Security breaches continue to be the highest cost loss to all businesses worldwide, and cryptography is the only technology that can secure Web and Internet applications by encrypting information into an unreadable format.

Explains how a digital certificate verifies the authenticity of a user, then goes on to illustrate ways to generate certificates and validate certificate chains.

Also looks at protocols like Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS or PKCS 7), S/MIME, SSL, and OCSP and examines how they work.

The companion Web site features extensive code samples and working Java examples that will allow programmers to develop secure applications with cryptography.
