Cyber Security in Parallel and Distributed Computing

The book contains several new concepts, techniques, applications and case studies for cyber securities in parallel and distributed computing

The main objective of this book is to explore the concept of cybersecurity in parallel and distributed computing along with recent research developments in the field. Also included are various real-time/offline applications and case studies in the fields of engineering and computer science and the modern tools and technologies used. Information concerning various topics relating to cybersecurity technologies is organized within the sixteen chapters of this book.

Some of the important topics covered include:

• Research and solutions for the problem of hidden image detection
• Security aspects of data mining and possible solution techniques
• A comparative analysis of various methods used in e-commerce security and how to perform secure payment transactions in an efficient manner
• Blockchain technology and how it is crucial to the security industry
• Security for the Internet of Things
• Security issues and challenges in distributed computing security such as heterogeneous computing, cloud computing, fog computing, etc.
• Demonstrates the administration task issue in unified cloud situations as a multi-target enhancement issue in light of security
• Explores the concepts of cybercrime and cybersecurity and presents the statistical impact it is having on organizations
• Security policies and mechanisms, various categories of attacks (e.g., denial-of-service), global security architecture, along with distribution of security mechanisms
• Security issues in the healthcare sector with existing solutions and emerging threats.
