Information security primarily serves these six distinct purposes—authentication, authorization, prevention of data theft, sensitive data safety / privacy, data protection / integrity, non-repudiation. The entire gamut of infosec rests upon cryptography. The author begins as a protagonist to explain that modern cryptography is more suited for machines rather than humans. This is explained through a brief history of ciphers and their evolution into cryptography and its various forms. The premise is further reinforced by a critical assessment of algorithm-based modern cryptography in the age of emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain. With simple and lucid examples, the author demonstrates that the hypothetical “man versus machine” scenario is not by chance, but by design. The book doesn’t end here like most others that wind up with a sermon on ethics and eventual merging of humans with technology (i.e., singularity). A very much practicable solution has been presented with a real-world use-case scenario, wherein infosec is designed around the needs, biases, flaws and skills of humans. This innovative approach, as trivial as it may seem to some, has the power to bring about a paradigm shift in the overall strategy of information technology that can change our world for the better. The landscape of cryptography is continuously evolving, driven by advances in technology and the increasing sophistication of cyber threats. As cryptographic algorithms become more robust, adversaries, too, strive to exploit vulnerabilities. The data encryption standard (DES), developed in the 1970s, was the first widely used encryption standard. However, as computing power increased, DES’s 56-bit key length became susceptible to brute-force attacks. This led to the development of the advanced encryption standard (AES) in the early 2000s, with key lengths of 128, 192, or 256 bits, providing significantly higher security. The book contains technical concepts at a high level with a simple and lucid presentation so that it is suited for both the layman as well as practitioners of information technology.

Business decisions in any context—operational, tactical, or strategic—can have considerable consequences. Whether the outcome is positive and rewarding or negative and damaging to the business, its employees, and stakeholders is unknown when action is approved. These decisions are usually made under the proverbial cloud of uncertainty. With this practical guide, data analysts, data scientists, and business analysts will learn why and how maximizing positive consequences and minimizing negative ones requires three forms of rich information: Descriptive analytics explores the results from an action—what has already happened. Predictive analytics focuses on what could happen. The third, prescriptive analytics, informs us what should happen in the future. While all three are important for decision-makers, the primary focus of this book is on the third: prescriptive analytics. This book is intended for people involved in demand measurement and forecasting; predictive modeling; pricing analytics including elasticity estimation; customer satisfaction assessment; market and advertisement research; new product development and research; capital investment decisions; and any place where these analyses are input into major decisions at the operational, tactical, and strategic levels. This book will provide background for Prescriptive Analytics by explaining the intuition underlying analytic concepts; developing the necessary mathematical and statistical analytic principles; demonstrating concepts using Python in JupyterLab notebooks; and illustrating analytical concepts with use-cases.

Create apps for iOS and Android phones and tablets using Flutter, a Google framework that produces two outputs for a single app. Let's face it, creating iOS apps using Apple tools such as Swift and Xcode is extremely complicated. Creating Android apps with Kotlin and Android Studio is just as difficult. This book breaks down complex concepts and tasks into easily digestible segments with examples, full-color pictures, and hands-on labs with starters and solutions. As you work through the accompanying lab exercises, you'll learn the Dart programming language; the entire Flutter development toolchain; the differences between stateful and stateless widgets; and a working knowledge of the architecture of apps. You'll work with themes and styles, develop custom widgets, and even teach your app to respond to gestures like taps, swipes, and pinches. You'll also design, create, and control the layout of your app. Create tools to handle form data entry from users. And ultimately create killer multiscreen apps with navigation, menus, and tabs. Developers who have coded in jаvascript, Python, Java, C#, C++, or any similar language. Managers, product owners, and business analysts who need to understand Flutter's capabilities.

The first text to take a systems engineering approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI), from architecture principles to the development and deployment of AI capabilities. Most books on Artificial Intelligence (AI) focus on a single functional building block, such as Machine Learning or human-machine teaming. Artificial Intelligence takes a more holistic approach, addressing AI from the view of systems engineering. The book centers on the people-process-technology triad that is critical to successful development of AI products and services. Development starts with an AI design, based on the AI system architecture, and culminates with successful deployment of the AI capabilities. Directed toward AI developers and operational users, this accessibly written volume of the MIT Lincoln Laboratory Series can also serve as a text for undergraduate seniors and graduate-level students and as a reference book. ML—­one of ­today’s most rapidly growing technical fields—is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) focused on employing data and algorithms to extract knowledge and insights without explicit instructions. At its core, ML is all about designing algorithms and models that can learn from data without being explic­itly programmed. It is used to recognize patterns, make classifications or predictions, and even learn to perform tasks once thought to be exclusive to ­human intelligence, such as language and image understanding and generation.
