false 351302 1 <P>Cryptography, in particular public-key cryptography, has emerged in the last 20 years as an important discipline that is not only the subject of an enormous amount of research, but provides the foundation for information security in many applications. Standards are emerging to meet the demands for cryptographic protection in most areas of data communications. Public-key cryptographic techniques are now in widespread use, especially in the financial services industry, in the public sector, and by individuals for their personal privacy, such as in electronic mail. This Handbook will serve as a valuable reference for the novice as well as for the expert who needs a wider scope of coverage within the area of cryptography. It is a necessary and timely guide for professionals who practice the art of cryptography. The Handbook of Applied Cryptography provides a treatment that is multifunctional: · It serves as an introduction to the more practical aspects of both conventional and public-key cryptography · It is a valuable source of the latest techniques and algorithms for the serious practitioner · It provides an integrated treatment of the field, while still presenting each major topic as a self-contained unit · It provides a mathematical treatment to accompany practical discussions · It contains enough abstraction to be a valuable reference for theoreticians while containing enough detail to actually allow implementation of the algorithms discussed Now in its third printing, this is the definitive cryptography reference that the novice as well as experienced developers, designers, researchers, engineers, computer scientists, and mathematicians alike will use.</P> 341535 16 12 1996 Handbook of Applied Cryptography (Crc Press Series on Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications) total:15|5:4|4:6|3:4|2:1| 15 58 32 1 0 0 false false Mon Oct 27 19:41:42 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 27 19:41:58 -0700 2008 http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/]]> 0 0 false false Fri Jul 31 13:15:14 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 17:21:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 29 10:18:15 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 10:18:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 28 20:58:10 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 21:37:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 19 00:04:13 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 09:05:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 04 13:50:40 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 13:50:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 24 21:28:49 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 24 21:28:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 05 12:45:21 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 12:45:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 22 11:05:14 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 11:05:14 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat Mar 07 09:01:38 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 09:01:38 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 19 08:59:33 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 08:59:34 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Nov 24 14:46:07 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 14:46:07 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Nov 14 23:03:44 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 23:03:46 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Nov 08 04:39:19 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 08 04:39:19 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Nov 04 13:47:13 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 04 13:47:32 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Oct 14 06:04:12 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 14 06:04:15 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Oct 09 14:36:45 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 09 14:36:45 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Sep 14 11:35:38 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 14 11:35:38 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jul 22 08:25:30 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 22 08:25:30 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jul 17 18:50:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 17 18:50:00 -0700 2008
