	Z. Zhang. Security, Trust and Risk in Digital Rights Management Ecosystem [M]. Beijing: Science Press, 2012. (ISBN 978-7-03-034335-2) [Html] Brief Introduction: The monograph has an objective to make an interesting insight on security, trust and risk in DRM ecosystem from interdisciplinary perspective． The state-of-the-art of DRM technologies is firstly presented, and then the book proposed a tradeoff between DRM security and utility by cost-effectively adopting and deploying of security policies and mechanisms, in order to implement an optimal security-utility equilibrium and establish the multi-stakeholder trust in DRM ecosystem. And also, the book has an in-depth investigation on security risk management in the copyrighted content value chain. Finally, a comprehensive multimedia DRM application case for digital home networks was highlighted. This monograph is intended for research scientists, engineers, developers and high-level administrators of digital rights management ecosystems and applications, and also for advanced-level students in computer science, information technology and management science. Up to now, Digital Rights Management (DRM) has been still a burning and challenging research topic since 1990s. In digital world and the DRM-enabling digital content value chain, various stakeholders don’t fully trust one another due to their own rights and benefits, thus leading to a fact that the security techniques become the basis of multi-participant trust. Existing security technology-related works primarily focus on content protections and secure disseminations by using cryptographic algorithms and secure protocols, trusted and controlled usages of copyrighted digital assets at the general-purpose or special-purpose user terminal devices, together with watermarking-based copyrights infringements tracking and prosecutions. No doubt that these typical security policies and usage restrictions are indispensable to DRM ecosystem, but the other cover of a coin, they give birth to several unexpected issues, such as the weaker system interoperability and usability, as well as higher security overheads. The simple adoptions of those general or increasingly enhanced security policies for DRM ecosystem would have negative influences on the utilities of participants without the consideration of the rational decision-making. Therefore, the adoptions of DRM security policies, the establishment of multi-stakeholder trust and security risk management become three essential aspects. The monograph has an objective to make an interesting insight on security, trust and risk in DRM ecosystem from interdisciplinary perspective. There are involved with a tradeoff between DRM security and utility, in order to implement an optimal security-utility equilibrium and establish a multi-participant trust for various participants in the content value chain, by cost-effectively adopting and deploying of security policies and mechanisms. And also, inspired by risk management, we made in-depth investigation on security risk management in content value chain. Finally, we gave a DRM application case for Digital Home Network and a prototype on copyrighted multimedia content.
	Z. Zhang. Risk Assessment and Management [M]. USA: Academy Publish, 2012. (ISBN 978-0-9835850-0-8) [Html] Brief Introduction: The broad definitions of a risk can be summarized as probability and/or impact of unfortunate events, or the quantifiable likelihood of loss. As soon as a probability of a loss occurs we need to asset it, model it and manage it to try to minimize the realization of mentioned unwanted opportunities. Risks can be found anywhere from financial markets, projects, natural causes, national securities, industrial processes, health, science experiments and so forth. Therefore, we need to manage the risks. Using ISO 31000 definition, risk management is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate event or to maximize the realization of opportunities. While risk itself ISO defines as effect of uncertainty on objectives, whether positive or negative. Risk assessment and management papers should describe important applications in the field of interest such as engineering, science, manufacturing, business, homeland security, management, and public policy. Use high mathematics or avoid it whenever possible by taking into consideration case studies; incorporate examples, illustrate analytical methods, discuss problems and possible solutions. Write a paper that will become a source for academic, industry, and government professionals in such diverse areas as homeland and cyber security, healthcare, the environment, physical infrastructure systems, engineering, business, and more. Topics include as follows: Methods, Principles of risk management, Risk assessment in several main fields as information security, project management, software evolution and public health, etc. Online Download: [Html]

