Although much literature exists on the subject of RSA and public-key cryptography, there is no single source that reveals recent developments in the area. This book provides a rigorous and detailed treatment of public-key cryptography (PKC), from RSA, the first public key system devised in 1978, to the latest applications of PKC, including electronic cash, secret broadcasting, secret balloting systems, various banking and payment protocols, high security logins, smart cards, and biometrics. Accessible to anyone from the senior undergraduate to the research scientist, RSA and Public-Key Cryptography offers challenging and inspirational data for all readers.
