TitleThe Alien Communication Handbook : So We Received a Signal???Now What?
Author(s)McConnell, Brian S
PublicationCham, Springer International Publishing, 2021.
DescriptionX, 299 p. 150 illus., 97 illus. in color : online resource
Abstract NoteScientists have been searching for signals from extraterrestrial civilizations since Frank Drake???s first radio survey in 1960. But what would actually happen if SETI???s search succeeds? Is there any way we could even make sense of the signal we receive? Written by an expert in communication systems and translation technology, this book explores the science of interstellar communication. It explains how this process may unfold, how an ET communication link would work, the types of information it could convey and how professionals, amateurs and ordinary people like you would participate in the effort to understand what another civilization has to say. Along the way, the book introduces readers to many aspects of modern-day communication systems and computing. Featured as well are dozens of illustrations, photos and real-world examples, rounding out this compelling foray into the mechanics of interstellar communication. ???Scientists, policy makers, and all interested in the likely future discovery of alien life will want to read this book.??? - Steven J. Dick, Former NASA Chief Historian

TitleQuantum Cryptography : From Key Distribution to Conference Key Agreement
Author(s)Grasselli, Federico
PublicationCham, Springer International Publishing, 2021.
DescriptionXVII, 152 p. 14 illus. in color : online resource
Abstract NoteRising concerns about the security of our data have made quantum cryptography a very active research field in recent years. Quantum cryptographic protocols promise everlasting security by exploiting distinctive quantum properties of nature. The most extensively implemented protocol is quantum key distribution (QKD), which enables secure communication between two users. The aim of this book is to introduce the reader to state-of-the-art QKD and illustrate its recent multi-user generalization: quantum conference key agreement. With its pedagogical approach that doesn???t disdain going into details, the book enables the reader to join in cutting-edge research on quantum cryptography
