Cryptography plays a crucial role in many aspects of today's world,
from internet banking and ecommerce to email and web-based business
processes. Understanding the principles on which it is based is an
important topic that requires a knowledge of both computational
complexity and a range of topics in pure mathematics. This book
provides that knowledge, combining an informal style with strong
proofs of the key results to provide an accessible introduction. It
includes many examples and exercises, and is based on a highly
successful course developed and taught over many years.
