In our Internet age, cryptography's most widespread application may be for commerce, from protecting the security of electronic transfers to guarding communication from industrial espionage. This accessible introduction for undergraduates explains the cryptographic protocols for achieving privacy of communication and the use of digital signatures for certifying the validity, integrity, and origin of a message, document, or program. Rather than offering a how-to on configuring web browsers and e-mail programs, the author provides a guide to the principles and elementary mathematics underlying modern cryptography, giving readers a look under the hood for security techniques and the reasons they are thought to be secure"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Computer security. 650 0 $a Data encryption (Computer science) 650 0 $a Digital signatures. 650 0 $a Telecommunication $x Safety measures. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707013941.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=861F6E2A6B5511E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
