Kurzbeschreibung
Die Kryptographie ist die Schlüsseltechnologie zur Sicherung gespeicherter und übertragener digitaler Information. Dieses Buch beschreibt die Kryptographie im Unterschied zu fast allen derzeit erhältlichen Werken auf diesem Gebiet nicht theoretisch, sondern erläutert praktische Aspekte der Implementation.
- eine konsequent praxisorientierte Anleitung für Systems Engineers und Techniker, kryptographische Algorithmen in Produkte einzubauen
- schlägt eine Brücke zwischen der verfügbaren theoretisch angelegten Literatur und der Praxis
- ideale Verbindung zu "Applied Cryptography" vom gleichen Autor; dort werden die Grundlagen der Kryptographie beschrieben
- die Autoren gehören zu den weltbesten Fachleuten ihres Gebiets
Security is the number one concern for businesses worldwide. The gold standard for attaining security is cryptography because it provides the most reliable tools for storing or transmitting digital information. Written by Niels Ferguson, lead cryptographer for Counterpane, Bruce Schneier's security company, and Bruce Schneier himself, this is the much anticipated follow-up book to Schneier's seminal encyclopedic reference, Applied Cryptography, Second Edition (0-471-11709-9), which has sold more than 150,000 copies.
Niels Ferguson (Amsterdam, Netherlands) is a cryptographic engineer and consultant at Counterpane Internet Security. He has extensive experience in the creation and design of security algorithms, protocols, and multinational security infrastructures. Previously, Ferguson was a cryptographer for DigiCash and CWI. At CWI he developed the first generation of off-line payment protocols. He has published numerous scientific papers.
Bruce Schneier (Minneapolis, MN) is Founder and Chief Technical Officer at Counterpane Internet Security, a managed-security monitoring company. He is also the author of Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World (0-471-25311-1).
