Cryptology is the art and science of secure communication over
insecure channels. The primary aim of this book is to provide a
self-contained overview of recent cryptologic achievements and
techniques in a form that can be understood by readers having no
previous acquaintance with cryptology. It can thus be used as
independent reading by whoever wishes to get started on the
subject. An extensive bibliography of 250 references is included to
help the reader deepen his or her understanding and go beyond the
topics treated here. This book can also be used as preliminary
material for an introductory course on cryptology. Despite its
simplicity, it covers enough state-of-the-art material to be
nevertheless of interest to the specialist. After a survey of the
main secret and public key techniques, various applications are
discussed. The last chapter describes 'quantum cryptography', a
revolutionary approach to cryptography that remains secure even
against an opponent with unlimited computing power. Quantum
crytography is based on the principles of quantum physics.
