This volume presents the proceedings of the second European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS 92), held in Toulouse in November 1992. The aim of this symposium is to further the progress of research in computer security by bringing together researchers in this area, by promoting the exchange of ideas with system developers, and by encouraging links with researchers in areas related to computer science, informationtheory, and artificial intelligence. The volume contains 24 papers organizedinto sections on access control, formal methods, authentication, distributed systems, database security, system architectures, and applications. ESORICS 92 was organized by AFCET (Association francaise des sciences et technologies de l'information et des syst mes) in cooperation with a large number of national and international societies and institutes.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, ESORICS 98, held in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, in September 1998. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 57 submissions. The papers provide current results from research and development in design and specification of security policies, access control modelling and protocol analysis, mobile systems and anonymity, Java and mobile code, watermarking, intrusion detection and prevention, and specific threads.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the Third European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, held in Brighton, UK in November 1994. The 26 papers presented in the book in revised versions were carefully selected from a total of 79 submissions; they cover many current aspects of computer security research and advanced applications. The papers are grouped in sections on high security assurance software, key management, authentication, digital payment, distributed systems, access control, databases, and measures.

This reference work looks at modern concepts of computer security. It introduces the basic mathematical background necessary to follow computer security concepts before moving on to modern developments in cryptography. The concepts are presented clearly and illustrated by numerous examples. Subjects covered include: private-key and public-key encryption, hashing, digital signatures, authentication, secret sharing, group-oriented cryptography, and many others. The section on intrusion detection and access control provide examples of security systems implemented as a part of operating system. Database and network security is also discussed. The final chapters introduce modern e- business systems based on digital cash.

The 2004 Information Security Conference was the seventh in a series that started with the Information Security Workshop in 1997. A distinct feature of this series is the wide coverage of topics with the aim of encouraging interaction between researchers in di?erent aspects of information security. This trend c- tinuedintheprogramofthisyear’sconference.Theprogramcommitteereceived 106 submissions, from which 36 were selected for presentation. Each submission was reviewed by at least three experts in the relevant research area. We would liketothankalltheauthorsfortakingtheirtimetopreparethesubmissions,and wehopethatthosewhosepapersweredeclinedwillbeableto?ndanalternative forum for their work. We were fortunate to have an energetic team of experts who took on the task of the program committee. Their names may be found overleaf, and we thank them warmly for their time and e?orts. This team was helped by an even larger number of external reviewers who reviewed papers in their particular areas of expertise. A list of these names is also provided, which we hope is complete. We would also like to thank the advisory committee for their advice and s- port.TheexcellentlocalarrangementswerehandledbyDirkBalfanzandJessica Staddon. We made use of the electronic submission and reviewing software s- plied by COSIC at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Both the software and the ISC 2004 website were run on a server at UNC Charlotte, and were perfectly maintained by Seung-Hyun Im. We also appreciate assistance from Lawrence Teo in editing the proceedings.

This volume gives the proceedings of the Fourth Workshop on Computer-Aided Verification (CAV '92), held in Montreal, June 29 - July 1, 1992. The objective of this series of workshops is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the development and use of methods, tools and theories for the computer-aided verification of concurrent systems. The workshops provide an opportunity for comparing various verification methods and practical tools that can be used to assist the applications designer. Emphasis is placed on new research results and the application of existing results to real verification problems. The volume contains 31 papers selected from 75 submissions. These are organized into parts on reduction techniques, proof checking, symbolic verification, timing verification, partial-order approaches, case studies, model and proof checking, and other approaches. The volume starts with an invited lecture by Leslie Lamport entitled "Computer-hindered verification (humans can do it too)".

This workshop on stochastic theory and adaptive control assembled many of the leading researchers on stochastic control and stochastic adaptive control to increase scientific exchange and cooperative research between these two subfields of stochastic analysis. The papers included in the proceedings include survey and research. They describe both theoretical results and applications of adaptive control. There are theoretical results in identification, filtering, control, adaptive control and various other related topics. Some applications to manufacturing systems, queues, networks, medicine and other topics are gien.

The two volume set, LNCS 12308 + 12309, constitutes the proceedings of the 25th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, ESORICS 2020, which was held in September 2020. The conference was planned to take place in Guildford, UK. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference changed to an online format. The total of 72 full papers included in these proceedings was carefully reviewed and selected from 366 submissions. The papers were organized in topical sections named: database and Web security; system security; network security; software security; machine learning security; privacy; formal modelling; applied cryptography; analyzing attacks; post-quantum cryptogrphy; security analysis; and blockchain.

This book presents a collection of coordinated scientific papers describing the work conducted and the results achieved within the LOGIDATA+ project, a research action funded by the Italian national research council CNR. Theaim of the LOGIDATA+ project is the definition of advanced database systems which significantly extend the functionalities of the current systems, with specific reference to the application areas for which relational systemsare not considered satisfactory. These new systems will allow the definitionof data with complex structures, the representation of semantic relationships between objects, and the use of powerful query and update languages. They will be based on a combination of techniques originatingfrom relational databases and logic programming, with contributions from object-oriented programming. The goal of the LOGIDATA+ project is the design, definition, and prototype implementation of a database management system with complex structures and a class hierarchy, to be accessed through a rule-based language. This book presents an integrated view of the project at the end of the first phase. The second phase will be mainly concerned with the implementation of prototypes.

This book was written primarily for all those DTP users and programmers who want to keep up with the rapid development of electronic publishing, particular those who wish to develop new systems for the output of typefaces. In this volume, various formats are presented, their properties discussed and production requirements analyzed. Appendices provide readers additional information, largely on digital formats for typeface storage.
