Features: Cryptography involves the concepts, definitions, and constructions of computational systems for solving communication confidentiality problems. The design of a cryptographic system must be based on a solid foundation. This book provides a systematic and rigorous discussion on this fundamental issue: defining cryptographic goals using existing tools and solving new cryptographic problems. The entire book focuses on basic mathematical tools such as computational hardness, pseudorandomness, and zero-knowledge proofs. The emphasis is on clarifying fundamental concepts and proving the feasibility of cryptographic problem-solving methods, rather than focusing on describing specific methods.
