Book SynopsisThe aim of cryptography is to design primitives and protocols that withstand adversarial behavior. Information theoretic cryptography, how-so-ever desirable, is extremely restrictive and most non-trivial cryptographic tasks are known to be information theoretically impossible. In order to realize sophisticated cryptographic primitives, we forgo information theoretic security and assume limitations on what can be efficiently computed. In other words we attempt to build secure systems conditioned on some computational intractability assumption such as factoring, discrete log, decisional Diffie-Hellman, learning with errors, and many more.In this work, based on the 2013 ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award-winning thesis, we put forth new plausible lattice-based constructions with properties that approximate the sought after multilinear maps. The multilinear analog of the decision Diffie-Hellman problem appears to be hard in our construction, and this allows for their use in cryptography. These constructions open doors to providing solutions to a number of important open problems.Table of Contents Introduction Survey of Applications Multilinear Maps and Graded Encoding Systems Preliminaries I: Lattices Preliminaries II: Algebraic Number Theory Background The New Encoding Schemes Security of Our Constructions Preliminaries III: Computation in a Number Field Survey of Lattice Cryptanalysis One-Round Key Exchange Generalizing Graded Encoding Systems Bibliography Author's Biography

Book SynopsisCyber security is a key issue affecting the confidence of Internet users and the sustainability of businesses. It is also a national issue with regards to economic development and resilience. As a concern, cyber risks are not only in the hands of IT security managers, but of everyone, and non-executive directors and managing directors may be held to account in relation to shareholders, customers, suppliers, employees, banks and public authorities. The implementation of a cybersecurity system, including processes, devices and training, is essential to protect a company against theft of strategic and personal data, sabotage and fraud. Cybersecurity and Decision Makers presents a comprehensive overview of cybercrime and best practice to confidently adapt to the digital world; covering areas such as risk mapping, compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation, cyber culture, ethics and crisis management. It is intended for anyone concerned about the protection of their data, as well as decision makers in any organization.Table of ContentsForeword xi Preface xiii Introduction xvii Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisBy the year 2000, a balance was sought between security requirements and a respect for privacy, as well as for individual and collective freedoms. As we progress further into the 21st century, however, security is taking precedence within an increasingly controlled society.This shift is due to advances in innovative technologies and the investments made by commercial companies to drive constant technological progress. Despite the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) within the EU in 2018 or 2020’s California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), regulatory bodies do not have the ability to fully manage the consequences presented by emerging technologies. Security and Its Challenges in the 21st Century provides students and researchers with an international legal and geopolitical analysis; it is also intended for those interested in societal development, artificial intelligence, smart cities and quantum cryptology.Table of ContentsIntroduction ix Chapter 1 Security: Actors and Rights 1 1.1 Numerous actors 1 1.1.1 Nation-states 1 1.1.2 Multinationals 3 1.1.3 The GAFAM 9 1.2 Rights and security 10 1.2.1 The law of armed conflict 10 1.2.2 Environmental law 16 Chapter 2 Interceptions 25 2.1 International interceptions 25 2.1.1 Interceptions in the 20th century 25 2.1.2 Interceptions in the 21st century 27 2.2 Interceptions in France 37 2.2.1 The 1991 law 38 2.2.2 The law of March 9, 2004 41 2.2.3 The 2015 Intelligence Act 42 2.2.4 Reform of the code of criminal procedure 52 Chapter 3 Geolocation and Video Protection 59 3.1 International standards for both geolocation and video protection/video surveillance 59 3.1.1 Comparative legal issues in the era of