New generations of IT users are increasingly abstracted from the underlying devices and platforms that provide and safeguard their services. As a result they may have little awareness that they are critically dependent on the embedded security devices that are becoming pervasive in daily modern life. Secure Smart Embedded Devices, Platforms and Applications provides a broad overview of the many security and practical issues of embedded devices, tokens, and their operation systems, platforms and main applications. It also addresses a diverse range of industry/government initiatives and considerations, while focusing strongly on technical and practical security issues. The benefits and pitfalls of developing and deploying applications that rely on embedded systems and their security functionality are presented. A sufficient level of technical detail to support embedded systems is provided throughout the text, although the book is quite readable for those seeking awareness through an initial overview of the topics. This edited volume benefits from the contributions of industry and academic experts and helps provide a cross-discipline overview of the security and practical issues for embedded systems, tokens, and platforms. It is an ideal complement to the earlier work, Smart Cards Tokens, Security and Applications from the same editors.

This book provides a broad overview of the many card systems and solutions that are in practical use today. This new edition adds content on RFIDs, embedded security, attacks and countermeasures, security evaluation, javacards, banking or payment cards, identity cards and passports, mobile systems security, and security management. A step-by-step approach educates the reader in card types, production, operating systems, commercial applications, new technologies, security design, attacks, application development, deployment and lifecycle management. By the end of the book the reader should be able to play an educated role in a smart card related project, even to programming a card application. This book is designed as a textbook for graduate level students in computer science. It is also as an invaluable post-graduate level reference for professionals and researchers. This volume offers insight into benefits and pitfalls of diverse industry, government, financial and logistics aspects while providing a sufficient level of technical detail to support technologists, information security specialists, engineers and researchers.

This book highlights cyber-security overview, perspectives, and challenges that affect advanced Vehicular technology. It considers vehicular security issues and possible solutions, with the aim of providing secure vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and inside-of-vehicle communication. This book introduces vehicle cryptography mechanism including encryption and decryption approaches and cryptography algorithms such as symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, Hash functions and Digital Signature certificates for modern vehicles. It discusses cybersecurity structure and provides specific security challenges and possible solutions in Vehicular Communication such as vehicle to vehicle communication, vehicle to Infrastructure and in-vehicle communciation. It also presents key insights from security with regards to vehicles collaborative information technology. The more our vehicles become intelligent, the more we need to work on safety and security for vehicle technology. This book is of interest to automotive engineers and technical managers who want to learn about security technologies, and for those with a security background who want to learn about basic security issues in modern automotive applications.

The 62 papers presented in the HAS 2015 proceedings are organized in topical sections as follows: authentication, cybersecurity, privacy, security, and user behavior, security in social media and smart technologies, and security technologies.

This volume LNCS 11877 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Confederated International Conferences: Cooperative Information Systems, CoopIS 2019, Ontologies, Databases, and Applications of Semantics, ODBASE 2019, and Cloud and Trusted Computing, C&TC, held as part of OTM 2019 in October 2019 in Rhodes, Greece. The 38 full papers presented together with 8 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 156 submissions. The OTM program every year covers data and Web semantics, distributed objects, Web services, databases, informationsystems, enterprise workflow and collaboration, ubiquity, interoperability, mobility, grid and high-performance computing.

This book is a pioneering yet primary general reference resource on cyber physical systems and their security concerns. Providing a fundamental theoretical background, and a clear and comprehensive overview of security issues in the domain of cyber physical systems, it is useful for students in the fields of information technology, computer science, or computer engineering where this topic is a substantial emerging area of study.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Information Security and Practice and Experience, ISPEC 2016, held in Zhangjiajie, China, in November 2016. The 25 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 75 submissions. They cover multiple topics in information security, from technologies to systems and applications.

This comprehensive resource provides a thorough introduction to the security risks, attack vectors and vulnerabilities an Internet of things (IoT) product and its network can face at different phases of its lifecycle. The risks at each stage of the development and operations (DevOps) lifecycle of an IoT product are analyzed. Examples of recent, relevant security threats faced by the industry are discussed and why the security breach happened, how it was resolved, and what could have been done to avoid them will be explained. Readers will learn the best practices to secure their IoT products, and networks in a holistic way. IoT and the diverse and unique nature of IoT applications across the commercial and industrial landscape, are introduced, including the need for securing IoT. The lifecycle of IoT security, specifically the security implementations that need to be carried out at various stages in the operational process of an IoT service are presented, as well as the security requirements during the planning, security integration, operational, maintenance, and planned discontinuation phase of an IoT service. The vulnerabilities in IoT, the various attack vectors exploited by attackers, and preventive measures that can be undertaken to avoid these security attacks are also explored. Readers are acclimated with various steps that must be undertaken to prepare for IoT security attacks, and techniques that can be employed to detect them. Key challenges involved with implementing appropriate levels of security in IoT due to heterogeneity, interoperability, human errors, and commercial factors are discussed, as well as the need for regulatory guidance for the IoT industry and highlights specific examples of regulations in leading markets across the globe.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental security of Industrial Control Systems (ICSs), including Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and touching on cyber-physical systems in general. Careful attention is given to providing the reader with clear and comprehensive background and reference material for each topic pertinent to ICS security. This book offers answers to such questions as: Which specific operating and security issues may lead to a loss of efficiency and operation? What methods can be used to monitor and protect my system? How can I design my system to reduce threats?This book offers chapters on ICS cyber threats, attacks, metrics, risk, situational awareness, intrusion detection, and security testing, providing an advantageous reference set for current system owners who wish to securely configure and operate their ICSs. This book is appropriate for non-specialists as well. Tutorial information is provided in two initial chapters and in the beginnings of other chapters as needed. The book concludes with advanced topics on ICS governance, responses to attacks on ICS, and future security of the Internet of Things.
