Cyptographic Algorithms
First published: 01 March 2007
Summary
Cryptographic algorithms are extremely important for secure communication over an insecure channel and have gained significant importance in modern day technology. First the basic concepts of cryptography are introduced. Then general principles, algorithms and designs for block ciphers, stream ciphers, public key cryptography, and protocol for key-agreement are presented in details. The algorithms largely use mathematical tools from algebra, number theory, and algebraic geometry and have been explained as and when required.
