Cryptography: Theory and Practice, Third Edition (Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications)

The textbook introduces various areas of cryptography to undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics and computer science. It covers classical cryptosystems, Shannon's approach to perfect secrecy, block ciphers and hash functions. Public-key cryptography, signature schemes and pseudo random number generators are also discussed in detail. Other chapters discuss key distribution and entity authentication. The book is geared toward serving as a class-room textbook with numerous solved examples and exercises. It genuinely deserves its reputation as an indispensable textbook for cryptography teaching.

This was a book for school so I don't have much to say about it. I think it explained things pretty well. I really enjoyed this course, but I for sure did not read the whole thing. As for the seller, book did not have any problems, came in good condition.

This textbook strikes a good balance between mathematics and explanation. The topics are organized in a clear and concise manner and the exercises test the concepts well.

I bought it for a school class and now I use it as reference material for work. It is one of the few books that survived the cut for me.

Purchased this for a class and found it very interesting and helpful. I got a lot out of this textbook and I recommend it for anyone looking to leran more on the subject.

I found the problems in this book were sometimes hard to follow. It sometimes makes assumptions that the step that follows is obvious.

purchased this book only to find out that it is unusable on my android device. so i have to read it on my windows pc or go out and by another device. since the drm prevents me from printing, this one may be getting returned.

I am a Cybersecurity student at SEMO and am using this as a reference book. Excellent condition when advertised as "very good". This is the textbook for one of my Spr13 classes.

I'm studying cryptography for my Master Degree on Computer Security, so I was looking for a formal and, at the same time, practical sort of book on this area. After too much pondering, a friend of mine recommended me this book, so I decided to give it a try. It is, no doubt, a classic on its own: it is easy to follow, even when your background in mathematics is long forgotten, and it is really practical with plenty of examples and solved exercises.I'll give it a 10 out of 10. ;-)

Great Book to start with cryptography.Mathematics is not explained in detail though so its difficult to follow through sometimes.I got the paperback version for Rs. 806

The book is good but I find it hard to understand. I think I should start to learn the introduction of cryptography, so I can understand it properly and learn more about it.

Clear exposition of cryptography theory...from the basics to more advanced concepts. It is a little technical so you need some mathematical background. If you're looking for a more basic treatment I suggest the "science of secrecy" by Singh which is a good book. This is a step up from that. This book is just clear and well written. Recommended.

Si no sabes nada sobre criptografía, este es un excelente libro para comenzar. Yo lo compré para tener referencias para mi tesis, pero definitivamente me gusta como material de apoyo si tuvieras un curso sobre el tema.Definitivamente lo volvería a comprar.
