Reihe: Information Security and Cryptography

This book covers key concepts of cryptography, from encryption and digital signatures to cryptographic protocols, presenting techniques and protocols for key exchange, user ID, electronic elections and digital cash. Advanced topics include bit security of one-way functions and computationally perfect pseudorandom bit generators. Assuming no special background in mathematics, it includes chapter-ending exercises and the necessary algebra, number theory and probability theory in the appendix. This edition offers new material including a complete description of the AES, a section on cryptographic hash functions, new material on random oracle proofs, and a new section on public-key encryption schemes that are provably secure against adaptively-chosen-ciphertext attacks.
