Blockchain is considered as distributed records or lists assigned to network nodes. They store information in blocks where each block is linked to the previous one. These blocks establish a chain (blockchain). Initially, blockchains were created for cryptocurrency systems to sustain a secure and decentralized collection of transactions. Soon after, many different applications of blockchains emerged. Principles and Practice of Blockchains provides an essential compilation of relevant and cutting-edge academic and industry work on key blockchain topics. Further, it introduces blockchains to the public at large to develop their blockchain knowledge and awareness. The book can be a valuable resource to blockchain experts towards their professional development efforts and to students as a supplement to their cybersecurity courses.

The Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) can be found in the majority of data centers across the world. However, getting hands-on practice to learn this infrastructure can be difficult, as many companies will push to have it production-ready as soon as possible. Home-labs are also cost-prohibitive, cumbersome, electricity-hungry, and noisy. So, how do you get hands-on experience? With Unified Computing System Platform Emulator (UCSPE) and this book. UCSPE is free and can run on a laptop. Using it along with this book, you will learn how to set up, manage and troubleshoot a UCS, including the fabric interconnects, chassis and IOMs, and servers through the GUI and the CLI. All from the comfort of your own home. Introducing Cisco Unified Computing System will show you how to set up a UCS (comparing the UCSPE to a real-world deployment), customize the hardware, configure the UCS system, and secure it.

This book provides a detailed examination of the threats and dangers facing the West at the far end of the cybersecurity spectrum. It concentrates on threats to critical infrastructure which includes major public utilities. It focusses on the threats posed by the two most potent adversaries/competitors to the West, Russia and China, whilst considering threats posed by Iran and North Korea. The arguments and themes are empirically driven but are also driven by the need to evolve the nascent debate on cyberwarfare and conceptions of ‘cyberwar’. This book seeks to progress both conceptions and define them more tightly. This accessibly written book speaks to those interested in cybersecurity, international relations and international security, law, criminology, psychology as well as to the technical cybersecurity community, those in industry, governments, policing, law making and law enforcement, and in militaries (particularly NATO members). This book concentrates not on military networks but on civilian critical infrastructure/critical national infrastructure (CI/CNI) attacks.

We live in a digital world, where we use digital tools and smart devices to communicate over the Internet. In turn, an enormous amount of data gets generated. The traditional computing architectures are inefficient in storing and managing this massive amount of data. Unfortunately, the data cannot be ignored as it helps businesses to make better decisions, solve problems, understand performance, improve processes, and understand customers. Therefore, we need modern systems capable of handling and managing data efficiently. In the past few decades, many distributed computing paradigms have emerged, and we have noticed a substantial growth in the applications based on such emerging paradigms. Some well-known emerging computing paradigms include cloud computing, fog computing, and edge computing, which have leveraged the increase in the volume of data being generated every second. However, the distributed computing paradigms face critical challenges, including network management and cyber security. We have witnessed the development of various networking models―IoT, SDN, and ICN―to support modern systems requirements.

This book is written according to the examination outline for Huawei HCIA-Routing Switching V2.5 certification, aiming to help readers master the basics of network communications and use Huawei network devices to set up enterprise LANs and WANs, wired networks, and wireless networks, ensure network security for enterprises, and grasp cutting-edge computer network technologies. The most important thing in learning about computer networks is to master and understand the protocols used for computer communication. For many people learning computer networks, the protocols used for computer communication are concepts they struggle to understand. The protocols used for computer communication in the Internet today are a set of protocols, namely the TCP/IPv4 protocol stack. The TCP/IPv4 protocol stack is a communication protocol that is most complete and most widely used at present. In recent years, with the rise of network automation technology, the abilities to program, of which Python is a major one, become a new skill requirement for network engineers. Automation scripts written in Python can perform repetitive, time-consuming and regular operations excellently.

This book gives an overview of existing models that cover the whole lifecycle of an IoT application, ranging from its design, implementation, deployment, operation, and monitoring to its final termination and retirement. Models provide abstraction and can help IoT application developers into creating more robust, secure, and reliable applications. Furthermore, adaptation of applications can be eased by using these models, leading to an increased dynamic of the developed IoT applications. Today, the Internet of Things (IoT) is spread throughout many different domains and changes the way we develop software. The uprising of the IoT can be explained by the decrease in hardware costs and the increase in computing power while the physical size of devices decreases over time. Furthermore, new communication technologies and protocols, such as 5G or LoRa, ease the development of highly distributed IoT applications.
