This book provides you with advanced knowledge and skills to understand threats and attacks in the network, then apply different defense mechanisms to secure personal and organizational data and systems in a networked environment. The book covers advanced areas of network security and cryptography. It specifically covers network (and protocols) threats, attacks, defense mechanisms, and services. It will also cover details of symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, authentication protocols and key management. In order to understand application of cryptography, the book will apply the techniques used in real and non-real-time communication security.
