Description

A growing proportion of applications and protocols used over the Internet either have significant security-related features or have as their primary purpose the provision of some security facility. Many of these applications and protocols use cryptographic algorithms to implement security services. This book provides you with a comprehensive introduction to the use of cryptographic algorithms in data network security, with a special emphasis on practical internetworking applications. The book focuses on the underlying principles and main approaches to cryptography, and covers both conventional and public-key encryption and the most important algorithms, including DES, triple DES, RSA, and IDEA. Furthermore, the text discusses issues concerning authentication and digital signatures and explains the use of public-key encryption and secure hash functions in this context. It concludes with an examination into the practical uses of cryptographic algorithms in some key inter-networking applications.x, 356 p. : 28 cm.Includes bibliographical references (p. 347-354).
