Knowledge of number theory and abstract algebra are pre-requisites for any engineer designing a secure internet-based system.However, most of the books currently available on the subject are aimed at practitioners who just want to know how the various tools available on the market work and what level of security they impart. These books traditionally deal with the science and mathematics only in so far as they are necessary to understand how the tools work.Internet Security differs by its assertion that cryptography is the single most important technology for securing the Internet. To quote one reviewer "if every one of your communication partners were using a secure system based on encryption, viruses, worms and hackers would have a very hard t...

The fundamentals and implementation of digital electronics are essential to understanding the design and working of consumer/industrial electronics, communications, embedded systems, computers, security and military equipment.Devices used in applications such as these are constantly decreasing in size and employing more complex technology. It is therefore essential for engineers and students to understand the fundamentals, implementation and application principles of digital electronics, devices and integrated circuits. This is so that they can use the most appropriate and effective technique to suit their technical need.This book provides practical and comprehensive coverage of digital electronics, bringing together information on fundamental theory...

This book tries to give students of computer science and professional programmers a general understanding of operating systems - the programs that enable people to share computers efficiently. To make the sharing of a computer tolerable, and operating system must enforce certain rules of behaviour on all its users. One would therefore expect the designers of operating systems to do their utmost to make them as simple, efficient, and realiable as as possible. A number of operating systems made in the early of 1960's had these characteristics; but in the late 1960's designers were often overambitious and built enormous systems with poor performance. I see no inherent reason why operating systems should not reach the quality of program costruction found...
