Opis

Addressing real-world implementation issues, this text emphasizes cryptographic algorithm and protocol implementation in hardware, software, and embedded systems. It focuses on cryptographic algorithms, such as symmetric- and public-key, before dealing with the construction of cryptographic protocols. The author examines tradeoffs between code size, hardware logic resource requirements, memory usage, speed, power consumption, and more. He includes many examples and problems to evaluate implementation results of several software and hardware languages. He also provides C and VHDL frameworks and testing environments on a CD-ROM.

Recenzje

This book is a good technical reference for someone who wishes to implement (or install) a security system based on existing techniques … a good complementary book for a technical course to students who already know about the theory of cryptography but need to learn the technical details in order to implement existing protocols in new hardware.
