Calling upon accounts of political intrigue and tales of life and death, author Simon Singh tells history’s most fascinating story of deception and cunning: the science of cryptography–the encoding and decoding of private information. Based on The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography, this version has been abridged and slightly simplified for a younger audience. None of the appeal for curious problem-solving minds has been lost, though. From Julius Caesar to the 10th-century Arabs; from Mary Queen of Scots to “Alice and Bob”; from the Germans’ Enigma machine to the Navajo code talkers in World War II, Singh traces the use of code to protect–and betray–secrecy. Moving right into the present, he describes how the Information Age has provided a whole new set of challenges for cryptographers. How private are your e-mail communications? How secure is sending your credit card information over the Internet? And how much secrecy will the government tolerate? Complex but highly accessible, The Code Book will make readers see the past–and the future–in a whole new light. (Ages 14 and older). This e-book contains 273 pages.

Modern Cryptography: Theory and Practice

Appropriate for all graduate-level and advanced undergraduate courses in cryptography and related mathematical fields. Modern Cryptography is an indispensable resource for every advanced student of cryptography who intends to implement strong security in real-world applications. Leading HP security expert Wenbo Mao explains why conventional crypto schemes, protocols, and systems are profoundly vulnerable, introducing both fundamental theory and real-world attacks. Next, he shows how to implement crypto systems that are truly "fit for application," and formally demonstrate their fitness. He begins by reviewing the foundations of cryptography: probability, information theory, computational complexity, number theory, algebraic techniques, and more. He presents the "ideal" principles of authentication, comparing them with real-world implementation. Mao assesses the strength of IPSec, IKE, SSH, SSL, TLS, Kerberos, and other standards, and offers practical guidance on designing stronger crypto schemes and using formal methods to prove their security and efficiency.Finally, he presents an in-depth introduction to zero-knowledge protocols: their characteristics, development, arguments, and proofs. Mao relies on practical examples throughout, and provides all the mathematical background students will need. This e-book contains 755 pages.

How Computers Work: Processor and Main Memory Book

The book is as simple as possible and aimed at a non-technical audience with absolutely no knowledge of computers or electronics, but it is an electrical engineering text. A typical page consists of a circuit diagram (or program) and a paragraph or two of explanation. The book begins with a VERY simple circuit and continues to a very complex circuit (a computer) while explaining everything. Everything has been made as simple as possible while leaving nothing out. Eighty-four circuit diagrams and some timing diagrams and short programs make every point clear.
Computers are the most complex machines that have ever been created. This is the first book to make it possible for ordinary people to understand precisely how the processor, the main and most complex part of a computer, works. In fact, it completely explains the operation of a complete, though simple, computer.
Relays, which are explained, are used in the circuitry instead of transistors for simplicity, though transistors are mentioned.
Did you ever wonder what a bit, a latch, a word (of memory), a data bus, an address bus, a memory, a register, a processor, a timing diagram, a clock (of a processor), an instruction, or machine code is? Though most explanations of how computers work are a lot of analogies or require a background in electrical engineering, this book will tell you precisely what each of them is and how each of them works without requiring any previous knowledge of computers or electronics.

Whether you're completely new to web design, a seasoned pro looking for inspiration, or a developer wanting to improve your sites' aesthetics, there's something for everyone here.

However, great design is more than just aesthetics. Long before we open our graphics program of choice, we'll be conducting research, dealing with clients, responding to briefs, sketching out sitemaps, planning information architecture, moving from doodles to diagrams, exploring different ways of interactivity, and building upon design traditions.

But ultimately, you'll be finding out how to create web sites that look drop-dead gorgeous.

Java Internationalization (Java Series)

For any Java programmer or manager creating software for global markets, Java Internationalisation is an essential guide to the dos and don'ts of writing software that's usable all around the world. Besides a guide to internationalisation (and its flip side, localisation) generally, this book provides in-depth coverage of support for globalised software on the Java platform.
It makes sense that software should move easily between international markets in today's global economy. Java Internationalisation is first and foremost a guide to the issues surrounding writing software for different languages. The first sections examine a truly fascinating sample of the world's character sets and salient features for outputting characters in software.

Then there is a thorough description of techniques and issues surrounding the creation of software in different languages. Java's built-in support for locales (best described as geographical and language communities) comes later in the book. The authors show how to format text (and dates) for different markets using built-in Java APIs and features (like resource bundles). Short sections on internationalising Web sites powered by Java (whether with servlets or JSPs) offer some valuable insight. The book concludes with a roadmap for the future evolution of Java 3.0 internationalisation, plus a really handy listing of all Java APIs that have been designed with international support in mind.

In all, Java Internationalisation does justice to an intriguing area of Java development, one that is sure to be increasingly important as more and more software is extended to new global markets. Suitable for anyone who designs or manages Java software, this concise volume cuts straight to the chase and is a worthwhile and timely guide to how to get Java applications to new markets fast.

Algorithms and Data Structures

This book starts with a chapter on data structure for two reasons. First, one has an intuitive feeling that data precede algorithms: you must have some objects before you can perform operations on them. Second, and this is the more immediate reason, this book assumes that the reader is familiar with the basic notions of computer programming. Traditionally and sensibly, however, introductory programming courses concentrate on algorithms operating on relatively simple structures of data. Hence, an introductory chapter on data structures seems appropriate

Dreamweaver MX 2004 Bible

Packed with hands-on instruction and step by step tutorials, the Dreamweaver MX 2004 Bible is everything you need to harness the power of this amazing web development tool.

