Infos

This book covers everything you need to know to write professional-level cryptographic code. This expanded, improved second edition includes about 100 pages of additional material as well as numerous improvements to the original text. The chapter about random number generation has been completely rewritten, and the latest cryptographic techniques are covered in detail. Furthermore, this book covers the recent improvements in primality testing.

Michael Welschenbach works for SRC Security Research & Consulting GmbH in Bonn, Germany. He graduated with a master's degree in mathematics from the University of Cologne, and has extensive experience in both pure and applied cryptological research. Currently, his favorite programming languages are C and C++. When not working, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons, programming, reading, and playing music.
