The Joy of Cryptography: An Undergraduate Course in Provable Security
暫譯: 密碼學的樂趣：可證安全性的本科課程

This accessible textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the algorithms that keep our digital lives safe--how they work, what makes them different, and why they are secure. Mike Rosulek focuses on provable security--the process of defining what it means to be secure and mathematically proving security properties--to demystify the study of cryptography. Writing with clarity and humor, Rosulek covers basic building blocks before moving to symmetric-key encryption and authentication, public-key cryptography, and advanced topics. Employing a novel pseudocode-based approach to learning provable security and security proofs, The Joy of Cryptography empowers anyone with a small amount of programming experience to reason formally about security properties.

• Uses pseudocode-based reasoning to make provable security accessible to undergraduates
• Focuses on proven methods used in practice today
• Offers rigorous treatment of symmetric-key and public-key encryption and authentication
• Includes advanced material on encrypted messaging, post-quantum cryptography, and zero-knowledge proofs
• Features ancillary resources