* Extending Dreamweaver with your own extensions
* And more.

Algorithmics: Theory and Practice

Our book is neither a programming manual nor an account of the proper use of data structures. Still less is it a "cookbook" containing a long catalogue of programs ready to be used directly on a machine to solve certain specific problems, but giving at best a vague idea of the principles involved in their design. On the contrary, the aim of our book is to give the reader some basic tools needed to develop his or her own algorithms, in whatever field of application they may be required.

Thus we concentrate on the techniques used to design and analyse efficient algorithms. Each technique is first presented in full generality. Thereafter it is illustrated by concrete examples of algorithms taken from such different applications as optimization, linear algebra, cryptography, operations research, symbolic computation, artificial intelligence, numerical analysis, computing in the humanities, and so on. Although our approach is rigorous and theoretical, we do not neglect the needs of practitioners: besides illustrating the design techniques employed, most of the algorithms presented also have real-life applications.

To profit fully from this book, you should have some previous programming experience. However, we use no particular programming language, nor are the examples for any particular machine. This and the general, fundamental treatment of the material ensure that the ideas presented here will not lose their relevance. On the other hand, you should not expect to be able to use the algorithms we give directly: you will always be obliged to make the necessary effort to transcribe them into some appropriate programming language. The use of Pascal or similarly structured language will help reduce this effort to the minimum necessary.

Some basic mathematical knowledge is required to understand this book. Generally speaking, an introductory undergraduate course in algebra and another in calculus should provide sufficient background. A certain mathematical maturity is more important still. We take it for granted that the reader is familiar with such notions as mathematical induction, set notation, and the concept of a graph. From time to time a passage requires more advanced mathematical knowledge, but such passages can be skipped on the first reading with no loss of continuity.

Combinatorial Algorithms: For Computers and Calculators

This book can be read at several levels. Those whose only need is to use one of the computer programs can turn immediately to those pages and satisfy their wants. Thus, on one level, this is a collection of subroutines, in FORTRAN, for the solution of combinatorial problems. At the other extreme, pure mathematicians with no need of computer programs will find much that is new and hopefully interesting in these pages.

Readers will want to follow the entire road from general mathematics to particular mathematics to informal algorithm to formal algorithm to computer program and back again, which occurs in virtually every chapter of the book.
Readers will view methods and programs as a beginning set of building blocks for their own kit of tools and will go on to add to these tools to meet their own needs, so that the contents of this book will be not a collection of pretty artifacts to be looked at but basic elements of the growing and working equipment of scientific investigation and learning.

Part of Packt's Cookbook series with lots of practical recipes for solving the most common theming problems

In Detail
The greatest strength of Drupal lies in its design which, when employed correctly, allows developers to literally handcraft every aspect of a site, so that it looks and performs exactly how they want it to. While it is reasonably straightforward to download a Drupal theme and install it, doing anything beyond that is not. Using custom themes requires familiarity and experience with Drupal's theming system, especially if you want to easily administer and maintain your themes.
Drupal 7 Theming Cookbook provides a plethora of recipes that enable Drupal template designers to make full use of its extensibility and style their site just the way they want it. It is a well-rounded guide which will allow users to take full advantage of Drupal's theming system.
This cookbook starts with recipes which address the basics of Drupal's theme system, including regions and blocks. It then moves on to advanced topics such as creating a custom theme and using it to modify the layout and style of content. With the introduction of the Field API and the growing importance of Views and Panels in Drupal 7, chapters have been dedicated to each feature. You will also learn many techniques for dealing with Drupal's templating system, which will allow you create themes which surpass even the existing Drupal and contributed modules.

What you will learn from this book
Improve your knowledge of the basics of Drupal theming such as installing and enabling a downloaded theme, changing the logo, and adding a slogan
Customize the look of your website by configuring and extending your existing themes with sub-themes
Create custom themes from scratch for websites that demand a fresh looks
Use the PHP Template theming engine to override module output and style it using a theme
Style and manipulate the content of your website by adding CSS and JavaScript files via themes and modules
Manipulate images on the fly using the Image API and the Image module
Jazz up the design of your site by incorporating JavaScript elements
Design complex site layouts rapidly with Panels
Approach
Part of Packt's Cookbook series, this book offers solutions to common theme design problems in the form of recipes. Each recipe contains step-by-step instructions and screenshots. The book is designed so that you can read it chapter by chapter, or you can refer to each recipe in no particular order.

Who this book is written for
This book is for Drupal developers and administrators who want to refresh the look and feel of their site. We assume that readers are familiar with basic PHP, CSS, and XHTML as well as the general use of Drupal.

Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in Java, 3rd Edition

Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in Java is an advanced algorithms book that fits between traditional CS2 and Algorithms Analysis courses.

Android Application Development

This book, read carefully, can enable any Java programmer to develop useful and robust applications for Android. It also takes you into the internals in some places, so you know how Android supports what you’re doing and so you can play around with its open source code if you like(ISBN-13: 9780596521479).

When Google announced the development of Android, the field of mobile platforms was already well established. Even in the narrower category of open source platforms, a number of viable alternatives were being pushed by proponents. Yet Android has stimulated not only widespread technical interest but rampant speculation about its potential to completely transform the world of the personal device. Instead of a convenient prop to support a set of familiar functions, such as phone calls, email, and restaurant lookups, the electronic device could become an open-ended window into the whole world could become, in short, anything that the user and the developer could think to make it.
