Assuming only a modest background in elementary number theory, groups, and fields, Elliptic Curves: Number Theory and Cryptography introduces both the cryptographic and number theoretic sides of elliptic curves, interweaving the theory of elliptic curves with their applications. By side-stepping algebraic geometry in favor of an approach based on basic formulas, this book, accessible at the senior undergraduate level, clearly demonstrates how elliptic curves are used and opens the...
More DescriptionAssuming only a modest background in elementary number theory, groups, and fields, Elliptic Curves: Number Theory and Cryptography introduces both the cryptographic and number theoretic sides of elliptic curves, interweaving the theory of elliptic curves with their applications. By side-stepping algebraic geometry in favor of an approach based on basic formulas, this book, accessible at the senior undergraduate level, clearly demonstrates how elliptic curves are used and opens the doors to higher-level studies. It offers a solid introduction to the mathematics and applications of elliptic curves that well prepares its readers to tackle the more advanced texts they will encounter.
