Simple ciphers -- Number theoretical ciphers -- Factoring and discrete logarithms -- Block ciphers -- General cryptanalytic methods -- Linear cryptanalysis -- Differential cryptanalysis
Summary
"Christopher Swenson provides a foundation in traditional cryptanalysis, examines ciphers based on number theory, explores block ciphers, and teaches the basis of all modern cryptanalysis - linear and differential cryptanalysis. This time-honored weapon of warfare has become a key piece of artillery in the battle for information security."--Jacket
