Infos

The ultimate guide to cryptography, updated from an author team
of the world's top cryptography experts.

Cryptography is vital to keeping information safe, in an era
when the formula to do so becomes more and more challenging.
Written by a team of world-renowned cryptography experts, this
essential guide is the definitive introduction to all major areas
of cryptography: message security, key negotiation, and key
management. You'll learn how to think like a cryptographer. You'll
discover techniques for building cryptography into products from
the start and you'll examine the many technical changes in the
field.

After a basic overview of cryptography and what it means today,
this indispensable resource covers such topics as block ciphers,
block modes, hash functions, encryption modes, message
authentication codes, implementation issues, negotiation protocols,
and more. Helpful examples and hands-on exercises enhance your
understanding of the multi-faceted field of cryptography.
