With Google Web Toolkit, Java developers can build sophisticated Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) and complete Web sites using the powerful IDEs and tools they already use. Now, with GWT 2, Google Web Toolkit has become even more useful. Essential GWT shows how to use this latest version of GWT to create production solutions...

Encryption for Digital Content is an area in cryptography that is widely used in commercial productions (e.g., Blu-Ray and HD-DVDs). This book provides a comprehensive mathematical treatment of combinatorial encryption techniques used in digital content distribution systems and related attack models. A complete description of...

It may sound less surprising that in a field with such a revolutionary methodological impact on all sciences and...

I am very pleased to have this new book in the Aho/Ullman series Principles of Computer Science. I see this book as a major step toward making computer science theory accessible to the wide range of students who need to know the subject. It covers a good segment of the classical material on data structures and algorithms, but it does so in a...

It’s a guide on Microsoft Enterprise Library and it’s meant to guide you through how to apply .NET for enterprise development. Enterprise Library, developed by the patterns & practices group, is a collection...

The RSA conference was initiated in 1991 and is a major international event for cryptography and information security researchers as well as the industry related to these disciplines. It is an annual event that attracts hundreds of vendors and thousands of participants from industry and academia. Since 2001, the RSA conference has included...

The authors present a comprehensive study of efficient protocols and techniques for secure two-party computation – both general constructions that can be used to securely compute any functionality, and protocols for specific problems of interest. The book focuses on techniques for constructing efficient protocols and proving them...

Secret writing for the transmission of messages has been practiced for nearly 4,000 years. According to David Kahn, the great historian of cryptology, the first example of an intentionally altered message can be traced to a tomb in ancient Egypt dated about 1900 b.c. In the 40 centuries since that...

In his first book since the bestselling Fermat's Enigma, Simon Singh offers the first sweeping history of encryption, tracing its evolution and revealing the dramatic effects codes have had on wars, nations, and individual lives. From Mary, Queen of Scots, trapped by her own code, to the Navajo Code Talkers who helped the Allies...

Randomization has become a standard approach in algorithm design. Efficiency and simplicity are the main features of randomized algorithms that often made randomization a miraculous springboard for solving complex problems in various applications. Especially in the areas of communication, cryptography, data management, and discrete...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 31st Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO 2011, held in Santa Barbara, CA, USA in August 2011. The 42 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 230 submissions. The volume also contains the abstract of one invited talk. The papers are organized...