geolocalization 59 3.1.2 Belgian legislation on geolocation 61 3.1.3 Video surveillance/video protection 63 3.2 France 67 3.2.1 The legislative and regulatory framework 67 3.2.2 The case law just before the LOPPSI 2 and the Jean-Marc Philippe establishments 69 3.2.3 The entry into force of the LOPPSI 2 74 3.2.4 Jurisprudence after LOPPSI 2 74 3.2.5 Video protection and terrorism 88 Chapter 4 Biometrics or “the Second Circle” 89 4.1 Biometrics and international law 90 4.1.1 The United States: a historical outline 90 4.1.2 Standardization 93 4.1.3 The European Union and biometrics 94 4.2 France 98 4.2.1 Visa control 98 4.2.2 Passports 99 4.2.3 The TES database 101 4.2.4 Setting up Alicem 117 4.3 Facial recognition at the heart of globalization 119 Chapter 5 Personal Data in the United States and Europe 121 5.1 The United States and the protection of personal data in the European Union: Directive 95/46 122 5.1.1 Sensitive data 122 5.1.2 The right of access 123 5.1.3 Security 123 5.1.4 The directive of December 15, 1997, followed by the directive of July 12, 2002 and supplemented by the directive of November 25, 2009 124 5.1.5 Geolocalization 125 5.1.6 Cookies 125 5.2 The GDPR 126 5.2.1 Consent 127 5.2.2 Metadata and the “Privacy” bill 134 5.3 Cloud computing 138 5.3.1 Definition 138 5.3.2 The Safe Harbor Principles agreement 139 5.3.3 Privacy Shields 140 5.3.4 Two models 140 Chapter 6 Cybersecurity and Privacy 145 6.1 Cybersecurity itself 146 6.1.1 Cybersecurity in the United States 146 6.1.2 Cybersecurity in China 147 6.1.3 Cybersecurity in Japan 147 6.1.4 Cybersecurity and the European Union 148 6.1.5 Cybersecurity in the United Kingdom 149 6.1.6 Cybersecurity in France 149 6.1.7 The dangers of cyber-attacks 151 6.1.8 Two interesting cases 154 6.2 Cybersecurity and cryptology 158 6.2.1 Cryptology: the science of secrecy 158 6.2.2 Risks 161 6.3 PNR data 164 6.3.1 Element of definition 164 6.3.2 PNR data and nation-states 166 6.4 Smart cities 179 6.4.1 The development of standardization and certification 181 6.4.2 Strategies and CSIRTs 182 Chapter 7 Security Instruments in Texts Relating to Terrorism 185 7.1 Security instruments 185 7.1.1 The millimeter-wave scanner 185 7.1.2 The body camera 196 7.1.3 UAVs: a dual use – military and civilian 202 7.2 Standards in relation to terrorism 208 7.2.1 The law of 2014 209 7.2.2 The law strengthening internal security and the fight against terrorism 219 Chapter 8 Security and Democracy 225 8.1 Fake news 226 8.1.1 The definition 227 8.1.2 Obligations 227 8.2 Hate speech 237 8.2.1 The report 237 8.2.2 The proposed new mechanism 239 Conclusion 245 References 249 Index 251

Book SynopsisArchiving has become an increasingly complex process. The challenge is no longer how to store the data but how to store it intelligently, in order to exploit it over time, while maintaining its integrity and authenticity. Digital technologies bring about major transformations, not only in terms of the types of documents that are transferred to and stored in archives, in the behaviors and practices of the humanities and social sciences (digital humanities), but also in terms of the volume of data and the technological capacity for managing and preserving archives (Big Data). Archives in The Digital Age focuses on the impact of these various digital transformations on archives, and examines how the right to memory and the information of future generations is confronted with the right to be forgotten; a digital prerogative that guarantees individuals their private lives and freedoms.Table of ContentsPreface ix Introduction xi Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisThe study of cyberspace is relatively new within the field of social sciences, yet interest in the subject is significant. Conflicts, Crimes and Regulations in Cyberspace contributes to the scientific debate being brought to the fore by addressing international and methodological issues, through the use of case studies.This book presents cyberspace as a socio-technical system on an international level. It focuses on state and non-state actors, as well as the study of strategic concepts and norms. Unlike global studies, the socio-technical approach and “meso” scale facilitate the analysis of cyberspace in international relations. This is an area of both collaboration and conflict for which specific modes of regulation have appeared.Table of ContentsIntroduction