1.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst..., July 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Learn Encryption Techniques with BASIC and C++ (Paperback)

If you would like to see really poor programming style buy this book. Information about the encryption techniques could have been summarized in one chapter. Not worth a penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dechiffrable, January 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Learn Encryption Techniques with BASIC and C++ (Paperback)

On finit par dechiffrer tous les codes, suffit-il a profiter de l'argent, des messages plus longs, et du temps. Mais le travail peut couter cher and fatiguant a ceux qui interceptent. On n'a qu'a lire le livre LEARN ENCRYPTION TECHNIQUES WITH BASIC AND C++. Et puis que l'on se serve des caracteres, des mots et des phrases - secrets, mis au hasard, cles - qui s'y trouvent. Mais gare a ceux qui interceptent et a ceux qui les engagent. Car les deux sont des lecteurs, eux aussi!

5.0 out of 5 stars Breakable, April 24, 2001

This review is from: Learn Encryption Techniques with BASIC and C++ (Paperback)

Enough money and time applied to a long enough message will break almost any enciphering job. If you LEARN ENCRYPTION TECHNIQUES WITH BASIC AND C++ keywords, phrases or pseudorandomly sequenced characters, you should see a longer work week for interceptors. Author Gilbert Held's book locks arms with William R Cheswick's FIREWALLS AND INTERNET SECURITY, Marcus Goncalves' FIREWALLS: A COMPLETE GUIDE, Scott Oaks' JAVA SECURITY, Kaustubh Phaltankar's PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR IMPLEMENTING SECURE INTRANETS AND EXTRANETS, and Bruce Schneier's E-MAIL SECURITY.
