Cryptology: Classical and Modern (Chapman & Hall/CRC Cryptography and Network Security Series) 2nd

Cryptology: Classical and Modern, Second Edition proficiently introduces readers to the fascinating field of cryptology. The book covers classical methods including substitution, transposition, Alberti, Vigenère, and Hill ciphers. It also includes coverage of the Enigma machine, Turing bombe, and Navajo code. Additionally, the book presents modern methods like RSA, ElGamal, and stream ciphers, as well as the Diffie-Hellman key exchange and Advanced Encryption Standard. When possible, the book details methods for breaking both classical and modern methods.

The new edition expands upon the material from the first edition which was oriented for students in non-technical fields. At the same time, the second edition supplements this material with new content that serves students in more technical fields as well. Thus, the second edition can be fully utilized by both technical and non-technical students at all levels of study. The authors include a wealth of material for a one-semester cryptology course, and research exercises that can be used for supplemental projects. Hints and answers to selected exercises are found at the end of the book.

Features:

• Requires no prior programming knowledge or background in college-level mathematics
• Illustrates the importance of cryptology in cultural and historical contexts, including the Enigma machine, Turing bombe, and Navajo code
• Gives straightforward explanations of the Advanced Encryption Standard, public-key ciphers, and message authentication
• Describes the implementation and cryptanalysis of classical ciphers, such as substitution, transposition, shift, affine, Alberti, Vigenère, and Hill

《密碼學：古典與現代，第二版》熟練地介紹了讀者進入迷人的密碼學領域。本書涵蓋了古典方法，包括替換、置換、阿爾貝蒂、維吉尼亞和希爾密碼。它還包括了恩尼格瑪機、圖靈炸彈和納瓦霍密碼的相關內容。此外，本書還介紹了現代方法，如RSA、ElGamal和流密碼，以及Diffie-Hellman密鑰交換和高級加密標準。在可能的情況下，本書詳細介紹了破解古典和現代方法的方法。

新版擴充了第一版的內容，第一版面向非技術領域的學生。同時，第二版還補充了更多的內容，以滿足更多技術領域的學生。因此，第二版可以被技術和非技術背景的學生在各個學習階段充分利用。作者提供了豐富的材料，適用於一學期的密碼學課程，並提供了可用於補充項目的研究練習。部分練習的提示和答案可在本書末尾找到。

特點：
- 不需要先前的編程知識或大學程度的數學背景
- 在文化和歷史背景下說明了密碼學的重要性，包括恩尼格瑪機、圖靈炸彈和納瓦霍密碼
- 簡單解釋了高級加密標準、公鑰密碼和消息驗證的重要性
