This book explores the question of whether software should be patented. It analyses the ways in which the courts of the US, the EU, and Australia have attempted to deal with the problems surrounding the patentability of software and describes why it is that the software patent issue should be dealt with as a patentable subject matter issue, rather than as an issue of novelty or nonobviousness.Anton Hughes demonstrates that the current approach has failed and that a fresh approach to the …

This newly revised and expanded second edition of the popular Artech House title, Fuzzing for Software Security Testing and Quality Assurance, provides practical and professional guidance on how and why to integrate fuzzing into the software development lifecycle. This edition introduces fuzzing as a process, goes through commercial tools, and explains what the customer requirements are for fuzzing. The advancement of evolutionary fuzzing tools, including American Fuzzy Lop (AFL) and the …

Once the privilege of a secret few, cryptography is now taught at universities around the world. Introduction to Cryptography with Open-Source Software illustrates algorithms and cryptosystems using examples and the open-source computer algebra system of Sage. The author, a noted educator in the field, provides a highly practical learning experienc
