Classical and Contemporary Cryptology by Richard J Spillman

For courses in Cryptology, Computer Security, Information Security, and Network Security, offered in departments of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Business, or Mathematics. One of the core technologies that protects cyberspace, cryptology is also intellectually stimulating and fun. This is the only text available that combines classical and contemporary methods of cryptology with a historical perspective. Students are encouraged to explore their strengths and weaknesses as they experiment with various ciphers. Seamless integration between the text material and accompanying software package (CAP)–which enables students to experiment with the concepts discussed in the text–gives students insight into cryptology that they would not find elsewhere.

"This is a well-written textbook, one destined to become an undergraduate favorite in the fascinating and rewarding study of cryptology" — Atul Prakash, University of Michigan

"Dr. Spillman's Cryptographic Analysis Program, (CAP), is not only a fantastic teaching tool, it's very useful to the cryptanalyst as well. I've used it in teaching a practical security course for the last four years." — Scott Orr, Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis

Dr. Richard Spillman's interests range from computer security to artificial intelligence to digital hardware design. He has been teaching computer science and engineering courses for more than 20 years, first at the University of California at Davis and now at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma. While teaching, Dr. Spillman has also worked as a senior engineer at the Boeing Company and has consulted with several corporations and industry-related groups.
