THE LEGACY...

First introduced in 1995, Cryptography: Theory and Practice garnered enor ssus praise and popularity, and soon became the standard textbook for cryptography courses around the world. The second edition was equally embraced, and both edi trons enjoy status as perennial bestsellers. Now in its third edition, this authoritative text continues to provale a solid foundation for future breakthroughs in cryptography.

WHY A THIRD EDITION?

The art and science of cryptography has been evolving for thousands of years. Now, with unprecedented amounts of information circling the globe, we must be prepared to face new threats and employ new encryption schemes on an ongoing basis. This edi Lob updates relevant chapters with the latest advances and includes chapters covering

Pseudo-musdom bit generation in cryptography

Entity authentication, including scliemes built from primitives and special purpose "zero-knowledge" schemes

Key establishuncat including key distribution and protocols for key agreement, both with a greater emphasis no security models and proofs

Public-key infrastructure, including identity-based cryptography

Secret sharing schemes

Multicast security, including broadcast encryption and copyright protection

THE RESULT...

Providing tonthematical background in a "just-in-time fashion, informal descrip tions of cryptosystems along with more precise pseudo-code, and a host of muneri- cal examples and excrcises, Cryptography: Theory and Practice, Third Edi- tion offers comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the methods and protocols needed to safeguard the mind-boggling amount of information circulating around the world.
