Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"This companion exercise and solution book to A Classical Introduction to Cryptography … contains a carefully revised version of teaching material used by the authors and given as examinations to advanced level students of the Cryptography and Security Lecture at EPFL from 2000 to mid-2005. This book covers a majority of the subjects that make up today’s cryptography … . Exercises do not require an extensive background in mathematics, since the most important notions are introduced and discussed … ." (Cryptologia, Vol. 30, 2006)
