Introduction to cryptography with mathematical foundations and computer implementations - solutions manual

Intended for sophomore-level introductory courses in both mathematics and computer science, this text focuses on the central topics of cryptography and provides background material where necessary, including coverage of number theory. It is designed to accommodate various degrees of computer implementation, ranging from no computer usage, to using platform-independent applets, to writing programs. The text presents numerous worked-out examples, extensive end-of-chapter exercise sets, and additional exercises throughout. Appendices contain solutions and answers to most odd numbered exercises. The book's website offers downloadable applets as well as programs that are replete with explanatory comments.
