- Summary:
- Hackers have uncovered the dark side of cryptography-that device developed to defeat Trojan horses, viruses, password theft, and other cyber-crime. It's called cryptovirology, the art of turning the very methods designed to protect your data into a means of subverting it. In this fascinating, disturbing volume, the experts who first identified cryptovirology show you exactly what you're up against and how to fight back. They will take you inside the brilliant and devious mind of a hacker-as much an addict as the vacant-eyed denizen of the crackhouse-so you can feel the rush and recognize you
