Cryptography is concerned with the construction of schemes that withstand any abuse. A cryptographic scheme is constructed so as to maintain a desired functionality, even under malicious attempts aimed at making it deviate from its prescribed behavior. The design of cryptographic systems must be based on firm foundations, whereas ad hoc approaches and heuristics are a very dangerous way to go. These foundations were developed mostly in the 1980s, in works that are all co-authored by Shafi Goldwasser and/or Silvio Micali. These works have transformed cryptography from an engineering discipline, lacking sound theoretical foundations, into a scientific field possessing a well-founded theory, which influences practice as well as contributes to other areas of theoretical computer science. This book celebrates these works, which were the basis for bestowing the 2012 A.M. Turing Award upon Shafi Goldwasser and Silvio Micali. A significant portion of this book reproduces some of these works, and another portion consists of scientific perspectives by some of their former students. The highlight of the book is provided by a few chapters that allow the readers to meet Shafi and Silvio in person. These include interviews with them, their biographies and their Turing Award lectures.

Wireless networks are growing rapidly. TCP is the most widely-used protocol on Internet and so optimizing TCP performance is very important for fast efficient data transfer. The different existing TCP variants and solutions they have not been analyzed together to identify the bottlenecks in wireless networks. TCP has a major problem in its congestion control algorithm which does not allow the flow to achieve the full available bandwidth on fast long-distance links. This problem has been studied in this paper using a new high speed congestion control TCP protocol based on the Newton Raphson algorithm This paper further analyses involving six TCP performance evaluation constraints namely, TCP full bandwidth utilization, throughput, packet loss rate, fairness in sharing bandwidth, friendliness in short-RTT and long-RTT and these constraints are used to evaluate the proposed NRC-TCP(Newton Raphson Congestion Control) performance. This study shows that the proposed algorithm performs better compared with the other methods of application.

This paper presents a novel control algorithm for tracking of nonlinear dynamic systems. The tracking problem leads to linearized time-varying error equations. Hence new eigenvalue notions are introduced for linear time varying systems, and a PD eigenstructure assignment scheme is proposed for linear time-varying structure via a differential Sylvester equation. Also shown is that closed-loop systems could be stabilized by assigning PD-eigenvalues appropriately, and a desired performance could be obtained by assigning the PD-eigenvectors according to the design specifications. The present control algorithm has an internal framework for testing the controllability of the time varying system via Lyapunov transform. The algorithm proposed is very general, and in principle applicable to systems of any order of complexity with any degree or kind of nonlinearity. An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle flight control application for a real aircraft is presented to validate the proposed algorithm.

Ryo Kikuuwe and Hideo Fujimoto introduce the Proxy-based sliding mode control (PSMC), which is a control algorithm intended for position control of robotic systems. This paper implements PSMC at the Cartesian space of a movable platform of 2 degree of freedom (2-DOF). Numerical co-simulations in Matlab/Simulink ® and MSC-ADAMS ® framework demonstrate the good performance of the system in motion control application.

A multi-robot team can be endowed with a sensing graph whose edges indicate when one robot is visible to another. Visibility enables the robots to measure each others' relative position. The performance of different multi-robot coordination algorithms are therefore dependent on the connectivity properties of the sensing graph. Many coordination methods assume that the sensing graph is undirected. When the robots are equipped with limited field-of-view sensors, the sensing graph becomes directed. This paper provides a control algorithm to maintain the strong connectivity of a directed sensing graph in the presence of bounded persistent disturbances.
