Group Testing Theory in Network Security explores a new branch of group testing theory with an application which enhances research results in network security. This brief presents new solutions on several advanced network security problems and mathematical frameworks based on the group testing theory, specifically denial-of-service and jamming attacks. A new application of group testing, illustrated in this text, requires additional theories, such as size constraint group testing and connected group testing. Included in this text is a chapter devoted to discussing open problems and suggesting new solutions for various network security problems. This text also exemplifies the connection between mathematical approaches and practical applications to group testing theory in network security. This work will appeal to a multidisciplinary audience with interests in computer communication networks, optimization, and engineering.

This book focuses on the design of secure and efficient signature and signcryption schemes for vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). We use methods such as public key cryptography (PKI), identity-based cryptography (IDC), and certificateless cryptography (CLC) to design bilinear pairing and elliptic curve cryptography-based signature and signcryption schemes and prove their security in the random oracle model. The signature schemes ensure the authenticity of source and integrity of a safety message. While signcryption schemes ensure authentication and confidentiality of the safety message in a single logical step. To provide readers to study the schemes that securely and efficiently process a message and multiple messages in vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communications is the main benefit of this book. In addition, it can benefit researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of security and privacy of VANETs, Internet of vehicles securty, wireless body area networks security, etc.

The 3rd International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security (ACNS 2005) was sponsored and organized by ICISA (the International Commu- cations and Information Security Association). It was held at Columbia University in New York, USA, June 7–10, 2005. This conference proceedings volume contains papers presented in the academic/research track. ACNS covers a large number of research areas that have been gaining importance in recent years due to the development of the Internet, wireless communication and the increased global exposure of computing resources. The papers in this volume are representative of the state of the art in security and cryptography research, worldwide. The Program Committee of the conference received a total of 158 submissions from all over the world, of which 35 submissions were selected for presentation at the a- demic track. In addition to this track, the conference also hosted a technical/ industrial/ short papers track whose presentations were also carefully selected from among the submissions. All submissions were reviewed by experts in the relevant areas.

Research Methods for Cyber Security teaches scientific methods for generating impactful knowledge, validating theories, and adding critical rigor to the cyber security field. This book shows how to develop a research plan, beginning by starting research with a question, then offers an introduction to the broad range of useful research methods for cyber security research: observational, mathematical, experimental, and applied. Each research method chapter concludes with recommended outlines and suggested templates for submission to peer reviewed venues. This book concludes with information on cross-cutting issues within cyber security research. Cyber security research contends with numerous unique issues, such as an extremely fast environment evolution, adversarial behavior, and the merging of natural and social science phenomena. Research Methods for Cyber Security addresses these concerns and much more by teaching readers not only the process of science in the context of cyber security research, but providing assistance in execution of research as well. - Presents research methods from a cyber security science perspective - Catalyzes the rigorous research necessary to propel the cyber security field forward - Provides a guided method selection for the type of research being conducted, presented in the context of real-world usage
