This book defines the nature and scope of insider problems as viewed by the financial industry. This edited volume is based on the first workshop on Insider Attack and Cyber Security, IACS 2007. The workshop was a joint effort from the Information Security Departments of Columbia University and Dartmouth College. The book sets an agenda for an ongoing research initiative to solve one of the most vexing problems encountered in security, and a range of topics from critical IT infrastructure to insider threats. In some ways, the insider problem is the ultimate security problem.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th IFIP TC-6 TC-11 International Conference on Communications and Multimedia Security, CMS 2006, held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece in October 2006. The 22 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 76 submissions.
Internet heterogeneity is driving a new challenge in application development: adaptive software. Together with the increased Internet capacity and new access technologies, network congestion and the use of older technologies, wireless access, and peer-to-peer networking are increasing the heterogeneity of the Internet. Applications should provide gracefully degraded levels of service when network conditions are poor, and enhanced services when network conditions exceed expectations. Existing adaptive technologies, which are primarily end-to-end or proxy-based and often focus on a single deficient link, can perform poorly in heterogeneous networks. Instead, heterogeneous networks frequently r...
This book describes the design and implementation of Cloud Armor, a novel approach for credibility-based trust management and automatic discovery of cloud services in distributed and highly dynamic environments. This book also helps cloud users to understand the difficulties of establishing trust in cloud computing and the best criteria for selecting a service cloud. The techniques have been validated by a prototype system implementation and experimental studies using a collection of real world trust feedbacks on cloud services. The authors present the design and implementation of a novel protocol that preserves the consumers’ privacy, an adaptive and robust credibility model, a scalable a...
The inaugural Information Security Practice and Experience Conference (ISPEC) was held on April 11–14, 2005, in Singapore. As applications of information security technologies become pervasive, - sues pertaining to their deployment and operation are becoming increasingly important. ISPEC is intended to be an annual conference that brings together researchers and practitioners to provide a con?uence of new information se- rity technologies, their applications and their integration with IT systems in various vertical sectors. The Program Committee consisted of leading experts in the areas of information security, information systems, and domain experts in applications of IT in vertical busin...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Information and Communications Security, ICICS 2004, held in Malaga, Spain in October 2004. The 42 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 245 submissions. The papers address a broad range of topics in information and communication security including digital signatures, group signature schemes, e-commerce, digital payment systems, cryptographic attacks, mobile networking, authentication, channel analysis, power-analysis attacks, mobile agent security, broadcast encryption, AES, security analysis, XTR, access control, and intrusion detection.
This volume contains the proceedings of the 8th International Information - curity Conference (ISC 2005), which took place in Singapore, from 20th to 23rd September 2005. ISC 2005 brought together individuals from academia and - dustry involvedin manyresearchdisciplines of information security to foster the exchange of ideas. During recent years this conference has tried to place special emphasis on the practical aspects of information security, and since it passed from being an international workshop to being an international conference in 2001, it has become one of the most relevant forums at which researchers meet and discuss emerging security challenges and solutions. Advised by the ISC ...
"This book collects a complete set of studies addressing the security and dependability challenges of Web services and the development of protocols to meet them. Encompassing a complete range of topics including specifications for message level security, transactions, and identity management, it enables libraries to provide researchers an authoritative guide to a most challenging technological topic"--Provided by publisher.
Another year, another workshop. Here are the proceedings of the seventh Cambridge International Workshop on Security Protocols. All very well, you may think, but can there really still be anything genuinely new to say? Is it not just the same old things a tiny bit better? Well, perhaps surprisingly, this year we discoveredsome radically new things beginning to happen. The reasons in retrospect are not far to seek: advances in technology, changes in the system context, and new types of consumer devices and applications have combined to expose new security requirements. This has led not only to new protocols and models, but also to known protocols being deployedindelicate newways,withpreviousf...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Cryptographers’ Track at the RSA Conference 2005, CT-RSA 2005, held in San Francisco, CA, USA in February 2005. The 23 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on cryptanalysis, public key encryption, signature schemes, design principles, password-based protocols, pairings, and efficient and secure implementations.
