PCI DSS Version 4.0.1. A guide to the payment card industry data security standard
IT Governance Publishing, Stephen Hancock
This book provides an essential resource for anyone involved in managing or ensuring PCI DSS compliance. It begins by introducing the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), explaining its importance, and the regulatory framework that governs it. Readers will understand how to assess their organization’s compliance status and the vital steps to avoid data breaches. The book offers a comprehensive exploration of compliance programs and how organizations can design their own effective strategies.The text then dives into the specifics of PCI DSS, focusing on its core components and requirements. Key chapters describe how to comply with and maintain compliance, as well as how to use tools like the PCI self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ). Real-world case studies of cardholder data breaches highlight the consequences of non-compliance. Readers will also learn about the integration of PCI DSS with other standards like ISO/IEC 27001.Throughout, this guide emphasizes practical advice for implementing key security frameworks such as the Software Security Framework (SSF) and Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE). By the end of the book, readers will have a clear roadmap to not only meet but sustain PCI DSS compliance and strengthen their organization's data security practices.

Przekonaj się, jak fascynująca jest kryptografia! Poznaj historię rozwoju kryptografii Opanuj jej matematyczne podstawy Rozpracuj najważniejsze algorytmy kryptograficzne Dowiedz się, jak zastosować je w praktyce Kryptografia to dziedzina nauki, której sedno stanowią sposoby bezpiecznego przekazywania informacji. Jest ona niemal tak stara, jak nasza cywilizacja, a dziś rozwija się w sposób niezwykle dynamiczny. Gdy tylko narodziły się pierwsze metody zapisu i komunikowania się, pojawiła się też konieczność zabezpieczenia informacji przed tymi, którzy mogliby wykorzystać je na niekorzyść osób dysponujących tymi informacjami. Od bezpieczeństwa ważnych informacji zależały często losy całych państw i narodów. O rozstrzygnięciach wielkich bitew nierzadko decydowały inteligencja i determinacja pojedynczych osób, które potrafiły odpowiednio skutecznie szyfrować (bądź też deszyfrować) nadawane (lub przechwytywane) komunikaty. O tej fascynującej dziedzinie wiedzy opowiada książka Podstawy kryptografii. Wydanie III. Wprowadza ona czytelnika w podstawowe zagadnienia kryptografii bez przygniatania nadmiarem teorii i skomplikowaną matematyką. Kusi za to barwnymi opisami i pasjonującymi przykładami "kryptograficznych wojen". Można dzięki niej poznać historię rozwoju technik szyfrowania informacji, matematyczne podstawy kryptografii, stojącą za nią teorię oraz praktyczne zastosowania tej nauki. Niezależnie od tego, czy chcesz poznać kryptografię na własny użytek, czy jest Ci to potrzebne w celach zawodowych, książka ta okaże się doskonałym przewodnikiem po świecie szyfrów, kluczy i algorytmów zabezpieczających dane. Znajdziesz w niej informacje na temat protokołów SSL i SSH, a także szczegółowy opis algorytmu SHA3. Przegląd klasycznych sposobów szyfrowania Matematyczne podstawy kryptografii Praktyczne zastosowanie mechanizmów matematycznych Teoria kryptoanalizy i informacji oraz jej praktyczne wykorzystanie Przegląd protokołów kryptograficznych Klucze publiczne i prywatne Zasady zabezpieczania danych, połączeń i systemów komputerowych Potwierdzanie tożsamości za pomocą podpisów elektronicznych Zabezpieczanie stron internetowych i szyfrowanie baz danych Naucz się chronić cenne dane!

AI and blockchain are two emerging technologies catalyzing the pace of enterprise innovation. With this book, you’ll understand both technologies and converge them to solve real-world challenges.This AI blockchain book is divided into three sections. The first section covers the fundamentals of blockchain, AI, and affiliated technologies, where you’ll learn to differentiate between the various implementations of blockchains and AI with the help of examples. The second section takes you through domain-specific applications of AI and blockchain. You’ll understand the basics of decentralized databases and file systems and connect the dots between AI and blockchain before exploring products and solutions that use them together. You’ll then discover applications of AI techniques in crypto trading. In the third section, you’ll be introduced to the DIApp design pattern and compare it with the DApp design pattern. The book also highlights unique aspects of SDLC (software development lifecycle) when building a DIApp, shows you how to implement a sample contact tracing application, and delves into the future of AI with blockchain.By the end of this book, you’ll have developed the skills you need to converge AI and blockchain technologies to build smart solutions using the DIApp design pattern.

Before Rust, blockchain developers didn’t have a systems programming language that was type-safe, fast, and, at the same time, had stable and easy memory management. Rust proved to be a boon for developers and works as the perfect solution for not only blockchain and protocol development but also dApp development.Rust for Blockchain Application Development focuses on demonstrating solutions that can help blockchain developers productize decentralized applications using Rust, which is a complex language with a steep learning curve.This book starts with basic Rust language concepts and then builds on these concepts to enable you to develop your own blockchain from scratch. As you progress, you’ll learn how to build dApps on popular chains like Solana and NEAR. You’ll also be guided through creating Ethereum dApps using Foundry (Rust). Finally, you’ll develop a custom blockchain using Substrate by Parity (Polkadot). The book provides a complete 360-degree view of Rust in the blockchain ecosystem.By the end of this Rust book, you’ll have a thorough understanding of how to apply your Rust knowledge to building dApps and blockchains from scratch.
