ELECTRONIC SECURITY AND ESPIONAGE - LUKA MATIC ...

Nowadays  security problems are rarely properly solved or correctly addressed. Electronic
security is only part of the chain in making a system secure. Electronic security is usually
addressed as network or software security  neglecting other aspects  but the chain is only as
strong as its weakest link. This book is about electronic hardware security  with an emphasis
on problems that you can solve on a shoestring DIY budget. It deals mostly with secure
communications  cryptosystems  and espionage. You will quickly appreciate that you can't simply
buy a trustworthy and reliable cryptosystem off the shelf. You will then realise that this
applies equally to individuals  corporations  and governments. If you want to increase your
electronic security awareness in a world already overcrowded with networks of microphones and
cameras  this is a book for you. Furthermore  if you want to do something DIY by designing and
expanding upon simple electronic systems  please continue reading. Some of the devices
described are already published as projects in the Elektor magazine. Some are still ideas yet
to be worked out. Complexity is the main enemy of security  so we'll try to keep to simple
systems. Every chapter will analyse real-life espionage events or at least several hypothetical
scenarios that will hopefully spark your imagination. The final goal is to build a
security-conscious mindset (or to get into a head of a spy) which is necessary to recognise
possible threats beforehand  to design a truly secure system. Don't bother reading if: you
think you and your secrets are 100% safe and secure you think somebody else can effectively
handle your security you think conspiracy theories only exist in theory - Telefunken's
masterpiece the FS-5000 Harpoon was built on one!
