For coursesin Cryptography, Computer Security, and Network Security.
Keep pacewith the fast-moving field of cryptography and network security
Stallings’ Cryptographyand Network Security: Principles and Practice introduces studentsto the compelling and evolving field of cryptography and network security. Inan age of viruses and hackers, electronic eavesdropping, and electronic fraudon a global scale, security is paramount. The purpose of this book is to providea practical survey of both the principles and practice of cryptography andnetwork security. The first part of the book explores the basic issues to beaddressed by a network security capability and provides a tutorial and surveyof cryptography and network security technology. The latter part of the bookdeals with the practice of network security, covering practical applicationsthat have been implemented and are in use to provide network security.

About the Author :
Dr. William Stallings hasauthored 19 titles, and counting revised editions, over 40 books on computersecurity, computer networking, and computer architecture. His writings haveappeared in numerous publications, including the Proceedings of the IEEE,ACM Computing Reviews and Cryptologia. He has received 13 times theaward for the best Computer Science textbook of the year from the Text andAcademic Authors Association.
In over 30 years in thefield, he has been a technical contributor, technical manager, and an executivewith several high-technology firms. He has designed and implemented both TCP/IP-basedand OSI-based protocol suites on a variety of computers and operating systems,ranging from microcomputers to mainframes. As a consultant, he has advisedgovernment agencies, computer and software vendors, and major users on thedesign, selection, and use of networking software and products.
He created andmaintains the Computer Science Student Resource Site atComputerScienceStudent.com. This site provides documents and links on a varietyof subjects of general interest to computer science students (andprofessionals). He is a member of the editorial board of Cryptologia, ascholarly journal devoted to all aspects of cryptology.
Dr. Stallings holds aPhD from MIT in computer science and a BS from Notre Dame in electricalengineering.
