This course is designed to cover the basic issues and principles of cryptographic and network security techniques. The course consists of three parts: mathematical background, cryptography, and network security. The first part (mathematical background) introduces the principle of number theory and some results from probability theory, including Primes, random numbers, modular arithmetic and discrete logarithms.

Cryptography is concerned with the construction of schemes that should maintain a desired functionality, even under malicious attempts aimed at making them deviate from it.It makes little sense to make assumptions regarding the specific strategy that the adversary may use. The only assumptions that can be justified refer to the computational abilities of the adversary. The design of cryptographic systems has to be based on firm foundations ; whereas ad-hoc approaches and heuristics are a very dangerous way to go.

In the last decade Go has been an important part of my life. As a student in Delft I became fascinated by the question why, unlike Chess, computers played this game so poorly. This fascination stimulated me to pursue computer Go as a hobby and I was fortunate to share my interests with some fellow students with
whom I also founded a small Go club. In the final years of my study applied physics I joined the pattern recognition group where I performed research on non-linear feature extraction with artificial neural networks. After finishing my M.Sc. thesis I decided to pursue a Ph.D. in the fields of pattern recognition,machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

The purpose of this book is to apply the Artificial Intelligence and control systems to different real models.
we have defined a fuzzy utility system, with different financial goals,different levels of risk tolerance and different personal preferences, liquid assets, etc. A fuzzy system (extendible to a neutrosophic system) has been designed for the evaluations
of the financial objectives. We have investigated the notion of fuzzy and neutrosophiness with respect to time management of money.

This book is designed to help preservice and inservice teachers learn about some of the educational implications of current uses of Artificial Intelligence as an aid to solving problems and accomplishing tasks. Humans and their predecessors have developed a wide range of tools to
help solve the types of problems that they face. Such tools embody some of the knowledge and skills of those who discover, invent, design, and build the tools. Because of this, in some sense a tool user gains in knowledge and skill by learning to make use of tools.This document uses the term “tool” in a very broad sense. It includes the stone ax, the flint
knife, reading and writing, arithmetic and other math, the hoe and plough, the telescope,microscope, and other scintific instruments, the steam engine and steam locomotive, the bicycle, the internal combustion engine and automobile, and so on. It also includes the computer
hardware, software, and connectivity that we lump together under the title Information andCommunication Technology (ICT).
