Biographie:
Marcelo Sampaio de Alencar was born in Serrita, Brazil in 1957. He received his Bachelor Degree in Electrical Engineering, from Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE), Brazil, 1980, his Master Degree in Electrical Engineering, from Universidade Federal da Paraiba (UFPB), Brazil, 1988, and his Ph.D. from University of Waterloo, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Canada, 1994. Marcelo S. de Alencar has more than 30 years of engineering experience, and 24 years as an IEEE Member, currently as Senior Member. For 18 years he worked for the Department of Electrical Engineering, Federal University of Paraiba, where he was Full Professor and supervised 46 graduate and several undergraduate students. Since 2003, he is Chair Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Federal University of Campina Grande, Brazil. Previously, he worked, between 1982 and 1984, for the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC). He spent some time working for MCI-Embratel and University of Toronto, as Visiting Professor. He is founder and President of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Communications (Iecom), founder and Vice-President of the Academy of Sciences of Paraiba (ACParaiba). He has been awarded several scholarships and grants, including three scholarships and several research grants from the Brazilian National Council for Scienti?c and Technological Research (CNPq), a scholarship from the University of Waterloo, a scholarship from the Federal University of Paraiba, an achievement award for contributions to the Brazilian Telecommunications Society (SBrT), an award from the Medicine College of the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG) and an achievement award from the College of Engineering of the Federal University of Pernambuco, during its 110th year celebration. His biography is included in the following publications: Whos Who in the World and Whos Who in Science and Engineering, by Marquis Whos Who, New Providence, USA. Marcelo S. Alencar is a laureate of the 2014 Attilio Giarola Medal. Marcelo S. de Alencar served on the Board of Directors of the Brazilian Telecommunications Society (SBrT), as Vice-President External Relations, for two decades. He also served on the Council of the Brazilian Microwave and Optoelectronics Society (SBMO). He is member of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineering (Japan), member of the Brazilian Microwave and Optoelectronics Society, member of SBPC (Brazilian Society for the Advancement of Science) and member of SBEB (Brazilian Society for Biomedical Engineering). He published over 350 engineering and scienti?c papers and 19 books....

Sommaire:
Starting with the historical facts behind the concept of information, which led to the creation of computer networks, Internet of things and cryptocurrencies, the book then arrives at the main definitions of cryptography and network security, the protocols that keep the systems running and the cybercrimes that could disrupt the systems. The basics of information theory, how to measure information, and the information associated with a source are discussed. Source codes are presented, along with the concepts of information transmission, joint information, conditional entropy, mutual information and channel capacity. Computer networks are discussed, including the main protocols and network architectures, and the important TCP/IP protocol. Network security, a topic intrinsically connected to computer networks and the Internet, is presented, along with information about basic hacker attacks, alternatives to prevent attacks, data protection and secure protocols. The information theoretical aspects of cryptography are described including the hash function. Appendices include a review of probability theory, a discussion of cryptoalgorithms and cryptosystems, and a glossary of information security terms. Illustrations and graphics help the reader understand the theory....
