Review

"Coverage and clarity of material are excellent in this book [Stallings]. This is an appropriate level for first-year graduate students." - Shambhu Upadhyaya, University at Buffalo "Bill Stallings has long been known as someone who can explain complicated topics well. I've been reading his books since the mid-80's and they are always well done." - Mike Kain, Drexel University "The text [Stallings] compares well to other texts in both theory and application...Stallings' problems are the best that I've seen." - William Bard, University of Texas "This is one of the best textbooks [Stallings] designed for a combined introduction to cryptology and network security for computer scientists and engineers that I have seen. Mathematics coverage is adequate...virtually no mathematical background is expected." - David Arnold, Baylor University "The text [Stallings] does a very good job of giving a subject overview while including details of various algorithms." - Edward Allen, Wake Forest University
