Crytpographic theory books?

29 Views Asked by At

I was reading a paper in communication mechanisms, and the tools that are used from the authors have been taken from cryptograpgy. If anyone have some time to check the paper nd see the proof of theorem $1$ in $6.1$ section, you can see from your own that they use cryptographic theory. Does anybody know any cryptography book where I could become more familiar with the notions of permutation, encryption and decryption from the mathematical point of view?
