CFC 2012 - Call For Chapters : Network Security Technologies: Design and Applications

Advances in telecommunications, IT technologies and emerging security challenges have produced a field?network security technologies?to deal with the art, the knowledge, methodologies and techniques from diverse areas including cryptography and network communication and protocols. As a field, network security technologies is devoted to solving security problems in a systematic way in order to ensure security of software and communication functionalities at basic, enhanced, integrated, and architectural levels.
Objective of the Book
This book will aim to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in network security technologies. It will be written for professionals who want to improve their understanding of the strategic role of trust at different levels of the information and knowledge society, including trust at the level of the global economy, of networks and organizations, of teams and work groups, of information systems and, finally, trust at the level of individuals as actors in the networked environments.
The book will cover the latest knowledge and technologies used and applied in network security. Also, it will analyze malicious threats, viruses, and attacks which can compromise network integrity at hardware or software levels.
Target Audience
The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and researchers working in the field of information and knowledge management in various disciplines, e.g. library, information and communication sciences, administrative sciences and management, education, adult education, sociology, computer science, and information technology. Moreover, the book will provide insights and support to executives concerned with the management of expertise, knowledge, information and organizational development in different types of work communities and environments.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
Network and Wireless Network Security
Security for emerging technologies: sensor networks, wireless/mobile (and ad hoc) networks, and personal communication systems
Peer-to-Peer Network Security
Database and System Security
