About The Book:

Information Security: An Emerging Issue in the Digital Age by Bahram Javidi is an essential resource that dives deep into the complexities and critical nature of securing information in today's interconnected world. While often associated with national defense, the implications of information security stretch far beyond that domain. This book explores the vital role information security plays in our daily lives—from protecting the privacy of financial transactions and medical records to ensuring the safety of food, aviation systems, and even safeguarding personal identities from theft.

In this comprehensive work, the author highlights the integration of diverse technologies to secure, protect, verify, and authenticate information. Drawing on research in optical sciences, digital image processing, computer-based systems, mathematical algorithms, quantum optics, and biometrics, the book offers cutting-edge solutions to combat the threats of theft, counterfeiting, and manipulation.

The uniqueness of this book lies in its focus on optics, a groundbreaking and emerging technology in security, combined with accessible digital techniques that, when interfaced with optics, create highly effective and efficient security systems. It serves as a bridge between disciplines, offering novel insights for students, researchers, and professionals interested in securing information across various sectors, including commerce, government, and beyond.
