Disruptive Security Technologies with Mobile Code and Peer-to-Peer Networks

R.R. Brooks9780849322723, 0-8493-2272-3

This book presents initial steps towards creating secure systems that overcome attacks through adaptation. It provides a model explaining mobile code and methods for designing robust peer-to-peer networks. Methods are provided for implementing adaptive systems designed to tolerate many current attacks. After early chapters providing background on computer security, the book describes recent advances in relevant technology, and provides results from research programs.
