Bücher von Serge Vaudenay

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptographic Techniques in Africa, AFRICACRYPT 2011, held in Ifrane, Morocco, in July 2012. The 24 papers presented together with abstracts of 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 56 submissions. They are organized in topical sections on signature schemes, stream ciphers, applications of information theory, block ciphers, network security protocols, public-key cryptography, cryptanalysis of hash functions, hash functions: design and implementation, algorithms for public-key cryptography, and cryptographic protocols.

Covers a majority of the subjects that make up cryptology, including symmetric or public-key cryptography, cryptographic protocols, design, cryptanalysis, and implementation of cryptosystems. Exercises related to the more advanced parts of the textbook are marked with a star.

Introduces fundamentals of information and communication security by providing appropriate mathematical concepts to prove or break the security of cryptographic schemes. This textbook covers conventional cryptographic primitives and cryptanalysis of these primitives; basic algebra and number theory for cryptologists; and more.
