Cryptology includes data encryption (cryptography), cryptographic protocols and code breaking to provide the fundamentals of data security. This new book introduces cryptography in a unique and non-mathematical style. Cryptology Unlocked explains encryption, crypto analysis (classic and modern algorithms), cryptographic protocols, digital standards and much more. This innovative book will reveal some of the dangers of code breaking, and highlights ways to master code-breaking and attack algorithms. Topics range from the simplest enciphering methods to precise investigations of modern algorithms. Everything you need to understand the delicate balance between complex and actual information, with a peppering of anecdotes along the way. Join the cryptology adventure, and understand: The difference between good and bad algorithms Whether or not secret services can read all messages The real-world affect cryptography had on World War II The unspoken security risks behind digital mobile standards GSM and UMTS The everyday implications on digital signatures, PINs and online banking

Cryptology has long been employed by governments, militaries, and businesses to protect private communications. This anthology provides readers with a revealing look into the world of cryptology. The techniques used to disguise messages are explained, as well as the methods used to crack the codes and ciphers of encrypted messages. Readers will discover how cutting edge forensic science reveals the clues in the tiniest bits of evidence. A fact versus fiction section helps keep concepts rooted in known truths.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Cryptology and Network Security, CANS 2013, held in Paraty, Brazil, in November 2013. The 18 revised full papers presented together with four invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on cryptanalysis, zero-knowledge protocols, distributed protocols, network security and applications, advanced cryptographic primitives, and verifiable computation.

Winner of an Outstanding Academic Title Award from CHOICE MagazineMost available cryptology books primarily focus on either mathematics or history. Breaking this mold, Secret History: The Story of Cryptology gives a thorough yet accessible treatment of both the mathematics and history of cryptology. Requiring minimal mathematical prerequisites, the

With the prevalence of digital information, IT professionals have encountered new challenges regarding data security. In an effort to address these challenges and offer solutions for securing digital information, new research on cryptology methods is essential. Multidisciplinary Perspectives in Cryptology and Information Security considers an array of multidisciplinary applications and research developments in the field of cryptology and communication security. This publication offers a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of encryption solutions and will be of particular interest to IT professionals, cryptologists, and researchers in the field.
