Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C, Second Edition
by Bruce Schneier

All around us, sensitive and valuable data is stored and transmitted digitally. Computer messages speed through global networks. Corporate plans are stored on desktop hard disks. Sums of money are transferred electronically. How can this information be kept out of the hands of unauthorized users? Applied Cryptography details how you can use C and C++ and cryptography — the technique of enciphering and deciphering messages — to maintain the privacy of computer data. Covering the latest developments in cryptographic techniques, Schneier shows you how to build security into the computer software and systems you use every day. This updated version covers:

New information on the Clipper Chip

New encryption algorithms from the former Soviet Union, including "GOST"

More detailed information on incorporating algorithms and programming fragments into working software

New information on the latest developments in message authentication (digital signatures) and digital cash
