"Applied Cryptography and Network Security" ed. by Jaydip Sen

The purpose of this book is to present some of the critical security challenges in today’s communication networks and computing and to provide insights to possible mechanisms to defend against attacks. With this objective, the book provides a collection of research work in the field of cryptography and network security by some experts in these areas.

The book contains 16 chapters which are divided into three parts.
The chapters in Part 1 of the book largely deal with security and privacy issues in computing and communication networks.
The Part 2 includes chapters which are related to the field of quantum cryptography.
The chapters dealing with the evolutionary concepts of cryptography and their applications like chaos-based cryptography and DNA cryptography are included in the Part 3 of the book.
