Cryptography Engineering

Niels Ferguson works for Microsoft as a cryptographer, designing and implementing cryptographic algorithms, protocols, and large-scale security infrastructures. Bruce Schneier is a world-renowned security expert whose advice is sought by businesses, governments, and the media. He is the author of several books, including Applied Cryptography, Secrets and Lies, and Schneier on Security. Tadayoshi Kohno is a University of Washington professor. He is well-known for his research and for pioneering novel approaches to cryptography and computer security education.

Cryptography is critical to keeping information secure in an era when the formula for doing so becomes increasingly difficult. This essential guide, written by a team of world-renowned cryptography experts, is the definitive introduction to all major areas of cryptography: message security, key negotiation, and key management. You will discover how to think like a cryptographer. You'll learn how to build cryptography into products from the ground up, as well as examine the many technical changes in the field.

Following an introduction to cryptography and what it means today, this indispensable resource delves into block ciphers, block modes, hash functions, encryption modes, message authentication codes, implementation issues, negotiation protocols, and more. Examples and hands-on exercises help you better understand the multifaceted field of cryptography.

• An author team of internationally recognized cryptography experts keeps you up to date on important cryptography topics.
• Demonstrates how to incorporate cryptography into products from the start.
• Examines cryptographic updates and changes
• Key servers, message security, authentication codes, new standards, block ciphers, message authentication codes, and other topics are covered.

Cryptography Engineering introduces you to the ever-changing field of cryptography.
