Introduction to mathematical cryptography

Includes index

Includes bibliography (p. 493-492) and references

1 An introduction to cryptography
2 Discrete logarithms and Diffie-Hellman
3 Integer factorization and RSA
4 Combinatorics, probability, and information theory
5 Elliptic curves and cryptography
6 Lattices and cryptography

This self-contained introduction to modern cryptography emphasizes the mathematics behind the theory of public key cryptosystems and digital signature schemes. The book focuses on these key topics while developing the mathematical tools needed for the construction and security analysis of diverse cryptosystems. Only basic linear algebra is required of the reader; techniques from algebra, number theory, and probability are introduced and developed as required.