Xi Sébastien-Yves Laurent Chapter 1 The United States, States And The False Claims Of The End Of The Global Internet 1 Sébastien-Yves Laurent 1.1 Introduction 1 1.2 The Creation Of The Internet And The Development Of Cyberspace By The United States 2 1.2.1 The First International Telecommunications Systems Developed By All States 3 1.2.2 The Creation And Development Of The Internet By The United States 3 1.2.3 International Management Controlled By The United States 4 1.2.4 A Sociotechnical System Bearing A Composite American Ideology 10 1.2.5 The False Recomposition Of The Global Sociotechnical System: The Global Summits On The Information Society 11 1.3 Cyberspace Transformed By The Arrival In Force Of States 13 1.3.1 State Intentions In “National Strategies”: A Global Approach 14 1.3.2 Russian–American Structural Disagreements On Information Security And Cybersecurity 16 1.3.3 Discussions On Cybersecurity: The Symbolic International Restoration Of The Coercive State 18 1.4 Praxis Of State Coercion In Cyberspace 20 1.4.1 Intelligence And Surveillance Activities In The Digital Environment 21 1.4.2 Non-Military Cyber Operations 24 1.4.3 Interstate Digital Conflicts, Secrecy And Coercive Diplomacy 26 1.5 The Fragmentation Of The Global Internet And The Digital Sovereignty Of States 29 1.5.1 Linguistic Balkanization: Digital Babel 29 1.5.2 Political Fragmentation: Alternative Internets 31 1.6 The Strong Constraint Of Interstate Cooperation For All States 33 1.6.1 Interstate Agreements On An Embryo Of International Law 33 1.6.2 State Dependence On International Cooperation For Cybersecurity 34 1.7 Conclusion 35 1.8 References 36 Chapter 2 Cybersecurity In America: The US National Security Apparatus And Cyber Conflict Management 43 Frédérick Gagnon and Alexis Rapin 2.1 Introduction 43 2.2 Societal And Institutional Dynamics 45 2.3 Organizational And Bureaucratic Dynamics 49 2.4 Individual Dynamics 53 2.5 Conclusion 57 2.6 References 58 Chapter 3 Separation Of Offensive And Defensive Functions: The Originality Of The French Cyberdefense Model Called Into Question?

A smart home is programmed to act autonomously to improve comfort levels, save energy and potentially ensure safety; the result is a better way of life. Innovative solutions continue to be developed by researchers and engineers and thus smart home technologies are constantly evolving. By the same token, cybercrime is also becoming more prevalent. Indeed, a smart home system is made up of connected devices that cybercriminals can infiltrate to access private information, commit cyber vandalism or infect devices using botnets. This book addresses cyber attacks such as sniffing, port scanning, address spoofing, session hijacking, ransomware and denial of service. It presents, analyzes and discusses the various aspects of cybersecurity as well as solutions proposed by the research community to counter the risks. Cybersecurity in Smart Homes is intended for people who wish to understand the architectures, protocols and different technologies used in smart homes.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Home Automation

Book SynopsisPublic key cryptography was introduced by Diffie and Hellman in 1976, and it was soon followed by concrete instantiations of public-key encryption and signatures; these led to an entirely new field of research with formal definitions and security models. Since then, impressive tools have been developed with seemingly magical properties, including those that exploit the rich structure of pairings on elliptic curves. Asymmetric Cryptography starts by presenting encryption and signatures, the basic primitives in public-key cryptography. It goes on to explain the notion of provable security, which formally defines what "secure" means in terms of a cryptographic scheme. A selection of famous families of protocols are then described, including zero-knowledge proofs, multi-party computation and key exchange. After a general introduction to pairing-based cryptography, this book presents advanced cryptographic schemes for confidentiality and authentication with additional properties such as anonymous signatures and multi-recipient encryption schemes. Finally, it details the more recent topic of verifiable computation.Table of ContentsForeword xi David POINTCHEVAL Chapter 1 Public-Key Encryption and Security Notions 1 Nuttapong ATTRAPADUNG and Takahiro MATSUDA 1.1.

