Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NATO ASI F,volume 6))

Abstract

This paper traces the development of data encipherment in the public domain, examining the available algorithms, and discusses the way in which standards for applications of data encipherment are developing. It also serves as an introduction to the two associated papers on key management and data signature.
