Cryptography and Network Security

Cryptography and Network Security

Starting with the historical facts behind the concept of information which led to the creation of computer networks Internet of things and cryptocurrencies the book then arrives at the main definitions of cryptography and network security the protocols that keep the systems running and the cybercrimes that could disrupt the systems. The basics of information theory how to measure information and the information associated with a source are discussed. Source codes are presented along with the concepts of information transmission joint information conditional entropy mutual information and channel capacity. Computer networks are discussed including the main protocols and network architectures and the important TCP/IP protocol. Network security a topic intrinsically connected to computer networks and the Internet is presented along with information about basic hacker attacks alternatives to prevent attacks data protection and secure protocols. The information theoretical aspects of cryptography are described including the hash function. Appendices include a review of probability theory a discussion of cryptoalgorithms and cryptosystems and a glossary of information security terms. Illustrations and graphics help the reader understand the theory.

Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Biomedical Applications

Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Biomedical Applications

Since its first appearance artificial intelligence has been ensuring revolutionary outcomes in the context of real-world problems. At this point it has strong relations with biomedical and today’s intelligent systems compete with human capabilities in medical tasks. However advanced use of artificial intelligence causes intelligent systems to be black-box. That situation is not good for building trustworthy intelligent systems in medical applications. For a remarkable amount of time researchers have tried to solve the black-box issue by using modular additions which have led to the rise of the term: interpretable artificial intelligence. As the literature matured (as a result of in particular deep learning) that term transformed into explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). This book provides an essential edited work regarding the latest advancements in explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for biomedical applications. It includes not only introductive perspectives but also applied touches and discussions regarding critical problems as well as future insights. Topics discussed in the book include: XAI for the applications with medical images XAI use cases for alternative medical data/task Different XAI methods for biomedical applications Reviews for the XAI research for critical biomedical problems. Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Biomedical Applications is ideal for academicians researchers students engineers and experts from the fields of computer science biomedical medical and health sciences. It also welcomes all readers of different fields to be informed about use cases of XAI in black-box artificial intelligence. In this sense the book can be used for both teaching and reference source purposes.

Understanding Communications Systems Principles—A Tutorial Approach

Understanding Communications Systems Principles—A Tutorial Approach

Wireless communications and sensing systems are nowadays ubiquitous; cell phones and automotive radars typifying two of the most familiar examples. This book introduces the field by addressing its fundamental principles proceeding from its very beginnings up to today's emerging technologies related to the fifth-generation wireless systems (5G) Multi-Input Multiple Output (MIMO) connectivity and Aerospace/Electronic Warfare Radar. The tone is tutorial. Problems are included at the end of each chapter to facilitate the understanding and assimilation of the material to electrical engineering undergraduate/graduate students and beginning and non-specialist professionals. Free temporary access to Keysight's SystemVue system simulation is provided to further enhance reader learning through hands-on tutorial exercises. Chapter 1 introduces wireless communications and sensing and in particular how curiosity-driven scientific research led to the foundation of the field. Chapter 2 presents a brief introduction to the building blocks that make up wireless systems. Chapter 3 focuses on developing an understanding of the performance parameters that characterize a wireless system. Chapter 4 deals with circuit topologies for modulation and detection. In chapter 5 we cover the fundamental transmitter and receiver systems architectures that enable the transmission of information at precise frequencies and their reception from among a rather large multitude of other signals present in space. Chapter 6 introduces 5G its motivation and its development and adoption challenges for providing unprecedented levels of highest speed wireless connectivity. Chapter 7 takes on the topic of MIMO its justification and its various architectures. Chapter 8 addresses the topic of aerospace/electronic warfare radar and finally Chapter 9 presents three Tutorials utilizing the SystemVue simulation tool. | Understanding Communications Systems Principles—A Tutorial Approach

Veins of the Desert A Review on Qanat / Falaj / Karez

Veins of the Desert A Review on Qanat / Falaj / Karez

Qanat is a gently sloping subterranean canal which taps a water-bearing zone at a higher elevation than cultivated lands. A qanat consist of a series of vertical shafts in sloping ground interconnected at the bottom by a tunnel with a gradient flatter than that of the ground. From the air this system looks like a line of anthills leading from the foothills across the desert to the greenery of an irrigated settlement. Qanat engages a variety of knowledge and its studying entails an interdisciplinary approach. In a traditional realm qanats are embraced by a socio-economic system which guarantees their sustainability. The facets of this socio-economic system operate closely together and make it possible for the qanats to remain into future. Veins of the Desert shows that digging a qanat requires a variety of sciences and technologies though at a glance qanat is just a horizontal tunnel which drains out groundwater. Qanat is a feat of technology left from our ancestors; hidden underground but its technical importance is apparent not less valuable than such surface structures as bridges castles towers etc. Qanat enjoys extended structures and sometimes its length reaches tens of kilometers. It passes through geological formations and faces different conditions and obstacles so the qanat masters' efforts to solve these problems led to the accumulation of knowledge in terms of qanat construction over time which has been handed down from generation to generation. Qanat is one of the most complicated traditional technologies which require knowledge on nature ranging from groundwater to management. This indigenous technology used to bring water efficiently from tens of kilometers away to the thirsty lands. This book also gives insight into cultural and social heritages which have crystalized around this technique. | Veins of the Desert A Review on Qanat / Falaj / Karez
