Homeland security technology challenges : from sensing and encrypting to mining and modeling / Giorgio Franceschetti, Marina Grossi, editors.

Includes bibliographical reference (pages 275-278) and index.

The homeland security scenario -- Embedded wireless sensor networks -- Visual detection and classification of humans, their pose, and their motion -- Cyber security basic defenses and attack trends -- Mining databases and data streams -- Private information retrieval : single-database techniques and applications -- Tapping vehicle sensors for homeland security -- Modeling and analysis of wireless networked systems -- Large systems modeling and simulation.

This practical book offers you expert guidance on sensors and the preprocessing of sensed data, the handling of sensed data with secure and safe procedures, and the design, modeling and simulation of complex HS systems. You learn how to store, encrypt and mine sensitive data. Further, the book shows how data is transmitted and received along wired or wireless networks, operating on electromagnetic channels.
