Cryptographic Boolean Functions and Applications

Boolean functions are the building blocks of symmetric cryptographic systems. Symmetrical cryptographic algorithms are fundamental in all types of digital security systems (ie communications, financial and e-commerce).

Cryptographic Boolean Functions and Applications is a concise reference that shows how Boolean functions are used in cryptography. Currently, practitioners who need to apply Boolean functions in the design of cryptographic algorithms and protocols. This book compiles the key information in step-by-step reference.

Beginning with the basics of the book.

-Serves as a complete resource for the successful design or implementation of cryptographic algorithms or protocols using Boolean functions
-Provides engineers and scientists with Boolean functions in cryptography
-Addresses the issues of cryptographic Boolean functions and theories in one concentrated resource.
-Organized logically to help the lecture easily understand the topic
