extensive introduction to modern cryptography, including the RSA
In
this volume, the authors present a self-contained introduction to
discrete mathematics – the science of finite and countably infinite
structures. In addition to taking a theoretical approach, they also
include many practical exercises. The text covers a broad range of
topics such as propositional logic, set theory as well as detailed
treatments of combinatorics and graph theory. This is complemented by an
extensive introduction to modern cryptography, including the RSA
cryptosystem, "postquantum" systems, and the numbertheoretic and
algebraic prerequisites thereof.
