Since databases are the primary repositories of information for today’s organizations and governments, database security has become critically important. Introducing the concept of multilevel security in relational databases, this book provides a comparative study of the various models that support multilevel security policies in the relational database—illustrating the strengths and weaknesses of each model. Multilevel Security for Relational Databases covers multilevel database security concepts along with many other multilevel database security models and techniques. It presents a prototype that readers can implement as a tool for conducting performance evaluations to compare multilev...
Investigating image encryption approaches, this book examines image encryption algorithms for the purpose of wireless communication of images in secure form. It considers two directions for image encryption: permutation-based encryption and diffusion-based encryption. Covering the range of image encryption principles and techniques, it presents hybrid encryption algorithms to enhance the characteristics of traditional algorithms. It explores number theory-based encryption algorithms, details the strength of different encryption algorithms, and describes their ability to work within the limitations of wireless communication systems.
A cognitive network makes use of the information gathered from the network in order to sense the environment, plan actions according to the input, and make appropriate decisions using a reasoning engine. The ability of cognitive networks to learn from the past and use that knowledge to improve future decisions makes them a key area of interest for anyone whose work involves wireless networks and communications. Cognitive Networks: Applications and Deployments examines recent developments in cognitive networks from the perspective of cutting-edge applications and deployments. Presenting the contributions of internationally renowned experts, it supplies complete and balanced treatment of the f...
With nearly 7 billion mobile phone subscriptions worldwide, mobility and computing have become pervasive in our society and business. Moreover, new mobile multimedia communication services are challenging telecommunication operators. To support the significant increase in multimedia traffic—especially video—over wireless networks, new technological infrastructure must be created. Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) are widely regarded as one of the most promising technologies for future wireless communications. This book explains how to efficiently deliver video, audio, and other data over CRNs. Covering advanced algorithms, protocols, and hardware-/software-based experiments, this book desc...
This book explains how to use software-defined networking (SDN) technologies powered by the OpenFlow protocol to build networks that are easy to design, less expensive to build and operate, and more agile and customizable.
