This book povides an excellent bridge between two complex and closely inter-related subjects : mathematics, cryptography. Usually, books which aim to cover these two subjects, over-do one of the two aspects. In this book, we obtain a balanced view of the mathematical basis of various aspects of cryptography, starting from the basics and without any loss of rigour. The text includes several well-chosen examples and exercises, to complete the picture. Each Chapter has a collection of revision Problems, solutions to some of which, are also made available in the book.

This book is also a fine example of how books on mathematically profound subjects should be written. I found this book to be of immense use in my courses at Kathmandu University.

(This book was a gift from my son Parishram.)
