Book Description
From the Back Cover
The first and only guide to one of today's most important new cryptography algorithms The Twofish Encryption Algorithm A symmetric block cipher that accepts keys of any length, up to 256 bits, Twofish is among the new encryption
algorithms being considered by the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) as a replacement for the DES algorithm. Highly secure and flexible, Twofish works extremely well with large microprocessors, 8-bit smart card microprocessors, and
dedicated hardware. Now from the team who developed Twofish, this book provides you with your first detailed look at:
All aspects of Twofish's design and anatomy
Twofish performance and testing results
Step-by-step instructions on how to
use it in your systems
Complete source code, in C, for implementing Twofish
On the companion Web site you'll find:
A direct link to Counterpane Systems for updates on Twofish
A link to the National Institute of Science and Technology
(NIST) for ongoing information about the competing technologies being considered for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for the next millennium
