Basic Methods of Cryptography J.C.A. van der Lubbe 2011 / 260 p. / Ebook / ISBN 978-90-6562-240-2 / Euro 22,50 This text covers the fundamentals of cryptography, which is concerned with methods of security in the storage and transportation of information. Computers are now found in every layer of society, and information is being communicated and processed automatically on a large scale. Examples include medical and financial files, automatic banking, video-phones, pay-tv, facsimiles, tele-shopping and global computer networks. In all these cases there is a growing need for the protection of information to safeguard economic interests, to prevent fraud and to ensure privacy. In this book, the fundamentals of secure storage and transportation of information are described. Among other things, attention is given to symmetric (DES) and asymmetric (RSA) cryptographic algorithms, which are suitable for data security, to methods for authentication, data integrity and digital signatures, key management and to network aspects. The book will be of value to advanced students and researchers involved in data protection and information processing, including electrical engineers, mathematicians, business managers, system designers, application programmers, information analysts and security officers.

Information Theory J.C.A. van der Lubbe 9065620826 1997-2011 / 360 pp. / Ebook / ISBN 978-90-6562-278-5 / Euro 21.50 ISBN 9040712557 On all levels of society systems have been introduced that deal with the transmission, storage and processing of information. We live in what is usually called the information society. Information hasb ecome a key word in our society. It is not surprising therefore that from all sorts of quarters interest has been shown in what information really is and consequently in acquiring a better knowledge as to how information can be dealt with as efficiently as possible. Information theory is characterized by a quantitative approach to the notion of information. By means of the introduction of measuresfor information answers will be sought to such questions as: How to transmit and store information as compactly as possible? What is the maximum quantity of information that can be transmitted through a channel? How can security best be arranged? Etcetera. Crucial questions that enable us to enhance the performance and to grasp the limits of our information systems. Contents This textbook has the purpose of introducing a number of basic notions of information theory and clarifying them by showing their significance in present applications. Matters that will be described are, among others: Shannon's information measure, discrete and continuous information sources and information channels with or without memory, source and channel decoding, rate distortion theory, error-correcting codes and the information theoretical approach tocryptology. Special attention has been paid to multiterminal or -network information theory; an area with still lots of unansweredquestions, but which is of great significance because most of our information is transmitted by networks. All chapters are concluded with questions and worked solutions.That makes the book suitable for self study.	PDF-files: prelims chapter 1 Discrete information
