Both misinformation and disinformation lead to lasting misperceptions that can pose dangers to the public. While information manipulation has always existed, modern technology allows for misinformation to spread further and quicker than ever before. Especially during times in which misinformation has a greater potential reach and a more captivated audience, it is important to recognize its impact on society. Information Manipulation and Its Impact Across All Industries focuses on information manipulation in different areas including finance and economy, health, society, and more. It considers the effects of misinformation and disinformation on organizations, human resources, citizens, and governments. Additionally, it describes detection models and approaches of misinformation and disinformation as well as anti-misinformation actions, policies, and laws. Covering topics such as cybersecurity, online health misinformation, and social capital, this book is a dynamic resource for managers, engineers, researchers, lecturers, advanced students, professors, academicians, and professional institutions.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Cryptographer's Track at the RSA Conference 2016, CT-RSA 2016, held in San Francisco, CA, USA, in February/March 2016. The 26 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 76 submissions. The focus of the track is on following subjects: secure key exchange schemes, authenticated encryption, searchable symmetric encryption, digital signatures with new functionality, secure multi party computation, how to verify procedures, side-channel attacks on elliptic curve cryptography, hardware attacks and security, structure-preserving signatures, lattice cryptography, cryptanalysis of symmetric key encryption, message authentication code and PRF-security, and security of public key encryption.
Autonomous robot vehicles are vehicles capable of intelligent motion and action without requiring either a guide or teleoperator control. The recent surge of interest in this subject will grow even grow further as their potential applications increase. Autonomous vehicles are currently being studied for use as reconnaissance/exploratory vehicles for planetary exploration, undersea, land and air environments, remote repair and maintenance, material handling systems for offices and factories, and even intelligent wheelchairs for the disabled. This reference is the first to deal directly with the unique and fundamental problems and recent progress associated with autonomous vehicles. The editors have assembled and combined significant material from a multitude of sources, and, in effect, now conviniently provide a coherent organization to a previously scattered and ill-defined field.
The Seventh International Conference on Information and Communications - curity,ICICS2005,washeldinBeijing,China,10-13December2005. TheICICS conference series is an established forum for exchanging new research ideas and development results in the areas of information security and applied crypt- raphy. The ?rst event began here in Beijing in 1997. Since then the conference series has been interleaving its venues in China and the rest of the world: ICICS 1997 in Beijing, China; ICICS 1999 in Sydney, Australia; ICICS 2001 in Xi’an, China; ICICS 2002 in Singapore; ICICS 2003 in Hohhot City, China; and ICICS 2004 in Malaga, Spain. The conference proceedings of the past events have - ways been published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, with volume numbers, respectively: LNCS 1334,LNCS 1726,LNCS 2229, LNCS 2513, LNCS 2836, and LNCS 3269. ICICS 2005 was sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS); the Beijing Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant No. 4052016; the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants No. 60083007 and No. 60573042;the NationalGrandFundamentalResearch973ProgramofChina under Grant No. G1999035802, and Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, China. The conference was organized and hosted by the Engineering Research Center for Information Security Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ERCIST, CAS) in co-operation with the International Communications and Information Security Association (ICISA). The aim of the ICICS conference series has been to o?er the attendees the opportunity to discuss the latest developments in theoretical and practical - pects of information and communications security.
In 2008/09, the first year of operation, the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) met its objective of driving a market for biofuels in the UK. 2.7% of the UK's total road transport fuel supply was biofuel which was slightly over the Government's target of 2.5% and is more than twice the supply of biofuel in 2007/08/. No obligated suppliers pad to 'buy-out' of their obligations. The performance of suppliers in sourcing sustainable fuels was polarised. Whilst several companies met all three of the Government sourcing targets with fully verified data a number also performed poorly. Overall a significant improvement will be required to meet the challenges of the forthcoming EU Renewable Energy Directive. In 2008/09 there was also a 46% carbon saving against the Government target of 40%. The biofuels market has not as yet had a large impact on agriculture in the UK and although an effective driver of the market for biofuel, the RTFO did not, during 2008/09, drive increases in the biofuel production capacity in the UK.
