Public-Key Cryptography

Public-Key Cryptography Arto Salomaa
Cryptography, secret writing, is probably as old as writing in general. Only recently
it has become the object of extensive scientific studies. Vast new applications to
data security constitute one explanation for this. Perhaps a still more important
reason for the huge growth of scientific research on cryptography is the seminal
idea of public-key cryptography and the resulting new vistas on the possibilities of
communication.
This book presents a view on public-key cryptography with classical cryptography
as the starting point. An attempt has been made to cover some of the most
recent developments and present novel features. The plaintext examples constitute
a package of basic sauna knowledge. Categories:
