Cryptography and Network Security: Principles and Practice (7th Edition)

Description

Keep pace with the fast-moving field of cryptography and network security with Cryptography and Network Security. Stallings’ Cryptography and Network Security introduces you to the compelling and evolving field of cryptography and network security. The purpose of this text is to provide a practical survey of both the principles and practice of cryptography and network security.

Pearson brings to you the revised edition of Cryptography and Network Security by Stallings. In an age of viruses and hackers, electronic eavesping, and electronic fraud on a global scale, security is paramount. The purpose of this book is to provide a practical survey of both the principles and practice of cryptography and network security.

In the first part of the book, the basic issues to be addressed by network security capability are explored by providing a tutorial and survey of cryptography and network security technology. The latter part of the book deals with the practice of network security—practical applications that have been implemented and are in use to provide network security.
