Invitation to Cryptology

by Thomas H. Barr

Book Overview

This book introduces a wide range of up-to-date cryptological concepts along with the mathematical ideas that are behind them. The new and old are organized around a historical framework.

Progressive Smooth Learning

It's written in such a manner that someone with no cryptology knowledge can pick up and follow the text, and continue through smooth progressive chapters. I have only two years of my EE degree done, but i think anyone who can do arithmetic and has an interest in cryptology can read this book like a novel and take a good portion of it all with only reading and excercising with your brain. I read it and did all the exercises as well absolutely independently. I feel i have a solid grasp of all its content.
