Cryptography in C and C++ mainly focuses on the practical aspects involved in implementing public key cryptography methods, such as the RSA algorithm that was recently released from patent protection It also gives both a technical overview andan implementation of the Rijndael algorithm that was selected as the Advanced Encryption Standard озлюг by the U S government Author Michael Welschenbach avoids complexities by explaining cryptography and its mathematical basis in terms a programmer can easily understand This book offers a comprehensive yet relentlessly practical overview of the fundamentals of modern cryptography It contains a wide-ranging library of code in C and C++, including the RSA algorithm, completed by an extensive Test Suite that proves that the code works correctly Readers will learn, step by step, how to implement a platform-independent library for the all-important multiprecision arithmetic used in modern cryptography This is followed by an implementation of the cryptographic algorithms themselves The CD-ROM includes all the programs presented in the book, x86 assembler programs for basic arithmetical operations, implementations of the new Rijndael Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm in both C and C++, and more.  LawrencISBN 189311595X.
