Release NotesDue to the rapid growth of digital communication and electronic data exchange,
information security has become a crucial issue in industry, business, and
administration. Modern cryptography provides essential techniques for securing
information and protecting data.

In the first part, this book covers the key concepts of cryptography on an
undergraduate level, from encryption and digital signatures to cryptographic
protocols. Essential techniques are demonstrated in protocols for key exchange,
user identification, electronic elections and digital cash. In the second part,
more advanced topics are addressed, such as the bit security of one-way
functions and computationally perfect pseudorandom bit generators. The security
of cryptographic schemes is a central topic. Typical examples of provably secure
encryption and signature schemes and their security proofs are given. Though
particular attention is given to the mathematical foundations, no special
background in mathematics is presumed. The necessary algebra, number theory and
probability theory are included in the appendix. Each chapter closes with a
collection of exercises.

The second edition contains corrections, revisions and new material, including a
complete description of the AES, an extended section on cryptographic hash
functions, a new section on random oracle proofs, and a new section on
public-key encryption schemes that are provably secure against
adaptively-chosen-ciphertext attack
