Contemporary Cryptography

For quite a long time, computer security was a rather narrow field of study that was

populated mainly by theoretical computer scientists, electrical engineers, and applied

mathematicians. With the proliferation of open systems in general, and of the Internet

and the World Wide Web (WWW) in particular, this situation has changed fundamen-

tally. Today, computer and network practitioners are equally interested in computer

security, since they require technologies and solutions that can be used to secure applica-

tions related to electronic commerce. Against this background, the field of computer

security has become very broad and includes many topics of interest. The aim of this

series is to publish state-of-the-art, high standard technical books on topics related to

computer security. Further information about the series can be found on the WWW at

the following URL:

Also, if you’d like to contribute to the series by writing a book about a topic

related to computer security, feel free to contact either the Commissioning Editor or the

Series Editor at Artech House.
