Excellent

At least for the chapters that were studied by this reviewer, the authors of this book give an effective introduction to the mathematical theory used in cryptography at a level that can be approached by an undergraduate senior in mathematics. The field of cryptography is vast of course, and a book of this size could not capture it effectively. The topics of primary importance are represented however, and the authors do a fine job of motivating and explaining the needed concepts.The authors give

Very readable and informative

The good: The writing is VERY good, with each concept presented cleanly and in a cheerful tone. Reading this book wasn't just informative. It was fun! I definitely plan to use it for my cryptography class next fall.The topics also proceed in a sensible order, both for self-study and for a class. It isn't an encyclopedia, covering all facts about modern cryptography. It's an undergraduate textbook, guiding you through the different areas of math that are related to modern cryptography and to eac

Very well written unlike most textbooks

I picked up this book to review before I recommend it to my team of system engineers. Most of the textbooks I review are a mess and seem to exist solely to egrandize the author and subidize a professor's lifestyle.This book is a refreshing departure. The book is both readable and provides sufficient background to provide context to the reader.Highly recommended.
