Introduction
08/30: Some good
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 (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 – encyclopedic coverage, 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).
