Review of "Data Privacy and Security by David Salomon"; Spring-Verlag, 2003, $51.48, Hardcover.

Abstract

The field of cryptology and data security hardly needs any introduction; numerous popular accounts of the subject have appeared over the years, and it is already a core topic in undergraduate computer science. The very term "cryptology" is testimony to the long history of the field; the term is derived from the words κσνπτós (meaning hidden), and λóγos (meaning speech), which have retained their meaning in the Greek language for many centuries.
