Cryptography is a vital technology that underpins the security of
information in computer networks. This book presents a comprehensive
introduction to the role that cryptography plays in providing
information security for technologies such as the Internet, mobile
phones, payment cards, and wireless local area networks. Focusing on
the fundamental principles that ground modern cryptography as they
arise in modern applications, it avoids both an over-reliance on
transient current technologies and over-whelming theoretical research.
Everyday Cryptography is a self-contained and widely accessible
introductory text. Almost no prior knowledge of mathematics is
required since the book deliberately avoids the details of the
mathematical techniques underpinning cryptographic mechanisms, though
a short appendix is included for those looking for a deeper
appreciation of some of the concepts involved. By the end of this
book, the reader will not only be able to understand the practical
issues concerned with the deployment of cryptographic mechanisms,
including the management of cryptographic keys, but will also be able
to interpret future developments in this fascinating and increasingly
important area of technology.
