Introduction to Security Reduction

by Fuchun Guo, Willy Susilo, Yi Mu

Overview

This monograph illustrates important notions in security reductions and essential techniques in security reductions for group-based cryptosystems. Using digital signatures and encryption as examples, the authors explain how to program correct security reductions for those cryptographic primitives. Various schemes are selected and re-proven in this book to demonstrate and exemplify correct security reductions.

This book is suitable for researchers and graduate students engaged with public-key cryptography.
