Emphasizing the fact that solid mathematics leads to solid applications, this book builds a mathematical foundation that includes topics in number theory and the theory of infinite fields. It includes time-locked versions of Scientific Notebook and MuPAD that will help professionals quickly get up to speed. Chapter topics cover integers and computer algebra, codes, Euclidean algorithm, ciphers, error control codes, Chinese remainder theorem, theorems of Fermat and Euler, public key ciphers, finite fields, error-correcting codes, advanced encryption standard, and polynomial algorithms and fast fourier transforms. For data security officers.

Using mathematical tools from number theory and finite fields, Applied Algebra: Codes, Ciphers, and Discrete Algorithms, Second Edition presents practical methods for solving problems in data security and data integrity. It is designed for an applied algebra course for students who have had prior classes in abstract or linear algebra. While the content has been reworked and improved, this edition continues to cover many algorithms that arise in cryptography and error-control codes. New to the Second Edition <ul>
<li>A CD-ROM containing an interactive version of the book that is powered by Scientific Notebook®, a mathematical word processor and easy-to-use computer algebra system</li> <li>New appendix that reviews prerequisite topics in algebra and number theory</li> <li>Double the number of exercises</li> </ul> Instead of a general study on finite groups, the book considers finite groups of permutations and develops just enough of the theory of finite fields to facilitate construction of the fields used for error-control codes and the Advanced Encryption Standard. It also deals with integers and polynomials. Explaining the mathematics as needed, this text thoroughly explores how mathematical techniques can be used to solve practical problems.
