Algorithmic cryptanalysis

Joux, Antoine

Algorithmic cryptanalysis Antoine Joux - Boca Raton : CRC Press, c2009. - 501 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. - Chapman & Hall/CRC cryptography and network security .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Illustrating the power of algorithms, Algorithmic Cryptanalysisdescribes algorithmic methods with cryptographically relevant examples. Focusing on both private- and public-key cryptographic algorithms, it presents each algorithm either as a textual description, in pseudo-code, or in a C code program.

Divided into three parts, the book begins with a short introduction to cryptography and a background chapter on elementary number theory and algebra. It then moves on to algorithms, with each chapter in this section dedicated to a single topic and often illustrated with simple cryptographic applications. The final part addresses more sophisticated cryptographic applications, including LFSR-based stream ciphers and index calculus methods.
