Description & Coverage
Description:

The recent explosion in complex global networking architectures has spurred a concomitant rise in the need for robust information security. Further, as computing power increases exponentially with every passing year, so do the number of proposed cryptographic schemata for improving and ensuring the encryption integrity of cutting-edge infosec protocols.

Improving Information Security Practices through Computational Intelligence presents an overview of the latest and greatest research in the field, touching on such topics as cryptology, stream ciphers, and intrusion detection, and providing new insights to an audience of students, teachers, and entry-level researchers working in computational intelligence, information security, and security engineering.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Biologically-Based Cryptosystems
  • Biometric Authentication
  • Chaos-Based Cryptosystems
  • Computational Intelligence
  • Cryptography
  • Digital Signatures
  • Digital Watermarking
  • Image Communication and Storage
Reviews & Statements

Editors Awad, El-Alfy, and Al-Bastaki present students, academics, researchers, and professionals working in a variety of contexts with a collection of academic papers and scholarly articles focused on the enhancement of information security through computational intelligence. The editors have organized the ten contributions that make up the main body of the text in five parts devoted to applications of evolutionary computation in cryptology, intelligent intrusion detection, authentication, multimedia security, and a wide variety of other related subjects.

It's a good reminder to look on the security side of information management as it represents current and future challenges for developers and end-users. The proposed algorithm in chapter 3 (GADS) was very clear and none of the articles I have read on similar subjects were as relevant as those presented in this title.
