Encryption: High-impact Strategies - What You Need to Know : Definitions, Adoptions, Impact, Benefits, Maturity, Vendors

Encryption is used to protect data in transit, for example data being transferred via networks (e.g. the Internet, e-commerce), mobile telephones, wireless microphones, wireless intercom systems, Bluetooth devices and bank automatic teller machines. Encrypting data in transit also helps to secure it as it is often difficult to physically secure all access to networks. Encryption, by itself, can protect the confidentiality of messages, but other techniques are still needed to protect the integrity and authenticity of a message; for example, verification of a message authentication code (MAC) or a digital signature. Standards and cryptographic software and hardware to perform encryption are widely available, but successfully using encryption to ensure security may be a challenging problem This book is your ultimate resource for Encryption. Here you will find the most up-to-date information, analysis, background and everything you need to know.
