Recent Advances in RSA Cryptography surveys the most important
achievements of the last 22 years of research in RSA cryptography.
Special emphasis is laid on the description and analysis of proposed
attacks against the RSA cryptosystem. The first chapters introduce the
necessary background information on number theory, complexity and public
key cryptography. Subsequent chapters review factorization algorithms
and specific properties that make RSA attractive for cryptographers.
Most recent attacks against RSA are discussed in the third part of the
book (among them attacks against low-exponent RSA, Hastad's broadcast
attack, and Franklin-Reiter attacks). Finally, the last chapter reviews
the use of the RSA function in signature schemes.
Recent Advances in RSA Cryptography is of interest to graduate level
students and researchers who will gain an insight into current research
topics in the field and an overview of recent results in a unified
way.
Recent Advances in RSA Cryptography is suitable as a secondary text
for a graduate level course, and as a reference for researchers and
practitioners in industry.
