Probabilistic and Statistical Methods in Cryptology An Introduction by Selected Topics

From the reviews:

"This book presents a large number of probabilistic aspects of cryptographic systems … . All the classical statistical tests on random sequences are motivated and precisely detailed here. This book is surely a valuable companion to the NIST standard reference … ." (Jérémie Bourdon, Mathematical Reviews, 2005j)

"This is an introductory text devoted to the stochastic approach to cryptology. The author selects various results and techniques to cover several important aspects of the standard and contemporary cryptology and cryptanalysis. … The book is worth reading and is written in a clear and lucid style … . the book provides enough bibliographical information for further reading."
