Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"A compact and intelligible guide to both the technical and the political issues." Laurence A. Marschall The Sciences "A superb and timely introduction to a subject of enormous importance for scholars and citizens alike." A. P. Simonds Choice "A well-researched and fascinating study." Lawrence Rothstein Law and Politics Review "A wise, meticulously researched guide..." London Review of Books "An incredibly comprehensive insight into the world of encryption and wiretaps, its political machinations, legal aspects, technologies, vulnerabilities, costs, limitations, and near-ubiquity." G. Ernest Govea Security Management "Diffie and Landau deserve a large audience. Their lucid exposition adds valuable context to debates that for too long have been abstract." Aziz Huq The American Prospect "Should be required reading for any computing student at any level."
