Appropriate for undergraduate and graduate level courses in Cryptography and Computer security. Best-selling author and two-time winner of the TEXTY award for the best Computer Science and Engineering text, William Stallings provides a practical survey of both the principles and practice of cryptography and network security. This text, which won the 1999 TAA Award for the best computer science and engineering textbook of the year, has been completely updated to reflect the latest developments in the field. It has also been extensively reorganized to provide the optimal sequence for classroom instruction and self-study.




Represents the only book currently available that provides both...

• (1) A comprehensive treatment of cryptography, including design principles and up-to-date descriptions of current cryptographic algorithms.
• (2) An in-depth survey of network-based and Internet-based security applications.

Offers an Instructor's Manual that includes programming projects and research & report assignments. NEW TO THIS EDITION
NEW— Discussion of block cipher design principles, plus coverage of Blowfish, CAST-128, Triple DES and other algorithms.
NEW— Chapters on IP security and Web security.

• Looks at system-level security issues, including the threat of and counter measures for intruders and viruses, and the use of firewalls and trusted systems.
• Expanded coverage of public-key encryption algorithm and design principles, including RSA and elliptic curve cryptography.
• Covers important network security tools and applications, including Kerberos, X.509v3, PGP, S/MIME, IP security, SSL/TLS, and SET.
