Book Description
Hackers have uncovered the dark side of cryptography—that device developed to defeat Trojan horses, viruses, password theft, and other cyber-crime. It’s called cryptovirology, the art of turning the very methods designed to protect your data into a means of subverting it. In this fascinating, disturbing volume, the experts who first identified cryptovirology show you exactly what you’re up against and how to fight back. They will take you inside the brilliant and devious mind of a hacker—as much an addict as the vacant-eyed denizen of the crackhouse—so you can feel the rush and recognize your opponent’s power. Then, they will arm you for the counterattack. This book reads like a futuristic fantasy, but be assured, the threat is ominously real. Vigilance is essential, now. Understand the mechanics of computationally secure information stealing Learn how non-zero sum Game Theory is used to develop survivable malware Discover how hackers use public key cryptography to mount extortion attacks Recognize and combat the danger of kleptographic attacks on smart-card devices Build a strong arsenal against a cryptovirology attack

Crypto and AI
Author: Behrouz Zolfaghari
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031448073
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
This book studies the intersection between cryptography and AI, highlighting the significant cross-impact and potential between the two technologies. The authors first study the individual ecosystems of cryptography and AI to show the omnipresence of each technology in the ecosystem of the other one. Next, they show how these technologies have come together in collaborative or adversarial ways. In the next section, the authors highlight the coevolution being formed between cryptography and AI. Throughout the book, the authors use evidence from state-of-the-art research to look ahead at the future of the crypto-AI dichotomy. The authors explain how they anticipate that quantum computing will join the dichotomy in near future, augmenting it to a trichotomy. They verify this through two case studies highlighting another scenario wherein crypto, AI and quantum converge. The authors study current trends in chaotic image encryption as well as information-theoretic cryptography and show how these trends lean towards quantum-inspired artificial intelligence (QiAI). After concluding the discussions, the authors suggest future research for interested researchers.

Book Description
In the present work the behavior of malicious software is studied, the security challenges are understood, and an attempt is made to detect the malware behavior automatically using dynamic approach. Various classification techniques are studied. Malwares are then grouped according to these techniques and malware with unknown characteristics are clustered into an unknown group. The classifiers used in this research are k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), J48 Decision Tree, and n-grams.
