• The lecture is mostly based on
  • the Lecture notes by M. Bellare and S. Goldwasser, resp. P. Rogaway, and
  • Introduction to modern cryptography by J. Katz and Y. Lindell, Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2007 (see the library).
• A very comprehensive book on algebra, number theory and their computational aspects is
  • A Computational Introduction to Number Theory and Algebra by Victor Shoup (click the link for the free online version).
  • If you want to toy around with some groups, you might be interested in the "number theory library" by Victor Shoup.
• On Oded Goldreich's homepage you can find several draft versions of books by him on the more theoretical aspects of cryptography, in particular, on the study of cryptographic primitives:
  • Modern Cryptography, Probabilistic Proofs and Pseudorandomness (draft)
  • Foundations of Cryptography (drafts)
• A nice wiki for cryptography: CRYPTUTOR.
• If you want to see, how the cryptographic schemes discussed in the lecture are implemented in practice, have a look at the crypto++ library by Wei Dai.
