Security and privacy issues are hot topics in the media these days, and many fields of study are joining forces to address this growing area of concern. This accessible book contributes to the cross-disciplinary dialogue, presenting a unified look at encryption, error correction, and information theory appropriate for a wide range of readers.
Stressing the interconnections of the areas of study, Cryptography, Information Theory, and Error-Correction offers a complete yet accessible account of the technologies shaping the twenty-first century. This title contains the most up-to-date, detailed, and balanced treatment available on these subjects. The authors draw on their experience both in the classroom and in industry, giving the book's material and presentation a unique real-world orientation. Features include over 300 example problems and their solutions; the latest and most exciting new algorithms in use; discussion of cutting-edge cell biology applications; and a tiered approach to topics facilitating understanding by a wider group of readers. With its reader-friendly style and interdisciplinary emphasis, Cryptography, Information Theory, and Error-Correction serves as both an admirable teaching text and a tool for self-learning.
