Includes bibliographical references (pages 375-392) and index.

Classic ciphers -- World War II ciphers -- Stream ciphers -- Block ciphers -- Hash functions -- Public key systems -- Public key attacks.

The book is designed to be accessible to motivated IT professionals who want to learn more about the specific attacks covered. In particular, every effort has been made to keep the chapters independent, so if someone is interested in has function cryptanalysis or RSA timing attacks, they do not necessarily need to study all of the previous material in the text.
