Inhaltsangabe

This book explains how society will face an energy crisis in the coming decades owing to increasing scarcity of fossil fuels and climate change impacts. It carefully explores this coming crisis and concisely examines all of the major technologies related to energy production (fossil fuels, renewables, and nuclear) and their impacts on our society and environment. The author argues that it is wrong to pit alternatives to fossil fuels against each other and proposes that nuclear energy, although by no means free of problems, can be a viable source of reliable and carbon-free electricity. He concludes by calling for a diversified and rational mix of electricity generation in order to mitigate the effects of the energy crisis. Throughout, the book is spiced with science, history, and anecdotes in a way that ensures rewarding reading without loss of rigor.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

L'analisi di sicurezza degli schemi crittografici, in passato, era spesso guidata dall'intuito e dall'esperienza. Nuovi schemi venivano ideati e, dopo qualche tempo, inevitabilmente, un nuovo attacco alla sicurezza veniva scoperto. Il paradigma della "sicurezza dimostrabile", introduce diverse tecniche per l'analisi formale di sicurezza dei crittosistemi: in questo modo è possibile fornire una dimostrazione matematica che un dato sistema è sicuro rispetto ad una certa classe di attaccanti (la più vasta possibile). Il libro ha lo scopo di guidare lo studente (oppure il giovane ricercatore) nel mondo crittografico, in modo che acquisisca le metodologie di base, preparandosi alla ricerca nell'area.
