Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - With the quick advancement of web technology and network applications, protecting digitized information from unwanted access and modification has become a critical problem in today's digital world. The security issue in electronic media has presented a complex challenge, initiating the development of cryptographic algorithms incorporating Chaos theory and secret sharing schemes. Chaos theory and secret sharing have been used to develop various multimedia application encryption strategies. Encryption converts multimedia data, i.e., images, audio, and videos, into noise-like data. The chaotic map characteristics, such as nonlinearity and sensitivity to the initial conditions, make it suitable for use in cryptography. At the same time, secret schemes can protect essential information against loss, modification, or destruction. Numerous techniques based on Chaos theory and secret sharing have been created to overcome these issues. These security techniques have become very popular for developing image and video cryptosystems. Also, the authors have developed chaotic map-based cryptosystems for other forms of multimedia data and other research fields such as IoT, cloud computing, smart grid, etc. Moreover, the authors have proposed different secret-sharing schemes to recognize and secure multimedia data based on their characteristics. Furthermore, some books have been edited by the authors, concentrating only on different methodologies proposed by the researchers. However, no authored book that discusses this important research topic from the viewpoint of chaotic map-based multimedia encryption is available in the market. To this end, the book aims to review and highlight the challenges of intelligent multimedia security and present the recent developments to address those challenges.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Organizing for Cyber Power examines how states organise to develop and employ offensive cyberspace operations (OCO) as an instrument of national security under conditions of time compression, partial intelligence, attribution friction, and technical volatility. Its central claim is conditional: offensive capability contributes to strategic value when it is integrated across strategic authority, operational planning, and tactical execution, and embedded in institutional arrangements that sustain legal compliance, political oversight, intelligence-driven targeting, and risk governance.The book introduces the Multi-Level, Multi-Dimensional (MLMD) Framework as a structured map linking strategic, operational, and tactical decision-making with cross-cutting political, ethical, and technological dimensions. MLMD is used to trace dependencies that shape whether policy intent can be translated into authorised, feasible action without losing control over effects that may propagate across interconnected systems.Across three parts, the analysis develops conceptual foundations for cyber power and deterrence, then applies the framework to governance and institutional design, including Sweden's cyber deterrence posture, vulnerability exploitation and its ethical implications, and whole-of-society partnership configurations. A policy-to-payload workflow and deconfliction model clarifies where authorisation, intelligence, engineering, and defensive activity collide and where escalation exposure concentrates.The final part connects theory to practice through cases and prospective analysis, including WannaCry and an exercise-based cyber range scenario, before deriving institutional implications and future policy directions. The book is written for policy-makers, practitioners, students, and scholars who require a coherent way to analyse how cyber power is organised and governed as lawful statecraft in a contested domain. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Not Just Another Model: The Art of AI Product Development in Enterprise Settings is for those who have discovered that corporate AI is less about mathematical brilliance and more about organisational archaeology: excavating real problems buried beneath layers of political sediment, building bridges between technical possibility and business reality, and accepting that sometimes the most valuable skill is knowing when not to build an AI solution at all. Creating a successful AI product depends not only on technical competence but far more on business acumen, political savvy, and the judgment to know when AI is the answer and when it is not. That judgment cannot be reduced to a flowchart or automated into a decision tool. It emerges from experience, from understanding both what is technically possible and what is organisationally achievable, from learning to navigate the space between these boundaries.Building that judgment is what this book is actually about. Its frameworks, thresholds, and assessment tools provide structure for decisions that ultimately require human wisdom. Its case studies illustrate patterns familiar across businesses, hard-won lessons written to save organisations from all-too-common failures.It maps two realities: what AI can genuinely achieve and what corporate environments can genuinely absorb, and it develops the judgment that transforms practitioners who create impressive demonstrations into practitioners who deliver lasting impact. That transformation is neither quick nor easy. But it is possible, and it is valuable, and it is what separates the projects that quietly succeed from the projects that quietly disappear.…
