Everyone needs security: Nations need national security, corporations need corporate security, individuals need personal security, cybersecurity, AI security. What is the common denominator of these security concepts?
Security and science are the building blocks of the modern civilization. Science gave us the powers to change the world. Security should protect us from abuses of those powers. Yet humans have been hesitant to apply the methods of science to the problems of security. This core security-science (SecSci) textbook is a step in that direction.
While many students pursue security out of genuine interest, most security curricula are plastered with industry buzzwords and policy slogans, driven by market incentives and government funding. The result is the attackers get richer, and their victims get poorer—while security experts inhabit the realm of informal narratives in-between. Before joining the fray, some students want to understand it. This textbook arose from the authors' efforts to cater to such students by peeling off the veils of expertise and replacing them with explanations and simple mathematical models.
Topics, goals and features:
This uniquely informative textbook provides supporting materials for undergraduate and graduate courses on security, privacy, and trust. The early chapters introduce the basic concepts at the beginner level. The later chapters require some technical confidence and intellectual maturity. The book can also be used as an entry point into SecSci research.
The authors are professors at the Department of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.
Dusko Pavlovic was born in Sarajevo, studied mathematics and programming in Utrecht, taught at McGill, Imperial College London, Oxford, and Royal Holloway, before joining University of Hawaii in 2014. In the meantime, he also spent 12 years talking about applications in Palo Alto CA. His research evolved from pure mathematics, through theoretical computer science and software engineering, to network computation and security, with excursions into quantum computation and game theory. He authored more than 100 articles, 2 books, and a play, so far. In his ample spare time he enjoys providing strategic advice to his 3 children and writing about himself in third person.
