Algebraic-Geometric Codes. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, June 2008, Pages: 52
Security of data by means of cryptography is becoming more and more important in many areas of our lives. Public-key cryptosystems (PKC) form an important part of cryptography as they allow convenient and secure communication between all users. The objective is to develop PKCs that provide a high level of security while being fast and easy to use.
The author Robert Niebuhr analyses the application of Algebraic-Geometric Codes (AGC) in Cryptographic Systems. Starting with a brief discussion of Algebraic Geometry and the general construction of PKCs, he shows how to use AGC including encoding, decoding and error-correction.
To demonstrate the concrete application he develops a Cryptosystem using the McEliece Scheme and evaluates its properties.
This book is a useful reference for students, professors, and everybody with some mathematical background and an interest in cryptography.
