Access Control, Security, and Trust A Logical Approach Shiu-Kai Chin and Susan Older Syracuse University, New York, USA
Developed from the authors’ courses at Syracuse University and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, this book equips students with an access control logic they can use to specify and verify their security designs. Throughout the text, the authors use a single access control logic based on a simple propositional modal logic. Taking a logical, rigorous approach to access control, they show students how logic is a useful tool for analyzing security designs and spelling out the conditions upon which access control decisions depend. The first part of the book presents the syntax and semantics of access control logic, basic access control concepts, and an introduction to confidentiality and integrity policies. The second section covers access control in networks, delegation, protocols, and the use of cryptography. In the third section, the authors focus on hardware and virtual machines. The final part discusses confidentiality, integrity, and role-based access control.

Real, Complex, and Functional Analysis
Real and Complex Analysis Christopher Apelian and Steve Surace Drew University, Madison, New Jersey, USA with
Akhil Mathew
Unlike other undergraduate-level texts, Real and Complex Analysis develops both the real and complex theory together. It takes a unified, elegant approach to the theory that is consistent with the recommendations of the MAA’s 2004 Curriculum Guide. By presenting real and complex analysis together, the authors illustrate the connections and differences between these two branches of analysis right from the beginning. This combined development also allows for a more streamlined approach to real and complex function theory. Enhanced by more than 1,000 exercises, the text covers all the essential topics usually found in separate treatments of real analysis and complex analysis. Consequently, students will no longer have to use two separate textbooks—one for real function theory and one for complex function theory. The book’s website offers hints and solutions to selected exercises as well as further reading suggestions.
