Computer and network systems have given us unlimited opportunitiesof reducing cost, improving efficiency, and increasing revenues, asdemonstrated by an increasing number of computer and networkapplications. Yet, our dependence on computer and network systemshas also exposed us to new risks, which threaten the security of,and present new challenges for protecting our assets andinformation on computer and network systems. The reliability ofcomputer and network systems ultimately depends on security andquality of service (QoS) performance.
This book presents quantitative modeling and analysis techniquesto address these numerous challenges in cyber attack prevention anddetection for security and QoS, including:
* the latest research on computer and network behavior underattack and normal use conditions;
* new design principles and algorithms, which can be used byengineers and practitioners to build secure computer and networksystems, enhance security practice and move to providing QoSassurance on the Internet;
* mathematical and statistical methods for achieving the accuracyand timeliness of cyber attack detection with the lowestcomputational overhead;
* guidance on managing admission control, scheduling, reservationand service of computer and network jobs to assure the servicestability and end-to-end delay of those jobs even under Denial ofService attacks or abrupt demands.
Secure Computer and Network Systems: Modeling, Analysis andDesign is an up-to-date resource for practising engineers andresearchers involved in security, reliability and qualitymanagement of computer and network systems. It is also a must-readfor postgraduate students developing advanced technologies forimproving computer network dependability.
