Cryptography for Internet and Database Applications

Beschreibung

Cryptography is the gold standard for security. It is used toprotect the transmission and storage of data between two parties byencrypting it into an unreadable format. Cryptography has enabledthe first wave of secure transmissions, which has helped fuel thegrowth of transactions like shopping, banking, and finance over theworld's biggest public network, the Internet. Many Internetapplications such as e-mail, databases, and browsers store atremendous amount of personal and financial information, butfrequently the data is left unprotected. Traditional networksecurity is frequently less effective at preventing hackers fromaccessing this data. For instance, once-private databases are nowcompletely exposed on the Internet. It turns out that getting tothe database that holds millions of credit card numbers-thetransmission-is secure through the use of cryptography, but thedatabase itself isn't, fueling the rise of credit card informationtheft. A paradigm shift is now under way for cryptography. The only way tomake data secure in any application that runs over the Internet isto use secret (also known as private) key cryptography. The currentsecurity methods focus on securing Internet applications usingpublic keys techniques that are no longer effective. In thisgroundbreaking book, noted security expert Nick Galbreath providesspecific implementation guidelines and code examples to securedatabase and Web-based applications to prevent theft of sensitiveinformation from hackers and internal misuse.
