Decision Making and Security Risk Management for IoT Environments

This book provides a comprehensive review of the most up to date research related to cloud security auditing and discusses auditing the cloud infrastructure from the structural point of view, while focusing on virtualization-related security properties and consistency between multiple control layers. It presents an off-line automated framework for auditing consistent isolation between virtual networks in OpenStack-managed cloud spanning over overlay and layer 2 by considering both cloud layers’ views. A runtime security auditing framework for the cloud with special focus on the user-level including common access control and authentication mechanisms e.g., RBAC, ABAC and SSO is covered as well.&nbsp; This book also discusses a learning-based proactive security auditing system, which extracts probabilistic dependencies between runtime events and applies such dependencies to proactively audit and prevent security violations resulting from critical events. Finally, this book elaborates the design and implementation of a middleware as a pluggable interface to OpenStack for intercepting and verifying the legitimacy of user requests at runtime. The authors discuss how state-of-the-art security auditing solutions may help increase cloud tenants’ trust in the service providers by providing assurance on the compliance with the applicable laws, regulations, policies, and standards. This book introduces the latest research results on both traditional retroactive auditing and novel (runtime and proactive) auditing techniques to serve different stakeholders in the cloud. This book covers security threats from different cloud abstraction levels and discusses a wide-range of security properties related to cloud-specific standards (e.g., Cloud Control Matrix (CCM) and ISO 27017). It also elaborates on the integration of security auditing solutions into real world cloud management platforms (e.g., OpenStack, Amazon AWS and GoogleGCP). This book targets industrial scientists, who are working on cloud or security-related topics, as well as security practitioners, administrators, cloud providers and operators. Researchers and advanced-level students studying and working in computer science, practically in cloud security will also be interested in this book.

Finally, this book elaborates the design and implementation of a middleware as a pluggable interface to OpenStack for intercepting and verifying the legitimacy of user requests at runtime. Many companies nowadays leverage cloud services for conducting major business operations (e.g., Web service, inventory management, customer service, etc.). However, the fear of losing control and governance still persists due to the inherent lack of transparency and trust in clouds. The complex design and implementation of cloud infrastructures may cause numerous vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, while the unique properties of clouds (elastic, self-service, multi-tenancy) can bring novel security challenges. In this book, the authors discuss how state-of-the-art security auditing solutions may help increase cloud tenants’ trust in the service providers by providing assurance on the compliance with the applicable laws, regulations, policies, and standards.

Cloud Security Auditing

This book discusses and summarizes current research issues, identifies challenges, and outlines future directions for proactive and dynamic network defense. This book also presents the latest fundamental research results toward understanding proactive and dynamic network defense by top researchers in related areas. It includes research results that offer formal frameworks to define proactive and dynamic network defense, and develop novel models to analyze and evaluate proactive designs and strategies in computer systems, network systems, cyber-physical systems and wireless networks. A wide variety of scientific techniques have been highlighted to study these problems in the fundamental domain.


 As the convergence of our physical and digital worlds grows fast pace, protecting information systems from being tampered or unauthorized access is becoming one of the most importance issues. The traditional mechanisms of network defense are built upon a static, passive, and reactive nature, which has insufficient to defend against today's attackers that attempt to persistently analyze, probe, circumvent or fool such mechanisms. It has not yet been fully investigated to address the early stage of ¿cyber kill chain¿ when adversaries carry out sophisticated reconnaissance to plan attacks against a defense system.


 Recently, proactive and dynamic network defense has been proposed as an important alternative towards comprehensive network defense. Two representative types of such defense are moving target defense (MTD) and deception-based techniques. These emerging approaches show great promise to proactively disrupt the cyber-attack kill chain and are increasingly gaining interest within both academia and industry. However, these approaches are still in their preliminary design stage. Despite the promising potential, there areresearch issues yet to be solved regarding the effectiveness, efficiency, costs and usability of such approaches. In addition, it is also necessary to identify future research directions and challenges, which is an essential step towards fully embracing proactive and dynamic network defense.


This book will serve as a great introduction for advanced-level computer science and engineering students who would like to start R&amp;D efforts in the field of proactive and dynamic network defense. Researchers and professionals who work in this related field will also find this book useful as a reference.