Book SynopsisThis thought-provoking book challenges the way we think about the regulation of cryptoassets based on cryptographic consensus technology. Bringing a timely new perspective, Syren Johnstone critiques the application of a financial regulation narrative to cryptoassets, questions the assumptions on which it is based, and considers its impact on industry development.Providing new insights into the dynamics of oversight regulation, Johnstone argues that the financial narrative stifles the 'New Prospect' for the formation of novel commercial relationships and institutional arrangements. The book asks whether regulations developed in the 20th century remain appropriate to apply to a technology emerging in the 21st, suggesting it is time to think about how to regulate for ecosystem development. Johnstone concludes with proposals for reform, positing a new framework that facilitates industry aspirations while remaining sustainable and compatible with regulatory objectives.Rethinking the Regulation of Cryptoassets will be an invaluable read for policy makers, regulators and technologists looking for a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding cryptoasset regulation and possible alternative approaches. It will also be of interest to scholars and students researching the intersection of law, technology, regulation and finance.Trade Review‘Prof. Johnstone’s book on the regulation of cryptoassets forces us to think twice about the way we try to regulate the digital economy. He challenges the habit of the regulators to push new disruptive ideas and instruments into old frames and concepts, and invites them to move out of their comfort zone. Rethinking the Regulation of Cryptoassets is a complete account of the challenges we face in developing a crypto-economy and proposes a coherent and sustainable regulatory framework that ensures both market efficiency and technological relevance.’ -- Eva Kaili, Chair of the STOA Committee, Rapporteur of the Blockchain Resolution of the European Parliament, Brussels‘Cryptographic consensus technology presents extraordinary market opportunities but also raises a host of vexing regulatory challenges. Rethinking the Regulation of Cryptoassets maps this complex terrain and charts a way forward, offering a novel approach to the regulatory enterprise to protect against abuses while fostering innovation. Johnstone brings considerable legal, financial, and technological sophistication to the task, and his analysis is at once rigorous and accessible. This book will become essential reading on the future of cryptoassets.’ -- Christopher Bruner, University of Georgia School of Law, US‘The crypto industry moves fast and requires regulatory frameworks that can cater to that pace. Prof. Johnstone brings forward a number of ideas that are worth reflecting on as crypto assets are definitely here to stay.’ -- Henri Arslanian, Global Crypto Leader and Partner, PwC‘Johnstone provides a refreshing way to think about the regulatory limits of applying the standard financial narrative to a technology that is globally programmable but locally valuable. His DBA (Determined-By-Architecture) framework may help align regulation with the borderless possibilities of mathematics.’ -- Pindar Wong, Chairman, VeriFi (Hong Kong) LtdTable of ContentsContents: About the author Foreword Preface Why cryptoasset regulation needs rethinking: an introduction PART I THE INITIAL JOURNEY Acquiring the tradition 2 Cypher fundamentals 3 Responses from the centre PART II THE PRIMARY ISSUES 4 Applying securities laws to cryptoassets 5 Regulatory building blocks and other concerns 6 Complexities in a developing technology PART III THE SECONDARY MARKET 7 An emerging market 8 Cryptoexchange models 9 The concept of an exchange 10 Regulatory concerns PART IV INFLUENCES AND CONSIDERATIONS 11 The ordering of progress 12 Ecosystem development 13 Incrementalism and paradigms PART V FUTURE DIRECTIONS 14 Responding to change 15 Proposals for policy development 16 The origin of cryptocommunity Suggested readings Postscript Index

Book SynopsisIn The Political Economy and Feasibility of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies Spencer J. Pack brings his authority as a scholar and advisor to this study of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies from the perspective of the history of economic thought. Major theorists analyzed in depth include Aristotle, Smith, Law, Marx, Keynes, Rothbard and Hayek, and the book draws extensively upon the ideas of Schumpeter, Galbraith and Sraffa.The book argues for reconceptualization of the basic microeconomic categories into rental, sale and financial asset prices along with a reconsideration of Keynes’ general theory to his special theory and Rothbard’s relationship to Rousseau. The author posits that intense theoretical and practical struggles will continue over who should control the quantity of money, the cause of the capitalist economy’s instability, and who or what is more dangerous: concentrated centers of private wealth and private enterprises or the contemporary state. He concludes that in terms of the quality of money, the cryptocurrency community is probably correct, with new forms of money potentially being better than sovereign fiat currency.The book’s relevance will appeal to members of the history of economic thought community, economic theorists, and political science and political theory scholars as well as to policy makers and members of the cryptocurrency community.Trade Review‘At a time when the history of economic thought is unfortunately neglected, it is refreshing to see this book in which Spencer Pack deals brilliantly with a critical contemporaneous and practical issue from the perspective of the history of economic thought. The analysis fills a big gap in the literature on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.’ -- Imad Moosa, RMIT, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: Preface PART I ESSENTIAL FOUNDATIONS: BEFORE THE FRENCH REVOLUTION 1.

