More Description
This ebook covers the Cryptography Domain. Cryptography is the use of deception and mathematics, to hide data, as in steganography, to render data unintelligible through the transformation of data into an unreadable state, and to ensure that a message has not been altered in transit. Another feature of some cryptographic systems is the ability to provide assurance of who sent the message, authentication of source, and proof of delivery.
The book covers the basic concepts within cryptography; public and private key algorithms in terms of their applications and uses; algorithm construction, key distribution and management, and methods of attack; and the applications, construction, and use of digital signatures to provide authenticity of electronic transactions, and non-repudiation of the parties involved.
