Reviews for Encyclopedia of Cryptology

While there are many books aimed at certain aspects of this topic, none of them do as good a job of presenting a comprehensive yet accessible overview of secret-message writing throughout ancient and modern times. - School Library Journal Exceptional content, an extensive bibliography, and a comprehensive subject index make this volume an invaluable reference tool. Recommended for most academic and public libraries. - Library Journal The Encyclopedia of Cryptology describes every prominent code and cipher from Egyptian hieroglyphs to data encryption ... If you're not sure where to turn for information on the RSA algorithm, knapsack problems, or the Babington plot, this is the book for you. - C&RL News Exploding many of the myths that have developed around the Internet over the past few years, this chronology of its evolution is a fascinating journey that clearly indicates that the Internet can trace its ancestry back to the middle of the last century ... all-encompasing, conscise, comprehensive, multifaceted. - The Daily Telegraph
