From the book reviews: "Experienced security practitioners and cryptography researchers will benefit from reading this book. ... the book provides a thorough analysis of key distribution and predistribution techniques, alongside pertinent applications. I would recommend this book as an advanced-level resource on symmetric cryptography and its application to diverse application scenarios." (Zubair Baig, Computing Reviews, February, 2015)
