Description
Technological advances, although beneficial and progressive, can lead to vulnerabilities in system networks and security. While researchers attempt to find solutions, negative uses of technology continue to create new security threats to users.
New Threats and Countermeasures in Digital Crime and Cyber Terrorism brings together research-based chapters and case studies on security techniques and current methods being used to identify and overcome technological vulnerabilities with an emphasis on security issues in mobile computing and online activities. This book is an essential reference source for researchers, university academics, computing professionals, and upper-level students interested in the techniques, laws, and training initiatives currently being implemented and adapted for secure computing.
Reviews and Testimonials
Exploring various aspects of cyber terrorism, and cyber crime in today's society, scholars of computer science and information technology specializing in computer security provide insights into the negative uses of technology and review associated vulnerabilities and mitigation. Among their topics are the case for cyber-security-hardened mobile systems, a comparative survey of methods and techniques to provide security in wireless ad hoc networks, managing trust to enhance quality of service in mobile ad hoc networks, identifying the author's native language for the forensic analysis of weblog authorship, and the innovation and promise of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics)-oriented cybersecurity charter schools in urban minority communities in the US as a tool to create a critical business workforce.
