A How-to Guide for Implementing Algorithms and ProtocolsAddressing real-world implementation issues, Understanding and Applying Cryptography and Data Security emphasizes cryptographic algorithm and protocol implementation in hardware, software, and embedded systems. Derived from the author’s teaching notes and research publications, the text is designed for electrical engineering and computer science courses.Provides the Foundation for Constructing Cryptographic Protocols. The first several chapters present various types of symmetric-key cryptographic algorithms. These chapters examine basic substitution ciphers, cryptanalysis, the Data Encryption Standard (DES), and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Subsequent chapters on public-key cryptographic algorithms cover the underlying mathematics behind the computation of inverses, the use of fast exponentiation techniques, tradeoffs between public- and symmetric-key algorithms, and the minimum key lengths necessary to maintain acceptable levels of security. The final chapters present the components needed for the creation of cryptographic protocols and investigate different security services and their impact on the construction of cryptographic protocols.Offers Implementation Comparisons . By examining tradeoffs between code size, hardware logic resource requirements, memory usage, speed and throughput, power consumption, and more, this textbook provides students with a feel for what they may encounter in actual job situations.A solutions manual is available to qualified instructors with course adoptions.
Media bias has been a hot-button issue for several decades and it features prominently in the post-2016 political conversation. Yet, it receives only spotty treatment in existing materials aimed at political communication or introductory American politics courses. Evaluating Media Bias is a brief, supplemental resource that provides an academically informed but broadly accessible overview of the major concepts and controversies involving media bias. Adam Schiffer explores the contours of the partisan-bias debate before pivoting to real biases: the patterns, constraints, and shortcomings plaguing American political news. Media bias is more relevant than ever in the aftermath of the presidential election, which launched a flurry of media criticism from scholars, commentators, and thoughtful news professionals. Engaging and informative, this text reviews what we know about media bias, offers timely case studies as illustration, and introduces an original framework for unifying diverse conversations about this topic that is the subject of so much ire in our country. Evaluating Media Bias allows students of American politics, and politically aware citizens alike, the means of detecting and evaluating bias for themselves, and thus join the national conversation about the state of American news media.

In basketball, just as in American culture, the 1970s were imperfect. But it was a vitally important time in the development of the nation and of the National Basketball Association. During this decade Americans suffered through the war in Vietnam and Nixon’s Watergate cover-up (not to mention disco music and leisure suits) while the NBA weathered the arrival of free agency and charges that its players were “too black.” Despite this turmoil, or perhaps because of it, the NBA evolved into a cultural phenomenon. Tall Tales and Short Shorts: Dr. J, Pistol Pete, and the Birth of the Modern NBA traces the evolution of the NBA from the retirement of Bill Russell in 1969 to the arrival of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson ten years later. Sandwiched between the youthful league of the sixties and its mature successor in the eighties, this book reveals the awkward teenage years of the NBA in the seventies. It examines the many controversies that plagued the league during this time, including illicit drug use, on-court violence, and escalating player salaries. Yet even as attendance dwindled and networks relegated playoff games to tape-delayed, late-night broadcasts, fans still pulled on floppy gray socks like “Pistol Pete” Maravich, emulated Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s sweeping skyhook, and grew out mushrooming afros à la “Dr. J” Julius Erving. The first book-length treatment of pro basketball in the 1970s, Tall Tales and Short Shorts brings to life the players, teams, and the league as a whole as they dealt with expansion, a merger with the ABA, and transitioning into a new era. Sport historians and basketball fans will enjoy this entertaining and enlightening survey of an often-overlooked time in the development of the NBA.
This notepad understands. It understands your hustle, your passions, your exhaustion. Based on Adam J. Kurtz's super-popular print, this list ledger helps you separate work and life in a balanced way. From the author/artist: "Here's the deal: Being busy isn't a personality. Being tired isn't helping you 'kick ass, boss babe!' None of the inspirational aphorisms in the world are going to replace things like sleep, sunshine, positive relationships, washing your hair just to feel the water on your face, and all those other real-life things. "My wish for you is balance: plenty of things going on in your professional and personal life. Ups and downs, learning experiences, huge successes, and 'anecdotal research' on your way. Use these pads as you plan, build, and grow. This shit is real, and it helps." —Adam • Funny, honest, and uplifting, this twist on work-life productivity will appeal to anyone that has felt burnout or struggled to find balance. • Great for followers of Adam J. Kurtz, or any fans of sarcasm and dark humor • A great gift (or self-purchase) for recent graduates or anyone new to the workplace Includes: • 2 lined notepads (one for "Work Things" and one for "Life Things", 3 5/8 x 9 inches each • Cover reads "Do What You Love and You'll Never Work a Day in Your Life Work Super Hard All the Time with No Separation or Any Boundaries and Also Take Everything Extremely Personally" • Pencil (with eraser) with the words "Try not to lose it" printed on the side in the artist's signature handwriting Adam J. Kurtz is a Brooklyn-based artist and author whose work is rooted in honesty, humor, and a little darkness.

