Cryptanalysis of RSA and Its Variants

by M. Jason Hinek

Overview

Thirty years after RSA was first publicized, it remains an active research area. Although several good surveys exist, they are either slightly outdated or only focus on one type of attack. Offering an updated look at this field, Cryptanalysis of RSA and Its Variants presents the best known mathematical attacks on RSA and its main variants, includin

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

I enjoyed reading the book because the author is always caring about the different references that he used to write the text. This allows the reader to go further in his understanding of what is presented. … I was pleased by the way the author presented all the different attacks and variant of RSA. I would recommend this book for people who would like to know more about the RSA and more precisely about the difficulties of attacking this cryptosystem with mathematical techniques. … this book can be used as a base for building a complete course on RSAs cryptanalysis.
—Antoine Rojat, SIGACT News, December 2011

I can honestly recommend this book. It is written straightforward and is therefore easy to read. Every step is explained and original sources are given, so if you want to look deeper into the background of a certain problem, you can easily do that. … a substantiated overview over the current state of cryptanalysis of RSA. …
