9.3. Recommended Reading and Web Sites

The recommended treatments of encryption listed in Chapter 3 cover public-key as well as symmetric encryption.

[DIFF88] describes in detail the several attempts to devise secure two-key cryptoalgorithms and the gradual evolution of a variety of protocols based on them. [CORM01] provides a concise but complete and readable summary of all of the algorithms relevant to the verification, computation, and cryptanalysis of RSA. [BONE99] discusses various cryptanalytic attacks on RSA. A more recent discussion is [SHAM03].
