Book Description
From Book News, Inc.
Rather than presenting a series of ad hoc techniques, this book offers a systematic treatment of the basic issues of cryptography. It defines cryptographic tasks and solves new cryptographic problems using existing tools. The book
focuses on the basic mathematical issues, including computational difficulty, pseudo-randomness, and zero-knowledge proofs. It is intended as a graduate-level text, or as a reference for researchers. Goldreich teaches computer science at the Weizmann
Institute of Science.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Product Description:
Cryptography is concerned with the conceptualization, definition and construction of computing systems that address security concerns. This book presents a
rigorous and systematic treatment of the foundational issues: defining cryptographic tasks and solving new cryptographic problems using existing tools. It focuses on the basic mathematical tools: computational difficulty (one-way functions),
pseudorandomness and zero-knowledge proofs. Rather than describing ad-hoc approaches, this book emphasizes the clarification of fundamental concepts and the demonstration of the feasibility of solving cryptographic problems. It is suitable for use in a
graduate course on cryptography and as a reference book for experts.
