A complete treatment of securing and transporting information over a secure network

Although information security and communication network security are extremely hot topics, few books combine both areas in a substantive manner. Security of Information and Communication Networks fills the important need for a complete conceptual treatment of both securing information and transporting it over a secure network.

Written in simple language and with minimal mathematics, it thoroughly describes:

• Mathematical foundations
• Ciphers and algorithms
• Cryptographic key distribution systems
• Chaotic cryptographic systems
• Communication security layers classifications
• Network security
• Quantum networks and quantum key distribution
• Next-generation optical network security
• Biometrics and communication networks

Complemented with figures and graphs to illustrate mathematical and network security concepts, this is a practical reference book for students, professionals, researchers, practitioners, and others in business and government who need to gain a conceptual, rather than a technical, understanding of this important topic. It also serves as a valuable supplemental text for courses in cryptography, information security, communications security, and networking security.
