Cryptography and Computational Number Theory

The fields of cryptography and computational number theory have recently witnessed a rapid development, which was the subject of the CCNT workshop in Singapore in November 1999. Its aim was to stimulate further research in information and computer security as well as the design and implementation of number theoretic cryptosystems and other related areas. Another achievement of the meeting was the collaboration of mathematicians, computer scientists, practical cryptographers and engineers in academia, industry and government. The present volume comprises a selection of refereed papers originating from this event, presenting either a survey of some area or original and new results. They concern many different aspects of the field such as theory, techniques, applications and practical experience. It provides a state-of-the-art report on some number theoretical issues of significance to cryptography.Lam, Kwok Yan is the author of 'Cryptography and Computational Number Theory' with ISBN 9783764365103 and ISBN 3764365102.
