Encrypt, sign, attack: a compact introduction to cryptography

This book explains compactly, without theoretical superstructure and with as little mathematical formalism as possible, the essential concepts in the encryption of messages and data worthy of protection. The focus is on the description of the historically and practically important cipher, signature and authentication methods. Both symmetric encryption and public-key ciphers are discussed. In ea…

Lai-massey cipher designs : history, design criteria and cryptanalysis

This book provides the first extensive survey of block ciphers following the Lai-Massey design paradigm. After the introduction, with historical remarks, the author structures the book into a chapter on the description of the PES, IDEA and other related ciphers, followed by a chapter on cryptanalysis of these ciphers, and another chapter on new cipher designs. The appendices include surveys of …

Multivariate public key cryptosystems (advances in information security book 80)

This book discusses the current research concerning public key cryptosystems. It begins with an introduction to the basic concepts of multivariate cryptography and the history of this field. Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. Multivariate Cryptography 3. The Matsumoto-Imai Cryptosystem 4. Hidden Field Equations 5. Oil and Vinegar 6. MQDSS 7. The SimpleMatrix Encryption Scheme 8. …

The discrete math workbook: a companion manual using Python

This practically-focused study guide introduces the fundamentals of discrete mathematics through an extensive set of classroom-tested problems. Each chapter presents a concise introduction to the relevant theory, followed by a detailed account of common challenges and methods for overcoming these. The reader is then encouraged to practice solving such problems for themselves, by tackling a vari…

Lattice-based cryptosystems: a design perspective

This book focuses on lattice-based cryptosystems, widely considered to be one of the most promising post-quantum cryptosystems and provides fundamental insights into how to construct provably secure cryptosystems from hard lattice problems. The concept of provable security is used to inform the choice of lattice tool for designing cryptosystems, including public-key encryption, identity-based e…

Cryptography arithmetic: algorithms and hardware architectures (advances in i…

This book is an introduction to the implementation of cryptosystems at that level. The aforementioned arithmetic is mostly the arithmetic of finite fields, and the book is essentially one on the arithmetic of prime fields and binary fields in the context of cryptography. The book has three main parts. The first part is on generic algorithms and hardware architectures for the basic arithmetic op…

Discrete mathematics and graph theory: a concise study companion and guide (u…

This textbook can serve as a comprehensive manual of discrete mathematics and graph theory for non-Computer Science majors; as a reference and study aid for professionals and researchers who have not taken any discrete math course before. It can also be used as a reference book for a course on Discrete Mathematics in Computer Science or Mathematics curricula. Table of Contents Part I Fund…

Cryptology for engineers: an application-oriented mathematical introduction

Cryptology for Engineers is a study of digital security in communications systems. The book covers the cryptographical functionalities of ciphering, hash generation, digital signature generation, key management and random number generation, with a clear sense of the mathematical background on the one hand and engineers' requirements on the other. Numerous examples computable by hand or with a s…

Feistel ciphers : security proofs and cryptanalysis

This book provides a survey on different kinds of Feistel ciphers, with their definitions and mathematical/computational properties. Feistel ciphers are widely used in cryptography in order to obtain pseudorandom permutations and secret-key block ciphers. In Part 1, we describe Feistel ciphers and their variants. We also give a brief story of these ciphers and basic security results. In Part 2,…
