Neuware -Cryptography has crept into everything, from Web browsers and e-mail programs to cell phones, bank cards, and cars. Shortly, we will see many new exciting applications for cryptography such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for anti-counterfeiting. As a consequence of the pervasiveness of crypto algorithms, an increasing number of people must understand how they work and how they can be applied in practice. This book addresses this issue by providing a comprehensive introduction to modern applied cryptography that is equally suited for students and practitioners in industry. Much of the focus is on practical relevance by introducing most crypto algorithms that are used in modern real-world applications. In addition to crypto algorithms, attention is also given to important cryptographic protocols, modes of operation, security services, and key establishment techniques. Timely topics include lightweight ciphers, which are optimized for constrained applications. In today¿s fast-paced world, security and convenience are paramount. Biometrics, the science of identifying individuals based on their unique physical or behavioral traits, offers a solution that is both secure and convenient. From fingerprint scanners on smartphones to facial recognition software at airports, biometrics is rapidly becoming an integral part of our daily lives. But what exactly is biometrics, and how does it work This book delves into the fascinating world of biometrics, exploring its history, applications, and the latest technological advancements. Yoüll discover how biometrics can be used to verify identity, control access, and even detect fraud. Whether yoüre a security professional, a technology enthusiast, or simply curious about the future of personal identification, this book is for you.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 204 pp. Englisch.
