This Special Issue provides an opportunity for researchers in the area of side-channel attacks (SCAs) to highlight the most recent exciting technologies. The research papers published in this Special Issue represent recent progress in the field, including research on power analysis attacks, cache-based timing attacks, system-level countermeasures, and so on.

The Handbook of Information Security is a definitive 3-volume handbook that offers coverage of both established and cutting-edge theories and developments on information and computer security. The text contains 180 articles from over 200 leading experts, providing the benchmark resource for information security, network security, information privacy, and information warfare.

It has been more than 20 years since the seminal publications on side-channel attacks. They aim at extracting secrets from embedded systems while they execute cryptographic algorithms, and they consist of two steps, measurement and analysis. This book tackles the analysis part, especially under situations where the targeted device is protected by random masking. The authors explain advances in the field and provide the reader with mathematical formalizations. They present all known analyses within the same notation framework, which allows the reader to rapidly understand and learn contrasting approaches. It will be useful as a graduate level introduction, also for self-study by researchers and professionals, and the examples are taken from real-world datasets.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Frontiers in Cyber Security, FCS 2021, held in Haikou, China, in December 2021. The 20 full papers along with the 2 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on: intelligent security; system security; network security; multimedia security; privacy, risk and trust; data and application security.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Smart Card Research and Advanced Applications, CARDIS 2006, held in Tarragona, Spain, in April 2006. The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and updated for inclusion in this book. The papers are organized in topical sections on smart card applications, side channel attacks, smart card networking, cryptographic protocols, RFID security, and formal methods.

The two-volume set CCIS 827 and 828 constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Next Generation Computing Technologies, NGCT 2017, held in Dehradun, India, in October 2017. The 135 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 948 submissions. There were organized in topical sections named: Smart and Innovative Trends in Communication Protocols and Standards; Smart and Innovative Trends in Computational Intelligence and Data Science; Smart and Innovative Trends in Image Processing and Machine Vision; Smart Innovative Trends in Natural Language Processing for Indian Languages; Smart Innovative Trends in Security and Privacy.

Cyber security research is one of the important areas in the computer science domain which also plays a major role in the life of almost every individual, enterprise, society and country, which this book illustrates. A large number of advanced security books focus on either cryptography or system security which covers both information and network security. However, there is hardly any books available for advanced-level students and research scholars in security research to systematically study how the major attacks are studied, modeled, planned and combated by the community. This book aims to fill this gap. This book provides focused content related to specific attacks or attack families. These dedicated discussions in the form of individual chapters covers the application or area specific aspects, while discussing the placement of defense solutions to combat the attacks. It includes eight high quality chapters from established security research groups worldwide, which address important attacks from theoretical (modeling) as well as practical aspects. Each chapter brings together comprehensive and structured information on an attack or an attack family. The authors present crisp detailing on the state of the art with quality illustration of defense mechanisms and open research problems. This book also covers various important attacks families such as insider threats, semantics social engineering attacks, distributed denial of service attacks, botnet based attacks, cyber physical malware based attacks, cross-vm attacks, and IoT covert channel attacks. This book will serve the interests of cyber security enthusiasts, undergraduates, post-graduates, researchers and professionals working in this field.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Cryptology hosted in Africa, held in Casablanca, Morocco, in June 2008. The 25 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 82 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on AES, analysis of RFID protocols, cryptographic protocols, authentication, public-key cryptography, pseudorandomness, analysis of stream ciphers, hash functions, broadcast encryption, and implementation.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Detection of Intrusions and Malware, and Vulnerability Assessment, DIMVA 2023, held in Hamburg, Germany, in July 2023.
