Security and Privacy in Dynamic Environments: Proceedings of the IFIP TC-11 21st International Information Security Conference (SEC 2006), 22-24 May ... and Communication Technology, 201)

This book contains the Proceedings of the 21st IFIP TC-11 International Information Security Conference (IFIPISEC 2006) on "Security and Privacy in Dynamic Envir- ments" held in May 22-24 2006 in Karlstad, Sweden. The first IFIPISEC conference was arranged in May 1983 in Stockholm, Sweden, one year before TC- 1 1 was founded, with the active participation of the Swedish IT Security Community. The IFIPISEC conferences have since then become the flagship events of TC-11. We are very pleased that we succeeded with our bid to after 23 years hold the IFIPISEC conference again in Sweden. The IT environment now includes novel, dynamic approaches such as mobility, wearability, ubiquity, ad hoc use, mindhody orientation, and businesslmarket ori- tation. This modem environment challenges the whole information security research community to focus on interdisciplinary and holistic approaches whilst retaining the benefit of previous research efforts. Papers offering research contributions focusing on dynamic environments in addition to other aspects of computer security and privacy were solicited for submission to IFIPISEC 2006. We received 141 submissions which were all reviewed by at least three members of the international program committee. International Federation for Information Processing The IFIP series publishes state-of-the-art results in the sciences and technologies of information and communication. The scope of the series includes: foundations of computer science; software theory and practice; education; computer applications in technology; communication systems; systems modeling and optimization; information systems; computers and society; computer systems technology; security and protection in information processing systems; artificial intelligence; and human-computer interaction. Proceedings and post-proceedings of referred international conferences in computer science and interdisciplinary fields are featured. These results often precede journal publication and represent the most current research. The principal aim of the IFIP series is to encourage education and the dissemination and exchange of information about all aspects of computing.

Business and Finance for IT People gives an insight into the world of business, and its language - the language of finance - for all those involved in information technology IT, whether as practitioners - buyer, sellers, technicians or managers - or students. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, the book not only takes the reader step by step in plain language, and with many practical examples, through the fundamentals of business and finance, but also through some more advanced topics - leasing, cost/benefit analysis and project evaluation methods - not normally found in an introductory book, but of particular interest to IT people. Areas covered in this book include: - Fundamentals of business and finance; - Balance sheets, profit and loss accounts, cash flow statements; - Different kinds of business and their financial characteristics; - Financing and leasing; - Cost/benefit analysis; - Project evaluation methods, including net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR) and return on investment (ROI); - Budget, costing and pricing - an introduction This book contains the Proceedings of the 21st IFIP TC-11 International Information Security Conference (IFIP/SEC 2006) on Security and Privacy in Dynamic Environments. The papers presented here place a special emphasis on Privacy and Privacy Enhancing Technologies. Further topics addressed include security in mobile and ad hoc networks, access control for dynamic environments, new forms of attacks, security awareness, intrusion detection, and network forensics. Understanding Business and Finance gives those studying computing and information systems an insight into the world of business, and its language - the language of finance. It provides essential information about the world of business, enabling students to gain a better insight into whether this is what they want to do - and providing them with a head start when they enter the world of work.
