A Graduate Course in Applied Cryptography [pdf]
- chrisfosterelli 11y agoThis looks great! Anyone know if there is a more ebook-friendly version?
- mdaniel 11y agoI have two answers, the best one and the immediate one. The best course is to reach out to the authors and see if they will publish the LaTeX that it was used to produce that PDF (or, of course, see if LaTeX is epub aware or such). The immediate answer to your question is that I only just now tried pdf2htmlEX (https://coolwanglu.github.io/pdf2htmlEX/ https://coolwanglu.github.io/pdf2htmlEX/) and was stunned how good it was. If you are on OSX, one can "brew install pdf2htmlex" your way to happiness. Don't get me wrong: exporting to HTML is a long way from "ebook-friendly" but I feel it is close to the spirit of your question. Please report back if they authors do agree, as I'm sure you're not the only one interested.
- nicolasehrhardt 11y agoDan Boney is awesome. I really like that he is sharing his classes and materials online (I would highly recommend his classes in Stanford[0] and his coursera class[2] as well). I think this is still a work in progress / draft so don't expect to have an ebook available yet. [1] CS*55 series [2] https://www.coursera.org/course/crypto2 https://www.coursera.org/course/crypto2
- tga_d 11y agoThat Coursera link should be https://www.coursera.org/course/crypto https://www.coursera.org/course/crypto The first course happens regularly, while "part 2" has been "2 months away" for at least a year now.
- jessaustin 11y agoI signed up for that years ago, after enjoying crypto 1. Has 2 ever taken place?
- sigjuice 11y agoNo.
- lisper 11y agoThat's "Boneh", not "Boney." (It means "builder" in Hebrew.)
- nicolasehrhardt 11y agoThat was actually a typo, but thanks for the translation. And apologies...
- brayton 11y agoAnyone know of any more beginner friendly cryptography materials?
- misiti3780 11y agohere you go: https://www.crypto101.io/ https://www.crypto101.io/
- w23j 11y agoWow, that looks great. Thanks a lot for the link.

- baby 11y agoThis is awesome! But it's 400 pages and part II and III are not present :| Also I find the structure kind of odd. I is symmetric, II asymmetric and III protocols. Where do you put lattices, ZKP, lattices, FHE... Another thing that bugged me: in the Integrity chapter they talk about MAC. Whereas they should talk about hashes, MAC provide integrity + authentication. This is a common misconception that integrity is enough to protect against a MITM, whereas no you also need authentication. I'm sure this could lead to people just using a hash to secure their data in transit.
- eximius 11y agoThe only lattice methods that come to mind are asymmetric (subset sum and NTRU). What symmetric latticr methods are there?
- baby 11y agoI was also thinking of lattice in Cryptanalysis but I guess this is a book about Cryptography not Crypta
- Todd 11y agoFrom the Preface: The current draft only contains part I. Parts II and III are forthcoming.
- baby 11y agoI know. I'm just pointing at the fact that this is already a lot of pages just for a third of the book.
- eugenekolo2 11y agoIs page 20 where it says D(k, m):= k xor c a typo? Should be D(k,c) if I'm following it the following paragraphs. c is the ciphertext.
- baby 11y agoyup it's a typo
- ziyao_w 11y agoFor those who are interested in number theory and its computational aspects, Victor Shoup (co-author of Dan Boneh for this book) also has another awesome book - http://www.shoup.net/ntb/ http://www.shoup.net/ntb/.
- dark_knight3141 11y agobitcoin is missing in the contents ? Maybe add as application of cryptography / case study
