Cryptography, in particular public-key cryptography, has emerged an important discipline that is not only the subject of an enormous amount of research, but provides the foundation for information security in many applications. This title provides a treatment that introduces the practical aspects of both conventional and public-key cryptography.

Rezensionen

"...very well suited for the reader who wants an encyclopedic description of the state of the art of applied modern cryptography."
-Mathematical Reviews, Issue 99g

"[This book] is an incredible achievement. ... [T]he handbook is complete. If I want to check what problems there were with a proposed system, determine how the variations on a particular algorithm developed, see what research preceded and followed an idea, I go to the Handbook. The Handbook has accurate, clear, and correct information. It is wonderful. ... If I were limited to only one cryptography text on my shelves, it would be the Handbook of Applied Cryptography."
