Table of contents:
Classical Cryptography. Shannon's Theory. Block Ciphers and the Advanced Encryption Standard. Cryptographic Hash Functions. The RSA Encryption Scheme and Factoring Integers. Public-Key Cryptosystems Based on the Discrete Logarithm Problem. Signature Schemes. Further Reading. Bibliography. Cryptosystem Index. Algorithm Index. Problem Index. Index.
Major advances over the last five years precipitated this major revision of the bestselling Cryptography: Theory and Practice. With more than 40 percent new or updated material, the second edition now provides an even more comprehensive treatment of modern cryptography. It focuses on the new Advanced Encryption Standards and features an entirely new chapter on that subject. Another new chapter explores the applications of secret sharing schemes, including ramp schemes, visual cryptography, threshold cryptography, and broadcast encryption. This is an ideal introductory text for both computer science and mathematics students and a valuable reference for professionals.
