Book Description
Two of the world s top experts in cryptography teach you how to secure your digital future In today s world, security is a top concern for businesses worldwide. Without a secure computer system, you don t make money, you don t expand, and bottom line you don t survive. Cryptography holds great promise as the technology to provide security in cyberspace. Amazingly enough, no literature exists about how to implement cryptography and how to incorporate it into real-world systems. With Practical Cryptography, an author team of international renown provides you with the first hands-on cryptographic product implementation guide, bridging the gap between cryptographic theory and real-world cryptographic applications. This follow-up guide to the bestselling Applied Cryptography dives in and explains the how-to of cryptography. You ll find discussions on: Practical rules for choosing and using cryptographic primitives, from block ciphers to digital signatures Implementing cryptographic algorithms and systems in a secure way on today s computers A consistent design philosophy to ensure that every part of the system achieves the required security level Why security affects every part of the system, and why it has to be a primary goal of the project How simple interfaces for cryptographic primitives reduce system complexity and increase system security
