These are the proceedings of Eurocrypt 2008, the 27th Annual IACR Eu- crypt Conference. The conference was sponsored by the International Asso- ation for Cryptologic Research (www.iacr.org), this year in cooperation with Tubitak (www.tubitak.gov.tr). The Eurocrypt 2008 Program Committee (PC) consisted of 28 members whose names are listed on the next page. There were 163 papers submitted to the conference and the PC chose 31 of them. Each paper was assigned to at least three PC members, who either handled it themselves or assigned it to an external referee. After the reviews were submitted, the committee deliberated both online for severalweeks and?nally ina face-to-facemeetingheldinBristol. Papers were refereed anonymously, with PC papers having a minimum of ?ve reviewers. All of our deliberations were aided by theWeb Submission and- viewSoftware written and maintainedby Shai Halevi. In addition to noti?cation of the decision of the committee, authors received reviews; the default for any report given to the committee was that it should be available to the authors as well.

So much of what is commonplace today was once considered impossible, or at least wishful thinking. Laser beams in the operating room, cars with built-in guidance systems, cell phones with email access. There's just no getting around the fact that technology always has, and always will be, very cool.

But technology isn't only cool; it's also very smart. That's why one of the hottest technological trends nowadays is the creation of smart homes.

At an increasing rate, people are turning their homes into state-of-the-art machines, complete with more switches, sensors, and actuators than you can shake a stick at. Whether you want to equip your home with motion detectors for added security, install computer-controlled lights for optimum convenience, or even mount an in-home web cam or two purely for entertainment, the world is now your oyster. Ah, but like anything highly technical, creating a smart home is typically easier said than done.

Thankfully, "Smart Home Hacks" takes the guesswork out of the process. Through a seemingly unending array of valuable tips, tools, and techniques, "Smart Home Hacks" explains in clear detail how to use Mac, Windows, or Linux to achieve the automated home of your dreams. In no time, you'll learn how to turn a loose collection of sensors and switches into a well-automated and well-functioning home no matter what your technical level may be.

"Smart Home Hacks" covers a litany of stand-alone and integrated smart home solutions designed to enhance safety, comfort, and convenience in new and existing homes. Kitchens, bedrooms, home offices, living rooms, and even bathrooms are all candidates for smart automation and therefore are all addressed in"Smart Home Hacks,"

Intelligently written by engineering guru and George Jetson wannabe, Gordon Meyer, "Smart Home Hacks" leaves no stone unturned. From what to purchase to how to use your remote control, it's the ultimate guide to understanding and implementing complete or partial home automation.

Integer Algorithms in Cryptology and Information Assurance is a collection of the author's own innovative approaches in algorithms and protocols for secret and reliable communication. It concentrates on the "what" and "how" behind implementing the proposed cryptographic algorithms rather than on formal proofs of "why" these algorithms work.The book consists of five parts (in 28 chapters) and describes the author's research results in:This text contains innovative cryptographic algorithms; computationally efficient algorithms for information assurance; new methods to solve the classical problem of integer factorization, which plays a key role in cryptanalysis; and numerous illustrative examples and tables that facilitate the understanding of the proposed algorithms.The fundamental ideas contained within are not based on temporary advances in technology, which might become obsolete in several years. The problems addressed in the book have their own intrinsic computational complexities, and the ideas and methods described in the book will remain important for years to come.

Among the tests you perform on web applications, security testing is perhaps the most important, yet it's often the most neglected. The recipes in the Web Security Testing Cookbook demonstrate how developers and testers can check for the most common web security issues, while conducting unit tests, regression tests, or exploratory tests. Unlike ad hoc security assessments, these recipes are repeatable, concise, and systematic-perfect for integrating into your regular test suite. Recipes cover the basics from observing messages between clients and servers to multi-phase tests that script the login and execution of web application features. By the end of the book, you'll be able to build tests pinpointed at Ajax functions, as well as large multi-step tests for the usual suspects: cross-site scripting and injection attacks. This book helps you: Obtain, install, and configure useful-and free-security testing tools Understand how your application communicates with users, so you can better simulate attacks in your tests Choose from many different methods that simulate common attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and manipulating hidden form fields Make your tests repeatable by using the scripts and examples in the recipes as starting points for automated tests

Don't live in dread of the midnight phone call telling you that your site has been hacked. With Web Security Testing Cookbook and the free tools used in the book's examples, you can incorporate security coverage into your test suite, and sleep in peace.

If you are a network administrator, you're under a lot of pressure to ensure that mission-critical systems are completely safe from malicious code, buffer overflows, stealth port scans, SMB probes, OS fingerprinting attempts, CGI attacks, and other network intruders. Designing a reliable way to detect intruders before they get in is an essential--but often overwhelming--challenge. Snort, the defacto open source standard of intrusion detection tools, is capable of performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on IP network. It can perform protocol analysis, content searching, and matching. Snort can save countless headaches; the new "Snort Cookbook" will save countless hours of sifting through dubious online advice or wordy tutorials in order to leverage the full power of SNORT.

Each recipe in the popular and practical problem-solution-discussion O'Reilly cookbook format contains a clear and thorough description of the problem, a concise but complete discussion of a solution, and real-world examples that illustrate that solution. The "Snort Cookbook" covers important issues that sys admins and security pros will us everyday, such as:

installation

optimization

logging

alerting

rules and signatures

detecting viruses

countermeasures

detecting common attacks

administration

honeypots

log analysis

But the "Snort Cookbook" offers far more than quick cut-and-paste solutions to frustrating security issues. Those who learn best in the trenches--and don't have the hours to spare to pore over tutorials or troll online for best-practice snippets of advice--will find that the solutions offered in this ultimate Snort sourcebook not only solveimmediate problems quickly, but also showcase the best tips and tricks they need to master be security gurus--and still have a life.

With the spread of web-enabled desktop clients and web-server based applications, developers can no longer afford to treat security as an afterthought. It's one topic, in fact, that .NET forces you to address, since Microsoft has placed security-related features at the core of the .NET Framework. Yet, because a developer's carelessness or lack of experience can still allow a program to be used in an unintended way, Programming .NET Security shows you how the various tools will help you write secure applications.

Negli ultimi decenni il rapido sviluppo delle tecnologie IT ha influito in maniera determinante nella vita dell uomo, trasformando, spesso inconsapevolmente il suo lavoro, le sue abitudini, il suo modo di interagire con il mondo che lo circonda. Il fenomeno della "globalizzazione" dei mercati e solo una delle trasformazioni che l intero pianeta sta attraversando. Anche se i vantaggi derivanti dall utilizzo delle moderne tecnologie di comunicazione ci facilitano nel lavoro e nella attivita ludiche e personali, molte sono le perplessita e i dubbi che attanagliano tutti coloro che le utilizzano. Se l Information Technology rappresenta il "combustibile" indispensabile per la sopravvivenza delle aziende e delle attivita dell uomo, nel contempo puo generare problematicita di grande rilievo. Il testo tratta alcune delle problematiche che destano preoccupazioni rilevanti nel mondo intero come il consumo energetico dei sistemi informatici (incontrollabili e inquinanti), il problema della garanzia della privacy e dell integrita dei dati su Internet, l utilizzo della rete Internet come strumento di controllo delle masse, la possibile sparizione degli attuali sistemi operativi che potranno essere sostituiti dal sistema operativo Web Operating System.
