This book is based on a course in cryptography at the upper level under
graduate and beginning graduate level that has been given at the University
of Maryland since 1997. When designing the course, we decided on the fol
lowing requirements.
• The course should be up-to-date and cover a broad selection of topics

With the current ubiquity of computer networks and distributed systems in general, and the Internet in particular, cryptography has become an enabling technology to secure the information infrastructure(s) we are building, using, and counting on in daily life. This is particularly true for modern cryptography.5 The important role...
The book moves forward with more advanced algorithms that implement strategies for solving more complicated problems (including dynamic programming techniques, greedy algorithms, and amortized analysis). Algorithms for graphing problems (used in such real-world business problems as optimizing flight schedules or flow through pipelines) come next....
The book is designed to be accessible to motivated IT professionals who want to learn more about the specific attacks covered. In particular, every effort has been made to keep the chapters independent, so if someone is interested in has function cryptanalysis or RSA timing attacks, they do not necessarily need to study all of the previous material...
When an intruder, worm, virus, or automated attack succeeds in targeting a computer system, having specific controls and a response plan in place can greatly lessen losses. Accordingly, businesses are realizing that it is unwise to invest resources in preventing computer-related security incidents without equal consideration of how to detect and...

An essential anti-phishing desk reference for anyone with an email address
Phishing Dark Waters addresses the growing and continuing scourge of phishing emails, and provides actionable defensive techniques and tools to help you steer clear of malicious emails. Phishing is analyzed from the viewpoint of human...
If every communication network were to use a secure system based on encryption, then viruses, worms and hackers would have a very hard time. Unfortunately, this scenario does not reflect the reality of the Internet world today. However, with security issues becoming more and more important...
SAC 2002 was the Ninth Annual Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography. Previous workshops have been held at Queen’s University in Kingston (1994, 1996, 1998, and 1999), Carleton University in Ottawa (1995 and 1997), University of Waterloo (2000), and the Fields Institute in Toronto (2001). The intent of the workshop is to provide a...
