A guide to implementing DIY security solutions and readily available technologies to protect home and small-office networks from attack. This book is an easy-to-follow series of tutorials that will lead readers through different facets of protecting household or small-business networks from cyber attacks. You’ll learn how to use pfSense to build a firewall, lock down wireless, segment a network into protected zones, configure a VPN (virtual private network) to hide and encrypt network traffic and communications, set up proxies to speed up network performance and hide the source of traffic, block ads, install and configure an antivirus, back up your data securely, and even how to monitor your network for unauthorized activity and alert you to intrusion. For our purposes, a small network consists of 100 or fewer endpoints. An endpoint, or host, is any system or device that connects to or is part of a network, such as a desktop or laptop computer or a mobile device like a phone or tablet. Larger networks, approaching the size of an enterprise network, use similar tools and techniques that are covered in this book to provide security to their users and systems, just on a much larger scale and often at a much higher cost.

Our book explains the movement to establish online trust through the decentralization of value, identity, and data ownership. This movement is part of ‘Web 3.0’, the idea that individuals rather than institutions will control and benefit from online social and economic activities. Blockchain technologies are the digital infrastructure for Web 3.0. While there are many books on blockchains, crypto, and digital assets, we focus on blockchain applications for Web 3.0. Our target audience is students, professionals, and managers. A blockchain application comprises protocols, code bases, use cases, and application interfaces. For a given blockchain application, protocols serve as the blueprints. A blockchain application has blueprints for the distributed ledger, native digital assets, cryptography, consensus, and smart contracts. Protocols are normally explained in a white paper so that potential adopters can understand the purpose and design choices made. Once rules are established, protocols are programmed into code bases, like Bitcoin core, Ethereum core, EOS, Hyperledger Fabric, Corda, Quorum, Chain or Multichain. Code bases are published as open-source software, typically on Github.

Cybersecurity: A Practical Engineering Approach introduces the implementation of a secure cyber architecture, beginning with the identification of security risks. It then builds solutions to mitigate risks by considering the technological justification of the solutions as well as their efficiency. The process follows an engineering process model. Each module builds on a subset of the risks, discussing the knowledge necessary to approach a solution, followed by the security control architecture design and the implementation. Kerberos is a network authentication protocol, aiming to achieve strong authentication using secret-key cryptography, in a local network environment with shared services. In fact, it embraces several sub protocols to accomplish that goal. Pentest (short for Penetration Test, and also referred to by Ethical Hacking) is a fundamental activity in Cybersecurity, aiming to test a computerized system against possible failures resulting from simulated malicious activity.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the design aspects of the Internet of Things devices and covers the fundamentals of Big Data and Embedded Programming. Various changing technologies, like sensors, RFID, etc., that are promoting IoT solutions are discussed. The core technologies like GSM Communication, Machine to Machine (M2M) Interfaces that are supposed to be the foundations for IoT are explained to prepare the designer. Definitions of IoT, different architectures of IoT, possible models of IOT, along with different market needs and Industry requirements are detailed, so that designers can finalize their choices that enable them to prepare PERT like basics. IEEE Standards useful to IoT design and a few Network Protocol Stacks are explored in detail that will give confidence to any designer. Embedded Operating Systems (FreeRTOS and Contiki) and various Middleware frameworks useful to IoT are discussed.

This book investigates the multiuser communication and its key technology—multiple access technology, as well as transceiving design methods. The future wireless communication networks are expected to provide ubiquitous massive coverage to meet the requirements of diversified applications. With an exponential increase of the number of users and devices, it is challenging to establish fast and reliable connections in the ubiquitous network. As the core technology in the evolution of wireless communication systems, multiple access technology can enable effective massive connections and has become the prominent research trend for ubiquitous networks. The goal of this book is to provide readers with a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art multiple access technologies for ubiquitous network, with a focus on the novel ubiquitous multiple access technologies, the signal construction techniques of multiple access and the enhanced multiple access transceivers using Artificial Intelligence (AI). For each of these topics, this book has tried to provide an advanced introduction, blending the basic multi-user information principles with the advanced multiple access models and novel application scenarios. In addition, this book has provided elaborate simulation results for each topic to verify the feasibility of the corresponding schemes.

Perfectly-secure cryptography is a branch of information-theoretic cryptography. A perfectly-secure cryptosystem guarantees that the malicious third party cannot guess anything regarding the plain text or the key, even in the case of full access to the cipher text. Despite this advantage, there are only a few real-world implementations of perfect secrecy due to some well-known limitations. Any simple, straightforward modeling can pave the way for further advancements in the implementation, especially in environments with time and resource constraints such as IoT. This book takes one step towards this goal via presenting a hybrid combinatorial-Boolean model for perfectly-secure cryptography in IoT. In this book, we first present an introduction to information-theoretic cryptography as well as perfect secrecy and its real-world implementations. Then we take a systematic approach to highlight information-theoretic cryptography as a convergence point for existing trends in research on cryptography in IoT. Then we investigate combinatorial and Boolean cryptography and show how they are seen almost everywhere in the ecosystem and the life cycle of information-theoretic IoT cryptography. We finally model perfect secrecy in IoT using Boolean functions, and map the Boolean functions to simple, well-studied combinatorial designs like Latin squares.
