This textbook provides an introduction to the mathematics on which modern cryptology is based. It covers not only public key cryptography, the glamorous component of modern cryptology, but also pays considerable attention to secret key cryptography, its workhorse in practice. Mo…
Cryptography, as done in this century, is heavily mathematical. But it also has roots in what is computationally feasible. This unique and accessible textbook balances the theorems of mathematics against the feasibility of computation. Cryptography is something one actually does…

Modern cryptosystems, used in numerous applications that require secrecy or privacy - electronic mail, financial transactions, medical-record keeping, government affairs, social media etc. - are based on sophisticated mathematics and algorithms that in implementation involve muc…
