Information Security Intelligence: Cryptographic Principles & Applications

This text is divided into three sections. Each section represents a significant area of learning for the student. In Section I the student is presented the fundamentals of information security. Section II covers essential cryptography (symmetrical and asymmetrical). Section III applies the cryptographic principles presented in Section II to real world applications.
