From the back cover:
<< BEGIN QUOTE >> Cryptography, in particular public-key cryptography, has emerged in the las 20 years as an important discipline that is not only the subject of an enormous amount of research, but provides the foundation for information security in many applications. Standards are emerging to meet the demands for cryptographic protection in most areas of data communications. Public- key cryptographic techniques are now in widespread use in industry, especially in the financial services industry, in the public sector, and by individuals for their personal privacy, such as in electronic mail. This Handbook will serve as a valuable reference for the novice as well as for the expert who needs a wider scope of coverage within the aread of cryptography. It is a necessary and timely guide for professionals who practice the art of cryptography.
The _Handbook_of_Applied_Cryptography_ provides a treatment that is multifunctional:
* It serves as an introduction to the more practical aspects of both conventional and public-key cryptography
* It is a valuable source of the latest techniques and algorithms for the serious practitioner
* It provides an integrated treatment of the field, whil still presenting each major topic as a self-contained unit
* It provides a mathematical treatment to accompany practical discussions
* It contains enough abstractoin to be a valuable reference for theoreticians while containing enough detail to actually allow implementation of the algorithms discussed
This is the definitive cryptography reference that novice as well as experienced developers, designers, researchers, engineers, computer scientists, and mathematicials alike will find indispensable. << END QUOTE >>
