Security Policy in System-on-Chip Designs: Specification, Implementation and Verification
by Sandip Ray Abhishek Basak Swarup BhuniaThis book offers readers comprehensive coverage of security policy specification using new policy languages, implementation of security policies in Systems-on-Chip (SoC) designs – current industrial practice, as well as emerging approaches to architecting SoC security policies and security policy verification. The authors focus on a promising security architecture for implementing security policies, which satisfies the goals of flexibility, verification, and upgradability from the ground up, including a plug-and-play hardware block in which all policy implementations are enclosed. Using this architecture, they discuss the ramifications of designing SoC security policies, including effects on non-functional properties (power/performance), debug, validation, and upgrade. The authors also describe a systematic approach for “hardware patching”, i.e., upgrading hardware implementations of security requirements safely, reliably, and securely in the field, meeting a critical need for diverse Internet of Things (IoT) devices.Provides comprehensive coverage of SoC security requirements, security policies, languages, and security architecture for current and emerging computing devices;Explodes myths and ambiguities in SoC security policy implementations, and provide a rigorous treatment of the subject;Demonstrates a rigorous, step-by-step approach to developing a diversity of SoC security policies;Introduces a rigorous, disciplined approach to “hardware patching”, i.e., secure technique for updating hardware functionality of computing devices in-field;Includes discussion of current and emerging approaches for security policy verification.

Cyber Situational Awareness in Public-Private-Partnerships: Organisationsübergreifende Cyber-Sicherheitsvorfälle effektiv bewältigen
by Florian Skopik Tímea Páhi Maria LeitnerDigitale Dienste werden für unsere Gesellschaft immer wichtiger, daher gelangen sie auch stärker ins Visier von Wirtschaftskriminellen, Spionen, Terroristen oder staatsfeindlichen Gruppierungen. Wie schützen sich Unternehmen und Staaten vor solchen Cyber-Attacken? Ein wichtiger Grundstein ist die Schaffung von Behörden, wie sie die EU-Richtlinie über Maßnahmen zur Gewährleistung eines hohen gemeinsamen Sicherheitsniveaus von Netz- und Informationssystemen (NIS) vorsieht. Das Buch zeigt, wie sich die Zusammenarbeit von Unternehmen mit diesen NIS-Behörden gestaltet mit dem gemeinsamen Ziel, Cyber-Sicherheit zu etablieren und zu gewährleisten. Darüber hinaus legen die Autoren dar, wie sich die NIS-Richtlinie und die im Mai 2018 in Kraft getretene EU-Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO) auf Security-Prozesse in Unternehmen auswirken können. Das Buch verknüpft technische, organisatorische und rechtliche Aspekte der Zusammenarbeit und spiegelt damit die Komplexität des Themas wider. Zugleich liefert es zahlreiche Vorschläge zur Umsetzung der EU-Richtlinie. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei das Konzept der „Cyber Situational Awareness“ – das bewusste Erfassen der aktuellen Lage – und damit ein Instrument, mit dem sich die Reaktionsfähigkeit bei Cyber-Angriffen wesentlich erhöhen lässt. Folgende Themen werden erläutert: • Aufbau und Nutzung von Cyber Situational Awareness • Erstellung von Cyber-Lagebildern auf nationaler Ebene • Informations- und Datenquellen für Cyber-Lagebilder• Informationsaustausch zwischen Cyber-Lagezentren und Stakeholdern • Informations- und Meldepflichten von Unternehmen• Planspiel zur Bildung und Evaluierung von Cyber Situational Awareness

A special emphasis is given to novel solutions to urgent problems that have been resisting traditional approaches for decades. Intended for providing readers with an update on biologically inspired approaches towards the computational replication of all the essential aspects of the human mind (the BICA Challenge), this book is expected to foster lively discussions on the topic and stimulate cross-disciplinary, cross-generation and cross-cultural collaboration.
Coastal Ocean Observing: Platforms, Sensors and Systems
by Jorge E. CorredorThis manual describes the wide range of electromechanical, electrochemical and electro-optical transducers at the heart of current field-deployable ocean observing instruments. Their modes of operation, precision and accuracy are discussed in detail. Observing platforms ranging from the traditional to the most recently developed are described, as are the challenges of integrating instrument suits to individual platforms. Technical approaches are discussed to address environmental constraints on instrument and platform operation such as power sources, corrosion, biofouling and mechanical abrasion. Particular attention is also given to data generated by the networks of observing platforms that are typically integrated into value-added data visualization products, including numerical simulations or models. Readers will learn about acceptable data formats and representative model products. The last section of the book is devoted to the challenges of planning, deploying and maintaining coastal ocean observing systems. Readers will discover practical applications of ocean observations in diverse fields including natural resource conservation, commerce and recreation, safety and security, and climate change resiliency and adaptation. This volume will appeal to ocean engineers, oceanographers, commercial and recreational ocean data users, observing systems operators, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the field of ocean observing.

Challenges of the Internet of Things: Technique, Use, Ethics
by Imad Saleh Mehdi Ammi Samuel SzonieckyThis book will examine the issues of IoT according to three complementary axes: technique, use, ethics. The techniques used to produce artefacts (physical objects, infrastructures), programs (algorithms, software) and data (Big data, linked data, metadata, ontologies) are the subject of many innovations as the field of IoT is rich and stimulating. Along with this technological boom, IoT uses colonize new fields of application in the fields of transport, administration, housing, maintenance, health, sports, well-being. ... Privileged interface with digital ecosystems now at the heart of social exchanges, the IoT develops a power to act whose consequences both good and bad make it difficult to assess a fair business.
