Cryptography has proven to be one of the most contentious areas in
modern society. For some it protects the rights of individuals to
privacy and security, while for others it puts up barriers against
the protection of our society. This book aims to develop a deep
understanding of cryptography, and provide a way of understanding
how privacy, identity provision and integrity can be enhanced with
the usage of encryption. The book has many novel features
including: - full provision of Web-based material on almost every
topic covered - provision of additional on-line material, such as
videos, source code, and labs - coverage of emerging areas such as
Blockchain, Light-weight Cryptography and Zero-knowledge Proofs
(ZKPs) Key areas covered include: - Fundamentals of Encryption -
Public Key Encryption - Symmetric Key Encryption - Hashing Methods
- Key Exchange Methods - Digital Certificates and Authentication -
Tunneling - Crypto Cracking - Light-weight Cryptography -
Blockchain - Zero-knowledge Proofs This book provides extensive
support through the associated website of:

The object of this book is to cover most of the currently relevant
areas of data communications and networks. These include:
Communications protocols (especially TCP/IP) Networking (especially
in Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI and ATM) Networking operating
systems (especially in Windows NT, Novell NetWare and UNIX)
Communications programs (especially in serial communications,
parallel communications and TCP/IP) Computer hardware (especially
in PC hardware, serial communications and parallel communication)
The book thus splits into 15 different areas, these are: General
data compression (Chapters 2 and 3) Video, images and sound
(Chapters 4-11 ) Error coding and encryption (Chapters 12-17)
TCP/IP, WWW, Internets and Intranets (Chapters 18-20 and 23)
Electronic Mail (Chapter 21 ) HTML (Chapters 25 and 26) Java
(Chapters 27-29) Communication Programs (Chapters 20, 29 and 49)
Network Operating Systems (Chapters 31-34) LANs/WANs (Chapters 35,
38-46) Serial Communications (Chapters 47 and 48) Parallel
Communications (Chapters 50-52) Local Communications (Chapters
53-57) Routing and Protocols (Chapters 36 and 37) Cables and
connectors (Chapters 58--60) Many handbooks and reference guides on
the market contain endless tables and mathematics, or are dry to
read and contain very little insight in their subject area. I have
tried to make this book readable, but also contain key information
which can be used by professionals.