Book SynopsisThe end of the 20th century witnessed an information revolution that introduced a host of new economic efficiencies. This economic change was underpinned by rapidly growing networks of infrastructure that have become increasingly complex. In this new era of global security we are now forced to ask whether our private efficiencies have led to public vulnerabilities, and if so, how do we make ourselves secure without hampering the economy. In order to answer these questions, Sean Gorman provides a framework for how vulnerabilities are identified and cost-effectively mitigated, as well as how resiliency and continuity of infrastructures can be increased. Networks, Security and Complexity goes on to address specific concerns such as determining criticality and interdependency, the most effective means of allocating scarce resources for defense, and whether diversity is a viable strategy. The author provides the economic, policy, and physics background to the issues of infrastructure security, along with tools for taking first steps in tackling these security dilemmas. He includes case studies of infrastructure failures and vulnerabilities, an analysis of threats to US infrastructure, and a review of the economics and geography of agglomeration and efficiency. This critical and controversial book will garner much attention and spark an important dialogue. Policymakers, security professionals, infrastructure operators, academics, and readers following homeland security issues will find this volume of great interest.Trade Review'The world is growing more interconnected every day, spun with fiber optic cable, electric power lines, transportation and water networks. Gorman provides a detailed analysis of the pattern of telecommunications networks and their interrelationships with other infrastructure. The work is truly interdisciplinary in scope, and provides planners, policy makers, security analysts, and infrastructure managers and educators in all of these fields with an invaluable resource in terms of a rich database, a methodology, and process for assembling, analyzing and portraying information on key infrastructure assets. This work emphasizes space and place in understanding interconnectivity of physical infrastructure, integrating policy and geography as well as providing an important complement to engineering approaches to interconnected infrastructure. He presents the readers with a broad set of questions and how they can be addressed about threats, risk and vulnerability and policy options for their reduction. This is a rare book of its kind, and joins a growing literature on how complexity is a key factor in understanding and setting policies for the services upon which our society depends.' -- Rae Zimmerman, New York University, US'The concepts of Critical Infrastructure Protection are radically redefining the relationship between the public and private sectors in terms of both our national and economic security. Networks, Security and Complexity is a worthy contribution in defining and advancing many of these concepts. The author is among the vanguard of rising young scholars who will assist this nation in thinking through the significant security challenges faced in the age of information and asymmetric threat.' -- John A. McCarthy, George Mason University School of Law, US'This volume on complex networks opens surprising perspectives for the interested reader, either a scientist or a policymaker. It describes and analyzes in a convincing way the significance of critical infrastructures, be it internet or transport connections. Due insight into the existence and emergence of such infrastructures is a prerequisite for an effective security policy. This study presents a model-based, operational framework for identifying critical domains in dynamic networks. The various concepts are illustrated by means of empirical case examples.' -- Peter Nijkamp, VU University Amsterdam, The NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: 1. Setting the Stage 2.

