"This book explains the mathematical foundations of public key cryptography in a mathematically correct and thorough way without omitting important practicalities. . I would like to emphasize that the book is very well written and quite clear. Topics are well motivated, and there are a good number of examples and nicely chosen exercises. To me, this book is still the first-choice introduction to public-key cryptography." (Klaus Galensa, Computing Reviews, March, 2015)
"This is a text for an upper undergraduate/lower graduate course in mathematical cryptography. . It is very well written and quite clear. Topics are well-motivated, and there are a good number of examples and nicely chosen exercises. . An instructor of a fairly sophisticated undergraduate course in cryptography who wants to emphasize public key cryptography should definitely take a look at this book." (Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews, October, 2014)More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
