Build more secure crypto systems--and prove their trustworthiness Modern
Cryptography is the indispensable resource for every technical professional who
needs to implement strong security in real-world applications.

Leading HP security expert Wenbo Mao explains why "textbook" crypto schemes,
protocols, and systems are profoundly vulnerable by revealing
real-world-scenario attacks. Next, he shows how to realize cryptographic systems
and protocols that are truly "fit for application"--and formally demonstrates
their fitness. Mao presents practical examples throughout and provides all the
mathematical background you'll need.

Coverage includes:

* Crypto foundations: probability, information theory, computational
complexity, number theory, algebraic techniques, and more
* Authentication: basic techniques and principles vs. misconceptions and
consequential attacks
* Evaluating real-world protocol standards including IPSec, IKE, SSH, TLS
(SSL), and Kerberos
* Designing stronger counterparts to vulnerable "textbook" crypto schemes

Mao introduces formal and reductionist methodologies to prove the
"fit-for-application" security of practical encryption, signature, signcryption,
and authentication schemes. He gives detailed explanations for zero-knowledge
protocols: definition, zero-knowledge properties, equatability vs.
simulatability, argument vs. proof, round-efficiency, and non-interactive
versions.
