文档介绍：Contemporary Cryptography
For quite a long time, computer security was a rather narrow field of study that was
populated mainly by puter scientists, electrical engineers, and applied
mathematicians. With the proliferation of open systems in general, and of the
and the World Wide Web (WWW) in particular, this situation has changed fundamen-
tally. Today, computer work practitioners are equally interested puter
security, since they require technologies and solutions that can be used to secure applica-
tions related to merce. Against this background, the field puter
security has e very broad and includes many topics of interest. The aim of this
series is to publish state-of-the-art, high standard technical books on topics related to
computer security. Further information about the series can be found on the WWW at

Also, if you’d like to contribute to the series by writing a book about a topic
related puter security, feel free to contact either missioning Editor or the
