On the other hand it has created many opportunities for abuse, fraud and expensive damage.

The level of the individual contributions in the volume is advanced and suitable for senior and graduate students, researchers and technologists who wish to get some feeling of the state of the art in several sub-disciplines of Cyberspace security.
