Features: This book avoids discussing the RSA algorithm and a large amount of number theory-related discrete logarithms in isolation, nor does it mention specific protocols or how to attack others' computations. It is primarily descriptive, involving only a small amount of mathematical proofs. The textbook comprehensively covers a large number of fundamental concepts in cryptography. Many chapters in this book go beyond the content typically covered in one semester. The book thoroughly explains the basic knowledge of cryptography and related foundational mathematical theories, introduces cutting-edge cryptographic topics such as elliptic curves, AES, and quantum cryptography, and elaborates on application issues like digital signatures and digital cash in detail. Additionally, each chapter provides corresponding exercises, and examples related to Mathematica, Maple, and MATLAB are given in the appendix. This book can be used as a textbook or reference for cryptography, communication security, and network security courses in higher education institutions for majors such as applied mathematics, communication, and computer science. It can also serve as a reference for information security system designers and developers, as well as cryptography and information security enthusiasts.
