Security and Privacy in the Digital Era

Written by a team of experts at the forefront of the cyber-physical systems (CPS) revolution, this book provides an in-depth look at security and privacy, two of the most critical challenges facing both the CPS research and development community and ICT professionals. It explores, in depth, the key technical, social, and legal issues at stake, and it provides readers with the information they need to advance research and development in this exciting area. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are engineered systems that are built from, and depend upon the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components. Advances in CPS will enable capability, adaptability, scalability, resiliency, safety, security, and usability far in excess of what today’s simple embedded systems can provide. Just as the Internet revolutionized the way we interact with information, CPS technology has already begun to transform the way people interact with engineered systems. In the years ahead, smart CPS will drive innovation and competition across industry sectors, from agriculture, energy, and transportation, to architecture, healthcare, and manufacturing. A priceless source of practical information and inspiration, Security and Privacy in Cyber-Physical Systems: Foundations, Principles and Applications is certain to have a profound impact on ongoing R&D and education at the confluence of security, privacy, and CPS.

The scope of Security Issues, Privacy Concerns in Industry 4.0 Applications is to envision the need for security in Industry 4.0 applications and the research opportunities for the future. This book discusses the security issues in the Industry 4.0 applications for research development. It will also enable the reader to develop solutions for the security threats and attacks that prevail in the industry. The chapters will be framed on par with advancements in the industry in the area of Industry 4.0 with its applications in additive manufacturing, cloud computing, IoT (Internet of Things), and many others. This book helps a researcher and an industrial specialist to reflect on the latest trend and the need for technological change in Industry 4.0. Smart water management using IoT, cloud security issues with network forensics, regional language recognition for industry 4.0, IoT based health care management system, artificial intelligence for fake profile detection, and packet drop detection in agriculture-based IoT are covered in this outstanding new volume. Leading innovations such as smart drone for railway track cleaning, everyday life-supporting blockchain and big data, effective prediction using machine learning, classification of the dog breed based on CNN, load balancing using the SPE approach and cyber culture impact on media consumers are also addressed. Whether a reference for the veteran engineer or an introduction to the technologies covered in the book for the student, this is a must-have for any library.

This book is a complete, single information source of techniques for complex security and privacy issues in vehicular ad hoc networks Take a cooperative approach towards addressing the technology’s challenges of security and privacy issues Explores interdisciplinary methods by combining social science, cryptography, and privacy enhancing technique Richly illustrated with detailed designs and results for all approaches used Introduces standardization and industry activities, and government regulation in secure vehicular networking

Provides an up-to-date, in-depth look at the current research, design, and implementation of cooperative vehicle safety communication protocols and technology Improving traffic safety has been a top concern for transportation agencies around the world and the focus of heavy research and development efforts sponsored by both governments and private industries. Cooperative vehicle systems—which use sensors and wireless technologies to reduce traffic accidents—can play a major role in making the world's roads safer. Vehicle Safety Communications: Protocols, Security, and Privacy describes fundamental issues in cooperative vehicle safety and recent advances in technologies for enabling cooperative vehicle safety. It gives an overview of traditional vehicle safety issues, the evolution of vehicle safety technologies, and the need for cooperative systems where vehicles work together to reduce the number of crashes or mitigate damage when crashes become unavoidable. Authored by two top industry professionals, the book: Summarizes the history and current status of 5.9 GHz Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) technology and standardization, discussing key issues in applying DSRC to support cooperative vehicle safety Features an in-depth overview of on-board equipment (OBE) and roadside equipment (RSE) by describing sample designs to illustrate the key issues and potential solutions Takes on security and privacy protection requirements and challenges, including how to design privacy-preserving digital certificate management systems and how to evict misbehaving vehicles Includes coverage of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications like intersection collision avoidance applications and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications like extended electronic brake lights and intersection movement assist Vehicle Safety Communications is ideal for anyone working in the areas of—or studying—cooperative vehicle safety and vehicle communications.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has contributed greatly to the growth of data traffic on the Internet. Access technologies and object constraints associated with the IoT can cause performance and security problems. This relates to important challenges such as the control of radio communications and network access, the management of service quality and energy consumption, and the implementation of security mechanisms dedicated to the IoT.

In response to these issues, this book presents new solutions for the management and control of performance and security in the IoT. The originality of these proposals lies mainly in the use of intelligent techniques. This notion of intelligence allows, among other things, the support of object heterogeneity and limited capacities as well as the vast dynamics characterizing the IoT.

For 200 years, industry mastered iron, fire, strength and energy. Today, electronics shapes our everyday objects, integrating chips: computers, phones, keys, games, household appliances, etc. Data, software and calculation frame the conduct of humankind, and everything is translated into data. The first volume in this series analyzes the stakes of the massive data which accumulate on the Internet, keeping track of our actions and gestures, the state of the world and our knowledge.
