A tutorial and survey covering both cryptography and network security protocols and technology. Each of the basic topics of cryptography, including conventional and public-key cryptography, authentication, and digital signatures, are covered. Thorough mathematical background is provided for such algorithms as AES and RSA. The book covers important network security tools and applications, including S/MIME, IP Security, Kerberos, SSL/TLS, and X509v3. In addition, methods for countering hackers and viruses are explored. Second edition received the TAA award for the best Computer Science and Engineering Textbook of 1999.
