Hashing in Computer Science (eBook, ePUB)

Fifty Years of Slicing and Dicing

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Written by one of the developers of the technology, Hashing is both a historical document on the development of hashing and an analysis of the applications of hashing in a society increasingly concerned with security. The material in this book is based on courses taught by the author, and key points are reinforced in sample problems and an accompanying instructor s manual. Graduate students and researchers in mathematics, cryptography, and security will benefit from this overview of hashing and the complicated mathematics that it requires.

Autorenporträt

Alan G. Konheim, PhD, is Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at the University of Californa, Santa Barbara. Dr. Konheim's early work at IBM led to the Data Encryption Standard (DES), which was evaluated by his Yorktown Probability and Cryptography Group. DES was certified as a national standard in the 1970s. Dr. Konheim continues to consult the government in the area of cryptanalysis.
