16th Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC '00)


Book Description

Annotation Forty-four papers from the December 2000 conference address challenges in the field of information security. The main areas of discussion are intrusion detection, security policy, public key infrastructure, access control, security architecture, e-commerce, and cryptography. Topics include extending Java for package-based access control, policy mediation for multi-enterprise environments, binding identities and attributes using digitally signed certificates, using operating system wrappers to increase the resiliency to commercial firewalls, calculating costs for quality of security service, and the Chinese Remainder Theorem and its application in a high-speed RSA crypto chip.

Software Security -- Theories and Systems


Book Description

For more than the last three decades, the security of software systems has been an important area of computer science, yet it is a rather recent general recognition that technologies for software security are highly needed. This book assesses the state of the art in software and systems security by presenting a carefully arranged selection of revised invited and reviewed papers. It covers basic aspects and recently developed topics such as security of pervasive computing, peer-to-peer systems and autonomous distributed agents, secure software circulation, compilers for fail-safe C language, construction of secure mail systems, type systems and multiset rewriting systems for security protocols, and privacy issues as well.




Theoretical Computer Science


Book Description

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th Italian Conference on Theoretical Computer Science, ICTCS 2003, held in Bertinoro, Italy in October 2003. The 27 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper and abstracts of 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 65 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on program design-models and analysis, algorithms and complexity, semantics and formal languages, and security and cryptography.
