Preface
The primary goal of this book is to present the basic concepts in computer and network security. The starting point for the book was the lecture notes that were used for teaching the undergraduate course on computer security at the University of Wollongong (Australia). Later more topics were added to the book. These topics were mainly taught to postgraduate students as an advanced cryptography course. Some chapters, especially those towards the end of the book, were included to help students in their seminar presentations. The book was recently used as the textbook for a new course, Cryptography and Information Security, offered for third-year students in the Computing Department at Macquarie University (Australia). The book contains 18 chapters. It starts with an introductory chapter (Chap. 1) that gives a brief summary of the history of cryptography. As the book is meant to be self-contained, the necessary background knowledge is given in the theory chapter (Ch
