Author
Paar, Christof, 1963-
Call Number QA76.9.A25P37 2024
Understanding and employing cryptography has become central for securing virtually any digital application, whether user app, cloud service, or even medical implant. After introducing basic cryptography concepts, this seminal textbook covers nearly all symmetric, asymmetric, and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms currently in use in applications―ranging from cloud computing and smart phones all the way to industrial systems, block chains, and cryptocurrencies.

Title
Repression in the digital age : surveillance, censorship, and the dynamics of state violence
Author
Gohdes, Anita R
Call Number HM851.G646 2024
In 'Repression in the Digital Age', Anita R. Gohdes provides an in-depth look into the relationship between digital technologies and state violence. Drawing on original data, Gohdes argues that mass access to the Internet presents governments who fear for their political survival with a set of response options, which in turn support different forms of violence by state forces. As digital communication has become a bedrock of modern opposition and protest movements, this text breaks new ground in examining state repression in the information age.


Title
The chemistry, nanoencapsulation and bioherbicide use of allelochemicals
Author
Salamanez, Kevin
Call Number QK898.A43S25 2025
This monograph explores the in-depth chemistry behind allelopathy, a phenomenon marked by the release of chemicals into the environment from one plant on another plant causing direct or indirect effects. Allelopathy is an important key to the development of bioherbicides, nature-friendly herbicides preventing growth of herbicide-resistant weeds. This monograph is unique since it deals with extensive chemistry of allelopathy, achieving better understanding of allelopathy, and deals with nanoencapsulation of allelochemicals for agricultural applications.
