshop on Trust, Security and Privacy for Big Data (TrustData 2020), the 10th International Symposium on Trust, Security and Privacy for Emerging Applications (TSP 2020), the 9th International Symposium on Security and Privacy on Internet of Things (SPIoT 2020), the 6th International Symposium on Sensor-Cloud Systems (SCS 2020), the 2nd International Workshop on Communication, Computing, Informatics and Security (CCIS 2020), the First International Workshop on Intelligence and Security in Next Generation Networks (ISNGN 2020), the First International Symposium on Emerging Information Security and Applications (EISA 2020).

This book revises the strategic objectives of Information Warfare, interpreting them according to the modern canons of information age, focusing on the fabric of society, the economy, and critical Infrastructures. The authors build plausible detailed real-world scenarios for each entity, showing the related possible threats from the Information Warfare point of view. In addition, the authors dive into the description of the still open problems, especially when it comes to critical infrastructures, and the countermeasures that can be implemented, possibly inspiring further research in the domain. This book intends to provide a conceptual framework and a methodological guide, enriched with vivid and compelling use cases for the readers (e.g. technologists, academicians, military, government) interested in what Information Warfare really means, when its lenses are applied to current technology. Without sacrificing accuracy, rigor and, most importantly, the big picture of Information Warfare, this book dives into several relevant and up-to-date critical domains. The authors illustrate how finance (an always green target of Information Warfare) is intertwined with Social Media, and how an opponent could exploit these latter ones to reach its objectives. Also, how cryptocurrencies are going to reshape the economy, and the risks involved by this paradigm shift. Even more compelling is how the very fabric of society is going to be reshaped by technology, for instance how our democratic elections are exposed to risks that are even greater than what appears in the current public discussions. Not to mention how our Critical Infrastructure is becoming exposed to a series of novel threats, ranging from state-supported malware to drones. A detailed discussion of possible countermeasures and what the open issues are for each of the highlighted threats complete this book. This book targets a widespread audience that includes researchers and advanced level students studying and working in computer science with a focus on security. Military officers, government officials and professionals working in this field will also find this book useful as a reference.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post proceedings of two international workshops, the 7th International Workshop on Data Privacy Management, DPM 2012, and the 5th International Workshop on Autonomous and Spontaneous Security, SETOP 2012, held in Pisa, Italy, in September 2012. The volume contains 13 full papers selected out of 31 submissions and 3 keynote lectures from the DPM workshop and 10 papers selected among numerous submissions from the SETOP workshop. The contributions from DPM cover topics from location privacy, citizens' privacy, privacy, authentication with anonymity, privacy in distributed systems, privacy policies, and automated privacy enforcement. The SETOP contributions provide a unique view of ongoing security research work in a number of emerging environments that are becoming part of the global ICT infrastructure, from content-centric to mobile and wireless networks. Also, some of them cover the key role of run-time enforcement in process and service security. The topics of SETOP papers include: security policy deployment; distributed intrusion detection; autonomous and spontaneous response; privacy policies; secure localization; context aware and ubiquitous computing; identity management.
