{"product_id":"9780521035361","title":"Foundations of Cryptography: Volume 1, Basic Tools","description":"\u003cp\u003eCryptography is concerned with the conceptualization, definition and construction of computing systems that address security concerns. The design of cryptographic systems must be based on firm foundations. This book presents a rigorous and systematic treatment of the foundational issues: defining cryptographic tasks and solving new cryptographic problems using existing tools. It focuses on the basic mathematical tools: computational difficulty (one-way functions), pseudorandomness and zero-knowledge proofs. The emphasis is on the clarification of fundamental concepts and on demonstrating the feasibility of solving cryptographic problems, rather than on describing ad-hoc approaches. The book is suitable for use in a graduate course on cryptography and as a reference book for experts. The author assumes basic familiarity with the design and analysis of algorithms; some knowledge of complexity theory and probability is also useful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oded Goldreich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52773844681022,"sku":"9780521035361","price":2778.57,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9780521035361.jpg?v=1766414909","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780521035361","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
