DESCRIPTION:
How to Incorporate Encryption into your Programs Cryptography is still a delicate issue with a lot of people. There are those, especially in certain law enforcement agencies, who believe that access to stong encryption should not be allowed in the hands of the general public. Indeed, there are export regulations that define encryption technology as munitions. ==At the other end of the scale, there is the simple fact that without secure data transmission, web based electronic commerce would simply be impossible.This book is on the use of standard Java encryption libraries. This book is written for people who are Java developers and are trying to make use of cryptography in their .

Great book by an expert on the subject Benjamin Golding By anyone's measure, cryptography is a dry and dusty subject but Hook has made it a pleasure to read this book both by trying to keep the tone light and having such a deep and thorough understanding of the topic that the discussion is effortless. While he moves through the subject matter briskly, his mastery of the area means that it's elegantly structured and easy to follow.All the Wrox books seem to follow a pretty rigid format and I felt sometimes that had the author been given a little more flexibility there, it could have flowed more easily. That said, the consistent organisation of the book makes it easier to use as a refere
Beginning Cryptography with JavaWhile cryptography can still be a controversial topic in the programming community, Java has weathered that storm and provides a rich set of APIs that allow you, the developer, to effectively include cryptography in applications-if you know how.This book teaches you how. Knowledge of the Java language is necessary, but you need not be familiar with any of the APIs discussed.Wrox Beginning guides are crafted to make learning programming languages and technologies easier than you think, providing a structured, tutorial format that will guide you through all the techniques involved.. Chapters one through five cover the architecture of the JCE and JCA, symmetric and asymmetric key encryption in Java, message authentication codes, and how to create Java implementations with the API provided by the Bouncy Castle ASN.1 packages, all with plenty of examples. Building on that foundation, the second half of the book takes you into higher-level topics, enabling you to create and implement secure Java applic
David can be reached at dgh@bund. David Hook has been writing software in a variety of domains and languages for the last 20 years. He lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his most patient wife Janine and a cat named Hamlet, who really seems to think he’s a little cryptographer in a fur coat. He currently works as a freelance consultant, mainly in Java, doing the odd bit of lecturing and writ
