 Review "...essential reading for professionals in e-commerce and information technology...it is also ideal for students." (IEEE Computer Magazine, March 2007) Product Description Gain the skills and knowledge needed to create effective data security systems This book updates readers with all the tools, techniques, and concepts needed to understand and implement data security systems. It presents a wide range of topics for a thorough understanding of the factors that affect the efficiency of secrecy, authentication, and digital signature schema. Most importantly, readers gain hands-on experience in cryptanalysis and learn how to create effective cryptographic systems. The author contributed to the design and analysis of the Data Encryption Standard (DES), a widely used symmetric-key encryption algorithm. His recommendations are based on firsthand experience of what does and does not work. Thorough in its coverage, the book starts with a discussion of the history of cryptography, including a description of the basic encryption systems and many of the cipher systems used in the twentieth century. The author then discusses the theory of symmetric- and public-key cryptography. Readers not only discover what cryptography can do to protect sensitive data, but also learn the practical limitations of the technology. The book ends with two chapters that explore a wide range of cryptography applications. Three basic types of chapters are featured to facilitate learning: * Chapters that develop technical skills * Chapters that describe a ~Spammer~ and present a method of analysis * Chapters that describe a ~Spammer~, present a method of analysis, and provide problems to test your grasp of the material and your ability to implement practical solutions With consumers becoming increasingly wary of identity theft and companies struggling to develop safe, secure systems, this book is essential reading for professionals in e-commerce and information technology. Written by a professor who teaches cryptography, it is also ideal for students. download here: http://kewlshare.com/dl/e1ebc3cbd00d/computer-security-and-cryptography.pdf.html  From the Back Cover "This book would be a good addition to any cryptographer's bookshelf. The book is self-contained; it presents all the background material to understand an algorithm and all the development to prove its security. I'm not aware of another book that's as complete as this one." --Christian Paquin, Cryptographic/Security Developer, Silanis Technology Inc. "The book is both complete, and extraordinarily technically accurate. It would certainly be a useful addition to any cryptographer's or crypto-engineer's library." --Marcus Leech, Advisor, Security Architecture and Planning, Nortel Networks Build more secure crypto systems--and prove their trustworthiness Modern Cryptography is the indispensable resource for every technical professional who needs to implement strong security in real-world applications. Leading HP security expert Wenbo Mao explains why "textbook" crypto schemes, protocols, and systems are profoundly vulnerable by revealing real-world-scenario attacks. Next, he shows how to realize cryptographic systems and protocols that are truly "fit for application"--and formally demonstrates their fitness. Mao presents practical examples throughout and provides all the mathematical background you'll need. Coverage includes: * Crypto foundations: probability, information theory, computational complexity, number theory, algebraic techniques, and more * Authentication: basic techniques and principles vs. misconceptions and consequential attacks * Evaluating real-world protocol standards including IPSec, IKE, SSH, TLS (SSL), and Kerberos * Designing stronger counterparts to vulnerable "textbook" crypto schemes Mao introduces formal and reductionist methodologies to prove the "fit-for-application" security of practical encryption, signature, signcryption, and authentication schemes. He gives detailed explanations for zero-knowledge protocols: definition, zero-knowledge properties, equatability vs. simulatability, argument vs. proof, round-efficiency, and non-interactive versions. download here: http://rapidshare.com/files/97565859/Modern_Cryptography.pdf  Book Description: This comprehensive encyclopedia provides easy access to information on all aspects of cryptography and security. With an AZ format of over 460 entries, 100+ international experts provide an accessible reference for those seeking entry into any aspect of the broad fields of cryptography and information security. Most entries in this preeminent work include useful literature references, providing more than 2500 references in total. Topics for the encyclopedia were selected by a distinguished advisory board consisting of 18 of the worlds leading scholars and practitioners. Main subject areas include: Authentication and identification Block ciphers and stream ciphers Computational issues Copy protection Cryptanalysis and security Cryptographic protocols Electronic payment and digital certificates Elliptic curve cryptography Factorization algorithms and primality tests Hash functions and MACs Historical systems Identity-based cryptography Implementation aspects for smart cards and standards Key management Multiparty computations like voting schemes Public key cryptography Quantum cryptography Secret sharing schemes Sequences Web security The style of the entries in the Encyclopedia of Cryptography and Security is expository and tutorial rather than detailed and technical, making the book a practical resource for information security experts as well as professionals in other fields who need to access this vital information but who may not have time to work their way through an entire text on their topic of interest. The underlying concepts in information security can be difficult to understand and may even be