Cryptographic access control (CAC) is an approach to securing data by encrypting it with a key, so that only the users in possession of the correct key are able to decrypt the data and/or perform further encryptions. Applications of cryptographic access control will benefit companies, governments and the military where structured access to information is essential.The purpose of this book is to highlight the need for adaptability in cryptographic access control schemes that are geared for dynamic environments, such as the Internet. Adaptive Cryptographic Access Control presents the challenges of designing hierarchical cryptographic key management algorithms to implement Adaptive Access Control in dynamic environments and suggest solutions that will overcome these challenges.Adaptive Cryptographic Access Control is a cutting-edge book focusing specifically on this topic in relation to security and cryptographic access control. Both the theoretical and practical aspects and approaches of cryptographic access control are introduced in this book. Case studies and examples are provided throughout this book.

This book is centered on Smart grids and micro-grids, as a cost-effective method of ensuring fair and equitable access to power in urban areas.

This book highlights the importance of digital privacy as an allied and supporting field to cybersecurity. The authors aim to underscore the fact that digital privacy is important sub-field of cybersecurity and must be differentiated from the social science and digital humanities view of privacy.This book discusses digital privacy from various viewpoints in relation to cyber-security. The authors begin with Chapter 1, by emphasizing the fact that digital privacy must be viewed and addressed as a collective (and not an individual) problem. Therefore, solutions designed must include several perspectives ranging from decision making algorithms that assess the cost-benefit ratio for all parties involved in the digital operation. In Chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5, the authors discuss the implications from the adversarial and benign perspectives, of transforming data to ensure privacy. The authors also discuss performance, and some solutions to help alleviate this especially in scenarios involving large data and/or low powered/processing systems. In Chapters 6 and 7, the authors discuss the benefits of supporting user decision making and preventing privacy breaches that arise from inadvertent disclosures of sensitive personal information. Chapter 8 discusses possible avenues for future work centred around aspects, such as data transformation to support privacy preserving machine learning, privacy decision making and disclosure risks.This book targets researchers working in digital privacy and cybersecurity as well as advanced-level students studying this field. Policy makers in governments and organizations will also find this book to be a valuable resource.

This book is centered on Smart grids and micro-grids, as a cost-effective method of ensuring fair and equitable access to power in urban areas. It also considers scenarios where deploying smart grids can be both cost-prohibitively expensive and logistically challenging. Deploying smart microgrids instead, offers a reliable power solution but, as is the case in smart grids, a key issue is guaranteeing usability, trust, and reliability while protecting against energy theft.This book considers aspects such as state estimation, capacity planning, demand forecasting, price signals, and demand management with respect to energy theft. Straight-forward approaches to provoking energy theft on smart grids and micro-grids include mis-recordings power consumption/generation information and exposures of personally identifiable information or sensitive information. Attack models based on mis-recorded generation and/or consumption data and exposure of personally identifiable information, are also studied. In each case, countermeasures are proposed to circumvent the power theft attacks raised.Researchers in Smart Micro-grids security, cyber-physical systems, and critical infrastructure will want to purchase this book as a reference. Professionals, Researchers, Academics and students working in security general and Security of Critical Infrastructure, Privacy, and Data Sharing will also want to purchase this book as a reference.
