Cryptography and Security, Vol. 1 FROM THE PUBLISHER
Introduces recent results of Japanese research and development in post-DES (Data Encryption Standard) cryptography. topics covered include fundamental techniques in cryptography, practical results on the development of common-key cryptosystems, identify-based key distribution systems, authentication systems, key management, and the development of cryptographic instruments (such as encryption equipment devices [services] for voice communication). Provides a survey of Japanese advances in security techniques for concealing communications and file data, detecting illegal data modification, and data verification.

Surveys recent Japanese advances in security techniques for concealing communications and file data, detecting illegal data modification, and data verification. Among the topics are fundamental techniques in cryptography; practical results on the development of common-key cryptosystems; probabilistic encryption; and IC cards and encryption devices (services) for voice communication. The new technologies are called AD (After DES [Data Encryption Standard]). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
