A sensational and compelling insider's view that lifts the lid on the fast-paced and dazzling world of derivatives, now in a smaller, paperback format.

Traders Guns and Money is a wickedly comic expose of the culture, games and pure deceptions played out every day in trading rooms around the world. And played out with other people's money.

This sensational insider's view of the business of trading and marketing derivatives, explains the frighteningly central role that derivatives and financial products played in the global financial crisis.

This worldwide bestseller reveals the truth about derivatives: those financial tools memorably described by Warren Buffett as 'financial weapons of mass destruction'. Traders, Guns and Money will introduce you to the players and the practices and reveals how the real money is made and lost.

The human race created money and finance. But our inventions re-create us. Mankind mistook money-a lubricant of society and human well-being-for an end in itself. Finance, the monetary shadow of real things, came to dominate human reality. Extreme Money tells the story of how this happened-and, in so doing, it tells the story of the modern world. Bestselling author Satyajit Das draws on 33 years of personal experience at the heart of modern global finance to narrate this story. Das reveals the spectacular, dangerous money games that have generated increasingly massive bubbles of fake growth, Ponzi prosperity, sophistication, and wealth-while endangering the jobs, possessions, and futures of virtually everyone outside the financial industry. Das shows how "extreme money" has become ever more unreal; how "voodoo banking" continues to generate massive phony profits even now; and how a new generation of "Masters of the Universe" has come to dominate the world. Extreme Money is about: The new financial fundamentalism: false gods, false prophets - Faith in money, faith in risk, faith in shadows The cult of risk and the growth engine that isn't - How financial engineering replaced real engineering and illusions replaced reality Financial alchemy and the "Doomsday Debt Machine"- The rise of the global financial machine we cannot escape The new global oligarchy-and the nihilistic games they play - Too smart, too fast, too greedy, too self-absorbed-and far too dangerous

Cryptography is an important tool for achieving information security. It has found applications in smart card, mobile phones, sensor network and RFID. Information security mainly covers confidentiality, authentication, data integrity and non-repudiation. Block cipher is an important symmetric-key cryptographic primitive which is employed to provide confidentiality. Substitution permutation network (SPN)-type block cipher is one of them. Advanced Encryption System (AES) is the most popular SPN-type block cipher and used in many wired and wireless devices. Mathematical security of cryptographic algorithms is no more sufficient in present day applications. It is very much essential to pay attention on implementation weakness of cryptographic algorithms against statistical attacks, power analysis attack, fault attack, cache attack etc. Among these attacks, fault attack is an efficient way to break the security of many cryptosystems. In this work, a fault based attack on MDS-AES has been proposed. Further, in this research fault attack resistant SPN-type architectures have been introduced. Successful attempts have been made in incorporating these architectures into a FPGA chip
