Review:
Suitable for the IP manager or developer seeking to improve Web privacy and security, Developing Trust: Online Privacy and Security provides an intriguing, though at times somewhat theoretical, guide to the issues surrounding privacy today.Interestingly, this book straddles an expert-eye, theoretical overview of what privacy is and a more practical view of how it is often undermined on the Internet today. Early sections cover basic terms and concepts of privacy at a fairly high level. Mixing in sometimes erudite commentary (and an occasional rant), the author's expert-level view does a good job of explaining what privacy is and the larger principles used to protect it. From anonymity to "verinymity" (where sites know who you are), Curtin ma... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
In this book Dan Brown writes about cryptography and privacy, and the role of the NSA. It starts by letting the reader feel for the NSA and their work to protect the US, but in the long run the good-guy / bad-guy roles are reversed as (another) attempt is made by the NSA to influence cryptography, only to be thwarted in the attempt. This book interests me as both privacy and cryptography are subjects that interest me. I read it in a new edition that came out after the popularity of the Da Vinci Code but the book is clearly written earlier. Before 11 september 2001. Before the euro. The author tries to sound informed about the developments in cryptography for the common user but sometimes misses the boat completely. Besides technicalit... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
Disappearing Cryptography, by Peter Wayner, asks what happens after you use encryption to encode your data. After all, encryption doesn't protect you from a jammed transmission, a diverted e-mail message, or an erased file. The gobbledygook that is encrypted data often attracts attention. But there are ways to hide data so that no one knows it's there. Wayner carefully walks the reader through the fundamentals of encryption, error correction, secret sharing, compression, and grammar. Each technique builds on the next until you are able to pull off some impressive tricks using these technologies. You can secret your journals in a picture of your dog or encode your financials as a baseball announcer's monologue. Each chapter begins with a cl... Rest of this review on the detail page
