Review:
While most books on privacy and security issues in cyberspace simply give accounts of debates on the issues, The Electronic Privacy Papers documents the war--practically salvo by salvo. Authors Schneier and Banisar present the actual government and industry documents, which cover both legal and technical matters. The information includes research reports on the value of wiretaps, influential speeches and articles, and actual legislation that has gone before Congress. Many of the government documents, although legally available to the public through the Freedom of Information Act, were improperly kept secret until several lawsuits eventually forced their release. These "hidden" papers exhibit the FBI's push for government access to... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
A clash-of-cultures collection of 33 essays--scholarly treatments by learned professors and online screeds and manifestos by psuedonymous hackers--dealing with the knotty questions of cyberspace: privacy, property rights hacking and cracking, encryption, censorship, and self and community. A great book for courses on the Internet, or for the more thoughtful and philosophically inclined Net traveler.

Review:
Steganography can be used for sending encrypted messages, but the primary emphasis in this volume is in the use of techniques for detecting forgery, theft of intellectual property, and modification of a digital object. Digital watermarking is probably best known to the general public from the transparent logos used on cable channels to try and prevent, or at least identify, illegally taped copies of programs. Chapter one gives us a definition of steganography and digital watermarking, some history, and some editorial on the counterintuitive links between the technical partnership of encryption and digital signatures. Part one outlines secret writing and steganography, the latter being the art of hiding a message in plain sight. Chapter... Rest of this review on the detail page
