Cryptography is the key to securing the Internet If every communication
network were to use a secure system based on encryption, then viruses,
worms and hackers would have a very hard time. Unfortunately, this
scenario does not reflect the reality of the Internet world today.
However, with security issues becoming more and more important
internationally, engineers of the future will be required to design
tougher, safer systems. This book takes a long-term view. It is not a
‘how-to’ implementation guide for today’s practitioners. It is a
training text for the engineers of the future. Features: Detailed
discussion of block cipher design principles, including coverage of
IDEA, RC5, RC6, Triple DES and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
Information on hash functions and message digests, including the latest
protocols for digital signature, authentication and key-sharing HMAC.
Expanded coverage of public-key encryption/signature algorithms,
including Diffie-Hellman secret key exchange, RSA, ElGamal, Schnorr,
DSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Profiles for Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) Complete and detailed guides to the entire TCP/IP
protocol suite IPsec for network-layer security PGP and S/MIME for
e-mail security SSL/TLS for transport-layer security Firewalls for
trusted systems SET security protocols used in the smart card As well
as providing an in-depth introduction to relevant cryptographic
principles, algorithms and protocols, Internet Security links them to
the technologies in use on the Internet today. State-of-the-art
analyses of IETF standards plus summaries and explanations of RFC
documents, numerous examples and a list of frequently used acronyms
make this book a comprehensive and valuable reference for students,
researchers and professional engineers alike - anyone engaged in the
long-term development of secure systems.
