Cryptographic Engineering is the first book to address design techniques and methods in this field. The material is sourced from journals and conference papers, as well as from the authors' lecture notes. This book represents a pioneering effort by leading cryptographic engineers to compile this information into a single volume, making it accessible to students of electrical engineering and computer science, as well as to engineers in the industry.

It is intended for a master's course in cryptographic engineering offered in the departments of electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science. Students should have a basic understanding of fundamental cryptographic algorithms before enrolling in this course, which will teach them how to design cryptographic hardware (FPGA, ASIC, custom solutions) and embedded software for secure systems.

Furthermore, engineers from the industry will find this book valuable for learning how to design cryptographic chips and embedded software. Individuals involved in the development of mobile phones, mobile computing, sensor systems, as well as web and enterprise security systems that rely on cryptographic hardware and software will benefit from the content. The book covers both fundamental and advanced design techniques for cryptography.
