Book Description
The chapters in this open access book arise out of the EU Cost Action project Cryptacus, the objective of which was to improve and adapt existent cryptanalysis methodologies and tools to the ubiquitous computing framework. The cryptanalysis implemented lies along four axes: cryptographic models, cryptanalysis of building blocks, hardware and software security engineering, and security assessment of real-world systems. The authors are top-class researchers in security and cryptography, and the contributions are of value to researchers and practitioners in these domains. This book is open access under a CC BY license.

Book Description
Privacy, Security and Trust within the Context of Pervasive Computing is an edited volume based on a post workshop at the second international conference on Pervasive Computing. The workshop was held April18-23, 2004, in Vienna, Austria. The goal of the workshop was not to focus on specific, even novel mechanisms, but rather on the interfaces between mechanisms in different technical and social problem spaces. An investigation of the interfaces between the notions of context, privacy, security, and trust will result in a deeper understanding of the "atomic" problems, leading to a more complete understanding of the social and technical issues in pervasive computing.

Book Description
It is easy to imagine that a future populated with an ever-increasing number of mobile and pervasive devices that record our minute goings and doings will significantly expand the amount of information that will be collected, stored, processed, and shared about us by both corporations and governments. The vast majority of this data is likely to benefit us greatly—making our lives more convenient, efficient, and safer through custom-tailored and context-aware services that anticipate what we need, where we need it, and when we need it. But beneath all this convenience, efficiency, and safety lurks the risk of losing control and awareness of what is known about us in the many different contexts of our lives. Eventually, we may find ourselves in a situation where something we said or did will be misinterpreted and held against us, even if the activities were perfectly innocuous at the time. Even more concerning, privacy implications rarely manifest as an explicit, tangible harm. Instead, most privacy harms manifest as an absence of opportunity, which may go unnoticed even though it may substantially impact our lives. In this Synthesis Lecture, we dissect and discuss the privacy implications of mobile and pervasive computing technology. For this purpose, we not only look at how mobile and pervasive computing technology affects our expectations of—and ability to enjoy—privacy, but also look at what constitutes "privacy" in the first place, and why we should care about maintaining it. We describe key characteristics of mobile and pervasive computing technology and how those characteristics lead to privacy implications. We discuss seven approaches that can help support end-user privacy in the design of mobile and pervasive computing technologies, and set forward six challenges that will need to be addressed by future research. The prime target audience of this lecture are researchers and practitioners working in mobile and pervasive computing who want to better understand and account for the nuanced privacy implications of the technologies they are creating. Those new to either mobile and pervasive computing or privacy may also benefit from reading this book to gain an overview and deeper understanding of this highly interdisciplinary and dynamic field.

Book Description
This book extends the work from introduction of ubiquitous computing, to the Internet of things to security and to privacy aspects of ubiquitous computing. The uniqueness of this book is the combination of important fields like the Internet of things and ubiquitous computing. It assumes that the readers’ goal is to achieve a complete understanding of IoT, smart computing, security issues, challenges and possible solutions. It is not oriented towards any specific use cases and security issues; privacy threats in ubiquitous computing problems are discussed across various domains. This book is motivating to address privacy threats in new inventions for a wide range of stakeholders like layman to educated users, villages to metros and national to global levels. This book contains numerous examples, case studies, technical descriptions, scenarios, procedures, algorithms and protocols. The main endeavour of this book is threat analysis and activity modelling of attacks in order to give an actual view of the ubiquitous computing applications. The unique approach will help readers for a better understanding.

Book Description
The concept of ubiquitous computing is used in computer science, software engineering and hardware engineering for computing which can take place in any format, any device and at any location, unlike desktop computing. The traditional view of computing systems has been irreversibly changed by the recent technical developments in hardware and software. They not only contain linked servers but also include a wide variety of embedded and pervasive devices, which lead to the development of ubiquitous computing systems. Cryptanalysis methodologies and tools are used to enhance the security of the ubiquitous computing environment, by providing protection and controlling access to data. Cryptanalysis is the process of examining information systems for understanding hidden aspects of the systems. It involves the study of theoretical and practical cryptographic mechanisms intended to provide privacy and security. This book unravels the recent studies on ubiquitous computing. It will elucidate the concepts and innovative models around security issues and threats in ubiquitous computing systems. The book will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid changes in this field.

Book Description
Even in the age of ubiquitous computing, the importance of the Internet will not change and we still need to solve conventional security issues. In addition, we need to deal with new issues such as security in the P2P environment, privacy issues in the use of smart cards, and RFID systems. Security and Privacy in the Age of Ubiquitous Computing addresses these issues and more by exploring a wide scope of topics. The volume presents a selection of papers from the proceedings of the 20th IFIP International Information Security Conference held from May 30 to June 1, 2005 in Chiba, Japan. Topics covered include cryptography applications, authentication, privacy and anonymity, DRM and content security, computer forensics, Internet and web security, security in sensor networks, intrusion detection, commercial and industrial security, authorization and access control, information warfare and critical protection infrastructure. These papers represent the most current research in information security, including research funded in part by DARPA and the National Science Foundation.
