Hardware Security: A Hands-On Learning Approach provides a broad, comprehensive and practical overview of hardware security that encompasses all levels of the electronic hardware infrastructure. It covers basic concepts like advanced attack techniques and countermeasures that are illustrated through theory, case studies and well-designed, hands-on laboratory exercises for each key concept. The book is ideal as a textbook for upper-level undergraduate students studying computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, and biomedical engineering, but is also a handy reference for graduate students, researchers and industry professionals. For academic courses, the book contains a robust suite of teaching ancillaries. Users will be able to access schematic, layout and design files for a printed circuit board for hardware hacking (i.e. the HaHa board) that can be used by instructors to fabricate boards, a suite of videos that demonstrate different hardware vulnerabilities, hardware attacks and countermeasures, and a detailed description and user manual for companion materials. - Provides a thorough overview of computer hardware, including the fundamentals of computer systems and the implications of security risks - Includes discussion of the liability, safety and privacy implications of hardware and software security and interaction - Gives insights on a wide range of security, trust issues and emerging attacks and protection mechanisms in the electronic hardware lifecycle, from design, fabrication, test, and distribution, straight through to supply chain and deployment in the field - A full range of instructor and student support materials can be found on the authors' own website for the book: http://hwsecuritybook.org
In 'World of Oil Derivatives' Greg Newman breaks down the inner workings of financial oil markets and how to navigate their intricacies. Whether you are looking for a better understanding of the market’s evolution or some help with trading – this book is the ultimate guide to one of the world’s most complex and opaque industries. After three years of turmoil, oil markets continue to grip the world's attention with unprecedented negative prices to inflation inducing highs. Meanwhile, the global economy has become increasingly financialised. Sagas like the short squeeze on GameStop and rampant speculation on cryptocurrency have become the market norm, and markets have been driven away from their traditional fundamentals and into the hands of the collective market sentiment. The financial oil markets have grown so much over the last decade, they are now recognised as the driving force behind what sets the world’s largest traded commodity. Often described as 'opaque', this financial market is still widely misunderstood with little research or literature available. This book fills that void, with a comprehensive look at the architecture of the financial oil market and a guide to navigating its intricacies. World of Oil Derivatives will resonate with newcomers to the oil market, but will also educate a wider audience; traders, policymakers and journalists seeking to understand this area of growing importance.