Cyber Threat Intelligence

This book covers and makes four major contributions: 1) analyzing and surveying the pros and cons of current approaches for identifying rumor sources on complex networks; 2) proposing a novel approach to identify rumor sources in time-varying networks; 3) developing a fast approach to identify multiple rumor sources; 4) proposing a community-based method to overcome the scalability issue in this research area. These contributions enable rumor source identification to be applied effectively in real-world networks, and eventually diminish rumor damages, which the authors rigorously illustrate in this book. 
 
In the modern world, the ubiquity of networks has made us vulnerable to various risks. For instance, viruses propagate throughout the Internet and infect millions of computers. Misinformation spreads incredibly fast in online social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter. Infectious diseases, such as SARS, H1N1 or Ebola, have spread geographically and killed hundreds of thousands people. In essence, all of these situations can be modeled as a rumor spreading through a network, where the goal is to find the source of the rumor so as to control and prevent network risks. So far, extensive work has been done to develop new approaches to effectively identify rumor sources. However, current approaches still suffer from critical weaknesses. The most serious one is the complex spatiotemporal diffusion process of rumors in time-varying networks, which is the bottleneck of current approaches. The second problem lies in the expensively computational complexity of identifying multiple rumor sources. The third important issue is the huge scale of the underlying networks, which makes it difficult to develop efficient strategies to quickly and accurately identify rumor sources. These weaknesses prevent rumor source identification from being applied in a broader range of real-world applications. This book aims to analyze and address these issuesto make rumor source identification more effective and applicable in the real world. 
 
The authors propose a novel reverse dissemination strategy to narrow down the scale of suspicious sources, which dramatically promotes the efficiency of their method. The authors then develop a Maximum-likelihood estimator, which can pin point the true source from the suspects with high accuracy. For the scalability issue in rumor source identification, the authors explore sensor techniques and develop a community structure based method. Then the authors take the advantage of the linear correlation between rumor spreading time and infection distance, and develop a fast method to locate the rumor diffusion source. Theoretical analysis proves the efficiency of the proposed method, and the experiment results verify the significant advantages of the proposed method in large-scale networks. 
 
This book targets graduate and post-graduate students studying computer science and networking. Researchers and professionals working in network security, propagation models and other related topics, will also be interested in this book.

Malicious Attack Propagation and Source Identification

<div>This book targets the key concern of protecting critical infrastructures such as smart grids. It explains various static and dynamic security analysis techniques that can automatically verify smart grid security and resiliency and identify potential attacks in a proactive manner. </div><div>This book includes three main sections. The first presents the idea of formally verifying the compliance of smart grid configurations with the security and resiliency guidelines. It provides a formal framework that verifies the compliance of the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) configurations with the security and resiliency requirements, and generates remediation plans for potential security violations. The second section covers the formal verification of the security and resiliency of smart grid control systems by using a formal model to analyze attack evasions on state estimation, a core control module of the supervisory control system in smart grids. The model identifies attack vectors that can compromise state estimation. This section also covers risk mitigation techniques that synthesize proactive security plans that make such attacks infeasible. The last part of the book discusses the dynamic security analysis for smart grids. It shows that AMI behavior can be modeled using event logs collected at smart collectors, which in turn can be verified using the specification invariants generated from the configurations of the AMI devices. </div><div>Although the focus of this book is smart grid security and resiliency, the included formal analytics are generic enough to be extended to other cyber-physical systems, especially those related to industrial control systems (ICS). Therefore, industry professionals and academic researchers will find this book an exceptional resource to learn theoretical and practical aspects of applying formal methods for the protection of critical infrastructures.</div><div>

Security and Resiliency Analytics for Smart Grids

This book offers a novel approach to data privacy by unifying  side-channel attacks within a general conceptual framework. This book  then applies the framework in three concrete domains.&nbsp;First,  the book examines privacy-preserving data publishing with publicly-known  algorithms, studying a generic strategy independent of data utility  measures and syntactic privacy properties before discussing an extended  approach to improve the efficiency. Next, the book explores  privacy-preserving traffic padding in Web applications, first via a  model to quantify privacy and cost and then by introducing randomness to  provide background knowledge-resistant privacy guarantee. Finally, the  book considers privacy-preserving smart metering by proposing a  light-weight approach to simultaneously preserving users' privacy and  ensuring billing accuracy.&nbsp;Designed for researchers and  professionals, this book is also suitable for advanced-level students  interestedin privacy, algorithms, or web applications.

