Demystifying the Darknet: Technologies, Threats, and Trends
Description
The darknet has long been viewed as a mysterious and complex sector of the internet. While it is often associated with cybercrime and anonymous illicit activity, it also serves legitimate purposes in an increasingly connected and monitored digital world. Journalists, activists, whistleblowers, and individuals living under restrictive regimes may rely on the darknet to protect their identities, communications, and access to information. Beyond its controversial reputation, the darknet provides important tools for anonymity and secure communication for authorized users with legitimate needs. However, despite growing public attention and academic interest, there remains a lack of comprehensive resources that critically examine and demystify the capabilities and uses of the darknet.
Green Cybersecurity
Securing Sustainable Digital Transformation
Description
This volume offers a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between cybersecurity and sustainability, addressing how digital systems can be secured while minimizing energy consumption and environmental impact. It brings together foundational cybersecurity concepts with energy-efficient IoT protection, AI-based anomaly detection, federated learning, digital twin security, cloud resilience and cyber threat intelligence, all organized around the green cybersecurity lifecycle.
Spanning fifteen chapters across five thematic areas, this book progresses from cybersecurity foundations for sustainable digital transformation through green security for smart cities. It also includes AI and blockchain integration, lightweight IoMT authentication, secure smart contracts for green supply chains, energy-aware malware defense, deepfake detection for sustainable digital economies, privacy-preserving federated learning at the edge, digital twins for cyber-physical systems. Resilient cloud incident response is covered as well as scalable cyber threat intelligence, and human-centric security awareness, closing with an explainable transformer-based face forensics case study and a forward-looking chapter on strategic directions for secure and resilient digital ecosystems.
This book is an indispensable resource for cybersecurity researchers, IoT architects and sustainability-focused engineers. Policymakers working at the intersection of digital transformation and environmental strategy, and graduate students seeking to understand how the next generation of security systems must protect both digital assets and the planet's resources will also find this book a valuable recourse.

Efficient Algorithms for ECC Using New Coordinates Systems Over GF(P)
Qasem Abu Al-Haija (Author)
Description
The use of projective coordinates to define the Elliptic Curves (EC) instead of affine coordinates replaced the inversion operations by several multiplication operations. Many types of projective coordinates have been proposed for the elliptic curve E: y2= x3+ ax+ b which is defined over a field GF(p) to do EC arithmetic operations such as: Standard projective coordinates, Jacobean projective coordinates, Chudnovsky coordinates.
