There are few more important issues currently doing the rounds than data security. That’s what makes this 290-page book so crucial to researchers and professionals in the area. It’s nothing less than the refereed proceedings of the 21st Annual Working Conference on Data and Applications Security held in Redondo Beach, CA, USA in July 2007. The book features 18 fully revised papers covering everything from secure query evaluation to temporal access control.

The development of mobile technology has experienced exponential growth in recent years. Mobile devices are ubiquitous in modern society, impacting both our personal and professional lives. Mobile Application Development, Usability, and Security provides a thorough overview on the different facets of mobile technology management and its integration into modern society. Highlighting issues related to analytics, cloud computing, and different types of application development, this book is a pivotal reference source for professionals, researchers, upper-level students, and practitioners actively involved in the area of mobile computing.

Learn to combine security theory and code to produce secure systems Security is clearly a crucial issue to consider during the design and implementation of any distributed software architecture. Security patterns are increasingly being used by developers who take security into serious consideration from the creation of their work. Written by the authority on security patterns, this unique book examines the structure and purpose of security patterns, illustrating their use with the help of detailed implementation advice, numerous code samples, and descriptions in UML. Provides an extensive, up-to-date catalog of security patterns Shares real-world case studies so you can see when and how to use security patterns in practice Details how to incorporate security from the conceptual stage Highlights tips on authentication, authorization, role-based access control, firewalls, wireless networks, middleware, VoIP, web services security, and more Author is well known and highly respected in the field of security and an expert on security patterns Security Patterns in Practice shows you how to confidently develop a secure system step by step.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 35th Annual IFIP WG 11.3 Conference on Data and Applications Security and Privacy, DBSec 2021, held in Calgary, Canada, in July 2021.* The 15 full papers and 8 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The papers present high-quality original research from academia, industry, and government on theoretical and practical aspects of information security. They are organized in topical sections named differential privacy, cryptology, machine learning, access control and others. *The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The availability of geographic and geospatial information and services, especially on the open Web has become abundant in the last several years with the proliferation of online maps, geo-coding services, geospatial Web services and geospatially enabled applications. The need for geospatial reasoning has significantly increased in many everyday applications including personal digital assistants, Web search applications, local aware mobile services, specialized systems for emergency response, medical triaging, intelligence analysis and more. Geospatial Semantics and the Semantic Web: Foundations, Algorithms, and Applications, an edited volume contributed by world class leaders in this field, provides recent research in the theme of geospatial semantics. This edited volume presents new information systems applications that have potential for high impact and commercialization. Also, special effort was made by the contributors to focus on geospatial ontology development, related standards, geospatial ontology alignment and integration, and algorithmic techniques for geospatial semantics. Case studies and examples will be provided throughout this book as well as possibilities for future research.

New technology is always evolving and companies must have appropriate security for their businesses to be able to keep up to date with the changes. With the rapid growth of the internet and the world wide web, data and applications security will always be a key topic in industry as well as in the public sector, and has implications for the whole of society. Data and Applications Security covers issues related to security and privacy of information in a wide range of applications, including: Electronic Commerce, XML and Web Security; Workflow Security and Role-based Access Control; Distributed Objects and Component Security; Inference Problem, Data Mining and Intrusion Detection; Language and SQL Security; Security Architectures and Frameworks; Federated and Distributed Systems Security; Encryption, Authentication and Security Policies. This book contains papers and panel discussions from the Fourteenth Annual Working Conference on Database Security, which is part of the Database Security: Status and Prospects conference series sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). The conference was held in Schoorl, The Netherlands in August 2000.
