Introduction to Cryptography with Coding Theory

Introduction to Cryptography with Coding Theory 3rd Edition

by Wade Trappe | Lawrence C. Washington 

Extensively revised and updated, the 3rd Edition of Introduction to Cryptography with Coding Theory mixes applied and theoretical aspects to build a solid foundation in cryptography and security. The authors’ lively, conversational tone and practical focus inform a broad coverage of topics from a mathematical point of view, and reflect the most recent trends in the rapidly changing field of cryptography.

This book assumes a minimal background in programming and a level of math sophistication equivalent to a course in linear algebra. It provides a flexible organization, as each chapter is modular and can be covered in any order. Using Mathematica, Maple, and MATLAB, computer examples included in an Appendix explain how to do computation and demonstrate important concepts.

A full chapter on error correcting codes introduces the basic elements of coding theory. Other topics covered: Classical cryptosystems, basic number theory, the data encryption standard, AES: Rijndael, the RSA algorithm, discrete logarithms, digital signatures, e-commerce and digital cash, secret sharing schemes, games, zero knowledge techniques, key establishment protocols, information theory, elliptic curves, error correcting codes, quantum cryptography.

For professionals in cryptography and network security.

For courses in Cryptography, Network Security, and Computer Security. A broad spectrum of cryptography topics, covered from a mathematical point of view
