About this book

This book focuses on protocols and constructions that make good use of the building blocks for symmetric cryptography. The book brings under one roof, several esoteric strategies of utilizing symmetric cryptographic blocks. The specific topics addressed by the book include various key distribution strategies for unicast, broadcast and multicast security and strategies for constructing efficient digests of dynamic databases using binary hash trees.

Reviews

From the book reviews:

“Experienced security practitioners and cryptography researchers will benefit from reading this book. … the book provides a thorough analysis of key distribution and predistribution techniques, alongside pertinent applications. I would recommend this book as an advanced-level resource on symmetric cryptography and its application to diverse application scenarios.” (Zubair Baig, Computing Reviews, February, 2015)
