The papers are grouped in sections on high security assurance software, key management, authentication, digital payment, distributed systems, access control, databases, and measures.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, ESORICS '96, held in Rome, Italy, in September 1996 in conjunction with the 1996 Italian National Computer Conference, AICA '96. The 21 revised full papers presented in the book were carefully selected from 58 submissions. They are organized in sections on electronic commerce, advanced access control models for database systems, distributed systems, security issues for mobile computing, network security, theoretical foundations of security, and secure database architectures.

Managing Information Technology Resources in Organizations in the Next Millennium contains more than 200 unique perspectives on numerous timely issues of managing information technology in organizations around the world. This book, featuring the latest research and applied IT practices, is a valuable source in support of teaching and research agendas.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Practice and Theory in Public Key Cryptography, PKC 2000, held in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, in January 2000. The 31 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 70 submissions. Among the topics addressed are cryptographic protocols, digital signature schemes, elliptic curve cryptography, discrete logarithm, authentication, encryption protocols, key recovery, time stamping, shared cryptography, certification, zero-knowledge proofs, auction protocols, and mobile communications security.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International Conference on Financial Cryptography, FC'99, held in Anguilla, British West Indies in February 1999. The 19 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in sections on electronic commerce, anonymity control, fraud management, public-key certificates, steganography, content distribution, anonymity mechanisms, auctions and markets, and distributed cryptography.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference 'Cryptography: Policy and Algorithms', held in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia in July 1995. Over the past few years, issues relating to cryptography policy have made headline news, particularly those concerned with the rights to privacy of the individual, who may choose to use cryptographic systems to maintain confidentiality, against the needs of legal authorities to conduct wiretapping to help combat crime. The 27 revised full contributions in this volume are devoted to both crypto policy matters and the related theory and applications of cryptographic algorithms. The volume is of relevance to cryptology researchers and professionals in industry and administration.

From the world's most renowned security technologist, Bruce Schneier, this 20th Anniversary Edition is the most definitive reference on cryptography ever published and is the seminal work on cryptography. Cryptographic techniques have applications far beyond the obvious uses of encoding and decoding information. For developers who need to know about capabilities, such as digital signatures, that depend on cryptographic techniques, there's no better overview than Applied Cryptography, the definitive book on the subject. Bruce Schneier covers general classes of cryptographic protocols and then specific techniques, detailing the inner workings of real-world cryptographic algorithms including the Data Encryption Standard and RSA public-key cryptosystems. The book includes source-code listings and extensive advice on the practical aspects of cryptography implementation, such as the importance of generating truly random numbers and of keeping keys secure. ". . .the best introduction to cryptography I've ever seen. . . .The book the National Security Agency wanted never to be published. . . ." -Wired Magazine ". . .monumental . . . fascinating . . . comprehensive . . . the definitive work on cryptography for computer programmers . . ." -Dr. Dobb's Journal ". . .easily ranks as one of the most authoritative in its field." -PC Magazine The book details how programmers and electronic communications professionals can use cryptography-the technique of enciphering and deciphering messages-to maintain the privacy of computer data. It describes dozens of cryptography algorithms, gives practical advice on how to implement them into cryptographic software, and shows how they can be used to solve security problems. The book shows programmers who design computer applications, networks, and storage systems how they can build security into their software and systems. With a new Introduction by the author, this premium edition will be a keepsake for all those committed to computer and cyber security.

Database and Data Communication Network Systems examines the utilization of the Internet and Local Area/Wide Area Networks in all areas of human endeavor. This three-volume set covers, among other topics, database systems, data compression, database architecture, data acquisition, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and the practical application of these technologies. The international collection of contributors was culled from exhaustive research of over 100,000 related archival and technical journals. This reference will be indispensable to engineering and computer science libraries, research libraries, and telecommunications, networking, and computer companies. It covers a diverse array of topics, including: * Techniques in emerging database system architectures * Techniques and applications in data mining * Object-oriented database systems * Data acquisition on the WWW during heavy client/server traffic periods * Information exploration on the WWW * Education and training in multimedia database systems * Data structure techniques in rapid prototyping and manufacturing * Wireless ATM in data networks for mobile systems * Applications in corporate finance * Scientific data visualization * Data compression and information retrieval * Techniques in medical systems, intensive care units

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the DIMACS International Workshop on Graph Drawing, GD '94, held in Princeton, New Jersey in October 1994.
