Description
Security is the number one concern for business worldwide, but, amazingly, there is no practical implementation literature available about cryptography. Written by a former cryptographic engineering consultant and bestselling author, this is an ideal guide for an engineer or systems engineer or technology professional who want to learn how to actually incorporate cryptography into a product. This book bridges the gap between textbook cryptography and cryptography in the real world and will appeal to a broad range of IT professionals.
