Classical Introduction To Cryptography: Applications For Communications Security, a

'A Classical Introduction to Cryptography: Applications for Communications Security' introduces fundamentals of information and communication security by providing appropriate mathematical concepts to prove or break the security of cryptographic schemes. This advanced-level textbook covers conventional cryptographic primitives and cryptanalysis of these primitives; basic algebra and number theory for cryptologists; public key cryptography and cryptanalysis of these schemes; and other cryptographic protocols, e.g. secret sharing, zero-knowledge proofs and undeniable signature schemes. 'A Classical Introduction to Cryptography: Applications for Communications Security' is designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate-level students in computer science. This book is also suitable for researchers and practitioners in industry.