New Directions in Contemporary Art

The field of AI Art is a hotbed for strange, uneasy partnerships between big tech, big art and critical culture. Not since Walter Benjamin's Age of Mechanical Reproduction has there been a similar challenge to humanist art criticism. This book examines how a contemporary critic should best engage with, contextualise and effectively critique machine-learning-based art. In considering this question, Nora Khan looks at the rush of institutions to place AI Art within an art-historical lineage while they simultaneously accept significant funding from technology companies. She discusses the scale and speed at which technological production, machine learning, and AI have abraded the individual's capacity for critical evaluation, moving us to consider what a shared, collective criticism of AI might sound like.

Information Security and Cryptography

[TO BE FINALISED] Lattice-based cryptography is a promising post-quantum cryptographic approach that can withstand potential attacks from future quantum computers. This book will introduce the theoretical mathematics that underpins lattice-based cryptography, such as the hard problems based on lattices upon which the security of lattice-based cryptosystems rely. It will provide examples of how these hard problems can be used to build basic lattice-based cryptographic primitives, namely encryption, digital signatures and key exchange, in addition to more advanced primitives such as identity-based encryption (IBE), attribute-based encryption (ABE) and hierarchical identity-based encryption (HIBE). Subsequently, the practical aspects of designing efficient and robust lattice-based cryptosystems in both hardware and software will be detailed. The resilience of lattice-based implementations to physical attacks will be discussed in addition to appropriate countermeasures that can be integrated into implementations to defend against such attacks. Finally, three case studies will be described to illustrate how lattice-based cryptography can be successfully embedded into real-world scenarios. <ul><li>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Considers both the theory and practical aspects of lattice-based cryptography, which is a very promising post-quantum cryptographic approach</li><li>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Provides a comprehensive theoretical overview of lattice-based cryptography detailing how to build both basic and advanced cryptographic primitives from lattice-based hard problems</li><li>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Discusses practical implementation approaches for lattice-based cryptography for both hardware and software platforms</li><li>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Describes physical-attack resistant methodologies for lattice-based cryptography</li><li>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Describes how lattice-based cryptography can be utilized in practice and integrated into real-word scenarios, including applications requires real-time speeds (satellite communications) and resource constrained applications (IoT)</li></ul>







Assuming only&nbsp;basic knowledge of cryptography and the mathematics typically taught in undegraduate Computer Science, the book will appeal to scientists and researchers, lecturers and tutors, as well as to students studying the field and to practitioners and professionals looking to learn more about it.

David J. Chalmers liefert eine verblüffende Analyse unserer technologischen Zukunft. Er argumentiert, dass virtuelle Welten keine Welten zweiter Klasse sind, dass wir in ihnen ein sinnvolles Leben führen können – ja, uns vielleicht schon in einer Simulation befinden! Chalmers nutzt die Technologie der virtuellen Realität, um neue, erhellende Perspektiven auf altbekannte philosophische Fragen zu eröffnen. Woher wissen wir, dass es eine Außenwelt gibt? Gibt es einen Gott? Was ist die Natur der Realität? Was ist die Beziehung zwischen Geist und Körper? Gespickt mit gewitzt veranschaulichenden Illustrationen ist Realität+ ein Grundlagenwerk für die Diskussion über Philosophie, Wissenschaft und Technologie.

Algorithms have become the key organizer through which power is enacted in our society. A huge amount of data regarding our daily routines are monitored and analyzed to make recommendations that manage, control, and lead our behaviors in everyday life. AI, Humans, and Misinformation: How Does AI Alter Human Behavior and How Do Humans Influence Algorithmic Misinformation? is a guide to understanding the dynamics of AI and misinformation in human contexts by addressing meaningful questions-How does AI alter human behavior and how do humans influence algorithmic decision-making? In answering these questions, this book examines the role of misinformation, disinformation, and fake news, and shows readers how to develop AI methods and algorithms that combat misinformation by using AI design choices that provide users and developers alike with meaningful control over AI. This book brings together various perspectives on algorithms into an integrated conceptual framework, and provides a broad socio-technical analysis, addressing critical and ethical issues of misinformation and fake news. The book offers a compelling insight into the misinformation phenomenon and the future of AI-based society. Readers will find an integrated technical analysis of the logic and social implications of algorithmic processes. Reporting from the cutting edge of critical technical methods and research, the result is useful and constructive for developing the relations between algorithms and humans. This is an imperative methodology for understanding what is at stake as industry and government use AI to reshape the world.
