This handbook introduces the basic principles and fundamentals of cyber security towards establishing an understanding of how to protect computers from hackers and adversaries. The highly informative subject matter of this handbook, includes various concepts, models, and terminologies along with examples and illustrations to demonstrate substantial technical details of the field. It motivates the readers to exercise better protection and defense mechanisms to deal with attackers and mitigate the situation. This handbook also outlines some of the exciting areas of future research where the existing approaches can be implemented.
Exponential increase in the use of computers as a means of storing and retrieving security-intensive information, requires placement of adequate security measures to safeguard the entire computing and communication scenario. With the advent of Internet and its underlying technologies, information security aspects are becoming a prime concern towards protecting the networks and the cyber ecosystem from variety of threats, which is illustrated in this handbook.
This handbook primarily targets professionals in security, privacy and trust to use and improve the reliability of businesses in a distributed manner, as well as computer scientists and software developers, who are seeking to carry out research and develop software in information and cyber security. Researchers and advanced-level students in computer science will also benefit from this reference.

Deepak Gupta received his Master of Science degree from Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, USA, in the area of Computer Forensics and Cyber Security with a specialization in Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP). As an undergraduate student, he became certified on the major networking platforms, first as a CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Administrator) and then as a MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) which would come to serve him well in his professional life. As a graduate student, Deepak continued to challenge himself by working on a number of research papers and projects related to Computer Network Security and Forensics Research, including the topics of multi-boot computer systems with change of boot loader and MP3 steganography. He also developed and furthered his interest in VOIP technology by working on and leading research projects with Bell Labs, a prominent VOIP research lab based in Chicago. Deepak also wrote research papers in this field on the topics of P2P communication and SIP protocols which won him the best student VOIP project award in 2007.
