„This is a book of great pedagogical value. . . The book is a bright exposition of the mathematical methods most used in public key cryptography, and it is very motivating due to its numerous computational examples and rigorous treatment.“ (Zentralblatt MATH, 1 August 2013)
„The book is suitable as a university text for years three and above, and I recommend that every computer scientist read it. I would be inclined to describe this book as offering “what every computer scientist should know about public key cryptography." (Computing Reviews, 9 September 2013)

Applications and Attacks

von Lynn Margaret Batten

This book covers public-key cryptography, describing in depth all major public-key cryptosystems in current use, including ElGamal, RSA, Elliptic Curve, and digital signature schemes. It explains the underlying mathematics needed to build these schemes, and examines the most common techniques used in attacking them. Illustrated with many examples, the book provides a solid foundation for professionals in government, cloud service providers, and large enterprises using public-key systems to secure their data. It is also useful for those taking the CISSP exam (Certified Information Systems Security Professional).
