Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Reinforcement Learning with Hybrid Quantum
Book SynopsisThis book explores the combination of Reinforcement Learning and Quantum Computing in the light of complex attacker-defender scenarios. Reinforcement Learning has proven its capabilities in different challenging optimization problems and is now an established method in Operations Research. However, complex attacker-defender scenarios have several characteristics that challenge Reinforcement Learning algorithms, requiring enormous computational power to obtain the optimal solution. The upcoming field of Quantum Computing is a promising path for solving computationally complex problems. Therefore, this work explores a hybrid quantum approach to policy gradient methods in Reinforcement Learning. It proposes a novel quantum REINFORCE algorithm that enhances its classical counterpart by Quantum Variational Circuits. The new algorithm is compared to classical algorithms regarding the convergence speed and memory usage on several attacker-defender scenarios with increasing complexity. In addition, to study its applicability on today's NISQ hardware, the algorithm is evaluated on IBM's quantum computers, which is accompanied by an in-depth analysis of the advantages of Quantum Reinforcement Learning.Table of ContentsMotivation: Complex Attacker-Defender Scenarios - The eternal conflict., The Information Game - A special Attacker-Defender Scenario., Reinforcement Learning and Bellman’s Principle of Optimality., Quantum Reinforcement Learning - Connecting Reinforcement Learning and Quantum Computing.- Approximation in Quantum Computing.- Advanced Quantum Policy Approximation in Policy Gradient Rein-forcement Learning.- Applying Quantum REINFORCE to the Information Game.- Evaluating quantum REINFORCE on IBM’s Quantum Hardware.- Future Steps in Quantum Reinforcement Learning for Complex Scenarios.- Conclusion.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Attribution of Advanced Persistent Threats: How
Book SynopsisAn increasing number of countries develop capabilities for cyber-espionage and sabotage. The sheer number of reported network compromises suggests that some of these countries view cyber-means as integral and well-established elements of their strategical toolbox. At the same time the relevance of such attacks for society and politics is also increasing. Digital means were used to influence the US presidential election in 2016, repeatedly led to power outages in Ukraine, and caused economic losses of hundreds of millions of dollars with a malfunctioning ransomware. In all these cases the question who was behind the attacks is not only relevant from a legal perspective, but also has a political and social dimension.Attribution is the process of tracking and identifying the actors behind these cyber-attacks. Often it is considered an art, not a science.This book systematically analyses how hackers operate, which mistakes they make, and which traces they leave behind. Using examples from real cases the author explains the analytic methods used to ascertain the origin of Advanced Persistent Threats.Table of ContentsAdvanced Persistent Threats.- The attribution process.-Analysis of malware.- Attack infrastructure.- Analysis of control servers.- Geopolitical analysis.- Telemetry - data from security products.- Methods of intelligence agencies.- Doxing.- False flags.- Group set-ups.- Communication.- Ethics of attribution.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Localization in Underwater Sensor Networks
Book SynopsisOcean covers 70.8% of the Earth’s surface, and it plays an important role in supporting all life on Earth. Nonetheless, more than 80% of the ocean’s volume remains unmapped, unobserved and unexplored. In this regard, Underwater Sensor Networks (USNs), which offer ubiquitous computation, efficient communication and reliable control, are emerging as a promising solution to understand and explore the ocean. In order to support the application of USNs, accurate position information from sensor nodes is required to correctly analyze and interpret the data sampled. However, the openness and weak communication characteristics of USNs make underwater localization much more challenging in comparison to terrestrial sensor networks.In this book, we focus on the localization problem in USNs, taking into account the unique characteristics of the underwater environment. This problem is of considerable importance, since fundamental guidance on the design and analysis of USN localization is very limited at present. To this end, we first introduce the network architecture of USNs and briefly review previous approaches to the localization of USNs. Then, the asynchronous clock, node mobility, stratification effect, privacy preserving and attack detection are considered respectively and corresponding localization schemes are developed. Lastly, the book’s rich implications provide guidance on the design of future USN localization schemes.The results in this book reveal from a system perspective that underwater localization accuracy is closely related to the communication protocol and optimization estimator. Researchers, scientists and engineers in the field of USNs can benefit greatly from this book, which provides a wealth of information, useful methods and practical algorithms to help understand and explore the ocean.Table of Contents 1.
