Introduction to Modern Cryptography

This book is a comprehensive, rigorous introduction to what the authors name “Modern” Cryptography, or in other words, the science — rather than the art — of cryptography, relying on: concrete definitions of security; formal, precise, as-few-as-possible assumptions; and rigorous proofs of security. In itself, this definition-based structure represents a novel approach to how cryptography is tau...

Introduction to Modern Cryptography

Forewords This book contains a set of lecture notes that I wrote for an offering of a " Topics in Cryptography " course at Columbia University, in the Spring 1999. It is not clear what use one can make of these notes. The main purpose was to integrate the treatment of the Goldwasser-Bellare lecture notes with some additional proofs, without getting into the level of rigor of Goldreich's book. I...

Introduction to Plasma Physics

These notes are intended to provide a brief primer in plasma physics, introducing common definitions, basic properties, and typical processes found in plasmas. These concepts are inherent in contemporary plasma-based accelerator schemes, and thus provide a foundation for the more advanced expositions that follow in this volume. No prior knowledge of plasma physics is required, but the reader is...
