This book has been written keeping in mind syllabi of all Indian universities and optimized the contents of the book accordingly. These students are the book's primary audience. Cryptographic concepts are explained using diagrams to illustrate component relationships and data flows. At every step aim is to examine the relationship between the security measures and the vulnerabilities they address. This will guide readers in safely applying cryptographic techniques. This book is also intended for people who know very little about cryptography but need to make technical decisions about cryptographic security. many people face this situation when they need to transmit business data safely over the Internet. This often includes people responsible for the data, like business analysts and managers. as well as those who must install and maintain the protections, like information systems administrators and managers. This book requires no prior knowledge of cryptography or related mathematics. Descriptions of low-level crypto mechanisms focus on presenting the concepts instead of the details. This book is intended as a reference book for professional cryptographers, presenting the techniques and algorithms of greatest interest of the current practitioner, along with the supporting motivation and background material. It also provides a comprehensive source from which to learn cryptography, serving both students and instructors. In addition, the rigorous treatment, breadth, and extensive bibliographic material should make it an important reference for research professionals. While composing this book my intention was not to introduce a collection of new techniques and protocols, but rather to selectively present techniques from those currently available in the public domain.
For one-semester, undergraduate- or graduate-level courses in Cryptography, Computer Security, and Network Security A practical survey of cryptography and network security with unmatched support for instructors and students In this age of universal electronic connectivity, viruses and hackers, electronic eavesdropping, and electronic fraud, security is paramount. This text provides a practical survey of both the principles and practice of cryptography and network security. First, the basic issues to be addressed by a network security capability are explored through a tutorial and survey of cryptography and network security technology. Then, the practice of network security is explored via practical applications that have been implemented and are in use today. An unparalleled support package for instructors and students ensures a successful teaching and learning experience. Teaching and Learning Experience To provide a better teaching and learning experience, for both instructors and students, this program will: Support Instructors and Students: An unparalleled support package for instructors and students ensures a successful teaching and learning experience. Apply Theory and/or the Most Updated Research: A practical survey of both the principles and practice of cryptography and network security. Engage Students with Hands-on Projects: Relevant projects demonstrate the importance of the subject, offer a real-world perspective, and keep students interested.

This book is an introduction to fundamental concepts in the fields of cryptography and network security. Because cryptography is highly vulnerable to program errors, a simple testing of the cryptosystem will usually uncover a security vulnerability. In this book the author takes the reader through all of the important design and implementation details of various cryptographic algorithms and network security protocols to enforce network security. The book is divided into four parts: Cryptography, Security Systems, Network Security Applications, and System Security. Numerous diagrams and examples throughout the book are used to explain cryptography and network security concepts. FEATURES: Covers key concepts related to cryptography and network security Includes chapters on modern symmetric key block cipher algorithms, information security, message integrity, authentication, digital signature, key management, intruder detection, network layer security, data link layer security, NSM, firewall design, and more.
Starting with the historical evolution of computer and communications networks and their security, the book then arrives at the main definitions of cryptography and network security. Next, the basics of information theory, how to measure information, the information associated with a certain source are also discussed. Source codes are presented, along with the concepts of information transmission, joint information, conditional entropy, mutual information and channel capacity. Computer networks are discussed, including the main protocols and network architectures, and the important TCP/IP protocol. Network security, a topic intrinsically connected to computer networks and the Internet, is presented, along with information about basic hacker attacks, alternatives to prevent attacks, data protection and secure protocols. The information theoretical aspects of cryptography are described including the hash function. An appendix includes a review of probability theory. Illustrations and graphics will help the reader understand the theory.
