Features: Mathematics is the theoretical foundation of information security and authentication technologies. This book introduces some fundamental knowledge closely related to the application of mathematics in this field, mainly including integer arithmetic, continued fractions, the concepts of groups, rings, and fields, polynomials, finite fields, Boolean functions, graph theory, computational complexity, and more. While introducing these mathematical concepts, the book also provides examples of their applications in the field of information security. Through these application examples, it also helps readers better understand these abstract mathematical theories. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students majoring in information security, as well as related mathematics and information science programs.
