Improving Information Security Practices through Computational Intelligence

Book excerpt: The recent explosion in complex global networking architectures has spurred a concomitant rise in the need for robust information security. Further, as computing power increases exponentially with every passing year, so do the number of proposed cryptographic schemata for improving and ensuring the encryption integrity of cutting-edge infosec protocols. Improving Information Security Practices through Computational Intelligence presents an overview of the latest and greatest research in the field, touching on such topics as cryptology, stream ciphers, and intrusion detection, and providing new insights to an audience of students, teachers, and entry-level researchers working in computational intelligence, information security, and security engineering.
