Summary

"PKCS#11 Applications and Implementation""PKCS#11 Applications and Implementation" delivers a comprehensive exploration of the PKCS#11 standard, demystifying the principles, API architecture, and cryptographic mechanisms that underpin secure applications worldwide. Beginning with the origins and evolution of PKCS#11, the book illuminates core concepts including tokens, slots, and session management, while unpacking the interoperability and extensibility that have positioned PKCS#11 as the cornerstone of vendor-neutral cryptographic systems. Readers gain clarity on the object model, provider architecture, and design philosophies that have guided decades of industry adoption.Bridging theory to practice, this volume serves as an indispensable reference for developers and architects integrating PKCS#11 into their security infrastructures. It covers in detail the diverse suite of cryptographic operations available—spanning symmetric and asymmetric encryption, key management, elliptic curve cryptography, and secure random generation—while emphasizing secure object lifecycle management, error handling, and compliance with evolving regulatory mandates. Practical guidance on integration patterns empowers readers to leverage PKCS#11 in modern environments, from middleware and enterprise key management to smartcards, hardware security modules, and cloud-based solutions.Rounding out its scope, the book addresses the realities of deploying PKCS#11 at scale, providing in-depth strategies for testing, performance tuning, threat mitigation, and high-availability architectures. The final chapters look forward, offering an authoritative perspective on future ecosystem trends, quantum-safe cryptography, and long-term maintenance considerations. Whether you are a systems engineer, application developer, or security professional, "PKCS#11 Applications and Implementation" equips you with the insights and tools necessary to build robust, interoperable, and future-ready cryptographic solutions.

    Women physicists and astronomers from around the world have transformed science and society, but the critical roles they played in their fields are not always well-sung. Her Space, Her Time, authored by award-winning quantum physicist Shohini Ghose, brings together the stories of these remarkable women to celebrate their indelible scientific contributions. 
 
 
 
In each chapter, Ghose explores a scientific topic and explains how the women featured revolutionized that area of physics and astronomy. In doing so, she also addresses particular aspects of women's experiences in physics and astronomy: in the chapter on time, for instance, we learn of Henrietta Leavitt and Margaret Burbidge, who helped discover the big bang and the cosmic calendar; in the chapter on space exploration, we learn of Anigaduwagi (Cherokee) aerospace scientist Mary Golda Ross, who helped make the Moon landings possible; and in the chapter on subatomic particles, we learn of Marietta Blau, Hertha Wambacher, and Bibha Chowdhuri, who contributed to the discovery of the building blocks of the universe. 
 
 
 
Her Space, Her Time is a story of scientific innovation, inspirational leadership, and overcoming invisibility that will leave a lasting impression on any listener curious about the rule-breakers and trendsetters who illuminated our understanding of the universe.

    Better Never to Have Been - The...

    Most people believe that they were either benefited or at least not harmed by being brought into existence. Thus, if they ever do reflect on whether they should bring others into existence—rather than having children without even thinking about whether they should—they presume that they do them no harm. Better Never to Have Been challenges these assumptions. David Benatar argues that coming into existence is always a serious harm. Those who never exist cannot be deprived. However, by coming into existence one does suffer quite serious harms that could not have befallen one had one not come into existence. Drawing on the relevant psychological literature, the author shows that there are a number of well-documented features of human psychology that explain why people systematically overestimate the quality of their lives and why they are thus resistant to the suggestion that they were seriously harmed by being brought into existence. The author then argues for the "anti-natal" view—that it is always wrong to have children—and he shows that combining the anti-natal view with common pro-choice views about fetal moral status yield a "pro-death" view about abortion. Although counter-intuitive for many, that implication is defended, not least by showing that it solves many conundrums of moral theory about population.

    This timely book explores the alarming rise of ransomware: malicious software blocking users from their systems or data until they've paid money to regain access or to prevent the release of sensitive information. High-profile British examples of the twenty-first century have targeted national libraries and healthcare organizations; in the US, hackers of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley Health Network held patient data hostage—when their demands went unmet, they published topless photographs of women with breast cancer. 
 
 
 
The issue presents formidable challenges and costs for businesses, national security and, as the Pennsylvania case showed, individuals—often society's most vulnerable. But we can watch and learn from cyber extortionists, leaving us better prepared for next time. In 2022, a series of devastating ransomware attacks prompted Costa Rica's president to declare a national emergency, describing a "state of war." This episode had much to tell us about how these networks arise, operate, organize—and collapse. 
 
 
 
Max Smeets's landmark study demystifies the ransomware playbook, from funding to networking. Through one of the largest ransomware operations on record, he reveals how this challenge has evolved, how it differs in substance and style from traditional cyber/hacking threats, and how to combat it.

    *Walter Russell's* *A New Concept of the Universe* offers a revolutionary perspective on the nature of reality, blending science, philosophy, and metaphysics to present a unified model of the cosmos. In this groundbreaking work, Russell challenges conventional scientific theories about atomic structure, energy, and matter, proposing instead a dynamic, rhythmic universe governed by principles of balance and unity. He emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things, where opposites such as light and darkness, motion and stillness, continually interplay to sustain the cosmic order. Russell's work seeks to bridge the gap between science and spirituality, offering readers a profound understanding of the universe's underlying intelligence and the role of consciousness in shaping reality. Through this book, he invites readers to reconsider humanity's place in the cosmos and embrace a more holistic vision of existence.
