A Great Text on Encryption
For beginners and advanced tinkerers alike, this book is very readable for a technical manual. This is one of the best available on this subject, particularly being comprehensive and dealing with email.

The author is a crypto and computer security consultant.

Includes detailed information on:

PGP and PEM encryption programs,
DES and IDEA encryption algorithms,
The RSA and DSA public-key algorithms,
Key management (critical in security), and
Patent and export issues -- who "owns" the programs


Rating: 4 out of 5
