Herbert Thompson; Scott Chase, "The Software Vulnerability Guide"
Charles River Media | 2005 | ISBN: 1584503580 | 354 pages | PDF | 5,4 MB

In today’s market, secure software is a must for consumers. Many developers, however, are not familiar with the techniques needed to produce secure code or detect existing vulnerabilities. The Software Vulnerability Guide focuses on the origin of most software vulnerabilities, including the bugs in the underlying software used to develop IT infrastructures and the Internet. Most of these security bugs (and the viruses, worms, and exploits that derive from them) started out as programmer mistakes. With this easy-to-use guide, professional programmers and testers will learn how to recognize and prevent these vulnerabilities before their software reaches the market. For each of the 30 common software vulnerabilities featured the authors provide a summary, description of how the vulnerability occurs, and famous examples of how it has been used. Tips on how to find and fix the vulnerability in software are also provided along with source code snippets, commentary, tools, and techniques in easy-to-read sidebars. This guide is a must-have for today’s software developers.

KEY FEATURES
* Includes coding examples in a variety of languages, including C, C++, Java, VB, .NET, scripting languages, and more
* Provides tips for uncovering vulnerabilities in a diverse array of systems, including what it may look like in code, and how the offending code can be fixed

Power Management of Digital Circuits in Deep Sub-Micron CMOS Technologies

Power Management of Digital Circuits in Deep Sub-Micron CMOS Technologies
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 183 | 2006-10-12 | ISBN 1402050801 | PDF | 3 MB

In the deep sub-micron regime, the power consumption has become one of the most important issues for competitive design of digital circuits. Due to dramatically increasing leakage currents, the power consumption does not take advantage of technology scaling as before. State-of-art power reduction techniques like the use of multiple supply and threshold voltages, transistor stack forcing and power gating are discussed with respect to implementation and power saving capability. Focus is given especially on technology dependencies, process variations and technology scaling. Design and implementation issues are discussed with respect to the trade-off between power reduction, performance degradation, and system level constraints. A complete top-down design flow is demonstrated for power gating techniques introducing new design methodologies for the switch sizing task and circuit blocks for data-retention and block activation. The leakage reduction ratio and the minimum power-down time are introduced as figures of merit to describe the power gating technique on system level and give a relation to physical circuit parameters.


Power Management of Digital Circuits in Deep Sub-Micron CMOS Technologies mainly deals with circuit design but also addresses the interface between circuit and system level design on the one side and between circuit and physical design on the other side.

Optics: Illuminating the Power of Light (Science and Technology in Focus)

Optics: Illuminating the Power of Light (Science and Technology in Focus)
Facts on File | 2006 | ISBN: 0816047049 | Pages: 208 | PDF | 3.05 MB

The energy of light carries much of the world's information from one place to another. Surgeons, dentists, dermatologists, and other medical professionals use light in its various forms to heal or repair the body. Business and industry rely on optical scanners and "electric eye" detectors to monitor production quality, maintain security, and keep track of sales and inventory. Simple electric signs advertise products and services and high-tech bundles of hair-thin glass fibers send voices and data around the world. All this and more is done with the power of light. Optics is one of the fundamental disciplines that has driven the technological and communications revolutions of the 20th century, and it literally defines what the world looks like today. Optics, a new volume in the Science and Technology in Focus series, provides an overview of the theory of light as it stands today, in language that students will find both interesting and easy-to-follow. Covering the history of optics as a science and as a technology, as well as showing the ways in which light has been put to work as a tool, this book discusses three of the great triumphs of optical physics in the 20th century in detail - the creation of laser light; the development of fiber optics and optical-based communication; and the progression towards optical computing, which is seen by many computer experts as the next great phase in information technology.

Information processing systems need sensors to acquire the physical, mechanical and chemical information to be able to function. For extended use of sensors in industrial production tools and consumer components, such as smart cars and smart homes, the reliability of the sensors should be improved and the cost dramatically reduced. The improvement of reliability, together with a reduction of cost, can only be achieved with smart sensor systems.

These systems combine the functions of sensors and interfaces, including sensors, signal conditioning A-D (analog to digital) conversion, and bus interfacing. Also, applications at a higher hierarchical level are included, such as self-testing, auto-calibration, data evaluation and identification. Developments into the integration of sensors with electronic circuitry to produce smart sensors and smart sensor systems are increasing as research in this field continues to expand.

Written by an internationally-recognized team of experts, this book reviews recent developments in the field of smart sensor systems, providing complete coverage of all important system aspects. It takes a multidisciplinary approach to the understanding, design and use of smart sensor systems, their building blocks and methods of signal processing. This book also contains:
