Computer Science

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 - 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.

• NEW - On-line transparency masters, an Internet mailing list, and links to relevant Instructor's Support web site are available via http://www.shore.net/~ws/Security2e.html.

William Stallings has made a unique contribution to understanding the broad sweep of technical developments in computer networking and computer architecture. He has authored 17 titles, and counting revised editions, a total of 37 books on various aspects of these subjects. He is an independent consultant whose clients have included computer and networking manufacturers and customers, software development firms, and leading-edge government research institutions. Dr. Stallings holds a Ph.D from M.I.T. in Computer Science and a B.S. from Notre Dame in Electrical Engineering.

1. Introduction.

I. CONVENTIONAL ENCRYPTION.

II. PUBLIC-KEY ENCRYPTION AND HASH FUNCTIONS.

III. NETWORK SECURITY PRACTICE.

IV. SYSTEM SECURITY.

Network Security (Computer Science)

For one-semester, undergraduate- or graduate-level courses in Cryptography, Computer Security, and Network Security.

 

In this age of viruses and hackers, of electronic eavesdropping and electronic fraud, security is paramount.

As the disciplines of cryptography and network security have matured, more practical, readily available applications to enforce network security have developed. This text provides a practical survey of both the principles and practice of cryptography and network security. First, the basic issues to be addressed by a network security capability are explored through a tutorial and survey of cryptography and network security technology. Then, the practice of network security is explored via practical applications that have been implemented and are in use today.
