Book excerpt: Forged in the secretive world of covert operations, Unlocking Secrets uses real crime and practical examples to reveal the new frontier in interpersonal communications: advanced psychological skills. Thanks to this book, these skills can now be used by anyone who wants to improve their interpersonal and communication repertoire. In Unlocking Secrets, David Craig has simplified the psychological methods used so effectively by criminal investigators and covert operatives to persuade others to reveal their secrets. He shows how these skills can be easily applied to benefit in everyday professional and personal situations. These secret-revealing techniques subtly influence people to share hidden information, and may assist people working with patients, clients, children or friends who carry a difficult and burdensome secret. They can also be used to improve business knowledge, as well as to initiate and enrich personal relationships. Unlocking Secrets will arm people with the latest interpersonal skills to enrich their personal life and advance professional careers.
Download or read book The Entity written by Eric Frattini and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2008-11-25 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Bestseller "A true story that surpasses any novel by John le Carré."—El País (Spain) For five centuries, the Vatican—the oldest organization in the world, maker of kings and shaper of history—has used a secret spy service, called the Holy Alliance, or later, the Entity, to carry out its will. Forty popes have relied on it to carry out their policies. They have played a hitherto invisible role confronting de-Christianizations and schisms, revolutions and dictators, colonizations and expulsions, persecutions and attacks, civil wars and world wars, assassinations and kidnappings. For the first time in English (following the bestselling Spanish and French editions), Eric Frattini tells the comprehensive tale of this sacred secret service. The Entity has been involved in the killings of monarchs, poisonings of diplomats, financing of South American dictators, protection of war criminals, laundering of Mafia money, manipulation of financial markets, provocation of bank failures, and financing of arms sales to combatants even as their wars were condemned, all in the name of God. The contradiction between God's justice and Earth's justice, Christian beliefs and Christian power all fall before the motto of the Entity: With the Cross and the Sword.

Download or read book Mathematical Principles of the Internet Two Volume Set written by Nirdosh Bhatnagar and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-03-18 with total page 1773 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume set on Mathematical Principles of the Internet provides a comprehensive overview of the mathematical principles of Internet engineering. The books do not aim to provide all of the mathematical foundations upon which the Internet is based. Instead, these cover only a partial panorama and the key principles. Volume 1 explores Internet engineering, while the supporting mathematics is covered in Volume 2. The chapters on mathematics complement those on the engineering episodes, and an effort has been made to make this work succinct, yet self-contained. Elements of information theory, algebraic coding theory, cryptography, Internet traffic, dynamics and control of Internet congestion, and queueing theory are discussed. In addition, stochastic networks, graph-theoretic algorithms, application of game theory to the Internet, Internet economics, data mining and knowledge discovery, and quantum computation, communication, and cryptography are also discussed. In order to study the structure and function of the Internet, only a basic knowledge of number theory, abstract algebra, matrices and determinants, graph theory, geometry, analysis, optimization theory, probability theory, and stochastic processes, is required. These mathematical disciplines are defined and developed in the books to the extent that is needed to develop and justify their application to Internet engineering.

Download or read book Entity Authentication and Personal Privacy in Future Cellular Systems written by Geir M. Koien and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are now (Q1 2009) more than 4 billion cellular subscribers in the world and this number is constantly growing. With this in mind it should be clear that use of mobile communication has already become both pervasive and ubiquitous. It has become a global commodity really. Entity Authentication and Personal Privacy in Future Cellular Systems aims at explaining and examining access security as it is found in mobile/cellular systems. A thorough investigation of how access security and personal privacy is handled in the 3GPP system is conducted. This includes both the 2G systems GSM/GPRS and the 3G system UMTS. The emerging fourth generation LTE architecture is also examined. The first part of the book deals exclusively with presenting access security as found in the 3GPP system. Particular attention is given to the authentication and key agreement procedures. The 3GPP systems have evolved and the access security architecture in LTE is substantially more advanced and mature than what you would find in GSM/GPRS, but even the LTE security architecture has its limitations. In part two of the book we go on to examine what is missing from the current cellular access security architectures. Some of the shortcomings found in GSM/GPRS and later UMTS have been partially addressed in LTE, but the burden of backwards compatibility has meant that many issues could not easily be resolved. Free from those restrictions, we shall see that one can provide substantially improved subscriber privacy and enhanced entity authentication, while also avoiding the delegated authentication control that all 3GPP systems have.The design of authentication protocols is discussed in depth, and this would also include looking into the role of formal verification in the design of security protocols.

Download or read book Next Generation Society Technological and Legal Issues written by Alexander B. Sideridis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-01-30 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments in information and communication technology (ICT) have paved the way for a world of advanced communication, intelligent information processing and ubiquitous access to information and services. The ability to work, communicate, interact, conduct business, and enjoy digital entertainment virtually anywhere is r- idly becoming commonplace due to a multitude of small devices, ranging from mobile phones and PDAs to RFID tags and wearable computers. The increasing number of connected devices and the proliferation of networks provide no indication of a sl- down in this tendency. On the negative side, misuse of this same technology entails serious risks in various aspects, such as privacy violations, advanced electronic crime, cyber terrorism, and even enlargement of the digital divide. In extreme cases it may even threaten basic principles and human rights. The aforementioned issues raise an important question: Is our society ready to adopt the technological advances in ubiq- tous networking, next-generation Internet, and pervasive computing? To what extent will it manage to evolve promptly and efficiently to a next-generation society, ado- ing the forthcoming ICT challenges? The Third International ICST Conference on e-Democracy held in Athens, Greece during September 23–25, 2009 focused on the above issues. Through a compreh- sive list of thematic areas under the title “Next-Generation Society: Technological and Legal issues,” the 2009 conference provided comprehensive reports and stimulated discussions on the technological, ethical, legal, and political challenges ahead of us.
