I have heard of the subject "Cryptography" but never looked much into it. But this summer, I thought is the best time to look into the subject and see if it will interest me.
In U.G, I did Cryptography chapter in Burton's book on Number theory and I was pretty much attracted to Cryptography.
Now having studied all the main parts of algebra, I was hoping to find the best book to look into the subject which an algebra guy would like. Please can anyone suggest me some book to do in this summer.
Koblitz, Algebraic Aspects of Cryptography, by the co-inventor of Elliptic Curve Cryptography is a good choice.
