Bøger af Michael Welschenbach

This book covers everything you need to know to write professional-level cryptographic code. This expanded, improved second edition includes about 100 pages of additional material as well as numerous improvements to the original text. Furthermore, this book covers the recent improvements in primality testing.

This book offers a comprehensive, yet relentlessly practical overview of the fundamentals of modern cryptography. Welschenbach avoids complexities by explaining cryptography and its mathematical basis in terms a programmer can easily understand. Coverage mainly focuses on the practical aspects involved in implementing public key cryptography methods, such as the RSA algorithm. It also gives both a technical overview and an implementation of the Rijndael Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm.The book includes a wide-ranging library of code in C and C++, including the RSA algorithm, completed by an extensive Test Suite that proves that the code works correctly. Readers will learn, step by step, how to implement a platform independent library for the all-important multi-precision arithmetic used in modern cryptography. This is followed by an implementation of the cryptographic algorithms themselves. The CD-ROM includes all the programs presented in the book, x86 assembler programs for basic arithmetical operations, implementations of Rijndael in both C and C++ and more.
