A broad introduction to cryptography—what it is, how it really works, what its future holds, and why every informed citizen should understand its basics. We all keep secrets—from our gym locker codes to our email passwords to our online interactions. And we choose to share those secrets only with those whom we trust. So, too, do organizations, businesses, governments, and armies. In this fascinating book Cryptography, Panos Louridas provides a broad and accessible introduction to cryptography, the art and science of keeping and revealing secrets. Louridas explains just how cryptography works to keep our communications confidential, tracing it back all the way to its ancient roots. Then he follows its long and winding path to where we are today and reads the signs that point to where it may go tomorrow. A few years back, interest in cryptography was restricted to specialists. Today, as we all live our lives attuned to our digital footprint and the privacy issues it entails, it becomes more and more essential to have a basic understanding of cryptography and its applications to everyday life. Starting with classical cryptography, Cryptography takes the reader all the way up to the twenty-first century cryptographic applications that underpin our lives in the digital realm. Along the way, Louridas also explains concepts such as symmetric cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, cryptographic protocols and applications, and finally, quantum and post-Quantum cryptography as well as the links between cryptography and computer security.

This monograph proves that any finite random number sequence is represented by the multiplicative congruential (MC) way. It also shows that an MC random number generator (d, z) formed by the modulus d and the multiplier z should be selected by new regular simplex criteria to give random numbers an excellent disguise of independence. The new criteria prove further that excellent subgenerators (d1,z1) and (d2,z2) with coprime odd submoduli d1 and d2 form an excellent combined generator (d = d1d2,z) with high probability by Sunzi’s theorem of the 5th-6th centuries (China), contrasting the fact that such combinations could never be found with MC subgenerators selected in the 20th-century criteria. We restrict ourselves to problems of random numbers on computers. We are happy to see many simplifications. Numbers on computers are essentially integers in various sense. We thus need only integer sequences placed on discrete time points; the setting gives random numbers as the outcome of a huge dice thrown in computers at discrete times. Yet, we have still to discuss that the dice is fair and the throwing is not deceitful. We present here what we have found within this restricted circumstance. You will be surprised to see that Numbers, which existed from the beginning of this universe, seem to have prepared neat answers to the present computer problems.
