Modern cryptanalysis: techniques for advanced code breaking

Description

"Christopher Swenson provides a foundation in traditional cryptanalysis, examines ciphers based on number theory, explores block ciphers, and teaches the basis of all modern cryptanalysis - linear and differential cryptanalysis. This time-honored weapon of warfare has become a key piece of artillery in the battle for information security."--book jacket. Abstract: Fighting new threats with an old weapon As an instructor at the University of Tulsa, Christopher Swenson could find no relevant text for teaching modern cryptanalysis. So he wrote his own. You are holding the first book that brings the study of cryptanalysis into the 21st century.  Read more... Content: Simple ciphers -- Number theoretical ciphers -- Factoring and discrete logarithms -- Block ciphers -- General cryptanalytic methods -- Linear cryptanalysis -- Differential cryptanalysis.
