This comprehensive open-access book delves into the intricate realm of cryptographic systems, encompassing a wide range of topics. It systematically explores the statistical characteristics of cryptographic protocols, delving into the computational complexity theory of cryptographic algorithms. The foundation of this theory lies in technology, drawing upon Shannon's information theory. The book provides a systematic introduction to information theory, statistical properties, and computational complexity theory in public key cryptography, with a specific focus on the three primary algorithms: RSA, discrete logarithm, and elliptic curve cryptosystems. Its primary objective is to clarify the nature and significance of these algorithms. Moreover, this book excels in systematically simplifying and combing the theory and technology of lattice cryptography, a remarkable feature that sets it apart. It assumes a solid foundation in algebra, number theory, and probability statistics, making it accessible to readers with a deep understanding of these mathematical disciplines. This book is particularly valuable for senior students majoring in mathematics, as it is a compulsory text for courses in cryptography and science and engineering postgraduates. Furthermore, it serves as an essential reference book for researchers and practitioners in the fields of cryptography and cryptographic engineering.
