Product Description: DES, the Data Encryption Standard, is the best known and most widely used civilian cryptosystem. It was developed by IBM and adopted as a US national standard in the mid 1970`s, and had resisted all attacks in the last 15 years. This book presents the first successful attack which can break the full 16 round DES faster than via exhaustive search...read more

Product Description: Elliptic curves have been intensively studied in algebraic geometry and number theory. In recent years they have been used in devising efficient algorithms for factoring integers and primality proving, and in the construction of public key cryptosystems...read more

Product Description: Although many books deal with the generalities of computer security, there is a need for texts looking in-depth at specific areas. This book discusses one such area: the access control mechanisms available in mainframe and mid-range computer systems...read more

Product Description: This text provides a practical introduction to cryptographic principles and algorithms for communication security and data privacy - both commercial and military. It explains the Data Encryption Standard, stream ciphers, public-key cryptosystems, arithmetic operating circuits, important classes of BCH and Reed-Solomon codes for multiple-error correction, ciphertext protection against illegal deletion or injection of information, and practical cryptographic applications...read more

Product Description: Information theory is an exceptional field in many ways. Technically, it is one of the rare fields in which mathematical results and insights have led directly to significant engineering payoffs. Professionally, it is a field that has sustained a remarkable degree of community, collegiality and high standards...read more

Product Description: This volume contains the refereed papers presented at the International Workshop on Software Encryption Algorithms, held at Cambridge University, U.K. in December 1993. The collection of papers by representatives of all relevant research centers gives a thorough state-of-the-art report on all theoretical aspects of encryption algorithms and takes into account the new demands from new applications, as for example from the data-intensive multimedia applications...read more

Product Description: THE LEGACY…First introduced in 1995, Cryptography: Theory and Practice garnered enormous praise and popularity, and soon became the standard textbook for cryptography courses around the world. The second edition was equally embraced, and enjoys status as a perennial bestseller...read more

Product Description: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th IMA Conference on Cryptography and Coding, held in Cirencester, UK in December 1995.The volume presents 22 full revised papers selected from 48 submissions together with five invited full papers and three abstracts on the mathematical theory and practice of cryptography and coding; continuing advances in these strongly related areas are crucial for the security and reliability of data communication, processing, and storage...read more

This book contains a set of revised refereed papers selected from the presentations at the Second International Workshop on Fast Software Encryption held in Leuven, Belgium, in December 1994. The 28 papers presented significantly advance the state of the art of software algorithms for two cryptographic primitives requiring very high speeds, namely encryption algorithms and hash functions: this volume contains six proposals for new ciphers as well as new results on the security of the new proposals. In addition, there is an introductory overview by the volume editor. The papers are organized in several sections on stream ciphers and block ciphers; other papers deal with new algorithms and protocols or other recent results.
