As an instructor at the University of Tulsa, Christopher Swenson could find no relevant text for teaching modern cryptanalysis?so he wrote his own. This is the first book that brings the study of cryptanalysis into the 21st century. Swenson provides a foundation in traditional cryptanalysis, examines ciphers based on number theory, explores block ciphers, and teaches the basis of all modern cryptanalysis: linear and differential cryptanalysis. This time-honored weapon of warfare has become a key piece of artillery in the battle for information security.

作为塔尔萨大学的一名讲师，Christopher Swenson找不到有关现代密码分析教学的相关文本，所以他自己编写了。这是第一本将密码分析研究带入21世纪的书。Svson为传统密码分析提供了基础，研究了基于数论的密码，探索了分组密码，并教导了所有现代密码分析的基础：线性和差分密码分析。这一历史悠久的战争武器已成为信息安全战斗中的关键武器。
