Synopsis

For courses in Cryptography, Computer Security, and Network Security.

Keep pace with the fast-moving field of cryptography and network security

Stallings’ Cryptography and Network Security: Principles and Practice introduces students to the compelling and evolving field of cryptography and network security. In an age of viruses and hackers, electronic eavesdropping, and electronic fraud on a global scale, security is paramount. The purpose of this book is to provide a practical survey of both the principles and practice of cryptography and network security. The first part of the book explores the basic issues to be addressed by a network security capability and provides a tutorial and survey of cryptography and network security technology. The latter part of the book deals with the practice of network security, covering practical applications that have been implemented and are in use to provide network security.
