Description
Cryptography Made Simple by Nigel Smart provides a modern introduction to the key topics in cryptography. The author's approach balances rigor and accessibility, making it suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as professionals in information security. The text covers essential concepts using terminology from groups and finite fields, allowing readers to understand both academic research and real-world applications. Colour is used to distinguish between public and private information, with summaries and suggestions for further reading included at the end of each chapter. This textbook assumes a basic knowledge of discrete mathematics, probability, and elementary calculus, but provides an appendix summarising the necessary algebra and notation.
