How we can evade, protest, and sabotage today's pervasive digital surveillance by deploying more data, not less-and why we should. With Obfuscation, Finn Brunton and Helen Nissenbaum mean to start a revolution. They are calling us not to the barricades but to our computers, offering us ways to fight today's pervasive digital surveillance-the collection of our data by governments, corporations, advertisers, and hackers. To the toolkit of privacy protecting techniques and projects, they propose adding obfuscation: the deliberate use of ambiguous, confusing, or misleading information to interfere with surveillance and data collection projects. Brunton and Nissenbaum provide tools and a rationale for evasion, noncompliance, refusal, even sabotage-especially for average users, those of us not in a position to opt out or exert control over data about ourselves. Obfuscation will teach users to push back, software developers to keep their user data safe, and policy makers to gather data without misusing it. Brunton and Nissenbaum present a guide to the forms and formats that obfuscation has taken and explain how to craft its implementation to suit the goal and the adversary. They describe a series of historical and contemporary examples, including radar chaff deployed by World War II pilots, Twitter bots that hobbled the social media strategy of popular protest movements, and software that can camouflage users' search queries and stymie online advertising. They go on to consider obfuscation in more general terms, discussing why obfuscation is necessary, whether it is justified, how it works, and how it can be integrated with other privacy practices and technologies.

This book introduces audio watermarking methods for copyright protection, which has drawn extensive attention for securing digital data from unauthorized copying. The book is divided into two parts. First, an audio watermarking method in discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and discrete cosine transform (DCT) domains using singular value decomposition (SVD) and quantization is introduced. This method is robust against various attacks and provides good imperceptible watermarked sounds. Then, an audio watermarking method in fast Fourier transform (FFT) domain using SVD and Cartesian-polar transformation (CPT) is presented. This method has high imperceptibility and high data payload and it provides good robustness against various attacks. These techniques allow media owners to protect copyright and to show authenticity and ownership of their material in a variety of applications. * Features new methods of audio watermarking for copyright protection and ownership protection * Outlines techniques that provide superior performance in terms of imperceptibility, robustness, and data payload * Includes applications such as data authentication, data indexing, broadcast monitoring, fingerprinting, etc.

A cryptographic security architecture is the collection of hardware and software that protects and controls the use of encryption keys and similar cryptovariables. It is the foundation for enforcing computer security policies and controls and preempting system misuse.

This book provides a comprehensive design for a portable, flexible high-security cryptographic architecture, with particular emphasis on incorporating rigorous security models and practices. "Cryptographic Security Architecture" unveils an alternative means of building a trustworthy system based on concepts from established software engineering principles and cognitive psychology. Its novel security-kernel design implements a reference monitor that controls access to security-relevant objects and attributes based on a configurable security policy.

Topics and features:

* Builds a concise architectural design that can be easily extended in the future

* Develops an application-specific security kernel that enforces a fully customizable, rule-based security policy

* Presents a new verification technique that allows verification from the high-level specification down to the running code

* Describes effective security assurance in random number generation, and the pitfalls associated therewith

* Examines the generation and protection of cryptovariables, as well as application of the architectural design to cryptographic hardware

The work provides an in-depth presentation of a flexible, platform-independent cryptographic security architecture suited to software, hardware, and hybrid implementations. Security design practitioners, professionals, researchers, and advanced students will find the work an essential resource.

Die Herausforderungen des Data Warehousing liegen langst jenseits von Grundkonzeption und Architektur, die weitestgehend gefestigt sind. Ein ganzheitliches proaktives Datenqualitatsmanagement und integriertes Metadatenmanagement sind fur ein effektives Data-Warehouse-System heute ebenso elementare Voraussetzung wie Datenschutz und Datensicherheit, die im Data-Warehouse-Umfeld neue Bedeutung erlangt haben. Zahlreiche Uberschneidungen und daher Synergiepotenziale bestehen mit Customer Relationship Management, Enterprise Application Integration und Knowledge Management.

Die Autoren zeigen zu diesem Zweck fundierte Konzepte und praktikable Losungen auf, die speziell im zweiten Teil anhand realer Umsetzungen mit bedeutenden europaischen Unternehmen (UBS, Credit Suisse, Swiss Re u. a.) verdeutlicht werden. "

From the original hard cover edition:

In the modern age of almost universal computer usage, practically every individual in a technologically developed society has routine access to the most up-to-date cryptographic technology that exists, the so-called RSA public-key cryptosystem. A major component of this system is the factorization of large numbers into their primes. Thus an ancient number-theory concept now plays a crucial role in communication among millions of people who may have little or no knowledge of even elementary mathematics.

Hans Riesel's highly successful first edition of this book has now been enlarged and updated with the goal of satisfying the needs of researchers, students, practitioners of cryptography, and non-scientific readers with a mathematical inclination. It includes important advances in computational prime number theory and in factorization as well as re-computed and enlarged tables, accompanied by new tables reflecting current research by both the author and his coworkers and by independent researchers.

The book treats four fundamental problems: the number of primes below a given limit, the approximate number of primes, the recognition of primes and the factorization of large numbers. The author provides explicit algorithms and computer programs, and has attempted to discuss as many of the classically important results as possible, as well as the most recent discoveries. The programs include are written in PASCAL to allow readers to translate the programs into the language of their own computers.

The independent structure of each chapter of the book makes it highly readable for a wide variety of mathematicians, students of applied number theory, and others interested in both study and research in number theory and cryptography. "

Kryptografie hat sich in jungster Zeit als eine Wissenschaft gezeigt, bei der mathematische Methoden mit besonderem Erfolg eingesetzt werden konnen. Das Buch stellt die gesamte Kryptografie unter diesem Aspekt vor: Grundlagen und Anwendungen, Verschlusselung und Authentifikation, symmetrische Algorithmen und Public-Key-Verfahren werden entsprechend ihrer Wichtigkeit prasentiert. Das Buch hat den Umfang einer 2-semestrigen Vorlesung, aufgrund seiner klaren Darstellung eignet es sich aber auch hervorragend zum Selbststudium. Zahlreiche Ubungsaufgaben von unterschiedlichem Schwierigkeitsgrad dienen zur Kontrolle des Verstandnisses."

Durante la II guerra mondiale hanno avuto luogo numerosi risultati di rilievo nel campo della crittografia militare. Uno dei meno conosciuti e quello usato dal servizio di intelligence svedese, nei confronti del codice tedesco per le comunicazioni strategiche con i comandi dei paesi occupati nel nord Europa, le cui linee passavano per la Svezia. In tal modo, durante la fase piu critica della guerra la direzione politica e militare svedese era in grado di seguire i piani e le disposizioni dei Tedeschi, venendo a conoscenza dei piu arditi progetti per modificare la propria politica, tenendo la Svezia fuori dalla guerra.

La violazione del codice tedesco e narrata in dettaglio, per la prima volta, con elementi che gli permettono di essere un ottima introduzione al campo della crittografia, oltre che un ritratto vitale e umano della societa del tempo: una disperata condizione bellica, l'intrigo politico e spionistico, il genio del matematico Arne Beurling, le difficolta e i trucchi del mestiere, e il lavoro sistematico e oscuro di una folla di decrittatori.
