Taylor & Francis Ltd Multimedia Content Encryption
Book SynopsisThe widespread use of image, audio, and video data makes media content protection increasingly necessary and urgent. For maximum safety, it is no longer sufficient to merely control access rights. In order to fully protect multimedia data from piracy or unauthorized use, it must be secured through encryption prior to its transmission or distribution. Multimedia Content Encryption: Techniques and Applications presents the latest research results in this dynamic field. The book begins with the history of multimedia encryption and then examines general performance requirements of encryption and fundamental encrypting techniques. It discusses common techniques of complete, partial, and compression-combined encryption; as well as the more specialized forms, including perception, scalable, and commutative encryption. In addition, the author reviews watermarking and joint fingerprint embedding and decryption. Later chapters discuss typical attacks on multimedia encryptiTable of ContentsIntroduction.

Apress Beginning C for Arduino Second Edition
Trade Review“The book is highly readable and starts from basics, like how to install the Arduino integrated development environment (IDE). The appendix of the book has a lot of good information on how and where to order the parts and boards. … I would strongly advise reading the book in a hands-on fashion and not just reading it alone. … High school and beginning college students will have a blast reading it and implementing the programs. I highly recommend it.” (Naga Narayanaswamy, Computing Reviews, April, 2016)Table of Contents Introduction to Arduino Microcontrollers Arduino C Data Types Decision Making in C Program Loops Functions in C Storage Classes and Scope Introduction to Pointers Using Pointers Effectively I/O Operations The C Preprocessor A Gentle Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming Arduino Libraries Arduino I/O Appendix A - Suppliers Appendix B - Hardware Components

Apress Programming with 64Bit ARM Assembly Language
Table of ContentsIntroductionGeneral preface information in most computer books.Chapter 1: Getting StartedProvide a bit of background and history of the ARM Processor leading up to the modern 64-bit processors that this book is about. Covers what you need to write programs like those in this book. GNU GCC compiler, GDB, a text editor, etc. Covers hardware you require to run the programs in this book including how to run a Raspberry Pi in 64-bit mode or using another SBC like the NVidia Jetson Nano.Talk about how programs are represented in memory and then how you use an Assembler to generate them. Cover the linking process and give a very small example. The chapter concludes with a simple “Hello World” program written in ARM 64-bit Assembler.About the ARM ProcessorWhat You Will LearnWhy Use AssemblyTools You NeedComputers & NumbersARM Assembly InstructionsCPU RegistersARM Instruction FormatMemoryAbout the GCC AssemblerHello WorldAbout the Starting CommentWhere to StartAssembly InstructionsDataCalling LinuxReverse Engineering Our ProgramThe goal is to always have working sample programs, this is the first, to just ensure the reader can enter, assemble and link.Chapter 2: Loading, Adding & SubtractingNegative NumbersAbout Two’s ComplementAbout Gnome Programmer’s CalculatorAbout One’s ComplementBig vs. Little EndianAbout Bi-endianPros of Little EndianShifting & RotatingAbout Carry FlagAbout the Barrel ShifterBasics of shifting and rotatingLogical Shift LeftLogical Shift RightArithmetic Shift RightRotate RightRotate Right ExtendMOV/MVNAbout MOVTThe Dreaded Flexible Operand2Register & ShiftSmall Number & RotationMVNMOV ExamplesADD/ADCAdd With CarrySUBChapter 3: Tooling UpNow that we can start to write some longer code, we need to get into debugging.
