Features: In today's information age, information security is no longer a topic solely of concern to classified units; it has entered the public eye and become a focal point of attention. We are pleased to recommend the Chinese translation of "Principles and Applications of Information Security" (3rd Edition) to our readers. The book is a bestseller in the USA and widely used as a textbook in universities and colleges across the country. It has also been enthusiastically endorsed by renowned American information security expert Professor Willis H. Ware (RAND Corporation). The content of the book is highly innovative and rich, presented in a step-by-step manner with detailed and practical case studies. It offers both depth and breadth, allowing readers to freely select topics of interest. It is particularly worth mentioning that over half of the book is dedicated to studying code, as a significant amount of danger is caused, more or less, by computer-executed program code. The only prerequisite for reading this book is a basic understanding of programming and computer systems. It is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in information security or computer science, as well as researchers and professionals in related fields. This book is a classic in the field of information security, with fresh and rich content. It systematically describes various aspects of computational security, covering concepts and terminology; cryptography and the use of encryption techniques; programs or software; operating systems; database and network security; security management and implementation; legal, ethical, and privacy issues in information security, and finally, an in-depth study of encryption algorithms. It can serve as both a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in information security or computer science, and as a reference for researchers and professionals in related fields.
