Identifying Malicious Code Through Reverse Engineering (Advances in Information Security (44))

Research oriented non-repudiation protocols have been active since the beginning of this millennium. It is time to take a step forward and realize that in many applications there are more than two entities. Secure Multi-Party Non-Repudiation Protocols and Applications supports this statement.This volume provides state of the art in non-repudiation protocols and gives insight of its applicability to e-commerce applications. This professional book organizes the existing scant literature regarding non-repudiation protocols with multiple entities participation. It provides the reader with sufficient grounds to understand the non-repudiation property and its applicability to real applications.Secure Multi-Party Non-Repudiation Protocols and Applications is essential for professional audiences with in-depth knowledge of information security and a basic knowledge of applied cryptography. This book is also suitable as an advanced-level text or reference book for students in computer science. Attacks take place everyday with computers connected to the internet, because of worms, viruses or due to vulnerable software. These attacks result in a loss of millions of dollars to businesses across the world. Identifying Malicious Code through Reverse Engineering provides information on reverse engineering and concepts that can be used to identify the malicious patterns in vulnerable software. The malicious patterns are used to develop signatures to prevent vulnerability and block worms or viruses. This book also includes the latest exploits through various case studies. Identifying Malicious Code through Reverse Engineering is designed for professionals composed of practitioners and researchers writing signatures to prevent virus and software vulnerabilities. This book is also suitable for advanced-level students in computer science and engineering studying information security, as a secondary textbook or reference.
