Security of Block Ciphers - (IEEE Press) by Kazuo Sakiyama & Yu Sasaki & Yang Li (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

• Written by authors known within the academic cryptography community, this book presents the latest developments in current research
• Unique in its combination of both algorithmic-level design and hardware-level implementation; this all-round approach - algorithm to implementation - covers security from start to completion
• Deals with AES (Advanced Encryption standard), one of the most used symmetric-key ciphers, which helps the reader to learn the fundamental theory of cryptanalysis and practical applications of side-channel analysis
