Sommario/riassunto

This book delves into the life and achievements of Nicolaus Copernicus, a pivotal figure in the history of astronomy. Known for his revolutionary heliocentric model, Copernicus challenged the long-standing geocentric views of Aristotle and Ptolemy, positioning the Sun, rather than the Earth, at the center of the universe. The text explores the historical and cultural context of 15th and 16th-century Europe, amidst the backdrop of humanism, the Protestant Reformation, and the discovery of the New World. It highlights Copernicus's education, career, and the profound impact of his work on future astronomers such as Galileo, Kepler, and Newton. Intended for readers interested in the history of science and the transformative period of the Copernican



revolution, the book underscores Copernicus's role in altering humanity's understanding of the cosmos.

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Information Security and Cryptology, ICISC 2014, held in Seoul, South Korea in December 2014. The 27 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 91 submissions during two rounds of reviewing. The papers provide the latest results in research, development and applications in the field of information security and cryptology. They are organized in topical sections on RSA security, digital signature, public key cryptography, block ciphers, network security, mobile security, hash functions, information hiding and efficiency, cryptographic protocol, and side-channel attacks.
