As a beginning graduate student, I recall being frustrated by a
general lack of acces sible sources from which I could learn about
(theoretical) cryptography. I remember wondering: why aren't there
more books presenting the basics of cryptography at an introductory
level? Jumping ahead almost a decade later, as a faculty member my
graduate students now ask me: what is the best resource for
learning about (various topics in) cryptography? This monograph is
intended to serve as an answer to these 1 questions - at least with
regard to digital signature schemes. Given the above motivation,
this book has been written with a beginninggraduate student in
mind: a student who is potentially interested in doing research in
the ?eld of cryptography, and who has taken an introductory course
on the subject, but is not sure where to turn next. Though intended
primarily for that audience, I hope that advanced graduate students
and researchers will ?nd the book useful as well. In addition to
covering various constructions of digital signature schemes in a
uni?ed framework, this text also serves as a compendium of various
"folklore" results that are, perhaps, not as well known as they
should be. This book could also serve as a textbook for a graduate
seminar on advanced cryptography; in such a class, I expect the
entire book could be covered at a leisurely pace in one semester
with perhaps some time left over for excursions into related
topics.