	Z. Zhang, K. Fan, F. Xiang (Translators), Jennifer L. Bayuk, Jason Healey, Paul Rohmeyer, et al. Cyber Security Policy Guidebook [M]. Beijing: National Defense Industry Press, 2014, 11. (ISBN 978-7-118-09824-2, Chinese Edition) [Html] Preface: The idea for this book coincided with a conference on Cyber Security Policy (SIT 2010). The conference had sessions ranging from security technology investment decisions by venture capitalists to the implications of cyber security policy on personal privacy. Though all speakers were experts in their field and were asked to address cyber security policy topics, many instead focused on strategy or technology issues. Even where it was clear that policy was being discussed, policies were often not articulated clearly enough for panelists and audience members to participate in informed debate. This observation itself became the buzz at the conference and made it a truly memorable experience for many who attended. The experience made it clear that cyber security policy means different things to different people, even those who work in cyber security. This conclusion led us to the format of this book. That is, the book is designed to lead the reader through concepts that are individually easy to assimilate, and collectively provide a solid understanding of the field of cyber security and the place of policy within it. We also knew that there is no one person experienced enough in cyber security to have been able to single-handedly write this book. The team was chosen to ensure that all the major fields of experience in cyber security were covered. Each contributed to chapters and sections that were specific to their experience. However, all chapters were scrutinized by all authors to ensure a cohesive presentation for the expected variety of readers. Policy is the domain of authoritative executives. Executive authority may stem from the social contracts by which governments are established or the domain of a private enterprise. This book was written with those executives in mind, but it is not intended solely for their consumption. In order that cyber security policy analysis receive the critical scrutiny essential to sound legislation on both public and private fronts, the audience for this book must extend to executive advisors, educators, researchers, legislative staff, and practitioners in the field. Though each member of the audience brings his or her own background and experience to the material presented herein, we expect that current concepts on cyber security policy will be enriched by sharing this common presentation framework and nomenclature with colleagues in the same field, whose professional experience has exposed them to cyber security issues of varying scope. Most literature about cyber security falls into two categories: technology and advice. This book will refrain from technical jargon and also from recommendations with respect to decisions in any given case of cyber security policy. Although the book endeavors to explain technology issues in cyber security, it does so in layman’s terms. At the same time, the book emphasizes the importance of critical and analytical thinking about decisions with respect to cyber security and will equip the reader with descriptions of the impact of specific policy choices, letting the reader decide whether to view that impact as positive or negative. This guidebook integrates explanations of cyber security policy alternatives across potential executive, legislative, judiciary, commercial, military, and diplomatic action. Readers across these disciplines are expected to view its content through the lens of their own area of expertise and also gain insights from issues encountered by others. It will be an introductory text for the uninitiated, while at the same time providing a holistic reference for experts in the field of cyber security.

Special Issue on “AI-Enabled and Human-Centric Computing for Online Social Networks Security, Privacy and Trust”, Journal of Information Processing Systems (ISSN: 1976-913X (Print), ISSN: 2092-805X (Online)) [Call for Papers]

Online social networks (OSNs) are now deeply entrenched in our society and daily lives. This is not surprisingly as such platforms, tools, applications and services allow us to conveniently acquire, exchange and share data, information, and knowledge on a much larger scale, and without geographic restriction. This has also contributed to trends such as the emerging AI-enabled and human-centric frontier computing driven by social media big data, including new computing paradigms, e.g., aware computing and (social) situation analytics, to facilitate social data mining and knowledge discovery. There are, however, security, privacy and trustworthiness issues that need to be addressed by integrating artificial intelligence theories and methods, such as based on the ML/DL/causality inference, as well as human-centric and hardware controlled online social networks features. This is the focus of this thematic issue. More specifically, we are seeking to investigate the emerging AI-enabled and human-centric computing challenges and their state-of-the-art theories, models, algorithms and solutions.

SUBJECT COVERAGE

Journal of Information Processing Systems is soliciting high quality manuscripts presenting original contributions for its special issue. In this thematic issue, we solicit the submission of high-quality original research and survey articles in topics including, but are not limited to, particularly interdisciplinary submissions that bring together social media, security, privacy and trust researchers.

- AI and Frontier human-centric computing paradigms for OSNs security

- ML/DL/causality inference models and algorithms for social big data security analysis

- Social IOT and hardware controlled online security features for social computing

- Computational intelligence for social behavior analysis, social bots checking and controlling

- Fine-grained and spatial-temporal-featured privacy protection employed by AI

- Social big data-driven trust management and risk assessment, as well as social-factor considerations in the social ecosystems

- Human-centric OSNs security prototypes and empirical studies together with social big data applications
