Description:

Cryptography, secret writing, is probably as old as writing in general. Only recently
it has become the object of extensive scientific studies. Vast new applications to
data security constitute one explanation for this. Perhaps a still more important
reason for the huge growth of scientific research on cryptography is the seminal
idea of public-key cryptography and the resulting new vistas on the possibilities of
communication.
