A Graduate Course in Applied Cryptography

Authors: D. Boneh and Victor Shoup

Abstract:
The book is divided into three parts. The first part develops symmetric encryption which explains how two parties, Alice and Bob, can securely exchange information when they have a shared key unknown to the attacker. The second part develops the concepts of public-key encryption and digital signatures, which allows Alice and Bob to do the same, but without having a shared, secret key. The third part is about cryptographic protocols, such as protocols for user identification, key exchange, and secure computation.
