Cryptography and Computational Number Theory

by Kwok-Yan Lam

The fields of cryptography and computational number theory have recently witnessed a rapid development, which was the subject of the CCNT workshop in Singapore in November 1999. Its aim was to stimulate further research in information and computer security as well as the design and implementation of number theoretic cryptosystems and other related areas. Another achievement of the meeting was the collaboration of mathematicians, computer scientists, practical cryptographers and engineers in academia, industry and government. The present volume comprises a selection of refereed papers...
