DES, the Data Encryption Standard, is the best known and most widely used civilian cryptosystem. It was developed by IBM and adopted as a US national standard in the mid 1970`s, and had resisted all attacks in the last 15 years. This book presents the first successful attack which can break the full 16 round DES faster than via exhaustive search. It describes in full detail, the novel technique of Differential Cryptanalysis, and demonstrates its applicability to a wide variety of cryptosystems and hash functions, including FEAL, Khafre, REDOC-II, LOKI, Lucifer, Snefru, N-Hash, and many modified versions of DES. The methodology used offers valuable insights to anyone interested in data security and cryptography, and points out the intricacies of developing, evaluating, testing, and implementing such schemes. This book was written by two of the field`s leading researchers, and describes state-of-the-art research in a clear and completely contained manner.

4.0 out of 5 stars
a difficult but complete intro to differential cryptanalysis,
By A Customer
This review is from: Differential Cryptanalysis of the Data Encryption Standard (Hardcover)
The main problem with this book is that it is by no means intended for people who are not already well versed in cryptography. It does include an excellent introduction to DES, but the discussion of differential cryptanalysis of DES is difficult to understand for the newbie. Those who are already well versed with cryptography will find this book an excellent resource, however people who are seeking to learn about cryptography would best use the book for their discussion of DES and overall summaries. Other sources to introduce differential cryptanalysis might be more understandable, but probably will end up just preparing you to delve into the real meat of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential for the modern cryptologist,
By A Customer
This review is from: Differential Cryptanalysis of the Data Encryption Standard (Hardcover)
The book introduces a cryptanalysis technique which is important for any modern cryptologist; differential cryptanalysis. Requires a *solid* foundation in cryptology and mathematics, not recommended for those with a casual interest in cryptology.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, but very advanced,
By A Customer
This review is from: Differential Cryptanalysis of the Data Encryption Standard (Hardcover)
This is not a book for the novice. If you already have a strong background of the DES and cryptanalysis, this book is invaluable.
