Summary
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. This text provides an ideal in…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This book explains the mathematical foundations of public key cryptography in a mathematically correct and thorough way without omitting important practicalities. … I would like to emphasize that the book is very well written and quite clear. Topics are well motivated, and there are a good number of examples and nicely chosen exercises. To me, this book is still the first-choice introduction to public-key cryptography.” (Klaus Galensa, Computing Reviews, March, 2015)
“This is a text for an upper undergraduate/lower graduate course in mathematical cryptography. … It is very well written and quite clear. Topics are well-motivated, and there are a good number of examples and nicely chosen exercises. … An instructor of a fairly sophisticated undergraduate course in cryptography who wants to emphasize public key cryptography should definitely take a look at this book.” (Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews, October, 2014)About The Author
