Data Privacy and Security

From the reviews:

"If you are interested in crypto but lack the advanced math skills, this book will be very helpful. There are full discussions of the history of encryption going back to Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece through the early modern science period to modern days....It is one of the better presentations of cryptography because of the scholarship that went into producing it." --IEEE Cipher

"This integrated volume focuses on keeping data secure and private and covers classical cryptography, modern cryptography, and steganography. … there are numerous examples to reinforce the reader’s understanding and expertise with these techniques and methodologies. … an excellent 9-page Cryptography Timeline, 12-page Glossary, 12-page Bibliography and an Index. Salomon has written an excellent volume that can serve as a textbook or a worthwhile addition to your personal library." (Cryptologia, Vol. 28 (4), 2004)
