Learn Encryption Techniques with Basic and C++

Encryption is the process of coding software so that the message is not easily discernible. Learn Encryption Techniques with Visual Basic 98 provides readers with a step-by-step examination of the development of encryption techniques from the Caesar Cipher through modern-day public and private key encryption methods. Numerous encryption techniques are first explained in detail, followed by the development of program modules in Visual Basic 98 that illustrate how the data is coded. Through the use of Visual Basic 98, the program modules are then used to develop Windows-based programs that illustrate encryption and decryption of data. Thus, this book provides experienced programmers and developers with detailed, practical, hands-on information and coding examples that illustrate how messages, files and notes can be programmed with different levels of security. Learn Encryption Techniques is targeted for a wide audience of readers, ranging from programmers and analysts to network managers and system administrators at an intermediate to advanced level. Due to its comprehensive coverage of encryption concepts as well as its hands-on guide to the development of coding modules, the title is ideally suitable as both a tutorial and programming guide to an increasingly important topic among programmers.

Computer security is one of the most important topics of concern among programmers and developers. Learning effective encryption techniques is critical. By explaining key communications security concepts while providing readers with in-depth coverage of the development, operation, and utilization of a variety of encryption methods, Learn Encryption Techniques is suitable for programmers new to the field of security as well as more experienced developers. The coverage of the program modules as well as the inclusion of a CD containing the program listings facilitates the programmer's ability to develop customized routines.
