Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book is an introduction to the algorithmic aspects of number theory and its applications to cryptography, with special emphasis on the RSA cryptosys-tem. It covers many of the familiar topics of elementary number theory, all with an algorithmic twist. The text also includes many interesting historical notes.
Bibliography: (pages 183-187) and indexes.
Introduction -- Fundamental algorithms -- Unique factorization -- Prime numbers -- Modular arithmetic -- Induction and Fermat -- Pseudoprimes -- Systems of congruences -- Groups -- Mersenne and Fermat -- Primality tests and primitive roots -- The RSA cryptosystem.
