As an instructor at the University of Tulsa, Christopher Swenson could find no relevant text for teaching modern cryptanalysis?so he wrote his own. This is the first book that brings the study of cryptanalysis into the 21st century. 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.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This is a daring but far from consummate attempt to provide a text on "modern cryptanalysis". The material gathered from different sources may prove helpful to some of the newcomers in this area. A large part of the material presented is not on cryptanalysis but rather serves as an overview of basic cryptography.
