Fundamentals of Cryptology: A Professional Reference and Interactive Tutorial Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science
The protection of sensitive information against unauthorized access or fraudulent changes has been of prime concern throughout the centuries. Modern communication techniques, using computers connected through networks, make all data even more vulnerable for these threats. Also, new issues have come up that were not relevant before, e.g. how to add a (digital) signature to an electronic document in such a way that the signer can not deny later on that the document was signed by him/her. Cryptology addresses the above issues. It is at the foundation of all information security. From the Preface.
Keep tabs on the vast array of storage network technologies, including SAN, NAS, Fibre Channel, file systems, virtualization, database storage, and snapshots. Plus, discover emerging technology standards such as iSCSI, InfiniBand, and storage provisioning. A profoundly useful resource for troubleshooting and coping with legacy issues such as interoperability and storage resource management. From Amazon.
Berkshire Encyclopedia of Human-Computer Interaction by William Sims Bainbridge
The Berkshire Encyclopedia of Human-Computer Interaction is the first reference resource designed to meet the needs of researchers and scientists as well as students, business and marketing professionals, and interested non-experts. It allows the reader to explore what's going on inside leading research labs and technology corporations, enabling us to understand the products and processes shaping the world we live in. Expert-written articles are accompanied by lively sidebars and a popular culture database of more than 300 novels, television shows, and movies. Human-Computer Interaction--known as HCI--is a fast-growing field that draws upon several branches of social, behavioral, and information science, as well as medicine, computer science, and electrical engineering. It is the study of how we communicate with--and through--computers, robots, information systems, and the Internet. From Google Books.
