{"product_id":"9780134171845","title":"Modern Cryptography: Theory and Practice","description":"\u003cp\u003eLeading 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCoverage includes: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Crypto foundations: probability, information theory, computational complexity, number theory, algebraic techniques, and more \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Authentication: basic techniques and principles vs. misconceptions and consequential attacks \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Evaluating real-world protocol standards including IPSec, IKE, SSH, TLS (SSL), and Kerberos \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Designing stronger counterparts to vulnerable \"textbook\" crypto schemes \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eMao introduces formal and reductionist methodologies to prove the \"fit-for-application\" security of practical encryption, signature, signcryption, and authentication schemes.
