Boolean functions are the building blocks of symmetric cryptographic systems. This book shows how Boolean functions are used in cryptography. It helps in the successful design or implementation of cryptographic algorithms or protocols using Boolean functions.[...]
Focuses on cross-fertilisations between stream ciphers and number theory. This work covers known connections between the two areas. It contains over thirty research problems for stimulating interactions between the two areas. It is written by leading researchers in stream ciphers and number theory.[...]
