12% of people hold crypto assets, including your clients and suppliers. How can you manage the risks and reap the benefits of this new technology? Your clients, suppliers or employees may be among the one in eight adults worldwide who hold crypto assets. How can you ensure that crypto transactions are properly accounted for, legally and safely managed, and used to benefit your business? This book is a gateway to the language and applications of crypto and blockchain. It guides you through the opportunities for business improvement and the risks that need to be managed for corporations and private clients, including signposts to relevant legislation, regulation and security considerations. It helps you to make sense of the distinct properties of crypto assets and understand where they can be transformational and where they really aren’t needed, for more effective strategic decision making. Blockchain security relies upon cryptographic techniques, particularly the ability to produce unique hashes to summarise large amounts of data. Hashing is the process of assigning a numeric or alphanumeric string to a piece of data. The same technology lies behind end-to-end encrypted messaging systems, although there are many different encryption methods in use in blockchain applications to maximise security of the chains and the assets they hold. You can experiment with hashing using free online tools to generate SHA-256 (256-bit encryption) hashes for words and phrases, or even entire books, invoices, certificates and transaction records. Quantum computing may threaten current encryption methods as early as 2030, and work has been underway for more than a decade to develop quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms. This means that data we encrypt now could be read in the future – so be careful about exactly what is recorded on-chain.

In the present technological age, information is a valuable resource for both small and large enterprises as well as for our daily lives. The key enablers that link computer resources and devices together to gather, process, and distribute crucial data both locally and worldwide are network technologies. For our daily lives and commercial operations, network technologies offer effective, adaptable, and seamless communication while maximizing productivity and resources. Due to its significance, this field has undergone a significant evolution in the past few decades, moving away from traditional wired networks and toward Bluetooth, infrared, microwave, radio, and satellite networks. These days, network technologies are not employed only in computer labs, businesses, or homes; a wide range of domains, such as vehicular ad hoc networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and the Internet of Things, have been seen using network technologies. Researchers from academia and industry have worked hard to build and develop software-based network technologies, such as middleware, protocol stacks, and network software architectures, in addition to hardware-based and physical network technologies. The paradigm shift in this field is being driven primarily by software-based network technologies, which have also given rise to numerous new network innovations, including grid computing, cloud computing, fog computing, edge computing, software-defined networks, and content-centric networks. Significant efforts have been made in cellular network technologies to boost the user experience, and as a result, new cellular network technologies, including LTE, VoLTE, and 5G, have also been developed. This book will present the most recent and leading research in the field of network technologies in order to achieve solutions for various problems that exist in this domain.

Many cloud computing initiatives flat-out fail; others limp along, functioning tolerably without ever delivering what they promised. An Insider’s Guide to Cloud Computing reveals why, and shows how to do better. Cloud pioneer and long-time CTO David Linthicum explodes the industry’s secrets, and presents practical ways to optimize cloud for value and performance. This book reveals many secrets in the cloud computing, as well as the secrets that swirl around the hidden values of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, containers, no-code, and serverless computing. There is information about what works, what doesn’t, and how to pick your best resources for migration or net-new cloud-based application development. Finally, and most important, this book reveals why some workloads and data sets don’t belong in the cloud…for now. We also review the true value of cloud computing in general.

The first-ever introduction to the full range of cybersecurity challenges. Cybersecurity is crucial for preserving freedom in a connected world. Securing customer and business data, preventing election interference and the spread of disinformation, and understanding the vulnerabilities of key infrastructural systems are just a few of the areas in which cybersecurity professionals are indispensable. This textbook provides a comprehensive, student-oriented introduction to this capacious, interdisciplinary subject. Cybersecurity in Context covers both the policy and practical dimensions of the field. Beginning with an introduction to cybersecurity and its major challenges, it proceeds to discuss the key technologies which have brought cybersecurity to the fore, its theoretical and methodological frameworks and the legal and enforcement dimensions of the subject. The result is a cutting-edge guide to all key aspects of one of this century’s most important fields. Because cybersecurity changes so rapidly, we have attempted to set down the basics here. The textbook sets up instructors to discuss the controversies of the day in the classroom. Our goal is to explain both the technological realities of the Internet and how those realities interact with cybersecurity policy and regulation. Cybersecurity in Context is ideal for students in introductory cybersecurity classes, and for IT professionals looking to ground themselves in this essential field.