Book SynopsisCybersecurity could be defined as, beginning of the concept of trust and belief in cyber transactions. The era of computing began in the 20th century, with an enormous investment on computational research. Software programing languages were the foundational blocks of history of computing. Progressive research then led to networking, bringing about the formation of connectivity. Along with these creations, there was an accompanying factor of compromise on data privacy and hacking of data. This factor was the introduction to cyber security.This book is primarily created for the objective of knowledge sharing and knowledge-enabling on the conceptual ideologies of the cybersecurity. This book is aimed at students, early-career researchers, and also advanced researchers and professionals. The case studies described in the book create renewed knowledge on the innovations built on the applied theories of cybersecurity.

Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über gängige Verfahren des Identitätsmanagements (z. B. OpenID Connect) und die in elektronischen Ausweisdokumenten (z. B. im Personalausweis) verwendeten Sicherheitsmaßnahmen. Die Datenschutz-Garantien der vermittelten Ansätze werden im Detail behandelt. Im Bereich des World Wide Web erfährt der Leser, wo die Probleme aus Sicht des Datenschutzes liegen und wie diese Lücken geschlossen werden können. Anonyme Bezahlverfahren und eine Untersuchung von Bitcoin runden den technischen Teil des Buches ab. Der Leser lernt Ansätze aus der Praxis kennen, um so je nach Anforderungen in der Systementwicklung das passende Verfahren auswählen zu können.Im zweiten Teil werden die Grundlagen des Datenschutzrechts behandelt. Denn technische Maßnahmen sollen unerlaubte Datenverarbeitung verhindern; das Recht bestimmt, welche Datenverarbeitungen erlaubt sind. Ohne Kenntnisse im Datenschutzrecht können technische Maßnahmen nicht richtig implementiert werden. Zum besseren Verständnis erfolgt ein Überblick über die Rechtsordnung insgesamt, in die das Datenschutzrecht eingeordnet wird. Betrachtet werden die europäische und die verfassungsrechtliche Dimension des Datenschutzes. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf den Regelungen der Datenschutz-Grundverordnung. Dabei werden auch besonders häufig vorkommende und Fragen aufwerfende Verarbeitungssituationen wie das Webtracking erörtert. Beispielhaft werden datenschutzrechtliche Fälle bearbeitet.Trade Review“... Im rechtlichen Teil ist hervorzuheben, dass ...

Book SynopsisBlockchain is an emerging technology platform for developing decentralized applications and data storage, over and beyond its role as the technology underlying the cryptocurrencies. The basic tenet of this platform is that it allows one to create a distributed and replicated ledger of events, transactions, and data generated through various IT processes with strong cryptographic guarantees of tamper resistance, immutability, and verifiability. Public blockchain platforms allow us to guarantee these properties with overwhelming probabilities even when untrusted users are participants of distributed applications with the ability to transact on the platform. Even though, blockchain technology has become popularly known because of its use in the implementation of cryptocurrencies such as BitCoin, Ethereum, etc.; the technology itself holds much more promise in various areas such as time stamping, logging of critical events in a system, recording of transactions, trustworthy e-governance, etc. It introduces theoretical and practical aspects of blockchain technology. The book includes an in-depth insight into the need for decentralization, smart contracts, consensus both permissioned and permissionless, and various blockchain development frameworks, tools, and platforms. It can be used as a learning resource for various examinations and certifications related to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. This book explained the nuts and bolts of blockchain technology in lucid language to make students more familiar with the implementation perspective of this much-needed technology.Table of ContentsIntroduction to Blockchain Technology.- Blockchain Revolution from 1.0 to 5.0: Technological Perspective.- Decentralization and Architecture of Blockchain Technology.- Basics of Cryptographic Primitives for Blockchain Development.- Smart Contracts for Building Decentralized Applications.- Distributed Consensus for Permissionless Environment.- Mining Procedure in Distributed Consensus.- Distributed Consensus for Permissioned Environment.- Consensus Scalability in Blockchain Network.- Building Trust in Blockchain Network using Collective Signing.- Adoption of Blockchain in Enterprise Computing.- Blockchain for Supply Chain Management.- Blockchain for Government Services.- Impact of Blockchain on Academic Publishing.
