{"product_id":"cryptography-made-simple-nigel-smart-9783319219356","title":"Cryptography Made Simple","description":"In this introductory textbook the author explains the key topics in cryptography. He takes a modern approach, where defining what is meant by \"secure\" is as important as creating something that achieves that goal, and security definitions are central to the discussion throughout.\u003cbr\u003eThe author balances a largely non-rigorous style -- many proofs are sketched only -- with appropriate formality and depth. For example, he uses the terminology of groups and finite fields so that the reader can understand both the latest academic research and \"real-world\" documents such as application programming interface descriptions and cryptographic standards. The text employs colour to distinguish between public and private information, and all chapters include summaries and suggestions for further reading.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a suitable textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, mathematics and engineering, and for self-study byprofessionals in information security. While the appendix summarizes most of the basic algebra and notation required, it is assumed that the reader has a basic knowledge of discrete mathematics, probability, and elementary calculus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nigel Smart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319219359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319219356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 481\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 1.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2016","brand":"Nigel Smart","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43940766417151,"sku":"9783319219356","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b1f1a174-3015-4fa4-a42e-b85ca57a16c5.jpg?v=1681449064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cryptography-made-simple-nigel-smart-9783319219356","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