counter-intuitive. The Encyclopedia of Cryptography and Security will become the premier reference work on this complex subject. download here: http://rapidshare.com/files/95515620/ebc_038723473x.rar  Product Description This self-contained introduction to modern cryptography emphasizes the mathematics behind the theory of public key ~Spammer~ and digital signature schemes. The book focuses on these key topics while developing the mathematical tools needed for the construction and security analysis of diverse ~Spammer~. Only basic linear algebra is required of the reader; techniques from algebra, number theory, and probability are introduced and developed as required. The book covers a variety of topics that are considered central to mathematical cryptography. Key topics include: * classical cryptographic constructions, such as Diffie-Hellmann key exchange, discrete logarithm-based ~Spammer~, the RSA ~Spammer~, and digital signatures; * fundamental mathematical tools for cryptography, including primality testing, factorization algorithms, probability theory, information theory, and collision algorithms; * an in-depth treatment of important recent cryptographic innovations, such as elliptic curves, elliptic curve and pairing-based cryptography, lattices, lattice-based cryptography, and the NTRU ~Spammer~. Additional topics, including hash functions, pseudorandom number generators, zero-knowledge proofs, digital cash and DES/AES, are briefly described in the final chapter. This book is an ideal introduction for mathematics and computer science students to the mathematical foundations of modern cryptography. The book includes an extensive bibliography and index; supplementary materials are available online. download here: http://rapidshare.com/files/174288304/0387779930_-_Mathematical_Cryptography.rar  Review “…a useful guide for anyone bamboozled by encryption…” (PC Utilities, June 2004) “The reader can dip into it whenever the mood takes them…” (MicroMart, 29th April 2004) Book Description * Cryptography is the most effective way to achieve data security and is essential to e-commerce activities such as online shopping, stock trading, and banking * This invaluable introduction to the basics of encryption covers everything from the terminology used in the field to specific technologies to the pros and cons of different implementations * Discusses specific technologies that incorporate cryptography in their design, such as authentication methods, wireless encryption, e-commerce, and smart cards * Based entirely on real-world issues and situations, the material provides instructions for already available technologies that readers can put to work immediately * Expert author Chey Cobb is retired from the NRO, where she held a Top Secret security clearance, instructed employees of the CIA and NSA on computer security and helped develop the computer security policies used by all U.S. intelligence agencies download here: http://rapidshare.com/files/97574589/Cryptography_For_Dummies_-.rar  download here: http://rapidshare.com/files/144157497/Sec.n.Cryptphy.4.Nwks-virTuAlZin.rar  Review I am sure that this book will contribute greatly to the success of securing Java applications and deployments for e-business. --Anthony Nadalin, Java Security Lead Architect, IBM No other resource presents so concisely or effectively the exact material needed to begin utilizing the JCE. Stefan Meyer (Berlin) Zentralblatt MATH 1060, November 2005 Product Description For a long time, there has been a need for a practical, down-to-earth developers book for the Java Cryptography Extension. I am very happy to see there is now a book that can answer many of the technical questions that developers, managers, and researchers have about such a critical topic. I am sure that this book will contribute greatly to the success of securing Java applications and deployments for e-business. --Anthony Nadalin, Java Security Lead Architect, IBM For many Java developers and software engineers, cryptography is an "on-demand" programming exercise, where cryptographic concepts are shelved until the next project requires renewed focus. But considerations for cryptography must be made early on in the design process and its imperative that developers know what kinds of solutions exist. One of Javas solutions to help bridge the gap between academic research and real-world problem solving comes in the form of a well-defined architecture for implementing cryptographic solutions. However, to use the architecture and its extensions, it is important to recognize the pros and cons of different cryptographic algorithms and to know how to implement various devices like key agreements, digital signatures, and message digests, to name a few. In Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE), cryptography is discussed at the level that developers need to know to work with the JCE and with their own applications but that doesnt overwhelm by packing in details unimportant to the busy professional. The JCE is explored using numerous code examples and instructional detail, with clearly presented sections on each aspect of the Java library. An online open-source cryptography toolkit and the code for all of the examples further reinforces the concepts covered within the book. No other resource presents so concisely or effectively the exact material needed to begin utilizing the JCE. * Written by a seasoned veteran of both cryptography and server-side programming * Covers the architecture of the JCE, symmetric ciphers, asymmetric ciphers, message digests, message authentication codes, digital signatures, and managing keys and certificates * Includes a companion web site that contains the code for the examples in the book, open-source cryptographic toolkits, and further resources download here: http://rapidshare.com/files/114891225/Java_Cryptography_Extensions.pdf  |
