protocols and code breaking to provide the fundamentals of data
security. This new book introduces cryptography in a unique and

analysis (classic and modern algorithms), cryptographic protocols,
digital standards and much more. This innovative book will reveal some
of the dangers of code breaking, and highlights ways to master
code-breaking and attack algorithms. Topics range from the simplest
enciphering methods to precise investigations of modern algorithms.
Everything you need to understand the delicate balance between complex
and actual information, with a peppering of anecdotes along the way.

- The difference between good and bad algorithms
- Whether or not secret services can read all messages
- The real-world affect cryptography had on World War II
- The unspoken security risks behind digital mobile standards GSM and
UMTS
