A classical introduction to cryptography exercise book.
Algebraic coding theory; cryptography (number-theoretic aspects) (11T71) Data encryption (aspects in computer science) (68P25) Introductory exposition (textbooks, tutorial papers, etc.) pertaining to information and communication theory (94-01) Cryptography (94A60) Authentication, digital signatures and secret sharing (94A62)
The book under review is the exercise book of \textit{S. Vaudenay} [A classical introduction to cryptography: Applications for communications security. New York: Springer (2006; Zbl 1085.94002)]. A basic background in discrete mathematics, calculus, algebra, and computer science is assumed by the authors. The difficulty of the exercises covers a broad spectrum. In some the student is expected to simply apply basic facts, while in others more intuition and reflexion will be necessary to find a solution. The solutions accompanying the exercises are clearly presented. The exercises cover all the relevant topics in cryptology such as symmetric and public-key cryptography, design, cryptanalysis, algorithmic number theory, digital signatures, and cryptographic protocols.
