Recent advances in technologies have created a need for solving security problems in a systematic way. With this in mind, network security technologies have been produced in order to ensure the security of software and communication functionalities at basic, enhanced, and architectural levels. Network Security Technologies: Design and Applications presents theoretical frameworks and the latest research findings in network security technologies while analyzing malicious threats which can compromise network integrity. This book is an essential tool for researchers and professionals interested in improving their understanding of the strategic role of trust at different levels of information and knowledge society.

In the digital era, information is the most valuable resource, and protecting one’s assets is a constant struggle for both individuals and organizations. Analyzing Security, Trust, and Crime in the Digital World explores techniques and technologies used to secure data and prevent intrusion in virtual environments. Within these pages, computer scientists, programmers, engineers, and practitioners will find meaningful research on intrusion detection and authentication techniques in order to further defend their own systems and protect the information therein.

Security threats are a significant problem for information technology companies today. This book focuses on how to mitigate these threats by using security standards and provides ways to address associated problems faced by engineers caused by ambiguities in the standards. The security standards are analysed, fundamental concepts of the security standards presented, and the relations to the elementary concepts of security requirements engineering (SRE) methods explored. Using this knowledge, engineers can build customised methods that support the establishment of security standards. Standards such as Common Criteria or ISO 27001 are explored and several extensions are provided to well-known SRE methods such as Si*, CORAS, and UML4PF to support the establishment of these security standards. Through careful analysis of the activities demanded by the standards, for example the activities to establish an Information Security Management System (ISMS) in compliance with the ISO 27001 standard, methods are proposed which incorporate existing security requirement approaches and patterns. Understanding Pattern and Security Requirements engineering methods is important for software engineers, security analysts and other professionals that are tasked with establishing a security standard, as well as researchers who aim to investigate the problems with establishing security standards. The examples and explanations in this book are designed to be understandable by all these readers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Security in Computer Networks and Distributed Systems, SNDS 2014, held in Trivandrum, India, in March 2014. The 32 revised full papers presented together with 9 short papers and 8 workshop papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 129 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on security and privacy in networked systems; multimedia security; cryptosystems, algorithms, primitives; system and network security; short papers. The workshop papers were presented at the following workshops: Second International Workshop on Security in Self-Organising Networks (Self Net 2014); Workshop on Multidisciplinary Perspectives in Cryptology and Information Security (CIS 2014); Second International Workshop on Trust and Privacy in Cyberspace (Cyber Trust 2014).

The 1st volume of new 'Advances in Networks, Security and Communications: Reviews' Book Series contains 15 chapters submitted by 42 contributors from 13 countries. The book is divided into 3 parts: Networks, Security and Communication. The book provides focused coverage of these 3 main technologies. Chapters are written by experts in the field and address the immediate and long-term challenges in the authors' respective areas of expertise.

Cyber-attacks are rapidly becoming one of the most prevalent issues globally, and as they continue to escalate, it is imperative to explore new approaches and technologies that help ensure the security of the online community. Beyond cyber-attacks, personal information is now routinely and exclusively housed in cloud-based systems. The rising use of information technologies requires stronger information security and system procedures to reduce the risk of information breaches. Advanced Methodologies and Technologies in System Security, Information Privacy, and Forensics presents emerging research and methods on preventing information breaches and further securing system networks. While highlighting the rising concerns in information privacy and system security, this book explores the cutting-edge methods combatting digital risks and cyber threats. This book is an important resource for information technology professionals, cybercrime researchers, network analysts, government agencies, business professionals, academicians, and practitioners seeking the most up-to-date information and methodologies on cybercrime, digital terrorism, network security, and information technology ethics.
