Networking and Communications

TCP/IP Essentials

TCP/IP Essentials
A Lab-Based Approach

  • Shivendra S. Panwar, Shiwen Mao, Jeong-dong Ryoo, Yihan Li

The TCP/IP family of protocols has become the de facto standard in the world of networking. Found in virtually all computer communication systems, they form the basis of today's Internet. Including a series of carefully designed laboratory experiments that span the various elements of protocol definition and behavior, this book is a hands-on guide to TCP/IP technologies. The experiments are described in a Linux environment, with parallel notes on Solaris implementation. The book includes homework exercises, and supplementary material for instructors is available. It is aimed at electrical engineering and computer science students, and will also be ideal for engineers studying for networking certifications.

Secure Communicating Systems

Secure Communicating Systems
Design, Analysis, and Implementation

  • Michael R. A. Huth

This volume details what every computer scientist ought to know about cryptographic systems, security protocols, and secure information flow in programs. Highlights include discussions of the new advanced encryption standard "Rijndael"; an optimal public-key encryption using RSA which turns "textbook RSA" into a practical implementation; standard security models for information flow in computer programs or human organizations; and moral, legal, and political issues. Another novel feature is the presentation of a formal model-checking tool for specifying and debugging security protocols. A supporting web site http://www.cis.ksu.edu/~huth/scs contains Java source code for the programs featured plus links to other sites.

Mobile Computing Principles

Mobile Computing Principles
Designing and Developing Mobile Applications with UML and XML

  • Reza B'Far, Foreword by Roy T. Fielding

Written to address technical concerns that mobile developers face, this book explores the differences between mobile and stationary applications and the architectural and software development concepts needed to build mobile applications. Reza B'far guides the developer through the development process, using UML from design to implementation. He focuses on general concepts, while using platforms as examples or as possible tools. After introducing UML, XML, and the derivative tools necessary for developing mobile software applications, B'far demonstrates how to build user interfaces for mobile applications.
