From the exciting history of its development in ancient times to
the present day, Introduction to Cryptography with Mathematical
Foundations and Computer Implementations provides a focused tour of
the central concepts of cryptography. Rather than present an
encyclopedic treatment of topics in cryptography, it delineates
cryptographic concepts in chronological order, developing the
mathematics as needed.
Written in an engaging yet rigorous style, each chapter
introduces important concepts with clear definitions and theorems.
Numerous examples explain key points while figures and tables help
illustrate more difficult or subtle concepts. Each chapter is
punctuated with "Exercises for the Reader;" complete solutions for
these are included in an appendix. Carefully crafted exercise sets
are also provided at the end of each chapter, and detailed
solutions to most odd-numbered exercises can be found in a
designated appendix. The computer implementation section at the end
of every chapter guides students through the process of writing
their own programs. A supporting website provides an extensive set
of sample programs as well as downloadable platform-independent
applet pages for some core programs and algorithms.
As the reliance on cryptography by business, government, and
industry continues and new technologies for transferring data
become available, cryptography plays a permanent, important role in
day-to-day operations. This self-contained sophomore-level text
traces the evolution of the field, from its origins through
present-day cryptosystems, including public key cryptography and
elliptic curve cryptography.
