Elegant text on Cryptography An elegant and detailed text on cryptography and network security. A good starting point for beginners and a fine reference for domain experts. The writing style is crisp and, at times, quite humorous making the book an interesting read. | ||
A good book. This book is great. Hope the authors will plan to include wireless network security in the 3rd edition. | ||
Good Book! I had to use this book when I was in Graduate school and this was the course book. I still have the first edition and looking to purchase the latest version. It was very interesting information I didnt get anywhere before. I remember in my company some very Sr. developers were working to understand how to implement machine authentication, and they were using it. Having used it before and with my course notes I helped them out. What a name for me :). I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the network security. At least it is not as ridiculously expensive as Tanenbaum books. Yes it is very mathematical but remember this is a computer science book meant for actual software engineers. People with no computer science background but working in industry might find it difficult in the beginning. | ||
Network Security This is a very good book on network security. It is a bit too technical for leisure/work reading. I got this book because it is a required text for my graduate class. | ||
Excellent Textbook Great book for learning cryptography, authentication, or about Internet Standards such as PKI and Kerberos. It is heavy on the math and theory aspects, the book actually includes an interesting chapter on Number Theory. The last chapter entitled Folklore is a refreshing way to cap off the book. The one catch is that there is little to no pseudo-code included with the examples, so you code junkies will have to start from scratch. Overall the author's attempt at a light approach to dense material helps ease the fact that it really is dense material. It covers the bases and has some nice extra material. | ||
