Reviews
From the reviews: The layout and chapter exercises make the book suitable for use as a course textbook. ... The authors explain the complex workings of public-key cryptography and the infrastructure necessary to support it. The chapters are well illustrated with diagrams and figures. It is not necessary to understand how PKI works to securely use the Internet, but if you do want to understand the minutia of PKI then this book will help. (David B. Henderson, Computing Reviews, March, 2014)
