<p>From the reviews:</p><p>“This book provides several cryptographic mechanisms for protecting digital content. … With the necessary prerequisites, even readers with no prior knowledge of cryptography can gain a basic understanding of this field. … each chapter ends with a detailed bibliographic note, which is useful for further study. The book is based in part on Pehlivanoglu’s doctoral thesis, which implies that it will provide a state-of-the-art overview of encryption for digital content. … Overall, I recommend this survey of digital content encryption for cryptographers and professional engineers.” (Zheng Gong, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2011)</p>
