В 1995 году Алекс Тау встретил в Камбодже Великого Просветленного Аббата Ванна. Эта встреча кардинально изменила его жизнь и открыла путь к признанию и финансовому успеху. Об этом новая книга Мастера Фэн Шуй, которая вышла одновременно на Русском и Английском языках.

Изложены основные подходы и методы современной криптографии для решения задач, возникающих при обработке, хранении и передаче информации. Основное внимание уделено новым направлениям криптографии, связанным с обеспечением конфиденциальности взаимодействий пользователей компьютеров и компьютерных сетей. Рассмотрены основные шифры с открытыми ключами, методы цифровой подписи, основные криптографические протоколы, блоковые и потоковые шифры, криптографические хеш-функции, а также редко встречающиеся в литературе вопросы о конструкции доказуемо невскрываемых криптосистем и криптографии на эллиптических кривых. Изложение теоретического материала ведется достаточно строго, но с использованием элементарного математического аппарата. Подробно описаны алгоритмы, лежащие в основе криптографических отечественных и международных стандартов.

This best selling book is well known for effectively combining a clear, highly-accurate explanation of theory--supported by superior exercises, examples, and illustrations--and an emphasis on troubleshooting and applications using actual devices. The Ninth Edition features stronger coverage of key areas (including two new chapters on Programmable Logic Devices), new exercises throughout the text, and an improved pedagogical framework. It includes two specially designed sections which link principles to real world practices--a Digital System Application section in every chapter, and practical Workbench activities throughout the text. Plus, Digital Fundamentals, Ninth Edition features an exciting full color format which uses color to enhance the instructional value of photographs, illustrations, tables, charts, and graphs. Throughout the text's coverage, the use of mathematics is limited to only those concepts that are needed for understanding. Floyd's acclaimed troubleshooting emphasis, as always, provides students with the problem solving experience they need to step out of the classroom and into a job!

Although many other models of concurrent and distributed systems have been de- veloped since the introduction in 1964 Petri nets are still an essential model for concurrent systems with respect to both the theory and the applications. The main attraction of Petri nets is the way in which the basic aspects of concurrent systems are captured both conceptually and mathematically. The intuitively appealing graphical notation makes Petri nets the model of choice in many applications. The natural way in which Petri nets allow one to formally capture many of the basic notions and issues of concurrent systems has contributed greatly to the development of a rich theory of concurrent systems based on Petri nets.

Translated by Richard Silverman. Famous Russian work covers basic theory of the more important special functions and their application to specific problems of physics and engineering. Most space devoted to application of cylinder functions and spherical harmonics. Also treated: gamma function, probability integral and related functions, Airy functions, hyper-geometric functions, more.

As an object-oriented language with powerful text processing capabilities, Python is an ideal language for manipulating XML. Python & XML provides you with a solid foundation for using these two languages together. Loaded with practical examples, the book highlights common application tasks, so that you can learn by doing. The book starts with the basics then quickly progresses to complex topics, like transforming XML with XSLT, querying XML with XPath, and working with XML dialects and validation. It also covers the more advanced issues, such as SOAP and distributed web services, and explores the use of Python to create scalable XML streams between distributed applications. If you are a Python programmer who wants to incorporate XML into your skill set, this is the book for you.
