There is no doubt that we are facing a wireless data explosion. Modern wireless networks need to satisfy increasing demand, but are faced with challenges such as limited spectrum, expensive resources, green communication requirements and security issues. In the age of Internet of Things (IoT) with massive data transfers and huge numbers of connected devices, including high-demand QoS (4G, 5G networks and beyond), signal processing is producing data sets at the gigabyte and terabyte scales. Modest-sized optimisation problems can be handled by online algorithms with fast speed processing and a huge amount of computer memory. With the rapid increase in powerful computers, more efficient algorithms and advanced parallel computing promise an enormous reduction in calculation time, solving modern optimisation problems on strict deadlines at microsecond or millisecond time scales. Finally, the interplay between Machine Learning and optimisation is an efficient and practical approach to optimisation in real-time applications.

It is of immense pleasure to launch our book entitled Green Computing in Network Security that explores the idea of energy- efficient computing for network and data security. In this era, where digitization and communication of each professional or personal information have become a significant part of our lives, a stable and secured network is indispensable. Though there is no network fully immune from threats and attacks, a stable and efficient network security system is essential for shielding against data theft and sabotage. Such a system can secure shared data across the network. Network security consists of the strategies and practices adopted to avert and scrutinize any probable misuse and alteration of shared information or unauthorized access or even denial of network resources and services. Network security strategies like cryptography, use of anti- malware software and strong authentication means are important ways of achieving data privacy, integrity of data, authentication and non-repudiation.

Today, it is understood that more data is streaming into organizations from more sources than ever before. But only collecting and storing the data is not enough for every organization, it is important to put them in usable form so that they may get easily accessible whenever they are needed. This overburden of information produced new technologies in many forms. In these new technologies knowledge management and Web 3.0 are also used as a tool for the better use of the data in the productivity of the organization. When users search the information on Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, then the system was searching and presenting the information via using the keywords which were searched by the user. However, this outline has changed after the launch of Web 3.0. With the launch of this technology, the machine learning was also included in Web 3.0 which is widely popular as Artificial Intelligence (AI). Web 3.0 was the semantic web which was combined with read-write-execute the information by the user, where computers and servers can interpret the searched information like humans with AI and Machine Learning (ML) methods. In this system, the algorithm of the programs was specially designed to create communication between machines to the machine.

Blockchains are seen as a technology for the future, which reduce the cost of trust and revolutionize transactions between individuals, companies and governments. The sense of using blockchains is to minimize the probability of errors, successful frauds and paper-intensive processes. For these reasons, blockchains already have and will have a significant impact to the society and every day's life, especially in field of Machine to Machine (M2M) communications, which are one of the basic technologies for Internet of Things (IoT). Therefore, blockchains with their inherent property to provide security, privacy and decentralized operation are engine for todays and future reliable, autonomous and trusted IoT platforms. Specially, a disruptive role of ledger technologies in future smart personal mobility systems, which combine smart car industry, smart energy/smart cities will be explained in the book, considering its importance for development of new industrial and business models.

So-called Intent-Based Networking (IBN) is founded on well-known SDN (Software-Defined Networking) and represents one of the most important emerging network infrastructure opportunities. The IBN is the beginning of a new era in the history of networking, where the network itself translates business intentions into appropriate network configurations for all devices. This minimizes manual effort, provides an additional layer of network monitoring, and provides the ability to perform network analytics and take full advantage of machine learning. The centralized, software-defined solution provides process automation and proactive problem solving as well as centralized management of the network infrastructure. With software-based network management, many operations can be performed automatically using intelligent control algorithms (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning). As a result, network operation costs, application response times and energy consumption are reduced, network reliability and performance are improved, network security and flexibility are enhanced. This will be a benefit for existing networks as well as evolved LTE-based mobile networks, emerging Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud systems, and soon for the future 5G/6G networks.

This book presents the cellular wireless network standard NB-IoT (Narrow Band-Internet of Things), which addresses many key requirements of the IoT. NB-IoT is a topic that is inspiring the industry to create new business cases and associated products. The author first introduces the technology and typical IoT use cases. He then explains NB-IoT extended network coverage and outstanding power saving features which are enabling the design of IoT devices (e.g. sensors) to work everywhere and for more than 10 years, in a maintenance-free way. The book explains to industrial users how to utilize NB-IoT features for their own IoT projects. Other system ingredients (e.g. IoT cloud services) and embedded security aspects are covered as well. The author takes an in-depth look at NB-IoT from an application engineering point of view, focusing on IoT device design. The target audience is technical-minded IoT project owners and system design engineers who are planning to develop an IoT application.

Completely rewritten Third Edition (2021) presents the definitive 640-page privacy manual. Michael Bazzell has helped hundreds of celebrities, billionaires, and everyday citizens completely disappear from public view. He is now known in Hollywood as the guy that “fixes” things. His previous books about privacy were mostly REACTIVE and he focused on ways to hide information, clean up an online presence, and sanitize public records to avoid unwanted exposure. This textbook is PROACTIVE. It is about starting over. It is the complete guide that he would give to any new client in an extreme situation. It leaves nothing out, and provides explicit details of every step he takes to make someone completely disappear, including document templates and a chronological order of events. The information shared in this volume is based on real experiences with his actual clients, and is unlike any content ever released in his other books.
