This book constitutes the strictly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the First International Workshop on Information Hiding, held in Cambridge, UK, in May/June 1996, within the research programme in computer security, cryptology and coding theory organized by the volume editor at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge. Work on information hiding has been carried out over the last few years within different research communities, mostly unaware of each other's existence. The 26 papers presented define the state of the art and lay the foundation for a common terminology. This workshop is very likely to be seen at some point as one of those landmark events that mark the birth of a new scientific discipline.

The world has changed radically since the first edition of this book was published in 2001. Spammers, virus writers, phishermen, money launderers, and spies now trade busily with each other in a lively online criminal economy and as they specialize, they get better. In this indispensable, fully updated guide, Ross Anderson reveals how to build systems that stay dependable whether faced with error or malice. Here's straight talk on critical topics such as technical engineering basics, types of attack, specialized protection mechanisms, security psychology, policy, and more.

Focusing on the poignant journey of terminal cancer patient Irene Anderson, the narrative explores her struggles and the compassionate support of her husband, Ross, as they navigate her desire for a dignified death. Their deeply personal story serves as a powerful testament to the complexities of assisted suicide, encouraging readers to reflect on their own beliefs and choices in the face of terminal illness. Through their experience, the book advocates for a broader conversation about end-of-life options.

Exploring the teachings of the Book of Mormon, Ross Anderson, a former Mormon, provides insights into its content and contrasts it with the Bible. He addresses common questions about its appeal and significance, guiding readers through an assessment of its teachings while offering a Christian perspective. This examination serves to deepen understanding of both texts and their impact on believers.

Ross Anderson interviewed over 140 artists to tell the story of how, with Who Framed Roger Rabbit, they created something truly magical. Anderson describes the ways in which the Roger Rabbit characters have been used in film shorts, commercials, and merchandising, and how they have remained a cultural touchstone today.

Exploring the concept of core beliefs, this book delves into how individuals are shaped by their upbringing and societal influences, often mistaking these beliefs for absolute truths. It emphasizes the distinction between truth and belief, illustrating that personal growth can occur by challenging ingrained notions, like the fear of swimming. By letting go of limiting beliefs, one can embrace true happiness and fulfillment, even amidst life's challenges. Ultimately, it advocates for a transformative journey toward genuine living and self-discovery.

Focusing on the insights into Mormon life and culture, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the Latter-day Saints' worldview, community identity, and perceptions of truth. Drawing from personal experiences and research, the author explains the motivations behind joining and leaving the LDS Church. It offers practical advice for Christians on how to connect with Mormons, emphasizing sensitivity and confidence in sharing faith. The inclusion of discussion questions, photographs, and an appendix addressing common queries enhances its utility for both Latter-day Saints and Christians.

Yet the East African campaign has languished in undeserved obscurity over the years, with many people only vaguely aware of its course of events. Indeed, Humphrey Bogart's famous film, The African Queen, inspired by an episode of the campaign, often provides its only lasting image.

In recent years, the protection of computerized medical records and personal health information has sparked technical research and political disputes in various countries. In Britain, the debate began between the British Medical Association and the Department of Health regarding the use of encryption in a new medical network. Germany focused on issuing smartcards for patients to manage insurance details and payments, while the USA grappled with whether federal law should override state regulations on computerized medical records, including the necessary technical and legal protections for patients. This ongoing debate highlights the intertwined nature of policy and technical issues. Key questions arise: What does 'computer security' entail in healthcare? What are the objectives? What threats must we mitigate? What costs are justified? To what extent can existing technology, primarily designed for military and banking, be adapted? Most challenging is finding the right balance between technical and legal controls. As discussions evolved, it became evident that there was minimal engagement between clinical professionals, medical ethicists, and patients—those who articulate requirements—and those tasked with developing solutions.

Oto książka, w której czytelnik pozna narzędzia i techniki umożliwiające zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa informacji. Autor omawia podstawy inżynierii zabezpieczeń - od protokołów, kryptografii i kontroli dostępu do zagadnień organizacyjnych i przepisów. Rozważając bezpieczeństwo informacji z różnych punktów widzenia (w tym np. przedsiębiorstw, konsumentów, wojska, policji), podaje fakty dotyczące biometrii, odporności na penetrację, pieczęci, znakowania praw autorskich, alarmów przeciwwłamaniowych, handlu elektronicznego. Analizuje rodzaje ataków na najprzeróżniejsze systemy - od tych w bankowości i służbie zdrowia do tych w telefonii komórkowej i płatnej telewizji.
