An Introduction to Cryptography Mirror

EBook Description: An Introduction to Cryptography Mirror

Public Key Cryptanalysis Using Algebraic and Lattice Methods (G. Durfee)

Handbook of Financial Cryptography and Security

The Handbook of Financial Cryptography and Security elucidates the theory and techniques of cryptography and illustrates how to establish and maintain security under the framework of financial cryptography. It applies various cryptographic techniques to auctions, electronic voting, micropayment systems, digital rights, financial portfolios, routing networks, and more.

In the first part, the book examines blind signatures and other important cryptographic techniques with respect to digital cash/e-cash. It also looks at the role of cryptography in auctions and voting, describes properties that can be required of systems implementing value exchange, and presents methods by which selected receivers can decrypt signals sent out to everyone.

The second section begins with a discussion on lowering transaction costs of settling payments so that commerce can occur at the sub-penny level. The book then addresses the challenge of a system solution for the protection of intellectual property, before presenting an application of cryptography to financial exchanges and markets.

Exploring financial cryptography in the real world, the third part discusses the often-complex issues of phishing, privacy and anonymity, and protecting the identity of objects and users.

With a focus on human factors, the final section considers whether systems will elicit or encourage the desired behavior of the participants of the system. It also explains how the law and regulations impact financial cryptography.

In the real world, smart and adaptive adversaries employ all types of means to circumvent inconvenient security restraints. This useful handbook provides answers to general questions about the field of financial cryptography as well as solutions to specific real-world security problems.

Introduction to Cryptography - Principles and Applications (Second Edition)

�Due to the rapid growth of digital communication and electronic data exchange, information security has become a crucial issue in industry, business, and administration. Modern cryptography provides essential techniques for securing information and protecting data.

Guide to Elliptic Curve Cryptography (Springer Professional Computing)

A broad-ranging expository guidebook on EEC cryptosystems and technology, written by leading EEC researchers and authorities. All aspects of the topic are clearly presented (accessible technical level, i.e., B.S. degree), with plenty of supporting real-world examples. An essential reference for practitioners or professionals in computer science, computer engineering, network design, and network/data security, as well as a useful self-study resource for researchers.

Foundations Of Cryptography #2

Cryptography is concerned with the conceptualization, definition, and construction of computing systems that address security concerns. The design of cryptographic systems must be based on firm foundations. Building on the basic tools presented in the first volume, this second volume of Foundations of Cryptography contains a rigorous and systematic treatment of three basic applications: Encryption, Signatures, and General Cryptographic Protocols. It is suitable for use in a graduate course on cryptography and as a reference book for experts. The author assumes basic familiarity with the design and analysis of algorithms; some knowledge of complexity theory and probability is also useful. Also available: Volume I: Basic Tools

Disappearing Cryptography (Second)

Disappearing Cryptography, Second Edition: Information Hiding: Steganography & Watermarking
Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann | ISBN: 1558607692 | edition 2002 | PDF | 413 pages | 18,7 mb
Disappearing Cryptography, Second Edition describes how to take words, sounds, or images and hide them in digital data so they look like other words, sounds, or images. When used properly, this powerful technique makes it almost impossible to trace the author and the recipient of a message. Conversations can be submerged in the flow of information through the Internet so that no one can know if a conversation exists at all.

Theory of Cryptography By Salil P. Vadhan

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th Theory of Cryptography Conference, TCC 2007, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in February 2007.
The 31 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 118 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on encryption, universally composable security, arguments and zero knowledge, notions of security, obfuscation, secret sharing and multiparty computation, signatures and watermarking, private approximation and black-box reductions, and key establishment.

Introduction to Cryptography, Second Edition

Continuing a bestselling tradition, An Introduction to Cryptography, Second Edition features all of the requisite background material on number theory and algorithmic complexity, includes a historical look at the field, and offers updated and expanded exercise sets. In addition to updates throughout the text, this edition includes two new chapters on current and future applications that cover topics such as electronic mail, Internet security, protocol layers and SSL, firewalls, client-server model and cookies, network security, wireless security, smart cards, and biometrics. The book also provides additional information on cryptanalysis and primality testing as well as appendices on DES and primitive roots.

An undergraduate introductory course text, intended for readers with little or no background in number theory (the math is presented as needed). The text also contains enough advanced, optional material to challenge the more informed student. Mollin (mathematics, U. of Calgary) begins with the origins of cryptography and then covers symmetric-key cryptosystems, public-key cryptosystems, and primality testing. The final chapter deals with advanced topics: elliptic curves, zero-knowledge, and quantum cryptography.

Computer Security And Cryptography

Gain the skills and knowledge needed to create effective data security systems. This book updates readers with all the tools, techniques, and concepts needed to understand and implement data security systems. It presents a wide range of topics for a thorough understanding of the factors that affect the efficiency of secrecy, authentication, and digital signature schema. Most importantly, readers gain hands-on experience in cryptanalysis and learn how to create effective cryptographic systems.

The author contributed to the design and analysis of the Data Encryption Standard (DES), a widely used symmetric-key encryption algorithm. His recommendations are based on firsthand experience of what does and does not work.

Thorough in its coverage, the book starts with a discussion of the history of cryptography, including a description of the basic encryption systems and many of the cipher systems used in the twentieth century. The author then discusses the theory of symmetric- and public-key cryptography. Readers not only discover what cryptography can do to protect sensitive data, but also learn the practical limitations of the technology. The book ends with two chapters that explore a wide range of cryptography applications.

Financial Cryptography and Data Security

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Financial Cryptography and Data Security, FC 2009, held in Accra Beach, Barbados, in February 2009.
The 20 revised full papers and 1 revised short papers presented together with 1 panel report and 1 keynote address were carefully reviewed and selected from 91 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on economics of information security, anonymity and privacy, private computation, authentication and identification, fraud detection and auctions.
