Description
Cryptology is the practice of hiding digital information by means of various obfuscatory and steganographic techniques. The application
of said techniques facilitates message confidentiality and sender/receiver identity authentication, and helps to ensure the integrity
and security of computer passwords, ATM card information, digital signatures, DVD and HDDVD content, and electronic commerce. Cryptography
is also central to digital rights management (DRM), a group of techniques for technologically controlling the use of copyrighted material
that is being widely implemented and deployed at the behest of corporations that own and create revenue from the hundreds of thousands
of mini-transactions that take place daily on programs like iTunes.
This new edition of our best-selling book on cryptography and information
hiding delineates a number of different methods to hide information in all types of digital media files. These methods include encryption,
compression, data embedding and watermarking, data mimicry, and scrambling. During the last 5 years, the continued advancement and exponential
increase of computer processing power have enhanced the efficacy and scope of electronic espionage and content appropriation. Therefore,
this edition has amended and expanded outdated sections in accordance with new dangers, and includes 5 completely new chapters that introduce
newer more sophisticated and refined cryptographic algorithms and techniques (such as fingerprinting, synchronization, and quantization)
capable of withstanding the evolved forms of attack.
Each chapter is divided into sections, first providing an introduction and high-level
summary for those who wish to understand the concepts without wading through technical explanations, and then presenting concrete examples
and greater detail for those who want to write their own programs. This combination of practicality and theory allows programmers and
system designers to not only implement tried and true encryption procedures, but also consider probable future developments in their
designs, thus fulfilling the need for preemptive caution that is becoming ever more explicit as the transference of digital media escalates.
Audience
Cryptographers, digital rights managers, programmers, network security managers, information security professionals working in government
agencies and industry, and general producers of electronic content.
