Book Description
This book provides a compact course in modern cryptography. The mathematical foundations in algebra,number theory and probability are presented with a focus on their cryptographic applications. The text provides rigorous definitions and follows the provable security approach. The most relevant cryptographic schemes are covered,including block ciphers,stream ciphers,hash functions,message authentication codes,public-key encryption,key establishment,digital signatures and elliptic curves. The current developments in post-quantum cryptography are also explored,with separate chapters on quantum computing,lattice-based and code-based cryptosystems. Many examples,figures and exercises,as well as SageMath (Python) computer code,help the reader to understand the concepts and applications of modern cryptography. A special focus is on algebraic structures,which are used in many cryptographic constructions and also in post-quantum systems. The essential mathematics and the modern approach to cryptography and security prepare the reader for more advanced studies. The text requires only a first-year course in mathematics (calculus and linear algebra) and is also accessible to computer scientists and engineers. This book is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in cryptography as well as for self-study.
