The Barnes & Noble Review

What if someone used cryptography to create virtually undetectable viruses,

worms, and Trojan horses, tailored to attack you? What if they could create

viruses that encrypted your data -- and wouldn?t decode it without their

permission? Those days may be coming -- and soon.



An extraordinary range of crypto-techniques can be turned to evil: semantic

security, reduction arguments, polynomial indistinguishability, random oracles,

one-way functions, Feistel ciphers, entropy extractors, pseudorandom number

generators, you name it. This book shows how it?s done (with pseudo-code, not

real code, for obvious reasons). The authors also offer known countermeasures --

where they exist, that is.



Consider the cryptovirus that can capture data without revealing what it?s

stealing, even if it?s being watched. Or virtually untraceable

password-snatching cryptotrojans: you can?t even tell when they?re encrypting

something. Or malware that attacks industry-standard cryptosystems, giving

crackers covert access to your private keys? (Ideal for governments spying on

citizens.)



How about survivable malware built using non-zero-sum game theory (the authors?

example attacks a brokerage firm, a rich target if there ever was one)? Or

?kleptographic? attacks on smartcard devices? Or reversible denial-of-service

attacks?



This is the real deal. Dr. Adam Young, a research scientist at Cigital,

fulfilling a research contract for the Department of Defense. His coauthor, a

senior researcher at Columbia University, edits the Journal of Cryptology.

They?ve helped to open a whole new frontier of infosecurity research. If you

want to keep your systems safe, you need to follow them. Bill Camarda

From the Publisher



"Tomorrow?s hackers may ransack the cryptographer?s toolkit for their own

nefarious needs. From this chilling perspective, the authors make a solid

scientific contribution, and tell a good story too."

?Matthew Franklin, PhD Program Chair, Crypto 2004



WHAT IF HACKERS CONTROL THE WEAPONS USED TO FIGHT THEM?



Hackers have unleashed the dark side of cryptography?that device developed to

defeat Trojan horses, viruses, password theft, and other cybercrime. It?s called

cryptovirology, the art of turning the very methods designed to protect your

data into a means of subverting it. In this fascinating, disturbing volume, the

experts who first identified cryptovirology show you exactly what you?re up

against and how to fight back.



They will take you inside the brilliant and devious mind of a hacker?as much an

addict as the vacant-eyed denizen of the crackhouse?so you can feel the rush and

recognize your opponent?s power. Then, they will arm you for the counterattack.



Cryptovirology seems like a futuristic fantasy, but be assured, the threat is

ominously real. If you want to protect your data, your identity, and yourself,

vigilance is essential?now.



* Understand the mechanics of computationally secure information stealing

* Learn how non-zero sum Game Theory is used to develop survivable malware

* Discover how hackers use public key cryptography to mount extortion

attacks

* Recognize and combat the danger of kleptographic attacks on smart-card

devices

* Build a strong arsenal against a cryptovirology attack
