'Eine Pause im Irrsinn.Noch eine Anstrengung, das Aussterben zu verhindern,in einer seltsamen Entschlossenheit vereint.Es ist der letzte Versuch.'Sibylle Bergs neuer Roman setzt da an, wo 'GRM' endet - in unserer neoliberalen Absurdität, in der der Einzelne machtlos scheint. Der Kapitalismus ist alternativlos geworden. Das beste aller Systeme hat wenigen zu absurdem Reichtum verholfen und sehr vielen ein menschenwürdiges Dasein genommen. Die Krise ist der Normalzustand, Ausbeutung heißt nicht mehr 'Kolonialismus' sondern 'Förderung strukturschwacher Länder'. Inflation, Seuchen, Kriege, Diktatoren, Naturkatastrophen, Müllberge. Und die Menschheit vereint nur noch in ihrer Todessehnsucht. Die Lage scheint ausweglos. Aber in einem abhörsicheren Container brennt noch Licht. Fünf Hacker programmieren die Weltrettung.Manchmal gibt es diese historischen Momente, in denen Mauern eingerissen werden, Frauen studieren und wählen dürfen, Rassismus nur noch in einigen Köpfen existiert, Geschlechter keine Rolle mehr spielen, in denen verschwindet, was Menschen für hundert Jahre für ein Naturgesetz hielten.

This book journeys through the labyrinth of usable privacy, a place where the interplay of privacy and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) reveals a myriad of challenges, solutions, and new possibilities. Establishing a solid understanding of usable privacy research, practices, and challenges, the book illuminates for readers the often shadowy corridors of such a multifaceted domain and offers guidelines and solutions to successfully traverse the challenging maze. The book does not simply focus on data protection or legislative frameworks but also on what it takes for privacy to be safeguarded, understood, embraced, and easily practiced by all. It begins with a thorough exploration of the background of privacy tools and technologies, the evolution of privacy rules and regulations, and the backdrop upon which this narrative unfolds. After establishing this context, its next important focus is the current state and future directions of the field, including thefrontiers of usable privacy research in relation to the Internet of Things (IoT), usability of PETs, and usable privacy for UX and software developers. The book also considers the often-overlooked privacy narratives of marginalized communities and delves into the complexities of user-centric privacy. Readers are provided with a blueprint for addressing these hurdles and establishing pathways for a more privacy-conscious world. The text will be of interest to students studying Computer Science, Information Systems, or Law, as well as researchers and practitioners working in the fields of usable privacy, privacy by design, Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs), or HCI. All will benefit from the book's central deliberation of a question that echoes through time and technological advancements: why does usable privacy matter?

'Data Collection in the Investigative Process and Constitutional Restrictions': Even under today's technology conditions authorization norms for data collection in criminal investigation should be designed according to the principles of clarity and proportionality. However, recent developments in Germany and South Korea have been overly skewed towards effective criminal investigation. New investigative measures should be actively accepted parallel to the change in reality, but at the same time, procedural controls to prevent excessive violation of character should also be secured.

This book teaches readers how wireless networks work, why some of their properties impact wireless network performance at the application level, and what both network engineers and application developers can do to cope with these challenges. Internet users increasingly rely on wireless access links for diverse tasks such as web browsing, video conferencing, interactive games, and data sharing. Irrespective of how they access the Internet, they expect good performance and a high quality of experience. Unfortunately, wireless access networks are much more challenging to build than wired networks. In wired networks, signals used for communication are contained in a carefully engineered transmission medium. In contrast, wireless signals travel in our physical environment, where the presence of obstacles, interference, and mobility can affect communication. In addition, network performance can differ significantly across physical environments. As a result, the performance of wireless links is often lower and less predictable than that of wired links. The author structured the book according to the layers in the Internet protocol stack, similar to traditional network books. However, rather than presenting a general description of each layer, the focus is on wireless networks and how they differ from wired networks.

This book provides a thorough overview of the evolution of privacy-preserving machine learning schemes over the last ten years, after discussing the importance of privacy-preserving techniques. In response to the diversity of Internet services, data services based on machine learning are now available for various applications, including risk assessment and image recognition. In light of open access to datasets and not fully trusted environments, machine learning-based applications face enormous security and privacy risks. In turn, it presents studies conducted to address privacy issues and a series of proposed solutions for ensuring privacy protection in machine learning tasks involving multiple parties. In closing, the book reviews state-of-the-art privacy-preserving techniques and examines the security threats they face.

Perfectly-secure cryptography is a branch of information-theoretic cryptography. A perfectly-secure cryptosystem guarantees that the malicious third party cannot guess anything regarding the plain text or the key, even in the case of full access to the cipher text. Despite this advantage, there are only a few real-world implementations of perfect secrecy due to some well-known limitations. Any simple, straightforward modeling can pave the way for further advancements in the implementation, especially in environments with time and resource constraints such as IoT. This book takes one step towards this goal via presenting a hybrid combinatorial-Boolean model for perfectly-secure cryptography in IoT. In this book, we first present an introduction to information-theoretic cryptography as well as perfect secrecy and its real-world implementations. Then we take a systematic approach to highlight information-theoretic cryptography as a convergence point for existing trends in research on cryptography in IoT. Then we investigate combinatorial and Boolean cryptography and show how they are seen almost everywhere in the ecosystem and the life cycle of information-theoretic IoT cryptography. We finally model perfect secrecy in IoT using Boolean functions, and map the Boolean functions to simple, well-studied combinatorial designs like Latin squares.This book is organized in two parts. The first part studie s information-theoretic cryptography and the promise it holds for cryptography in IoT. The second part separately discusses combinatorial and Boolean cryptography, and then presents the hybrid combinatorial-Boolean model for perfect secrecy in IoT.
