Computer and Network Security

TL;DR: A selection of the most popular state-of-the-art mechanisms designed to protect information, objects and other resources found in networks and distributed systems are discussed, starting with basic cryptographic tools and explaining how these can be exploited to achieve various forms of authentication services.

TL;DR: A static API trace birthmark to detect Java theft is proposed, which is more resilient than the existing static birthmarks and can be applied to library programs which earlier dynamic birthmarks cannot handle properly.

TL;DR: This application provides a new source of objective real-time data impossible to collect using existing methods, and utilizes the mandatory form of VANET communication (beacons), making it non-obtrusive in terms of resource and bandwidth consumption.

TL;DR: A novel solution for binding sensitive content to organisation devices, thereby preventing uncontrolled content leakage to other devices is proposed and used trusted computing technology to provide a hardware-based root of trust on client side.
