Emerging Security Algorithms and Techniques
Ahmad, Khaleel, Doja, M. N., Udzir, Nur Izura
Cyber security is the protection of information systems, hardware, software, and information as well from theft, damages, interruption or misdirection to any of these resources. In other words, cyber security focuses on protecting computers, networks, programs and data (in use, in rest, in motion) from unauthorized or unintended access, change or destruction. Therefore, strengthening the security and resilience of cyberspace has become a vital homeland security mission.
Cyber security attacks are growing exponentially. Expert observers are optimistic that a new method called honey encryption will deter hackers by serving up fake data for every incorrect speculation of the key code. Then, there are various emerging algorithms and techniques viz. DES, AES, IDEA, WAKE, CAST5, Serpent Algorithm, Chaos-Based Cryptography McEliece, Niederreiter, NTRU, etc.
The book offers comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics, including:
- Modular Arithmetic, Finite Fields
- Prime Number, DLP, Integer Factorization Problem
- Symmetric Cryptography
- Asymmetric Cryptography
- Post-Quantum Cryptography
- Identity Based Encryption
- Attribute Based Encryption
- Key Management
- Entity Authentication, Message Authentication
- Digital Signatures
- Hands-On "SageMath"
This book serve as a textbook/ reference book for UG, PG, PhD students, Teachers, Researchers and Engineers in the disciplines of Information Technology, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering.
