The first part of this book covers the key concepts of cryptography
on an undergraduate level, from encryption and digital signatures
to cryptographic protocols. Essential techniques are demonstrated
in protocols for key exchange, user identification, electronic
elections and digital cash. In the second part, more advanced
topics are addressed, such as the bit security of one-way functions
and computationally perfect pseudorandom bit generators. The
security of cryptographic schemes is a central topic. Typical
examples of provably secure encryption and signature schemes and
their security proofs are given. Though particular attention is
given to the mathematical foundations, no special background in
mathematics is presumed. The necessary algebra, number theory and
probability theory are included in the appendix. Each chapter
closes with a collection of exercises. In the second edition the
authors added a complete description of the AES, an extended
section on cryptographic hash functions, and new sections on random
oracle proofs and public-key encryption schemes that are provably
secure against adaptively-chosen-ciphertext attacks. The third
edition is a further substantive extension, with new topics added,
including: elliptic curve cryptography; Paillier encryption;
quantum cryptography; the new SHA-3 standard for cryptographic hash
functions; a considerably extended section on electronic elections
and Internet voting; mix nets; and zero-knowledge proofs of
shuffles. The book is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate
students in computer science, mathematics, and engineering.
