Elliptic curve cryptosystems represent the state of the art for such  systems. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eElliptic Curves and Their Applications to Cryptography\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e: An\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/em\u003e provides a comprehensive and self-contained  introduction to elliptic curves and how they are employed to secure  public key cryptosystems. Even though the elegant mathematical theory  underlying cryptosystems is considerably more involved than for other  systems, this text requires the reader to have only an elementary  knowledge of basic algebra. The text nevertheless leads to problems at  the forefront of current research, featuring chapters on point  counting algorithms and security issues. The Adopted unifying approach  treats with equal care elliptic curves over fields of even  characteristic, which are especially suited for hardware  implementations, and curves over fields of odd characteristic, which  have traditionally received more attention. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eElliptic Curves and Their Applications: An Introduction\u003c\/em\u003e has been  used successfully for teaching advanced undergraduate courses. It will  be of greatest interest to mathematicians, computer scientists, and  engineers who are curious about elliptic curve cryptography in  practice, without losing the beauty of the underlying mathematics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461373728\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461373728\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5207-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 164\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358754926732,"sku":"9781461373728","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461373728.jpg?v=1755113412","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461373728","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
