Synopses & Reviews
* Cryptography is the study of message secrecy and is used in fields such as computer science, computer and network security, and even in instances of everyday life, such as ATM cards, computer passwords, and electronic commerce. Thanks to his innovative and ingenious books on the subject of cryptography, Bruce Schneier has become the world's most famous security expert. Now, his trio of revolutionary titles can be found in this unprecedented, value-priced collection.
* Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C, Second Edition: This seminal encyclopedic reference provides readers with a comprehensive survey of modern cryptography. It describes dozens of cryptography algorithms, offers practical advice on how to implement them into cryptographic software, and shows how they can be used to solve security problems.
* Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World: This narrative, straight-talking bestseller explains how to achieve security throughout computer networks. Schneier examines exactly what cryptography can and cannot do for the technical and business community.
* Practical Cryptography: As the ideal guide for an engineer, systems engineer or technology professional who wants to learn how to actually incorporate cryptography into a product, this book bridges the gap between textbook cryptography and cryptography in the real world.
Synopsis
Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C, Second Edition: provides the reader with a comprehensive survey of modern cryptography. It describes dozens of cryptography algorithms, gives practical advice on how to implement them into cryptographic software, and shows how they can be used to solve security problems. Covering practical cryptographic techniques, shows programmers who design computer applications, networks, and storage systems how they can build security into their software and systems. Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World (paper conversion): Provides a practical, straight-forward guide to achieving security throughout computer networks. No theory, no math, no fiction of what should be working but isn't, just the facts. Schneier's tutorial on just what cryptography (a subset of computer security) can and can not do for them, has received far-reaching praise from both the technical and business community is a popular chapter. Practical Cryptography: is the ideal guide for an engineer or systems engineer or technology professional who wants to learn how to actually incorporate cryptography into a product. This book bridges the gap between textbook cryptography and cryptography in the real world.
