3 out of 5 stars It's definitely a CompSci textbook.......2007-04-03

The variability in textbook reviews are interesting. I would consider this text "math heavy" whereas other reviewers believe you'll need another serious text on the matter to round out your collection.

I bought this to learn the high level details/processes behind encryption and cryptography but after flipping through the detailed treatment of each, the book got really short, really fast. If you're looking for "Hey here's DES in a nutshell" then this book isn't for you. It is in the sense that the three paragraphs preceding the several-page detailed discussion of the DES algorithm are for you, but the rest isn't.

5 out of 5 stars A one-step guide.......2006-03-01

I was able to use this book as an introduction, and more than an introduction, on the world of cryptography. I started reading it with no knowledge on cryptographic algorithms, ad I learned the principles behind cryptographic algorithms and how they are linked with pratical implementation on security products.

The area of network security is less developed than the cryptography area, but still valuable.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Primer for this Subject Area.......2006-01-13

I adored this book! It's one of my favourite texts of all time. I used it for a computer security subject and it's a great primer. It covers a middle ground in computer encryption and network security that serves wonderfully as a primer for the novice and a reference for the experienced.

The contents are roughly evenly split between detailed descriptions of currently used encyrption protocols, and descriptions of network security protocols. For a complete reference library on this field, you would also need a book on network communications protocols, a mathematics-heavy text on the design of encryption algorithms and a programming-heavy text on encryption algorithm implementation.

But if you have prior knowledge of network comms, aren't ineterested in encryption design or maths, and can do the coding yourself, then this book has all you need to understand practical encryption and security currently used in industry and to implement the protocols yourself.

Stallings has a great writing style and explains concepts in clear and interesting English. You can't go wrong with this book. As a primer for the primer, I'd recommend The Code Book by Simon Singh (very readable) or any of Stallings' other books specifically dealing with data comms.

5 out of 5 stars Smooth and Quick Transaction .......2005-10-22

Completely satisfied with delivery of book. It came on the date that the seller promised.

I would do business again the future.

Cryptography and Network Security: Principles and Practice by Stallings is a very good book on crypto.

It is not as detailed as Schneier's Applied Cryptography, but is still a great book.
