Visual Cryptography and Secret Image Sharing

Book Description:

With rapid progress in Internet and digital imaging technology, there are more and more ways to easily create, publish, and distribute images. Considered the first book to focus on the relationship between digital imaging and privacy protection, Visual Cryptography and Secret Image Sharing is a complete introduction to novel security methods and sharing-control mechanisms used to protect against unauthorized data access and secure dissemination of sensitive information.

Image data protection and image-based authentication techniques offer efficient solutions for controlling how private data and images are made available only to select people. Essential to the design of systems used to manage images that contain sensitive data—such as medical records, financial transactions, and electronic voting systems—the methods presented in this book are useful to counter traditional encryption techniques, which do not scale well and are less efficient when applied directly to image files.

An exploration of the most prominent topics in digital imaging security, this book discusses:

Potential for sharing multiple secrets
Visual cryptography schemes—based either on the probabilistic reconstruction of the secret image, or on different logical operations for combining shared images
Inclusion of pictures in the distributed shares
Contrast enhancement techniques
Color-image visual cryptography
Cheating prevention
Alignment problems for image shares
Steganography and authentication
In the continually evolving world of secure image sharing, a growing number of people are becoming involved as new applications and business models are being developed all the time. This contributed volume gives academicians, researchers, and professionals the insight of well-known experts on key concepts, issues, trends, and technologies in this emerging field.

Enterprise Cybersecurity

Book Description:

Enterprise Cybersecurity empowers organizations of all sizes to defend themselves with next-generation cybersecurity programs against the escalating threat of modern targeted cyberattacks. This book presents a comprehensive framework for managing all aspects of an enterprise cybersecurity program. It enables an enterprise to architect, design, implement, and operate a coherent cybersecurity program that is seamlessly coordinated with policy, programmatics, IT life cycle, and assessment.

Fail-safe cyberdefense is a pipe dream. Given sufficient time, an intelligent attacker can eventually defeat defensive measures protecting an enterprise’s computer systems and IT networks.

To prevail, an enterprise cybersecurity program must manage risk by detecting attacks early enough and delaying them long enough that the defenders have time to respond effectively. Enterprise Cybersecurity shows players at all levels of responsibility how to unify their organization’s people, budgets, technologies, and processes into a cost-efficient cybersecurity program capable of countering advanced cyberattacks and containing damage in the event of a breach.

The authors of Enterprise Cybersecurity explain at both strategic and tactical levels how to accomplish the mission of leading, designing, deploying, operating, managing, and supporting cybersecurity capabilities in an enterprise environment. The authors are recognized experts and thought leaders in this rapidly evolving field, drawing on decades of collective experience in cybersecurity and IT. In capacities ranging from executive strategist to systems architect to cybercombatant, Scott E. Donaldson, Stanley G. Siegel, Chris K. Williams, and Abdul Aslam have fought on the front lines of cybersecurity against advanced persistent threats to government, military, and business entities.

Ebook's - Google Hacking Pack

Google Hacking

Google hacking involves using advanced operators in the Google search engine to locate specific strings of text within search results. Some of the more popular examples are finding specific versions of vulnerable Web applications. The following search query would locate all web pages that have that particular text contained within them. It is normal for default installations of applications to include their running version in every page they serve, for example, "Powered by XOOPS 2.2.3 Final".

Indústria Farmacêutica Illuminati - Zika vírus

Junto com outros vírus da família, o vírus da zica é envelopado e icosaedral com um genoma RNA não segmentado, de cadeia simples e senso positivo. É mais próximo ao vírus Spondweni e é um dos dois vírus do clado do Spondweni.  O vírus foi isolado pela primeira vez em 1947 de um macaco-reso (Macaca mulatta) na floresta de Zika na República de Uganda, África, e foi isolado pela primeira vez em humanos em 1968, na Nigéria. De 1951 a 1981, evidências de infecção humana foram reportadas em outras nações africanas como Uganda, Tanzânia, Egito, República Centro-Africana, Serra Leoa e Gabão, assim como em partes da Ásia incluindo Índia, Malásia, Filipinas, Tailândia, Vietnã e Indonésia.  É transmitida por mosquitos e foi isolado de um número de espécies do gênero Aedes - Aedes aegypti, Aedes africanus, Aedes apicoargenteus, Aedes furcifer, Aedes luteocephalus e Aedes vitattus. Estudos mostram que o período de incubação extrínseca em mosquitos é de cerca de 10 dias. Os hospedeiros vertebrados do vírus incluem macacos e humanos.

Windows Malware Analysis Essentials

Book Description:

Windows OS is the most used operating system in the world and hence is targeted by malware writers. There are strong ramifications if things go awry. Things will go wrong if they can, and hence we see a salvo of attacks that have continued to disrupt the normal scheme of things in our day to day lives. This book will guide you on how to use essential tools such as debuggers, disassemblers, and sandboxes to dissect malware samples. It will expose your innards and then build a report of their indicators of compromise along with detection rule sets that will enable you to help contain the outbreak when faced with such a situation.

We will start with the basics of computing fundamentals such as number systems and Boolean algebra. Further, you’ll learn about x86 assembly programming and its integration with high level languages such as C++.You’ll understand how to decipher disassembly code obtained from the compiled source code and map it back to its original design goals.
