Features: This book explains the fundamental knowledge and basic concepts of modern cryptography, symmetric cryptographic algorithms such as DES, IDEA, AES, public-key cryptographic algorithms such as RSA, NTRU, digital signature algorithms such as ElGamal, DSS, and the basics of stream cryptography. It also covers the fundamental principles and methods of three new important research directions in modern cryptography: elliptic curve cryptography, chaotic cryptography, and quantum cryptography. Finally, it discusses several typical cryptographic protocols. This book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate students majoring in information security, as well as a reference for graduate students and technical workers in other information technology fields.
