Negative Positive
Title: More theoretical than practical
Review: We had this book for the course in data transportation and protection taught by the author himself, Yarlagadda. The book provides you with sound mathematical background for techniques used in encryption etc. It covers all the mathematical aspects of Markov chain processes, public key encryption, cryptography etc.It was just too boring for me but was a required course in a way <sigh>.Yarlagadda has a lot of practical experience working for US defense projects in commmunications but he wasn't able to transform that knowledge either in his books or lecture (or slides should I say!)
Is the review positive or negative?
