Multivariate Public Key Cryptosystems

By Dieter Schmidt, Jintai Ding, Jason E Gower, et al.

Book Overview

Multivariate public key cryptosystems (MPKC) is a fast-developing area in cryptography. This book systematically presents the subject matter for a broad audience and is the first book to focus on this exciting new topic. Written more from a computational perspective, the authors provide the necessary mathematical theory behind MPKC, and students with some previous exposure to abstract algebra will be well-prepared to read and understand the material. Information security experts in industry can use the book as a guide for understanding what is needed to implement these cryptosystems for practical applications, and researchers in both computer science and mathematics will find it a good starting point for exploring this new field. It is also suitable as a textbook for advanced-level students.
