The first book on this emerging area, Trusted Computing Infrastructures covers the infrastructure support that will be needed to achieve its broad aims, namely a secure computing environment and a trustworthy Internet. This breakthrough resource will help security architects, CTOs, practitioners, and graduate students obtain background information on the latest version of the TPM hardware, understand the need and importance of a infrastructure support for trusted computing, and design products and services that will be compatible and make use of features of emerging Trusted Platforms.

This reference work looks at modern concepts of computer security. It introduces the basic mathematical background necessary to follow computer security concepts before moving on to modern developments in cryptography. The concepts are presented clearly and illustrated by numerous examples. Subjects covered include: private-key and public-key encryption, hashing, digital signatures, authentication, secret sharing, group-oriented cryptography, and many others. The section on intrusion detection and access control provide examples of security systems implemented as a part of operating system. Database and network security is also discussed. The final chapters introduce modern e- business systems based on digital cash.

With the popularity of the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) standard 802.11 WiFi and the growing interest in the next generation Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN) standard 802.16 WiMax, the need for effective solutions to the inherent security weaknesses of these networking technologies has become of critical importance. Thoroughly explaining the risks associated with deploying WLAN and WMAN networks, this groundbreaking book offers professionals practical insight into identifying and overcoming these security issues. Including detailed descriptions of possible solutions to a number of specific security problems, the book gives practitioners the hands-on techniques that they need to secure wireless networks in the enterprise and the home.
