The book details howprogrammers and electronic communications professionals can usecryptography-the technique of enciphering and decipheringmessages-to maintain the privacy of computer data. It describesdozens of cryptography algorithms, gives practical advice on how toimplement them into cryptographic software, and shows how they canbe used to solve security problems. Covering the latestdevelopments in practical cryptographic techniques, this newedition shows programmers who design computer applications, networks, and storage systems how they can build security intotheir software and systems. What's new in the Second Edition? * New information on the Clipper Chip, including ways to defeat thekey escrow mechanism * New encryption algorithms, including algorithms from the formerSoviet Union and South Africa, and the RC4 stream cipher * The latest protocols for digital signatures, authentication, secure elections, digital cash, and more * More detailed information on key management and cryptographicimplementations
