In the era of Internet of Things (IoT) and with the explosive worldwide growth of electronic data volume, and associated need of processing, analysis, and storage of such humongous volume of data, several new challenges are faced in protecting privacy of sensitive data and securing systems by designing novel schemes for secure authentication, integrity protection, encryption, and non-repudiation. Lightweight symmetric key cryptography and adaptive network security algorithms are in demand for mitigating these challenges. This book presents some of the state-of-the-art research work in the field of cryptography and security in computing and communications. It is a valuable source of knowledge for researchers, engineers, practitioners, graduates, and doctoral students who are working in the field of cryptography, network security, and security and privacy issues in the Internet of Things (IoT). It will also be useful for faculty members of graduate schools and universities.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Security of Information and Communication Networks, Sec Net 2013, held in Cairo, Egypt, in September 2013. The 21 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on networking security; data and information security; authentication and privacy; security applications.

This book is the ninth in a series presenting research papers arising from MSc/MRes research projects undertaken by students of the School of Computing and Mathematics at Plymouth University. The publications in this volume are based upon research projects that were undertaken during the 2010/11 academic year. A total of 24 papers are presented, covering many aspects of modern networking and communication technology, including security, mobility, coding schemes and quality measurement. The expanded topic coverage compared to earlier volumes in this series reflects the broadening of our range of MSc programmes. Specifically contributing programmes are: Communications Engineering and Signal Processing, Computer and Information Security, Computer Science, Computing, Network Systems Engineering, and Robotics.

This was the first conference organized by the school of Computer Science Engineering in VIT-AP University campus with the cumulative efforts of all the faculty members. The proceedings discusses recent advancements and novel ideas in areas of interest. It covers topics such as advances in computer based systems, processes and applications

The book provides insights of International Conference in Communication, Devices and Networking (ICCDN 2017) organized by the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology, Sikkim, India during 3 – 4 June, 2017. The book discusses latest research papers presented by researchers, engineers, academicians and industry professionals. It also assists both novice and experienced scientists and developers, to explore newer scopes, collect new ideas and establish new cooperation between research groups and exchange ideas, information, techniques and applications in the field of electronics, communication, devices and networking.
