The book covers SSLv2, TLS 1.0, and TLS 1.2, including implementations of the relevant cryptographic protocols, secure hashing, certificate parsing, certificate generation, and more. 

• Shows network professionals how to implement SSL and TLS using cryptography and PKI
• Provides specific techniques and strategies, even if you have no prior knowledge of cryptography
• Covers HTTP, HTTPS, and HTTP proxy support (including how HTTP proxies interact with SSL); symmetric cryptography, including DES, 3DES, AES and RC4, along with CBC, OFB, COUNTER and AEAD
• Delves into public-key cryptography including RSA, Diffie-Hellman key exchange, and Elliptic-curve cryptography
• Takes you through digital signature algorithms including RSA, DSA, ECDSA, SHA-1, MD5, and HMAC
• Includes additional topics, such as X.509 certificates, ASN.1, and more

Set up and launch a working implementation of SSL with this practical guide.

Rc4 Stream Cipher and Its Variants (Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications)

This book is the first comprehensive volume on RC4, the most popular and widely deployed state-of-the-art software stream cipher algorithm. After the basic fundamentals of cryptography, the text provides substantial coverage of stream ciphers in general. Other topics covered include key scheduling, key recovery, WEP attacks, and keystream generation. The book also explores both LFSR and non-LFSR-based hardware stream ciphers as well as software stream ciphers. The techniques and analysis presented can be applied to many RC4-like stream ciphers that are based on arrays and modular addition. The authors provide end-of-chapter exercises along with a number of illustrative tables and figures.

An Excellent Companion to Bishops Book (2009-10-27)

While Matt Bishop's book (Computer Security, Art and Science) is considered the standard by many professors, I think students will find that Mark Stamp's book provides much more practical utility. Here's what Stamp has that Bishop doesn't:

1.) More readable writing style.

2.) Non-essential theory and rigor removed.

3.) Some less traditional but interesting topics (ex: CAPTCHAs, DRM).

A few things that Bishop has that Stamp doesn't:

1.) Broader range of topics covered.

2.) Classic proofs and theory that Stamp omits for succinctness.

Let's be clear though. One text is not better than the other-- the authors simply have different aims. I suggest that a student use Stamp's book to ease into Information Security, and then to go Bishop when more information is required. For example, in my introductory course to Information Assurance, I used Stamp's book to answer 90% of all questions quickly and completely and Bishop's book to tackle the remaining 10%. If I ever get into the theory side of IA, I'll probably have to use Bishop more, but Stamp works great in most situations.

Cryptography (2008-04-28)

Great buy.

But i must warn you, its very advanced!

I used this as my text, in a graduate class, It was very helpful because my professor was able to explain the "hard stuff" to me.

But its good, it sets the 'motion' for research on topics discussed in the book.

Good, Readable Primer on Information Security (2007-08-22)

This is a very readable primer on information security that address a number of topics including symmetric key crypto, public key crypto, hash functions, cryptanalysis, authentication, authorization, software anomalies, software insecurity, malware, and operating systems. I recommend this book.

A very well written book! (2006-01-27)

If I had to have only one book on information security, this would be the book!

Without trying to be encyclopedic, Professor Stamp gives a panoramic view of four key areas in information security: cryptography, access control, protocols, and software. Within each of these four parts, relevant and diverse topics are discussed and studied. The breadth and depth of coverage is appropriate for both the general reader as well as for the expert.

Topics in the book include: symmetric key crypto, public key crypto, hash functions, cryptanalysis, authentication, authorization, authentication protocols, real-world security protocols, software flaws and malware, insecurity in software, operating systems and security.

The book reads well and does not have the "dry flavor", so often found in other books of this type. I recommend this book, without reservation!

Excellent security text (2006-01-02)

Dr. Stamp touches many of the widely used and implemented security algorithms and techniques in today's industry. His clear and concise diagrams, examples, and thought provoking questions allow the reader to get a clear overview of the workings (positive and negative) of security technology. Mark Stamp has gathered all relevant information from a wide range of sources to produce an essential guide for information security. totally sweet

Introduction to Biometrics

Biometrics is the science of establishing human identity based on the physical or behavioral attributes of an individual. It is a rapidly evolving field with applications ranging from securely accessing one’s computer to gaining entry into a country. While the deployment of large-scale biometric systems in both commercial and government applications has increased the public’s awareness of this technology, "Introduction to Biometrics" is the first textbook to introduce the fundamentals of Biometrics to undergraduate/graduate students. It covers commonly used modalities in the biometrics field including fingerprint, face, iris, hand geometry, signature and voice. Exercises at the end of each chapter will help students gain practical experience in designing computer programs for biometric applications.

Designed for advanced-level students in computer science, "Introduction to Biometrics" is also suitable for researchers and biometric and computer security professionals.
