Wayne Patterson (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 084767438X | ISBN-13: 978-0847674381 | Publication Date: June 28, 1987

The author includes not only information about the most important advances in the field of cryptology of the past decade-such as the Data Encryption Standard (DES), public-key cryptology, and the RSA algorithm-but also the research results of the last three years: the Shamir, the Lagarias-Odlyzko, and the Brickell attacks on the Knapsack methods; the new Knapsack method using Galois fields by Chor and Rivest; and the recent analysis by Kaliski, Rivest, and Sherman of group-theoretic properties of the Data Encryption Standard (DES).

Editorial Reviews

Review

A nice feature of this book is the inclusion of Pascal programs for a variety of cryptosystems....Patterson's book is easy to read and provides the best introduction to modern public key cryptosystems. (The American Mathematical Monthly )

...the first comprehensive exposition of developments within the past six years in the area of public key cryptosystems. (The American Mathematical Monthly )
