This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the IFIP WG 11.4 International Workshop on Open Problems in Network Security, iNetSec 2011, held in Lucerne, Switzerland, in June 2011, co-located and under the auspices of IFIP SEC 2011, the 26th IFIP TC-11 International Information Security Conference. The 12 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 28 initial submissions; they are fully revised to incorporate reviewers' comments and discussions at the workshop. The volume is organized in topical sections on assisting users, malware detection, saving energy, policies, and problems in the cloud.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the IFIP WG 11.4 International Workshop on Open Problems in Network Security, iNetSec 2015, held in Zurich, Switzerland, in October 2015. iNetSec is the main workshop of the IFIP working group WG 11.4; its objective is to present and discuss open problems and new research directions on all aspects related to network security. The 9 revised full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 13 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: network security; intrusion detection; anonymous communication; and cryptography.

The working group WG 11.4 of IFIP ran an iNetSec conference a few times in the past, sometimes together with IFIP security conference, sometimes as a stand-alone workshop with a program selected from peer-reviewed submissions. When we were elected to chair WG 11.4 we asked ourselveswhether the security and also the computer science community at large bene?ts from this workshop. In particular,as there aremany (too many?) securityconferences, it has become di?cult to keep up with the ?eld. After having talked to many colleagues, far too many to list all of them here, we decided to try a di?erent kind of workshop: one where people would attend to discuss open research topics in our ?eld, as typically only happens during the co?ee breaks of ordinary conferences. Toenablethiswecalledforabstractsof2pageswheretheauthorsoutlinethe open problems that they would like to discuss at the workshop, the intent being that the author would be given 15 minutes to present the topic and another 15 minutes for discussion. These abstracts were then read by all members of the Program Committee and ranked by them according to whether they thought thiswouldleadtoaninterestingtalk and discussion. We then simply selected the abstracts that got the best rankings. We were happy to see this result in many really interesting talks and disc- sions in the courseof the workshop.Ofcourse,these lively anddirect discussions are almost impossible to achieve in a printed text. Still, we asked the authors to distill the essence of these discussions into full papers. The results are in your hands.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the IFIP WG 11.4 International Workshop, iNetSec 2010, held in Sofia, Bulgaria, in March 2010. The 14 revised full papers presented together with an invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected during two rounds of refereeing. The papers are organized in topical sections on scheduling, adversaries, protecting resources, secure processes, and security for clouds.

Group Testing Theory in Network Security explores a new branch of group testing theory with an application which enhances research results in network security. This brief presents new solutions on several advanced network security problems and mathematical frameworks based on the group testing theory, specifically denial-of-service and jamming attacks. A new application of group testing, illustrated in this text, requires additional theories, such as size constraint group testing and connected group testing. Included in this text is a chapter devoted to discussing open problems and suggesting new solutions for various network security problems. This text also exemplifies the connection between mathematical approaches and practical applications to group testing theory in network security. This work will appeal to a multidisciplinary audience with interests in computer communication networks, optimization, and engineering.

Covering attack detection, malware response, algorithm and mechanism design, privacy, and risk management, this comprehensive work applies unique quantitative models derived from decision, control, and game theories to understanding diverse network security problems. It provides the reader with a system-level theoretical understanding of network security, and is essential reading for researchers interested in a quantitative approach to key incentive and resource allocation issues in the field. It also provides practitioners with an analytical foundation that is useful for formalising decision-making processes in network security.

The rise of technology has proven to be a threat to personal data, cyberspace protection, and organizational security. However, these technologies can be used to enhance the effectiveness of institutional security. Through the use of blockchain and the internet of things (IoT), organizations may combat cybercriminals and better protect their privacy. The Research Anthology on Convergence of Blockchain, Internet of Things, and Security describes the implementation of blockchain and IoT technologies to better protect personal and organizational data as well as enhance overall security. It also explains the tools, applications, and emerging innovations in security and the ways in which they are enhanced by blockchain and IoT. Covering topics such as electronic health records, intrusion detection, and software engineering, this major reference work is an essential resource for business leaders and executives, IT managers, computer scientists, hospital administrators, security professionals, law enforcement, students and faculty of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the satellite workshops held around the 17th International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security, ACNS 2019, in Bogota, Colombia, in June 2019. The 10 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. They stem from the following workshops: AIBlock 2019: First International Workshop on Application Intelligence and Blockchain SecurityAIoTS 2019:First International Workshop on Articial Intelligence and Industrial Internet-of-Things SecurityCloud S&P 2019:First International Workshop on Cloud Security and PrivacyPriDA 2019:First InternationalWorkshop on Privacy-preserving Distributed Data AnalysisSiMLA 2019: First International Workshop on Security in Machine Learning and its Applications

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) provides cloud-like subscription-oriented services at the edge of mobile network. For low latency and high bandwidth services, edge computing assisted IoT (Internet of Things) has become the pillar for the development of smart environments and their applications such as smart home, smart health, smart traffic management, smart agriculture, and smart city. This book covers the fundamental concept of the MEC and its real-time applications. The book content is organized into three parts: Part A covers the architecture and working model of MEC, Part B focuses on the systems, platforms, services and issues of MEC, and Part C emphases on various applications of MEC. This book is targeted for graduate students, researchers, developers, and service providers interested in learning about the state-of-the-art in MEC technologies, innovative applications, and future research directions.
