With most services and products now being offered through digital
communications, new challenges have emerged for information
security specialists. A Multidisciplinary Introduction to
Information Security presents a range of topics on the security,
privacy, and safety of information and communication technology. It
brings together methods in pure mathematics, computer and
telecommunication sciences, and social sciences. The book begins
with the cryptographic algorithms of the Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) and Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman (RSA). It explains
the mathematical reasoning behind public key cryptography and the
properties of a cryptographic hash function before presenting the
principles and examples of quantum cryptography. The text also
describes the use of cryptographic primitives in the communication
process, explains how a public key infrastructure can mitigate the
problem of crypto-key distribution, and discusses the security
problems of wireless network access. After examining past and
present protection mechanisms in the global mobile
telecommunication system, the book proposes a software engineering
practice that prevents attacks and misuse of software. It then
presents an evaluation method for ensuring security requirements of
products and systems, covers methods and tools of digital forensics
and computational forensics, and describes risk assessment as part
of the larger activity of risk management. The final chapter
focuses on information security from an organizational and people
point of view. As our ways of communicating and doing business
continue to shift, information security professionals must find
answers to evolving issues. Offering a starting point for more
advanced work in the field, this volume addresses various security
and privacy problems and solutions related to the latest
information and communication technology.
