Privacy on the line : the politics of wiretapping and encryption by Whitfield Diffie( )

62 editions published between 1998 and 2019 in English and Undetermined and held by 4,534 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Diffie and Landau examine the national-security, law-enforcement, commercial, and civil-liberties issues. They discuss privacy's social function, how it underlies a democratic society, and what happens when it is lost. They also explore how intelligence and law-enforcement organizations work, how they intercept communications, and how they use what they intercept

Surveillance or security? : the risks posed by new wiretapping technologies by Susan Eva Landau( )

24 editions published between 2010 and 2013 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,730 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Focuses on the possibility of creating serious security risks by housing wiretapping within communication infrastructure and whether widespread communications surveillance enhances or endangers national security. Landau explains that understanding whether building wiretapping into communication infrastructure keeps us safe requires that we understand the technology, economics, law, and policy issues of communication surveillance technologies. She offers a set of principles to govern wiretapping policy that will allow us to protect our national security as well as our freedom

Listening in : cybersecurity in an insecure age by Susan Eva Landau( Book )

9 editions published between 2017 and 2019 in English and held by 550 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"New technologies have provided both incredible convenience and new threats. The same kinds of digital networks that allow you to hail a ride using your smartphone let power grid operators control a country's electricity--and these personal, corporate, and government systems are all vulnerable. In Ukraine, unknown hackers shut off electricity to nearly 230,000 people for six hours. North Korean hackers destroyed networks at Sony Pictures in retaliation for a film that mocked Kim Jong-un. And Russian cyberattackers leaked Democratic National Committee emails in an attempt to sway a U.S. presidential election. And yet despite such documented risks, government agencies, whose investigations and surveillance are stymied by encryption, push for a weakening of protections. In this accessible and riveting read, Susan Landau makes a compelling case for the need to secure our data, explaining how we must maintain cybersecurity in an insecure age."--Inside dust jacket

Privacy on the Line by Whitfield Diffie( )

5 editions published between 1998 and 2010 in English and Undetermined and held by 241 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

A penetrating and insightful study of privacy and security in telecommunications for a post-9/11, post-Patriot Act world.Telecommunication has never been perfectly secure. The Cold War culture of recording devices in telephone receivers and bugged embassy offices has been succeeded by a post-9/11 world of NSA wiretaps and demands for data retention. Although the 1990s battle for individual and commercial freedom to use cryptography was won, growth in the use of cryptography has been slow. Meanwhile, regulations requiring that the computer and communication industries build spying into their systems for government convenience have increased rapidly. The application of the 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act has expanded beyond the intent of Congress to apply to voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and other modern data services; attempts are being made to require ISPs to retain their data for years in case the government wants it; and data mining techniques developed for commercial marketing applications are being applied to widespread surveillance of the population.In Privacy on the Line, Whitfield Diffie and Susan Landau strip away the hype surrounding the policy debate over privacy to examine the national security, law enforcement, commercial, and civil liberties issues. They discuss the social function of privacy, how it underlies a democratic society, and what happens when it is lost. This updated and expanded edition revises their original--and prescient--discussions of both policy and technology in light of recent controversies over NSA spying and other government threats to communications privacy

Polynomial decomposition algorithms by Dexter Kozen( Book )

1 edition published in 1986 in English and held by 3 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

In a recent paper [BZ], Barton and Zippel examine the question of when a polynomial $f(x)$ over a field of characteristic 0 has a nontrivial decomposition $f(x)=g(h(x))$. They give two exponential-time algorithms, both of which require polynomial factorization. We present an $O(s[superscript]{2}r\logr)$ algorithm, where $r$=deg $g$ and $s$ =deg $h$. The algorithm does not use polynomial factorization. We also show that the problem is in $NC$. In addition, we give a new structure theorem for testing decomposibility over any field. We apply this theorem to obtain an $NC$ algorithm for decomposing irreducible polynomials over finite fields and a subexponential algorithm for decomposing irreducible polynomials over any field
