Note publique d'information : Research over the last two decades has considerably expanded knowledge of Internet
cryptography, revealing the important interplay between standardization, implementation,
and research. This practical textbook/guide is intended for academic courses in IT
security and as a reference guide for Internet security. It describes important Internet
standards in a language close to real-world cryptographic research and covers the
essential cryptographic standards used on the Internet, from WLAN encryption to TLS
and e-mail security. From academic and non-academic research, the book collects information
about attacks on implementations of these standards (because these attacks are the
main source of new insights into real-world cryptography). By summarizing all this
in one place, this useful volume can highlight cross-influences in standards, as well
as similarities in cryptographic constructions. Topics and features: · Covers the
essential standards in Internet cryptography · Integrates work exercises and problems
in each chapter · Focuses especially on IPsec, secure e-mail and TLS · Summarizes
real-world cryptography in three introductory chapters · Includes necessary background
from computer networks · Keeps mathematical formalism to a minimum, and treats cryptographic
primitives mainly as blackboxes · Provides additional background on web security in
two concluding chapters Offering a uniquely real-world approach to Internet cryptography,
this textbook/reference will be highly suitable to students in advanced courses on
cryptography/cryptology, as well as eminently useful to professionals looking to expand
their background and expertise. Professor Dr. Jörg Schwenk holds the Chair for Network
and Data Security at the Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany. He (co-)authored about
150 papers on the book’s topics, including for conferences like ACM CCS, Usenix Security,
IEEE S&P, and NDSS.
