Proof techniques in cryptography are very difficult to understand, even for students or researchers who major in cryptography. In addition, in contrast to the excessive emphases on the security proofs of the cryptographic schemes, practical aspects of them have received comparatively less attention. This book addresses these two issues by providing detailed, structured proofs and demonstrating examples, applications and implementations of the schemes, so that students and practitioners may obtain a practical view of the schemes.
