We have root : even more advice from Schneier on security
\"We Have Root is the latest collection of essays by security and privacy expert Bruce Schneier. He explores a wide range of cybersecurity, privacy, and real-world security issues that are as current as today's headlines. Written in clear and understandable terms, his essays explore the ever-expanding role of technology in national security, war, transportation, the Internet of Things, elections, and more. Rather than addressing technology experts. Schneier directs his writings to leaders, voters, and consumers. He challenges non-technical readers to question the status quo to make better security decisions and investments. As the internet and other technologies have become commonplace and fundamental to society, it is necessary to understand how these work and how they affect our everyday world. Today, social media is essential to public discourse. The web is vital for commerce. Even more critically, the Internet now affects the world in a direct and physical manner. In the near future, the Internet will enable pervasive surveillance at unprecedented levels. The book's essays originally appeared in numerous publications, including the Atlantic, the Wall Street Journal, CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Wired, and others.\"-- Back cover.

International relations in the cyber age : the co-evolution dilemma
\"International relations in the 21st century is starkly different than in previous centuries, and the diference is cyberspace. The network is shaping international relations and in turn being shaped by the concerns and challenges associated with it. This book offfers a unique and foundational analysis of the co-evolution of cyberspace and international relations and the variety of challenges that arise for individuals, organizations, and states. The truly intriguing alliance here is of two eminent scholars, Choucri and Clark -- one an expert on the theory of international relations, and the other an architect of the internet who brings deep technical, design, and structural insights to the analysis\"-- Provided by publisher.

Net privacy : how we can be free in an age of surveillance
In our digital world, we are confused by privacy - what is public, what is private? We are also challenged by it, the conditions of privacy so uncertain we become unsure about our rights to it. We may choose to share personal information, but often do so on the assumption that it won't be re-shared, sold, or passed on to other parties without our knowing. This important and lively book draws on a Kantian philosophy of ethics and legal frameworks to examine where we are and to suggest steps - conceptual and practical - to ensure the future is not dystopian.

Distributed Systems Security
How to solve security issues and problems arising in distributed systems. Security is one of the leading concerns in developing dependable distributed systems of today, since the integration of different components in a distributed manner creates new security problems and issues. Service oriented architectures, the Web, grid computing and virtualization – form the backbone of today’s distributed systems. A lens to security issues in distributed systems is best provided via deeper exploration of security concerns and solutions in these technologies. Distributed Systems Security provides a holistic insight into current security issues, processes, and solutions, and maps out future directions in the context of today’s distributed systems. This insight is elucidated by modeling of modern day distributed systems using a four-tier logical model –host layer, infrastructure layer, application layer, and service layer (bottom to top). The authors provide an in-depth coverage of security threats and issues across these tiers. Additionally the authors describe the approaches required for efficient security engineering, alongside exploring how existing solutions can be leveraged or enhanced to proactively meet the dynamic needs of security for the next-generation distributed systems. The practical issues thereof are reinforced via practical case studies. Distributed Systems Security: •Presents an overview of distributed systems security issues, including threats, trends, standards and solutions. •Discusses threats and vulnerabilities in different layers namely the host, infrastructure, application, and service layer to provide a holistic and practical, contemporary view of enterprise architectures. •Provides practical insights into developing current-day distributed systems security using realistic case studies. This book will be of invaluable interest to software engineers, developers, network professionals and technical/enterprise architects working in the field of distributed systems security. Managers and CIOs, researchers and advanced students will also find this book insightful.
