"I believe The Craft of System Security is one of the best software security books on the market today. It has not only breadth, but depth, covering topics ranging from cryptography, networking, and operating systems--to the Web, computer-human interaction, and how...

Steganography and steganalysis, the hiding and detection of a covert payload within an innocent cover object, started to receive attention from the computer science, engineering, and mathematics communities in the 1990s. At first the problems were not clearly defined, but proper statistical foundations were proposed and mathematical...

Sensor networks differ from traditional networks in many aspects including their limited energy, memory space, and computational capability. These differentiators create unique security vulnerabilities.

Security in Sensor Networks covers all aspects of the subject, serving as an invaluable reference for researchers,...

With more and more images and videos being available in the compressed format, researchers have started taking interest in the aspect of designing algorithms for different image operations directly in their domains of representation. This would not only avoid the inverse and forward transformation steps and potentially make the...

This book provides an overview of steganography and digital watermarking, two areas of research which are generally referred to as "information hiding." Steganography studies ways to make communication invisible by hiding secrets in innocuous messages, whereas watermarking originated from the need for copyright protection of...

Automatic object recognition has become an established discipline in image analysis. Moments and moment invariants play a very important role as features in invariant recognition. They were introduced to the pattern recognition community almost 50 years ago and the mathematical background they utilized is even older, originating from the...

With the increasing popularization of the Internet, together with the rapid development of 3D scanning technologies and modeling tools, 3D model databases have become more and more common in fields such as biology, chemistry, archaeology and geography. People can distribute their own 3D works over the Internet, search and download 3D...
