| Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C, 2nd Edition | NEXT |
| Bruce
Schneier's Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code
in C offers an authoritative introduction to the field of cryptography,
suitable for both the specialist and the general reader. The book adopts
an encyclopedic approach to Cryptographic systems throughout history, from
ciphers to public key cryptography. Schneier also outlines cryptographic protocols--the steps required for secure encryption with the precision of a chess master.Readable, instructive, and truly exhaustive, this text is a must for anyone wanting a solid introduction to the field in a single volume. Applied Cryptography presents the source code for most algorithms and other procedures in C rather than using pure math.The book also includes source code for the Data Encryption Standard (DES) and other algorithms, but readers don't need to know programming to benefit from this text. With a truly comprehensive bibliography of over 1,600 entries, Applied Cryptography provides the reader with plenty of sources for more information . |

| Cryptography Decrypted: A Pictorial Introduction to Digital Security | NEXT |
| A
Tutorial in Digital Cryptography, for readers at any level of experience.
Requires no technical or mathematical expertise, but does include appendices
for those who have it. Topics covered include public and private keys, hashes and message digests, cryptographic attacks, and Digital signatures. Softcover. DLC: Computer security. A Tool for Everyone In the past, cryptography was used mainly to secure the communications of the powerful and influential, the military and royalty. But the widespread use of Computers, and the attacks to which they are vulnerable, has expanded the need for secure communications around the globe. This book describes the protection afforded by modern computer Cryptographic systems and explains how the pace of modern Technology requires continuing attention to the security of those systems. |

| Defending Your Digital Assets Against Hackers, Crackers, Spies, and Thieves | NEXT |
| Computer
security holds a unique position among information technology disciplines.Because
threats to systems are so numerous and varied, you can spend years studying
them (and general strategies for counteracting them) before you start to
work with specific security tools. Defending Your Digital Assets Against Hackers, Crackers, Spies and Thieves is a guide to computer security that remains one step back from security software itself. In place of specific how-to information, readers learn about the motives of online attackers and the strategies they use to gain unauthorized access to systems and data, plus overarching concepts like public-key cryptography. They also find out about defensive and forensic strategies for preventing attacks and limiting their potency when they occur. The
authors of this book-A cryptographer, a couple of mathematicians, and
a handful of others--employ a very text-heavy presentation style that's
best suited to attentive study. The prose tends to be dense and a bit
academic, and certain conceptual diagrams approach inscrutability. Still,
security is a complicated matter, and a simplistic treatment wouldn't
be as useful. It's possible to scan the index for a topic that interests
you--keystroke biometrics, say--and find a definition and a statement
of pros and cons. You'll also find endnote references to more specialized
works but little mention of software products that implement the ideas
the authors explain . |

| Codes, Ciphers and Secret Writing | TOP |
| This
is a fascinating introductory book about codes and ciphers. It is very readable
and understandable for young adults and older. Anyone who is interested in codes and ciphers will like, and want to own this book.Very well written. This book offers an introduction to "Crypto-Stuff" such as mono/polyalphabetic substitutions and grille methods. It doesn't go into much of anything else in huge detail, but it offers many methods including "How to build" your own encoding/decoding tools. If you're looking for some fun reading, I highly recommend it |
