Security is the number one concern for businesses worldwide. The
gold standard for attaining security is cryptography because it
provides the most reliable tools for storing or transmitting
digital information. Written by Niels Ferguson, lead cryptographer
for Counterpane, Bruce Schneier's security company, and Bruce
Schneier himself, this is the much anticipated follow-up book to
Schneier's seminal encyclopedic reference, Applied Cryptography,
Second Edition (0-471-11709-9), which has sold more than 150,000
copies.
