| Towards hardware-intrinsic security : foundations and practice / Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi, David Naccache ; foreword by Pim Tuyls | |
| Sadeghi, Ahmad-Reza | |
| Hardware-intrinsic security is a young field dealing with secure secret key storage. By generating the secret keys from the intrinsic properties of the silicon, e.g., from intrinsic Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs), no permanent secret key storage is required anymore, and the key is only present in the device for a minimal amount of time. The field is extending to hardware-based security primitives and protocols such as block ciphers and stre ... | |

| Knowledge in formation : a computational theory of interpretation / Janos J. Sarbo, Jozsef I. Farkas, Auke J.J. van Breemen | |
| Sarbo, Janos J | |
| Humans have an extraordinary capability to combine different types of information in a single meaningful interpretation. The quickness with which interpretation processes evolve suggests the existence of a uniform procedure for all domains. In this book the authors suggest that such a procedure can be found. They concentrate on the introduction of a theory of interpretation, and they define a model that enables a meaningful representation of know ... | |

| Designing media / Bill Moggridge | |
| Moggridge, Bill | |
| Mainstream media, often known simply as MSM, have not yet disappeared in a digital takeover of the media landscape. But the long-dominant MSM--television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and books--have had to respond to emergent digital media. Newspapers have interactive Web sites; television broadcasts over the Internet; books are published in both electronic and print editions.

| The cruel radiance : photography and political violence / Susie Linfield | |
| Linfield, Susie | |
| In The Cruel Radiance , Susie Linfield challenges the idea that photographs of political violence exploit their subjects and pander to the voyeuristic tendencies of their viewers. Instead she argues passionately that looking at such images-and learning to see the people in them-is an ethically and politically necessary act that connects us to our modern history of violence and probes the human capacity for cruelty. Grappling with critics from Wal ... | |

| Can journalism be saved? : rediscovering America's appetite for news / Rachel Davis Mersey | |
| Mersey, Rachel Davis, 1978- | |
| Mersey (journalism, Northwestern University) argues that news organizations must understand that identity-driven communities are now more important than geographic communities. She proposes an individual- first, identity-based model of journalism that requires journalists to master the science of audience understanding. The new model's focus is on creation of news products that connect individuals to topics that matter to them personally. In addi ... | |
