Security and privacy are paramount concerns in information processing
systems, which are vital to business, government and military operations
and, indeed, society itself. Meanwhile, the expansion of the Internet
and its convergence with telecommunication networks are providing
incredible connectivity, myriad applications and, of course, new
threats.
Data and Applications Security XVII: Status and Prospects describes
original research results, practical experiences and innovative ideas,
all focused on maintaining security and privacy in information
processing systems and applications that pervade cyberspace. The areas
of coverage include:
-Information Warfare,
-Information Assurance,
-Security and Privacy,
-Authorization and Access Control in Distributed Systems,
-Security Technologies for the Internet,
-Access Control Models and Technologies,
-Digital Forensics.
This book is the seventeenth volume in the series produced by the
International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group
11.3 on Data and Applications Security. It presents a selection of
twenty-six updated and edited papers from the Seventeenth Annual IFIP
TC11 / WG11.3 Working Conference on Data and Applications Security held
at Estes Park, Colorado, USA in August 2003, together with a report on
the conference keynote speech and a summary of the conference panel. The
contents demonstrate the richness and vitality of the discipline, and
other directions for future research in data and applications security.
Data and Applications Security XVII: Status and Prospects is an
invaluable resource for information assurance researchers, faculty
members and graduate students, as well as for individuals engaged in
research and development in the information technology sector.
