Computer Security and Industrial Cryptography: State of the Art and Evolution. ESAT Course, Leuven, Belgium, May 21-23, 1991 (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 741)

This volume is based on a course held several times, and again in 1993, at the ESAT Laboratorium of the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. These courses are intended for both researchers in computer security and cryptography and for practitioners in industry and government. The contributors of the 1991 course were invited to submit revised and updated versions of their papers for inclusion in a book. This volume is the final result; it is well- balanced between basic theory and real life applications, between mathematical background and juridical aspects, and between technical developments and standardization issues. Some of the topics are public key cryptography, hash functions, secure protocols, digital signatures, security architectures, network security, and data encryption standards (DES). Trends in the fight against computer-related delinquency....Pages 1-19 Technical approaches to Thwart computer fraud....Pages 20-30 Public key cryptography....Pages 31-49 Better login protocols for computer networks....Pages 50-70 Secret-key exchange with authentication....Pages 71-86 Information authentication: Hash functions and digital signatures....Pages 87-131 Key management....Pages 132-147 Evaluation criteria for it security....Pages 149-161 Standardization of cryptographic techniques....Pages 162-173 Numbers can be a better form of cash than paper....Pages 174-178 ISO-OSI security architecture....Pages 179-192 Security aspects of mobile communications....Pages 193-210 (Local area) network security....Pages 211-226 Cryptography within phase I of the EEC-RACE programme....Pages 227-234 EDI security....Pages 235-243 AXYTRANS: physical funds transport and DES....Pages 244-256 Unix security & Kerberos....Pages 257-274
