08/30 Notes
1 - Introduction
08/30: Some books in cryptography
§ Jonathan
Katz and Yehuda Lindell,
Introduction to Modern Cryptography, Chapman & Hall/CRC 2007 (excellent
book, very rigorous and readable).
§ Doug
Stinson, Cryptography: Theory and Practice, CRC Press 1996 (excellent book, may
be tough mathematically).
§ Bruce Schneier, Applied
Cryptography, John Wiley and Sons 1994 (popular textbook, emphasis on the
application aspects).
§ Paul
Garrett, Making, Breaking Codes. An Introduction to
Cryptology, Prentice Hall 2001. (nice coverage,
it has more math than our textbook)
§ Richard
A. Mollin, An Introduction
to Cryptography, Chapman & Hall/CRC 2001. (emphasis
on number theory).
§ A.J.
Menezes, P.C. van Oorschot
and S.A. Vanstone, CRC Handbook of Applied Cryptography, CRC Press 1996 (an
encyclopedia). It is available on-line at http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/
§ Evangelos Kranakis, Primality and
Cryptography, John Wiley & Sons 1986 ( mathematics
of cryptography, very formal approach).
