Handbook of Information and Communication Security

The Handbook of Information and Communication Security provides I&C professionals, researchers as well as students with quickly retrievable information on relevant security topics. Its main parts are written from a general technological perspective and are applicable to most computer network and telecommunication systems. This presentation is complemented by an extensive description of applications in real implementations as well as legal and political aspects. The combination of the two editors ensures a well-balanced mix of American and European, electrical engineering and computer science views.
