A practical guide to Cryptography and its use in the Internet andother communication networks.
This overview takes the reader through basic issues and on to moreadvanced concepts, to cover all levels of interest. Coverageincludes all key mathematical concepts, standardisation,authentication, elliptic curve cryptography, and algorithm modesand protocols (including SSL, TLS, IPSec, SMIME, & PGPprotocols).
* Details what the risks on the internet are and how cryptographycan help
* Includes a chapter on interception which is unique amongstcompeting books in this field
* Explains Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs) - currently the mostimportant issue when using cryptography in a largeorganisation
* Includes up-to-date referencing of people, organisations, booksand Web sites and the latest information about recent acts andstandards affecting encryption practice
* Tackles the practical issues such as the difference between SSLand IPSec, which companies are active on the market and where toget further information
