This book contains a selection of papers submitted to the Workshop on Coding, Cryptography and Combinatorics (CCC 2003). An important feature of the book are invited surveys on key topics such as Bool
THE LEGACY…First introduced in 1995, Cryptography: Theory and Practice garnered enormous praise and popularity, and soon became the standard textbook for cryptography courses around the world.
Today's pervasive computing and communications networks have created an intense need for secure and reliable cryptographic systems. Bringing together a fascinating mixture of topics in engineering, mathematics, computer science, and informatics, this book presents the timeless mathematical theory underpinning cryptosystems both old and new. Major branches of classical and modern cryptography are discussed in detail, from basic block and stream cyphers through to systems based on elliptic and hyperelliptic curves, accompanied by concise summaries of the necessary mathematical background. Practical aspects such as implementation, authentication and protocol-sharing are also covered, as are the possible pitfalls surrounding various cryptographic methods. Written specifically with engineers in mind, and providing a solid grounding in the relevant algorithms, protocols and techniques, this insightful introduction to the foundations of modern cryptography is ideal for graduate students and r
First introduced in 1995, Cryptography: Theory and Practice is the most widely used and referenced textbook for introductory cryptography courses taught throughout the world. It offers comprehens
Over the last 50 years there have been an increasing number of applications of algebraic tools to solve problems in communications, in particular in the fields of error-control codes and cryptography.
Quantum computers will break today's most popular public-key cryptographic systems, including RSA, DSA, and ECDSA. This book introduces the reader to the next generation of cryptographic algorithms, t
This book is about relations between three different areas of mathematics and theoretical computer science: combinatorial group theory, cryptography, and complexity theory. It is explored how non-comm
This text for advanced students and researchers covers the fundamentals of secure storage and transportation of information. Topics covered include symmetric (DES) and asymmetric (RSA) cryptographic a

The main focus of the book will graduate level courses on the techniques used in obtaining lattice-based cryptosystems. The book will first cover the basics of lattices and then introduce the more adv
This introductory textbook explains cryptography with a strongly mathematical foundation. The major book parts are mathematical background, symmetric encryption, public-key encryption and signatures,
Cryptography is a key technology in electronic key systems. It is used to keep data secret, digitally sign documents, access control, and so forth. Users therefore should not only know how its techniq
This updated and expanded second edition of a highly praised text provides a rigorous yet accessible account of modern cryptography, focusing on formal definitions, assumptions, and rigorous proofs of
As an intermediate model between conventional PKC and ID-PKC, CL-PKC can avoid the heavy overhead of certificate management in traditional PKC as well as the key escrow problem in ID-PKC altogether. S
