Description for Mathematical Ciphers: From Caesar to RSA (Mathematical World)
Paperback. A cipher is a scheme for creating coded messages for the secure exchange of information. This book develops various encryption schemes, and also introduces the reader to number theory. It places the study of integers and their properties in the context of cryptology. Series: Mathematical World. Num Pages: 159 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: 1KBB; GPJ; PBH. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 252 x 179 x 12. Weight in Grams: 306.
A cipher is a scheme for creating coded messages for the secure exchange of information. Throughout history, many different coding schemes have been devised. One of the oldest and simplest mathematical systems was used by Julius Caesar. This is where ""Mathematical Ciphers"" begins. Building on that simple system, Young moves on to more complicated schemes, ultimately ending with the RSA cipher, which is used to provide security for the Internet. This book is structured differently from most mathematics texts. It does not begin with a mathematical topic, but rather with a cipher. The mathematics is developed as it is needed; ... Read more
