Coding Theory & Cryptology Books

Cryptography is a branch of both mathematics and computer science, and is affiliated closely with information theory, computer security, and engineering. Cryptography is used in applications present in technologically advanced societies; examples include the security of ATM cards and computer passwords. This book presents research in the field.

Introductory textbook on Cryptography.

Serves as a guide for a cryptographer and code-buster. This work includes: codebreaking methods, examples and tests; how to develop complex ciphers; tools for encrypting messages, from invisible ink to computer pixels; and, a history of how codes and ciphers have developed, taking in the ancient Greeks, the Kama Sutra,and computer ciphers.

Taking in the history of codemaking, from the scribes of ancient Egypt to modern day computer programmers, this book provides an insight into this mysterious craft of codebreaking. It gives an account of complicated ciphers that were devised and cracked during the Cold War and investigates how codebreaking is used to fight crime and terrorism.

Constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO 2005, held in Santa Barbara, California, USA in August 2005. These papers are organized in topical sections on hash functions, theory, cryptanalysis, zero knowledge, anonymity, broadcast encryption, human-oriented cryptography, and more.

This second volume addresses tremendous progress in elliptic curve cryptography since the first volume.

Cryptography is the study of methods to transform information from its original comprehensible form into a scrambled incomprehensible form, such that its content can only be disclosed to some qualified persons. This book includes content that is focused on trends in cryptographic hardware, arithmetic and factoring.

Contains a selection of papers submitted to the Workshop on Coding, Cryptography and Combinatorics (CCC 2003). This book is of interest for postgraduate students and researchers in mathematics, computer science, information theory and electrical engineering.

The contributions in this book are at the cutting edge of cryptography - a field of ever-increasing importance for business applications such as financial transactions via the internet.

This first textbook on this important subject is suitable for both engineering and mathematics students.

Information is an important feature of the modern world. Mathematical techniques underlie the devices that we use to handle it, for example, mobile phones, digital cameras, and personal computers. This book is an integrated introduction to the mathematics of coding, that is, replacing information expressed in symbols, such as a natural language or a sequence of bits, by another message using (pos

Includes two chapters on various 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. This book provides information on cryptanalysis, primality testing, DES, and primitive roots.

Turbo-like Codes introduces turbo error correcting concept in a simple language, including a general theory and the algorithms for decoding turbo-like code. It presents a unified framework for the design and analysis of turbo codes and LDPC codes and their decoding algorithms. A major focus of Turbo-like Codes is on high speed turbo decoding, which targets applications with data rates of several

Enter the secret world of codes - from Voynich to Enigma and Kryptos - and unravel a brand new code.

Offers coverage of the use of cryptographic protocols that establish the steps that must be taken before any type of secret transmission can be completed. This book shows readers how the various parties to the transaction establish their cryptographic identities or keys.

In this new approach, the authors consider the data network as a channel (in the sense of information theory) with several layers. Split into two sections, this book covers: PART 1 is mainly devoted to a review of coding theory and its applications.

Focuses on cross-fertilisations between stream ciphers and number theory. This work covers known connections between the two areas. It contains over thirty research problems for stimulating interactions between the two areas. It is written by leading researchers in stream ciphers and number theory.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th IMA International Conference on Cryptography and Coding, held in Cirencester, UK in December 2007. The 22 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on signatures, boolean functions, block cipher cryptanalysis, .

This self-contained text introduces the principles and techniques of quantum cryptography, with specific focus on secret-key distillation.
