Pro .NET 2.0 XML
XML is the de facto language for communication within and between distributed applications, whether they're on the Internet or a corporate network. XML is successful because of two strengths: it has a highly-structured human readable format and it can be transmitted as pure text. No matter how disparate applications and their architectures may be, text files can always be read, and therefore can accept XML data. This makes XML-based solutions advantageous over rival technologies like remoting.
Privacy-Respecting Intrusion Detection
With our society's growing dependency on information technology systems (IT), IT security is crucial. To properly respond to misuse or abusive activity in IT systems, one needs to establish the capability to detect and understand improper activity. Intrusion Detection Systems observe activity occurring in the IT system, record these observations in audit data, and analyze collected audit data to detect misuse. Collecting and processing audit data for misuse detection conflicts with expectations and rights of system users regarding their privacy. A viable solution is replacing personal data with pseudonyms in audit data.
Privacy, Security, and Trust in KDD ; 1st ACM SIGKDD International Workshop, PinKDD 2007, San Jose, CA, USA, August 12, 2007, Revised Selected Papers
Vast amounts of data are collected by service providers and system administ- tors, and are available in public information systems. Data mining technologies provide an ideal framework to assist in analyzing such collections for computer security and surveillance-related endeavors. For instance, system administrators can apply data mining to summarize activity patterns in access logs so that potential malicious incidents can be further investigated. Beyond computer - curity, data mining technology supports intelligence gathering and summari- tion for homeland security. For years, and most recently fueled by events such as September 11, 2001, government agencies have focused on developing and applying data mining technologies to monitor terrorist behaviors in public and private data collections. Theapplicationof data mining to person-specifc data raisesseriousconcerns regarding data con?dentiality and citizens’ privacy rights.

Privacy Enhancing Technologies ; Vol. 3424 : 4th International Workshop, PET 2004, Toronto, Canada, May 26-28, 2004, Revised Selected Papers
Traditional methods for evaluating the amount of anonymity afforded by various Mix configurations have depended on either measuring the size of the set of possible senders of a particular message (the anonymity set size), or by measuring the entropy associated with the probability distribution of the messages possible senders. This paper explores further an alternative way of assessing the anonymity of a Mix system by considering the capacity of a covert channel from a sender behind the Mix to an observer of the Mix’s output. Initial work considered a simple model [4], with an observer (Eve) restricted to counting the number of messages leaving a Mix configured as a firewall guarding an enclave with one malicious sender (Alice) and some other naive senders (Cluelessi’s). Here, we consider the case where Eve can distinguish between multiple destinations, and the senders can select to which destination their message (if any) is sent each clock tick.

Principles of Protocol Design
Introduces the reader to the principles used in the construction of a large range of modern data communication protocols. The approach we take is rather a formal one, primarily based on descriptions of protocols in the notation of CSP. This not only enables us to describe protocols in a concise manner, but also to reason about many of their interesting properties and formally to prove certain aspects of their correctness with respect to appropriate speci?cations. Only after considering the main principles do we go on to consider actual protocols where these principles are exploited.
Principles of Network Economics
Network problems are manifold and extremely complex. Many problems result from engineering details or mathematical difficulties, others are caused by disregarding economic principles and imperfections of markets. The text provides a fairly integrated approach of transportation related "network problems" and their "solutions" with emphasis on economics or, more precisely, microeconomic theory.
