It will be convenient to have before us an indication of the main topics covered in the book. The following outline contains only chapter and section headings but should adequately suggest the style and organization of the included material. 1. Synthetic geometry. Foundations. The axioms of projective geometry. Structure of projective geometry. Quotient geometries. Finite projective spaces. Affine geometries. Diagrams. Application: efficient communication. Exercises. 2. Analytic geometry. The projective space \(P(V)\). The theorems of Desargues and Pappus. Coordinates. The hyperbolic quadric of \(PG(3,F)\). Normal rational curves. The Moulton plane. Spatial geometries are Desarguesian. Application: a communication problem. Exercises. 3. The representation theorems, or good descriptions of projective and affine spaces. Central collineations. The group of translations. The division ring. The representation theorems. The representation theorems for collineations. Projective collineations. 4. Quadratic sets. Fundamental definitions. The index of a quadratic set. Quadratic sets in spaces of small dimension. Quadratic sets in finite projective spaces. Elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic quadratic sets. The Klein quadratic set. Quadratics. Plücker coordinates. Application: storage reduction for cryptographic keys. Exercises. 5. Applications of geometry to coding theory. Basic notions of coding theory. Linear codes. Hamming codes. MDS codes. Reed-Muller codes. Exercises. 6. Applications of geometry in cryptography. Basic notions of cryptography. Enciphering. Authentication. Secret sharing schemes. Exercises. This book is a comprehensive monograph devoted to foundations of classical projective and affine geometry as well as its applications in coding theory and cryptography. For the most part the book is concrete, well written, and self-contained. In addition, the book contains a number of interesting exercises. This book is an excellent reference for people interested in the applied aspects of projective geometry and finite fields.
