Features appendices that contain tabular material including class numbers of real and complex quadratic fields up to 104; class group structures; and, fundamental units of real quadratic fields.

Bringing the material up to date to reflect modern applications, this second edition has been completely rewritten and reorganized to incorporate a new style, methodology, and presentation. It offers a more complete and involved treatment of Galois theory, a more comprehensive section on Pollard's cubic factoring algorithm, and more detailed explanations of proofs to provide a sound understanding of challenging material. This edition also studies binary quadratic forms and compares the ideal and form class groups. The text includes convenient cross-referencing, a comprehensive index, and numerous exercises and applications.

Features fundamental material, including partition theory, generating functions, and combinatorial number theory. This work offers coverage of random number generation, Diophantine analysis, and additive number theory. It also includes more applications to cryptography, primality testing, and factoring.

Explores the depth and breadth of the field of cryptology. This title begins by tracing the development of cryptology from inception to modern-day practice. It also explores the modern aspects and applications of cryptography, covering symmetric- and public-key cryptography, cryptographic protocols, key management, and advanced applications.
