The Electronic Privacy Papers: Documents on the Battle for Privacy in the Age of Surveillance

1 review
David Banisar

John Wiley & Sons, 1997

Excellent books for the goal in mind
Probably the only book to date that is current (as current, of course, as it can be) with documents and notes letting the reader know where our goverments policies stand, and as such, letting the public know as well. There are no more assumptions to be made, the documents are laid out in the book for all to see and read. A nice change of pace from traditional analysis of algorithms, instead, the ...

Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C, Second Edition

Bruce Schneier

Wiley, 1996

Dated but indespensible
Sadly, this book is more than a few years old. That said, it is still the finest single volume introduction to data security in the modern age. For clarity of description, for illustration, and for its success at communicating essential concepts and ideas without resorting entirely to mathematics, it is without peer. Every so often I look on Amazon and hope that I'll find Schneier has penned ...

Best of the best from one of the best minds in security
There is a perception in both the private and government sector, that security, both physical and digital, is something you can buy. Witness the mammoth growth of airport security products following 9/11, and the sheer number of vendors at security conferences. With that, government officials and corporate executives often think you can simply buy products and magically get instant security by ...

Wiley, 2003

If you write software this book will help you understand cryptography
This book really does explain the practical side of cryptography and writing cryptographic software. The authors take the readers with them as they design a secure communication system using existing algorithms and standards. You look over the shoulders of two experts in the field as they make decisions (e.g. AES vs. Serpent vs. Twofish) and explain them (e.g. AES is the IBM of algorithms, ...

Reading it improves the reader security intelligence
The content of this book slightly overlap the content of the author previous book Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World but presents the material with a different angle. An angle with the perspective of a security expert that witness security measures taken by governments in reaction of the 9/11 terrorism attack and wants people to understand the absurdity of some of these ...

Theory of Security
I bought this title as a bundle with "Applied Cryptography" and "Practical Cryptography". I still need to read those 2 titles, but I have read "Secrets and Lies" (SL) cover to cover. My approach to reading this was that SL was that I would read the theory behind the security to start my studies on security, hacking, and cryptography. And this is just what this book is: an description of security. ...

The Twofish Encryption Algorithm: A 128-Bit Block Cipher

5 reviews
Bruce Schneier, John Kelsey, ...

Wiley, 1999

fascinating to a limited audience
Bruce Schneier is the Yoda of crpytography and information security, if you've heard him there's no need to ask anyone else. This book would probably only appeal to the genuinely avid crypto fan, its Greek to anyone else. It is a thorough exposition of the making of the Twofish cypher, the latest attempt to secure information as absolutely as possible. You must be well versed in cryptography ...
