The History of Information Security

Information Security is usually achieved through a mix of technical, organizational and legal measures. These may include the application of cryptography, the hierarchical modeling of organizations in the order of assurance, among interested parties.

The history of Information Security. Some aspects, such as the interception of encrypted messages during World War II, have been largely uncovered.

There is never any effort to write a comprehensive history. This is most unfortunate, because Information Security should be perceived as a legal reliance on technical means.

This book is intended as a first field-survey. It consists of twenty-eight contributions, written and described as a role in the development of computer science, law, and social issues. of this field.

These include: the emergence of cryptology as a discipline during the Renaissance, the Black Chambers in the 18th century, the history of the NSA and its Soviet counterparts and contemporary cryptology. Other subjects are: computer security standards, computer crime, computer software.

- Interdisciplinary coverage of the history of Information Security
- Written by top experts in law, history, computer and information science
- First comprehensive work in Information Security
