Foundations of Cryptography Volume I Basic Tools (Paperback)

Description

Cryptography is concerned with the conceptualization, definition and construction of computing systems that address security concerns. This book presents a rigorous and systematic treatment of the foundational issues: defining cryptographic tasks and solving new cryptographic problems using existing tools. It focuses on the basic mathematical tools: computational difficulty (one-way functions), pseudorandomness and zero-knowledge proofs. Rather than describing ad-hoc approaches, this book emphasizes the clarification of fundamental concepts and the demonstration of the feasibility of solving cryptographic problems. It is suitable for use in a graduate course on cryptography and as a reference book for experts.

描述

密碼學關注解決安全問題的計算系統的概念化、定義和構建。本書提供了對基礎問題的嚴謹和系統化處理：定義密碼學任務並使用現有工具解決新的密碼學問題。它專注於基本的數學工具：計算困難（單向函數）、偽隨機性和零知識證明。本書強調澄清基本概念和演示解決密碼學問題的可行性，而不是描述特定的方法。它適用於研究生密碼學課程和專家的參考書。
