Regulating cyber matters is a complex task, as cyberspace is an intricate world full of new threats related to a person's identity, finance, and private information. Algorithm manipulation, hate crimes, cyber-laundering, and data theft are strong menaces in the cyber world. New technologies are generating both privacy and security issues involving anonymity, cross-border transactions, virtual communications, and assets, among others. This book is a collection of works by experts on cyber matters and legal considerations that need addressing in a timely manner. It comprises cross-disciplinary knowledge that is pooled to this end. Risk mitigation tools, including cyber risk management, data protection regulations, as well as ethical practice guidelines are reviewed in detail. A (Distributed) Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) attack aims to compromise the operation of specific Internet-facing services. One of the most common types of DDoS attacks is the packet flood, whereby an inordinate number of packets are sent to the target system with the goal of consuming all open connections and overloading network usage, leading to the crippling or cessation of services running on that system.

Follow FC as he steals from the world's most secure banks and government facilities—without breaking a single law. In How I Rob Banks: And Other Such Places, renowned ethical hacker and social engineer FC delivers a gripping and often hilarious discussion of his work: testing the limits of physical bank security by trying to "steal" money, data, and anything else he can get his hands on. In the book, you'll explore the secretive world of physical assessments and follow FC as he breaks into banks and secure government locations to identify security flaws and loopholes. Social engineering is the manipulation of people and situations to gain access or information that otherwise is not available to you. Social engineering can sometimes be used to bypass physical security - mechanisms in place to prevent access by unauthorized people - but not always. Organizations pay me to test their security. I use a combination of social engineering and physical attacks to do so. The security I test might be the locks on their doors, the security guards and receptionists, or their computer networks. A can't-miss account of real-life security exploits perfect for infosec pros, including red and blue teamers, pentesters, CIOs, CISSPs, and social engineers, How I Rob Banks also belongs in the hands of anyone who loves a great Ocean's 11-style story pulled straight from the real world.

This book presents state-of-the-art blockchain and AI advances in health care. Healthcare service is increasingly creating the scope for blockchain and AI applications to enter the biomedical and healthcare world. Today, blockchain, AI, ML, and deep learning are affecting every domain. Through its cutting-edge applications, AI and ML are helping transform the healthcare industry for the better. Blockchain is a decentralization communication platform that has the potential to decentralize the way we store data and manage information. Blockchain technology has potential to reduce the role of middleman, one of the most important regulatory actors in our society. Transactions are simultaneously secure and trustworthy due to the use of cryptographic principles. In recent years, blockchain technology has become very trendy and has penetrated different domains, mostly due to the popularity of cryptocurrencies. One field where blockchain technology has tremendous potential is health care, due to the need for a more patient-centric approach in healthcare systems to connect disparate systems and to increase the accuracy of electronic healthcare records (EHRs). In today’s scenario, humankind has entered the domain of the Industrial revolution requirements with advanced tools and techniques. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in the simulation of human intelligence to process, especially in computing systems. The performance of AI has various applications to apply in expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition, machine vision, and more.

In recent years, smart devices have become commonplace in our daily lives. On the Internet of Things (IoT), these devices powered new intelligent services. Their application enabled the rise of intelligent cities, smart agriculture, and Industry 4.0. However, smart devices collect and share large amounts of data, including the habits and preferences of their users. Cybersecurity incidents in intelligent environments may impact services used by millions across the world and make private information public. Information Security and Privacy in Smart Devices: Tools, Methods, and Applications presents research challenges, innovative insights, and trends related to solutions, methods, processes, and applications for maintaining information security and privacy in intelligent environments.

Blockchain technology provided a buzz-seeking opportunity for all industries to implement improved corporate procedures and trust-building. Still, some industries, such as the banking sector, may view it as a disruptive technology that must be adopted. A transaction ledger's contents can be verified, maintained, and synchronized by community members using blockchain technology. A transaction can never be changed or removed from the blockchain; updates may only be made by participants in the system. Its distributed database cannot be manipulated, disrupted, or hacked in the same manner as conventional, user-controlled access systems and centralized databases. Building Secure Business Models Through Blockchain Technology: Tactics, Methods, Limitations, and Performance studies and explores the status of blockchain technology and, through the latest technology, builds business models to secure the future direction in the field of business. This book discusses the tactics and methods, as well as their limitations and performance. Since we need to classify images, we use a Convolutional Neural Network, which is a common choice for this problem. Tensor Flow library is used to write the code in Python.

Distributed Computing to Blockchain: Architecture, Technology, and Applications provides researchers, computer scientists, and data scientists with a comprehensive and applied reference covering the evolution of distributed systems computing into blockchain and associated systems. Divided into three major sections, the book explores the basic topics in the blockchain space extending from distributed systems architecture, distributed ledger, decentralized web to introductory aspects of cryptoeconomics (cryptography and economics) of decentralized applications. The book further explores advanced concepts such as smart contracts; distributed token mining, initial coin offerings; proof of work; public, private, and other blockchains; cryptography; security; and blockchains. The book goes on to review byzantine fault tolerance, distributed ledgers versus blockchains, and blockchain protocols. The final section covers multiple use cases and applications of distributed computing and the future directions for blockchains.
