Modern Cryptography: Applied Mathematics for Encryption and Information Security

Introduction

There are a number of cryptography books on the market today. Many are very well written. I would know; I have an extensive cryptography library and have read most of the books on the market. However, most of these books suffer from one common issue: they assume the reader has a solid mathematical background and approach cryptography from that perspective. It is also sometimes the case that cryptography authors write as if they were speaking to experienced cryptographers, or at least to those with a basic working knowledge.

This book was designed to bring cryptography to the general security community. You need not have any mathematics background beyond basic secondary school algebra. The book will cover the math you need. Furthermore, ...
