The Twofish Encryption Algorithm: A 128-Bit Block Cipher
Computers & Internet, Mathematics, Professional & Technical, Science of knowledge books | manual books | how to books
This book is not a how-to-do thing. You will learn why this cypher was created, how it was created it all the details. Not an introductory book. But very worth to who ever want to enter modern applied cryptographic field. Bruce Schneier is the Yoda of crpytography and information security, if you’ve heard him there’s no need to ask anyone else. This book would probably only appeal to the genuinely avid crypto fan, its Greek to anyone else. It is a thorough exposition of the making of the Twofish cypher, the latest attempt to secure information as absolutely as possible. You must be well versed in cryptography to get anything out of the work. (Customer Review).
Product Description:
The first and only guide to one of today's most important new cryptography algorithms The Twofish Encryption Algorithm A symmetric block cipher that accepts keys of any length, up to 256 bits, Twofish is among the new encryption algorithms being considered by the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) as a replacement for the DES algorithm. Highly secure and flexible, Twofish works extremely well with large microprocessors, 8-bit smart card microprocessors, and dedicated hardware. Now from the team who developed Twofish, this book provides you with your first detailed look at:
* All aspects of Twofish's design and anatomy
* Twofish performance and testing results
* Step-by-step instructions on how to use it in your systems
* Complete source code, in C, for implementing Twofish
On the companion Web site you'll find:
* A direct link to Counterpane Systems for updates on Twofish
* A link to the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) for ongoing information about the competing technologies being considered for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for the next millennium
