  In the era of Internet of Things and with the explosive worldwide growth of
electronic data volume, and associated need of processing, analysis and storage
of such humongous volume of data, several new challenges are faced in
protecting privacy of sensitive data and securing systems by designing novel
schemes for secure authentication, integrity protection, encryption and
non-repudiation. Lightweight symmetric key cryptography and adaptive network
security algorithms are in demand for mitigating these challenges. This book
presents some of the state-of-the-art research work in the field of
cryptography and security in computing and communications. It is a valuable
source of knowledge for researchers, engineers, practitioners, graduate and
doctoral students who are working in the field of cryptography, network
security and security and privacy issues in the Internet of Things (IoT), and
machine learning application in security. It will also be useful for faculty
members of graduate schools and universities.
