Book description
This book covers public-key cryptography, describing in depth all major
public-key cryptosystems in current use, including ElGamal, RSA,
Elliptic Curve, and digital signature schemes. It explains the
underlying mathematics needed to build these schemes, and examines the
most common techniques used in attacking them. Illustrated with many
examples, the book provides a solid foundation for professionals in
government, cloud service providers, and large enterprises using
public-key systems to secure their data. It is also useful for those
taking the CISSP exam (Certified Information Systems Security
Professional).
