Computer Viruses And Malware

Network Security Policies and Procedures Network Security Policies and Procedures is intended for both technical and management professionals interested in learning how security manifests itself throughout all levels of an organization. Network Security Policies and Procedures gives the reader a strong, multi-disciplinary understanding of how to pursue this goal.Company network administrators are compelled today to aggressively pursue a robust network security regime.

The author discusses topics that intersect cyber security and data mining, while providing techniques for improving cyber security.Data Warehousing and Data Mining Techniques for Cyber Security is designed for practitioners and researchers in industry. The ever expanding, tremendous amount of data collected and stored in large databases has far exceeded our human ability to comprehend--without the proper tools. Data Warehousing and Data Mining Techniques for Cyber Security contributes to the discipline of security informatics.

The main challenge is that sensitive data can be inferred from answers to seemingly innocent aggregations of the data. First, the sensitive data stored in underlying data warehouses must be kept secret. Preserving Privacy in On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) OLAP systems usually need to meet two conflicting goals.

Malware Detection Critical infrastructures in domains such as medical, power, telecommunications, and finance are highly dependent on information systems., the good guys are falling behind in the arms race. Given the deleterious affects of malware on our cyber infrastructure, identifying malicious programs is an important goal.

This book is also suitable for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level students in computer science. Since the cost of information processing and internet accessibility is dropping, an increasing number of organizations are becoming vulnerable to cyber attacks. This volume introduces techniques for applications in the area of retail, finance, and bioinformatics, to name a few.

Second, analytical queries about the data must be allowed for decision support purposes. First, the sensitive data stored in underlying data warehouses must be kept secret.

Many malicious attacks are achieved by malicious code or malware, such as viruses and worms. Shared resources, such as the Internet, have created a highly interconnected cyber-infrastructure. These two factors have exposed our critical infrastructures to malicious attacks and accidental failures. Given the deleterious affects of malware on our cyber infrastructure, identifying malicious programs is an important goal.

When sensor nodes are compromised, the attacker can learn all the secrets stored on them and launch a variety of attacks.An attacker can easily capture and compromise a few sensor nodes without being noticed.. Such sensor networks have recently emerged as an important means to study and interact with the physical world and have received a lot of attention due to their wide applications in military and civilian operations such as target tracking and data acquisition.

It is also suitable as a textbook for advanced-level students. Multivariate public key cryptosystems (MPKC) is a fast-developing new area in cryptography.

However, concerns are growing that use of this technology can violate individual privacy.

.

Second, sensor nodes are usually deployed unattended and built without compromise prevention in mind. However, in many of these applications, wireless sensor networks could be deployed in hostile environments where there are malicious attacks against the network.An attacker can easily capture and compromise a few sensor nodes without being noticed. g.

Computer Viruses and Malware is designed for a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in industry.

Data mining has emerged as a significant technology for gaining knowledge from vast quantities of data. Privacy Preserving Data Mining provides a comprehensive overview of available approaches, techniques and open problems in privacy preserving data mining.

Axelsson's examination.

CryptoGraphics: Exploiting Graphics Cards for Security explores the potential for implementing ciphers within GPUs, and describes the relevance of GPU-based encryption to the security of applications involving remote displays. This is especially so for video conferencing, thin-client computing and Internet cafes. A detailed description for a GPU based implementation of AES is provided.CryptoGraphics Software that covertly monitors user actions, also known as spyware, has become a first-level security threat due to its ubiquity and the difficulty of detecting and removing it.

This is especially so for video conferencing, thin-client computing and Internet cafes.

.As is the case with any good piece of research, we hope to gain an understanding of a problem, not just a recipe or simple solution of immediate, but limited utility.

Economics of Information Security is designed for researchers and managers struggling to understand the risks in organizations dependent on secure networks. Economics of Information Security. Economics of Information Security applies economics not to generate breakthroughs in theoretical economics, but rather breakthroughs in understanding the problems of security. Security, privacy and trusted computing are examined distinctly, using the tools of economics, and as elements of a larger dynamic system.

Axelsson's examination. For much of its formative period, computer security concentrated on devel­ oping systems that, in effect, embodied a fortress model of protection.

Unencrypted display data can be confined to the GPU to avoid exposing it to any malware running on the operating system.

This is especially so for video conferencing, thin-client computing and Internet cafes. The authors evaluate the operations found in symmetric and asymmetric key ciphers to determine if encryption can be programmed in existing GPUs. This work extends such research by considering the use of a GPU as a parallel processor for encrypting data. A detailed description for a GPU based implementation of AES is provided.

The title of the work, "Under­ standing Intrusion Detection Through Visualization," is particularly telling. In the Swedish system, it is the job of the opponent to place the candidate's work into a broader perspective, demonstrating its significance and contributions to the field and then to introduce the work to the attendees at the examination. This monograph is the outgrowth of Stefan Axelson's PhD Dissertation at Chalmers University in Göteborg, Sweden.
