THE LEGACY…
First introduced in 1995, Cryptography: Theory and Practice garnered enormous praise and popularity, and soon became the standard textbook for cryptography courses around the world. The second edition was equally embraced, and enjoys status as a perennial bestseller. Now in its third edition, this authoritative text continues to provide a solid foundation for future breakthroughs in cryptography.

WHY A THIRD EDITION?

The art and science of cryptography has been evolving for thousands of years. Now, with unprecedented amounts of information circling the globe, we must be prepared to face new threats and employ new encryption schemes on an ongoing basis. This edition updates relevant chapters with the latest advances and includes seven additional chapters covering:

Pseudorandom bit generation in cryptography

Entity authentication, including schemes built from primitives and special purpose "zero-knowledge" schemes

Key establishment including key distribution and protocols for key agreement, both with a greater emphasis on security models and proofs

Public key infrastructure, including identity-based cryptography

Secret sharing schemes

Multicast security, including broadcast encryption and copyright protection

THE RESULT…

Providing mathematical background in a "just-in-time" fashion, informal descriptions of cryptosystems along with more precise pseudocode, and a host of numerical examples and exercises, Cryptography: Theory and Practice, Third Edition offers comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the methods and protocols that are vital to safeguarding the mind-boggling amount of information circulating around the world.

Cr�ticas

"It is by far the most suitable text for undergraduate and graduate courses on the subject in mathematics and computer science departments. Besides having breadth and scope in the choice of topics, many of them are dealt with in much more depth than what can be found elsewhere at this level . . . If you really want to learn some cryptography this is probably the best available text."

– Peter Shiu, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Loughborough University, in The Mathematical Gazette, March 2007

". . . the book is very well suited for a course in crypotography."

– Bran van Asch, in Mathematical Reviews, 2007f
