Public Key Infrastructure Essentials - Definitive Reference for Developers and Engineers

Richard Johnson

Summary

"Public Key Infrastructure Essentials""Public Key Infrastructure Essentials" offers a comprehensive and accessible guide through the foundational and advanced realms of PKI, a critical pillar of modern information security. Beginning with a historical perspective on cryptographic trust models, the book demystifies core concepts such as certificates, certificate authorities, and the mathematical foundations of asymmetric cryptography. Readers learn not only how PKI underpins authentication, confidentiality, and non-repudiation across distributed systems, but also gain insights into its global regulatory landscape and the interplay of various PKI actors.The text transitions seamlessly into deep, practical explorations of operational PKI, addressing the lifecycles of digital certificates, robust certificate authority frameworks, and the security mechanisms necessary to protect and manage cryptographic keys. Architectural models are presented for on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployments, alongside guidance for high-availability design, business continuity, and policy governance. The book further provides actionable strategies for threat modeling, hardening PKI deployments, managing incidents, and navigating compliance within complex regulatory environments.Rounding out its extensive coverage, "Public Key Infrastructure Essentials" delves into the significant application domains of PKI—including web security, mobile and IoT integration, DevOps, and secure email—and addresses emerging challenges such as quantum resistance, blockchain-enabled identities, and privacy enhancement. A forward-looking final section examines future trends, automation and DevSecOps, and the convergence of identity and trust frameworks. This volume is an authoritative resource for security professionals, architects, and anyone responsible for safeguarding digital trust in today's interconnected world.

Artificial Intelligence And The...

Trevor Clinger

If you're looking for a comprehensive guide to the origins and current state of artificial intelligence, this book is for you. Artificial intelligence offers significant advantages to businesses and individuals by providing mental enhancements over competitors. While some speculate that AI will eventually dominate the world and surpass human intelligence, this book invites you to reconsider such notions. Drawing on my academic background, with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from Tiffin University and an Associate's Degree in Management Technology, I provide a balanced and insightful analysis of AI and its future implications.

Reimagining The Divine - A...

Dara Molloy

  
The globalised belief in one ‘God’ has become a problem. The prayer ‘Our Father in heaven’ presents an image that embodies the values of uniformity, exclusivity, patriarchy, authoritarianism and the absence of a sacred presence in nature. 
  
Here on earth, the climate and biodiversity emergencies foreshadow an apocalyptic future for humans and all life forms. To confront and resolve these emergencies, we need to apply values contrary to the ‘Father God’ image. The important values today include: diversity, inclusivity, gender justice, democracy and a recognition of the sacredness of nature. 
  
Can we find new spiritual images and narratives that embody these values? This book suggests we can. 
  
Reimagining the Divine is a call for diversity in belief. No religion has a monopoly of truth. Everyone’s experience and perspective has merit. 
  
The Spirituality of Experience is a form of mysticism that incorporates these new values. Practiced historically by Celtic monks, it focuses on one’s personal experience of the sacred, and not on beliefs or a creed. 
If your vision for the future is 
·     The return of humans to harmony with the rest of nature 
·     The building of a world community that is tolerant and inclusive 
·     Finding a way of living on this planet that corrects the human causes of climate change and biodiversity loss 
then this book may help you, and all of us, get there.

Third Ear - Reflections on the...

Elizabeth Rosner

This illuminating book weaves personal stories of a multilingual upbringing with the latest scientific breakthroughs in interspecies communication to show how the skill of deep listening enhances our curiosity and empathy toward the world around us 
 
 
 
Third Ear braids together personal narrative with scholarly inquiry to examine the power of listening to build interpersonal empathy and social transformation. A daughter of Holocaust survivors, Rosner shares stories from growing up in a home where six languages were spoken to interrogate how psychotherapy, neurolinguistics, and creativity can illuminate the complex ways we are impacted by the sounds and silences of others. 
 
 
 
Drawing on expertise from journalists, podcasters, performers, translators, acoustic biologists, spiritual leaders, composers, and educators, this hybrid text moves fluidly along a spectrum from molecular to global to reveal how third-ear listening can be a collective means for increased understanding and connection to the natural world.

Swimming Upstream - One man's...

Patsy Peril, Deirdre Nuttall

'Unlike me, the Atlantic wild salmon does not have a voice, so it cannot tell the story of why and how it has been driven to the point of extinction.'
Once, the River Shannon was teeming with wild salmon swimming upstream. But when the enormous hydro-electric station at Ardnacrusha was built in 1929, what began as the Free State's crowning achievement would have a devastating impact on the environment.
In this evocative and thought-provoking memoir, Patsy Peril recalls a life deeply entwined with Irish wildlife and embedded in the history of modern Ireland. From a childhood spent on the water to a national conservation campaign, Patsy has a lifetime of knowledge to share about the wild Atlantic salmon – and a plan to save it.
