The book begins by focusing on private-key cryptography, including an extensive treatment of private-key encryption, message authentication codes, and hash functions. The authors also present design principles for widely used stream ciphers and block ciphers including RC4, DES, and AES, plus provide provable constructions of stream ciphers and block ciphers from lower-level primitives. The second half of the book covers public-key cryptography, beginning with a self-contained introduction to the number theory needed to understand the RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and El Gamal cryptosystems (and others), followed by a thorough treatment of several standardized public-key encryption and digital signature schemes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntegrating a more practical perspective without sacrificing rigor, this widely anticipated \u003cb\u003eSecond Edition \u003c\/b\u003eoffers improved treatment of:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eStream ciphers and block ciphers, including modes of operation and design principles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAuthenticated encryption and secure communication sessions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHash functions, including hash-function applications and design principles \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAttacks on poorly implemented cryptography, including attacks on chained-CBC encryption, padding-oracle attacks, and timing attacks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe random-oracle model and its application to several standardized, widely used public-key encryption and signature schemes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eElliptic-curve cryptography and associated standards such as DSA\/ECDSA and DHIES\/ECIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eContaining updated exercises and worked examples, \u003cb\u003eIntroduction to Modern Cryptography, Second Edition\u003c\/b\u003e can serve as a textbook for undergraduate- or graduate-level courses in cryptography, a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners, or a general introduction suitable for self-study. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037642211568,"sku":"9781466570269","price":101.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466570269_p0.jpg?v=1763684973","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466570269","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
