Cryptography: Theory and Practice, Third Edition (Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications) - Hardcover
Cryptography is an outstanding book that covers all the major areas of cryptography in a readable, mathematically precise form. Several chapters deal with especially active areas of research and give the reader a quick introduction and overview of the basic results in the area.
Cryptography provides the mathematical theory that is necessary in order to understand how the various systems work. Most algorithms are presented in the form of pseudocode, together with examples and informal discussion of the underlying ideas. The book gives careful and comprehensive treatment of all the essential core areas of cryptography. Also, several chapters present recent topics that have not received thorough treatment in previous textbooks. Such topics include authentication codes, secret sharing schemes, identification schemes, and key distribution.

Review:
Synopsis:
"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
Offers a treatment of the core areas of cryptography. Most algorithms are presented in the form of pseudocode in this textbook, together with examples and discussion of the underlying ideas. Topics discussed include secret sharing schemes, classical cryptography and key distribution.
