Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - At its core, information security deals with the secure and accurate transfer of information. While information security has long been important, it was, perhaps, brought more clearly into mainstream focus with the so-called 'Y2K' issue. Te Y2K scare was the fear that c- puter networks and the systems that are controlled or operated by sofware would fail with the turn of the millennium, since their clocks could lose synchronization by not recognizing a number (instruction) with three zeros. A positive outcome of this scare was the creation of several Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) around the world that now work - operatively to exchange expertise and information, and to coordinate in case major problems should arise in the modern IT environment. Te terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 raised security concerns to a new level. Te - ternational community responded on at least two fronts; one front being the transfer of reliable information via secure networks and the other being the collection of information about - tential terrorists. As a sign of this new emphasis on security, since 2001, all major academic publishers have started technical journals focused on security, and every major communi- tions conference (for example, Globecom and ICC) has organized workshops and sessions on security issues. In addition, the IEEE has created a technical committee on Communication and Information Security. Te rst editor was intimately involved with security for the Athens Olympic Games of 2004.

Synopsis

The main sections of this Handbook are written from a general technological perspective and are applicable to most computer network and telecommunication systems. This presentation is complemented by an extensive description of applications in real implementations as well as legal and political aspects. The effect of having two editors ensures a well-balanced mix of American and European perspective, and electrical engineering and computer science views.

The Handbook offers comprehensive coverage of all practically relevant I & C security topics, including computers, computer networks, and telecommunications. An extensive section is devoted to applications. The content is mostly technical, but the Handbook deals also with legal and political aspects. The Springer Handbook of Information and Communication security provides I & C professionals, researchers as well as students with quickly retrievable information on relevant security topics.
