Release Notes

From the Rosetta Stone to public-key cryptography, the art and science of
cryptology has been used to unlock the vivid history of ancient cultures, to
turn the tide of warfare, and to thwart potential hackers from attacking
computer systems. Codes: The Guide to Secrecy from Ancient to Modern Times
explores the depth and breadth of the field, remaining accessible to the
uninitiated while retaining enough rigor for the seasoned cryptologist. The book
begins by tracing the development of cryptology from that of an arcane practice
used, for example, to conceal alchemic recipes, to the modern scientific method
that is studied and employed today. The remainder of the book explores the
modern aspects and applications of cryptography, covering symmetric- and
public-key cryptography, cryptographic protocols, key management, message
authentication, e-mail and Internet security, and advanced applications such as
wireless security, smart cards, biometrics, and quantum cryptography. The author
also includes non-cryptographic security issues and a chapter devoted to
information theory and coding. Nearly 200 diagrams, examples, figures, and
tables along with abundant references and exercises complement the discussion.
Written by leading authority and best-selling author on the subject Richard A.
Mollin, Codes: The Guide to Secrecy from Ancient to Modern Times is the
essential reference for anyone interested in this exciting and fascinating
field, from novice to veteran practitioner.
