This first textbook on this important subject is suitable for both engineering and mathematics students.
Summary of the state-of-the-art in techniques to analyse and design practical iterative coding systems.
This work gives a compelling account of the officer who waged the intelligence battle against Napoleon's army, a forerunner to the great code-breakers of the 20th century. George Scovell used Spanish guerillas to capture coded French messages, and then set to work decrypting them.
Shows you how to safeguard digital possessions. This book is a practical guide to the essentials of computer cryptography. It explains secret keys and secret key methods like DES, public and private keys, and public key methods like RSA; how keys are distributed through digital certificates; and three real-world systems.
Provides an introduction to information and coding theory. This title focuses on information theory, covering uniquely decodable and instantaneous codes, Huffman coding, entropy, information channels, and Shannon's Fundamental Theorem.
This second volume addresses tremendous progress in elliptic curve cryptography since the first volume.
The proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Finite Fields and Applications look at the applications of finite fields, ranging from combinatorial design theory, finite geometries, and algebraic geometry to coding theory, cryptology, and scientific computing.
In this new approach, the authors consider the data network as a channel (in the sense of information theory) with several layers. Split into two sections, this book covers: PART 1 is mainly devoted to a review of coding theory and its applications.
This work reveals a host of previously untold stories about codes and codebreaking. Drawing on 1.5 million pages of US Army documents and 15,000 pages of top-secret messages sent to Tokyo from agents in Berlin, this book constructs a history of American codebreaking activity and its consequences.
The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography From the best-selling author of Fermat's Last Theorem, The Code Book is a history of man's urge to uncover the secrets of codes, from Egyptian puzzles to modern day computer encryptions.
Explains the basic methods of modern cryptography. This book is suitable for readers with only basic mathematical knowledge who are interested in modern cryptographic algorithms and their mathematical foundation.
Suitable for academic researchers and engineers working in the fields of communications and signal processing, this book provides a perspective on contemporary research in the areas of coding theory, information theory, and signal processing. It covers such topics as convolutional codes and turbo codes; detection and equalization; and modems.
Introduces turbo error correcting concept in a simple language, including a general theory and the algorithms for decoding turbo-like code. This title presents a unified framework for the design and analysis of turbo codes and LDPC codes and their decoding algorithms.
Constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptology and Information Security, ASIACRYPT 2007, held in Kuching, Malaysia, in December 2007.
Constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th Annual International Cryptology Conference, CRYPTO 2005, held in Santa Barbara, California, USA in August 2005. These papers are organized in topical sections on hash functions, theory, cryptanalysis, zero knowledge, anonymity, broadcast encryption, human-oriented cryptography, and more.
