Résumé

The need for secure communications is greater than ever as attempts at blackmail, fraud and the theft of commercial secrets continue to pose threats to telecommunications and computer security. Whilst there is a multitude of books on the subject of cryptology which discuss algorithms and encryption techniques in great detail, there are few which deal, as this text does, with the practicalities of secure voice communication management.

* Discusses various communication mediums, highlighting their technical aspects, their security risks and suggests solutions to the problems facing the security systems designer, buyer or manager

* Provides numerous worked, network models, based on real life projects, which present a variety of practical solutions and suggestions, which the security planners may either adopt directly, or adapt according to their own particular needs and circumstances

* Reinforces the need for secure communications, including reference to historical events and the author's personal experience

* Equips the secure communications buyer or designer, with fundamental tools to assist with the assessment of ciphering equipment and to facilitate decision-making processes

* Highlights the need for efficient network management, including the setting up of a management hierarchy, formulating a security strategy, its tactical and operational implementation and the paramount task of training personnel

* Investigates the threats to voice and fax communications and suggests solutions with particular attention to telephone, GSM and radio technologies

* Enables the reader to identify suitable equipment, its practical application and the management tools required to secure communicationlinks

* Provides comprehensive foundation material on basic encryption and communications security, for the uninformed reader to be able to appreciate the technical aspects and security implications that are discussed later in the book.

A valuable reference resource for engineers, designers and developers of telecommunications and communications security systems, as well as security researchers, communications systems and networks managers and security personnel, and postgraduate and senior undergraduate students on security/cryptology courses.
