Mathematical Cryptology for Computer Scientists and Mathematicians
Patterson, Wayne. 1987. 312 pages.
Categories: Mathematics, Programming |
This was undoubtedly a top notch math-oriented introduction to cryptography back in 1987, but
today it is of course dated. Has the predilections typical of 80s crypto books -- namely
an emphasis on DES and in breaking Knapsacks. The author offers enough original ways
of looking at timeless topics so that the book often tends to nicely round out one's collection. All
of the code examples are in pascal. This is a book that should be updated and republished.
