- suddensleep 5y agoI've worked through the entire Paar book (which is excellent), and I've made a number of attempts at getting through Boneh and Shoup (which is also excellent). I will say that there is a good overlap in content, but the Boneh/Shoup is solidly graduate-level, whereas Paar is a good and solid introduction for an undergraduate student.
- atilimcetin 5y agoAfter looking into the TOC of A Graduate Course in Applied Cryptography, I would say the contents of these two are pretty similar to each other.
- Ar-Curunir 5y agoNo, the textbook is much more focused on rigorous security definitions and proving security of primitives against these definitions.