Leaving behind the familiarity of his home church, Adam J. Coffman graduated from high school and entered a Christian university in order to train for vocational ministry. What Adam did not realize at the time, was that he was taking his first steps on a nine year odyssey that would lead him to people, places, and situations that he could have never fathomed would be involved in his training as a missionary and minister.Adam's account of his journey through Kentucky Christian University paints a picture of formal academic ministry training that would astound the average Sunday morning church attendee. The story of his crossing through the waters of Christian academia is full of lessons learned the hard way, and deals candidly with issues that are often not discussed within the realm of evangelical academic circles. Beginning in 1997, and taking him through 2006, Crossing KCU covers a wide range of experiences that find their common ground and anchor only within the timeless boundaries of Scripture. Broken up by semesters spent away from the school for a variety of reasons, Adam carefully and painfully guides us through a series of events that took him from being an unsuspecting high school senior, to a campus minister and missionary. Along the way we read of his personal interactions with the institution that is both the antagonist and instrument of his formal Christian education, taking him through many phases of spiritual growth that must inevitably be the fate of anyone who chooses to follow Jesus Christ as Lord.

This book diagnoses an unexamined cause of the incivility in our public discourse. Our most contentious controversies today are moral. We disagree not only about questions of efficiency and democracy and civil liberties but also about what is right to do and who we are becoming as a people. We have not yet understood the implications of this shift in public reasoning from discourse about political ideals to debates about moral imperatives. The book prescribes a way to educate ourselves and our young people how to disagree well. We are not able to engage in moral discourse effectively because our educational programs are still organized around obsolete principles of political neutrality. Meanwhile, our young people have learned to bend moral claims in service to self-authorship. Also, different groups of us look to different sources of moral truth. Further complicating our efforts, different generations use the same language to refer to different moral ideas. The book suggests principles for a practical education that is robustly moral, that will enable us to understand and overcome these new challenges. And it lays out a framework for flourishing together in society despite our radical differences.

The peasants called it "The Storm."On a cold autumn morning seven years ago, the sky exploded with silent lightning. In its wake, everything changed.Now the sun rises in the south, if it rises at all. Animals go mad. Crops ripen and die overnight. The Church - a body of miracle-workers who can heal the sick and walk through fire - warns that God's final judgment is at hand.The world will soon end.Now, stories tell of men that speak with beasts and peasants who work their own miracles. The Church decries these heretics, hunting them like animals and demanding the same of the faithful.In a remote village, a small group of childhood friends are caught in the crossfire. Accused of heresy by the Church and sentenced to death, they escape their village as it burns behind them.But some may find hope.Their Church hunts them. A cursed world assails them. To survive, one of them will learn the true meaning of her beliefs; another, that some portents can be deceiving. But only one revelation has a chance to save them: That they are not forsaken. They have each other.Bestselling Kindle Suspense author Adam J. Nicolai invites you to a land beneath a broken sky, where sorceries clash with miracles, mountains are crowned with lightning, and faith - true faith - can topple empires.
