Fouad Ayoub, K. Singh · IEE Proceedings F Communications Radar and Signal Processing · 1984
In the paper some of the cryptographic techniques, algorithms and applications in computer networks are reviewed. Symmetric and asymmetric cryptosystems, possible cryptanalytical attacks, cryptosecurity and the relevance of complexity theory to the security of ciphers are described. The major threats and counter-measures in computer-network communications are outlined. Finally, cryptographic applications and limitations in computer networks are examined.
