Cryptography has made a peculiar journey to become a modern science. It had long been associated with the military and with magic. The rst published work in the eld was Steganographia, by an alchemist named Trithemius. Although written earlier, the book was published in 1606. Cryptography has continued this connection with the arcane...

When carefully selected and used, Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) may simplify complex code, promote effective communication with customers, improve productivity, and unclog development bottlenecks. In Domain-Specific Languages, noted software development expert Martin Fowler first provides the information software...

Historically, computer security is related to both cryptography and access control in operating systems. Cryptography, although mostly applied in the military and diplomacy, was used to protect communication channels and storage facilities (especially the backups). In the seventies there was a breakthrough in cryptography - the...
