Applied Algebra 'Codes, Ciphers and Discrete Algorithms, Second Edition'

Using mathematical tools from number theory and finite fields, this text presents practical methods for solving problems in data security and data integrity. It covers many algorithms that arise in cryptography and error-control codes. Along with doubling the number of exercises, this edition includes a new appendix that reviews prerequisite topics in algebra and number theory. The accompanying CD-ROM contains an interactive version of the book that is powered by Scientific Notebook ® , a mathematical word processor and easy-to-use computer algebra system. A solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.
