Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Cryptography and Network Security: Principles and Practice (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
As CTO of an internet security company I am often required to locate information or explain concepts to people regarding network security and the Public Key Infrastructure. Having a ready reference with excellent drawings has made the communication of key concepts easy. For details of implementations, I send the engineers to Applied Cryptography, but for the overview of the Net protocols, I bought everyone in the company this book.
