Reviews

From the reviews: <p> The book is devoted to public key cryptography, whose principal goal is to allow two or more people to exchange confidential information a ] . The material is very well organized, and it is self-contained: no prerequisites in higher mathematics are needed. In fact, everything is explained and carefully covered a ] . there is abundance of examples and proposed exercises at the end of each chapter. a ] This book is ideal as a textbook for a course aimed at undergraduate mathematics or computer science students.
