Material type: BookSeries: Publisher: Boca Raton : CRC Press, c2009.Description: 501 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.ISBN: 9781420070026Program: CSCI361Subject(s): Computer algorithms | CryptographyDDC classification: 005.8/2 Online resources: Location Map
Summary:
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.</p> <p>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.

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.
