Advances in Computer Science
The book addresses the impact of ambient intelligence, particularly its user-centric context-awareness requirement on data management strategies and solutions. Techniques of conceptualizing, capturing, protecting, modelling, and querying context information, as well as context-aware data management application are discussed, making the book is an essential reference for computer scientists, information scientists and industrial engineers.
The book summarizes key concepts and theories in trusted computing, e.g., TPM, TCM, mobile modules, chain of trust, trusted software stack etc, and discusses the configuration of trusted platforms and network connections. It also emphasizes the application of such technologies in practice, extending readers from computer science and information science researchers to industrial engineers.
This book presents watermarking algorithms derived from signal processing methods such as wavelet transform, matrix decomposition and cosine transform to address the limitations of current technologies. For each algorithm, mathematical foundations are explained with analysis conducted to evaluate performances on robotness and efficiency. Combining theories and practice, it is suitable for information security researchers and industrial engineers.
