First sentence: The newcomer to the subject of cryptographic protocols for authentication and key management is likely to be bemused by the sheer variety of techniques and technical background required.
Description: "This book is the first comprehensive treatment of protocols for authentication and key establishment. It allows researchers and practitioners to quickly access a protocol for their needs and become aware of existing protocols that have been broken in the literature.

In addition to a clear and uniform presentation of the protocols, this book includes a description of all the main attack types and classifies most protocols in terms of their properties and resource requirements. It also includes tutorial material suitable for graduate students."--Jacket.
