Cryptography and Network Security

Description

ABOUT THE BOOK

In this age of viruses and hackers, of electronic eavesdropping and electronic fraud, security is paramount. As the disciplines of cryptography and network security have matured, more practical, readily available applications have evolved to implement network security. This book provides a practical survey of both the principles and practice of cryptography and network security.

In this age of universal electronic connectivity, of viruses and hackers, of electronic eavesdropping and electronic fraud, there is virtually no time at which security does not matter. Two trends have made the subject of this book of vital interest. First, the explosive growth in computer systems and their interconnections through the network has increased the dependence of both organizations and individuals on the information stored and transmitted using these systems. This, in turn, has led to increased awareness of the need to protect data and resources from disclosure, to guarantee the authenticity of data and messages, and to protect systems from network-based attacks.

Second, the disciplines of cryptography and network security have matured, leading to the development of practical, readily available applications for implementing network security.

It is the purpose of this book to provide a practical survey of both the theory and practice of cryptography and network security. In the first part of the book, the basic issues addressed by a network security capability are explored by providing a tutorial and survey of cryptography and network security techniques. The latter part of the book deals with the practice of network security, the practical applications that have been implemented and are in use to provide network security. An attempt has been made to make the book self-contained. The book not only presents essential mathematical results, but also provides the reader with an intuitive understanding of those results.
