Cryptography

Neal Koblitz

A chapter in Mathematics Unlimited — 2001 and Beyond, 2001, pp 749-769 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Broadly speaking, the term cryptography refers to a wide range of security issues in the transmission and safeguarding of information. Historically, the main use of cryptography was to encipher messages; but in recent years other tasks, such as digital signatures, have become at least as important as encryption.
