This is exactly the kind of book on cryptography I need.
The book uses math & pseudocode to describe algorithms instead of using popular languages like Python or C/C++.
This makes it language agnostic. Code can be very opinionated in my opinion.
- davidmurdoch 5y agoI don't know mathematic notation well at all, but can easily reason about most code.
- eru 5y agoThey are different notations for different purposes. With some overlap. In some sense, programming languages are a mathematical notation, too.
