This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book. The Principles and Practice of Cryptography and Network Security Stallings’ Cryptography and Network Security, Seventh Edition, introduces the reader to the compelling and evolving field of cryptography and network security. In an age of viruses and hackers, electronic eavesdropping, 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 a 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. The Seventh Edition streamlines subject matter with new and updated material — including Sage, one of the most important features of the book. Sage is an open-source, multiplatform, freeware package that implements a very powerful, flexible, and easily learned mathematics and computer algebra system. It provides hands-on experience with cryptographic algorithms and supporting homework assignments. With Sage, the reader learns a powerful tool that can be used for virtually any mathematical application. The book also provides an unparalleled degree of support for the reader to ensure a successful learning experience.

Resource added for the Network Specialist (IT) program 101502.

The Third International Conference on Network Security and Applications (CNSA-2010) focused on all technical and practical aspects of security and its applications for wired and wireless networks. The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to focus on understanding modern security threats and countermeasures, and establishing new collaborations in these areas. Authors are invited to contribute to the conference by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, survey work and industrial experiences describing significant advances in the areas of security and its applications, including: • Network and Wireless Network Security • Mobile, Ad Hoc and Sensor Network Security • Peer-to-Peer Network Security • Database and System Security • Intrusion Detection and Prevention • Internet Security, and Applications Security and Network Management • E-mail Security, Spam, Phishing, E-mail Fraud • Virus, Worms, Trojon Protection • Security Threats and Countermeasures (DDoS, MiM, Session Hijacking, Replay attack etc. ) • Ubiquitous Computing Security • Web 2. 0 Security • Cryptographic Protocols • Performance Evaluations of Protocols and Security Application There were 182 submissions to the conference and the Program Committee selected 63 papers for publication. The book is organized as a collection of papers from the First International Workshop on Trust Management in P2P Systems (IWTMP2PS 2010), the First International Workshop on Database Management Systems (DMS- 2010), and the First International Workshop on Mobile, Wireless and Networks Security (MWNS-2010).
