The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to arithmetic topics, both ancient and modern, that have been at the center of interest in applications of number theory, particularly in cryptography. No background in algebra or number theory is assumed, and the book begins with a discussion of the basic number theory that is needed. The ...
This book is a text of mathematical logic on a sophisticated level, presenting the reader with several of the most significant discoveries of the last 10 to 15 years, including the independence of the continuum hypothesis, the Diophantine nature of enumerable sets and the impossibility of finding an algorithmic solution for certain problems. The ...
This is a textbook for a course (or self-instruction) in cryptography with emphasis on algebraic methods. The first half of the book is a self-contained informal introduction to areas of algebra, number theory, and computer science that are used in cryptography. Most of the material in the second half - "hidden monomial" systems, combinatorial ...
"Towards a Quarter-Century of Public Key Cryptography" brings together in one place important contributions and up-to-date research results in this fast moving area. "Towards a Quarter-Century of Public Key Cryptography" serves as an excellent reference, providing insight into some of the most challenging research issues in the field.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO '96, held in Santa Barbara, California, USA, in August 1996 under the sponsorship of the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR). The 30 revised full papers presented in the volume were selected from a total of 130 ...
The book starts with an elementary introduction to formal languages appealing to the intuition of working mathematicians and unencumbered by philosophical or normative prejudices such as those of constructivism or intuitionism. It proceeds to the Proof Theory and presents several highlights of Mathematical Logic of 20th century: GAdel's and Tarski ...
