Symmetric cryptology stands as one of the two fundamental pillars of cryptology, holding immense significance in the Information Age. Its applications are indispensable due to the remarkable efficiency of its constructions. This comprehensive two-volume book aims to serve two purposes. Firstly, it delves into the core concepts and principles employed in the design of symmetric primitives, their inner workings, and their most prominent constructions. Secondly, it offers detailed descriptions and insights into the most widely used cryptanalysis and proof techniques for assessing the security of these algorithms. Additionally, a selection of promising future directions, such as post-quantum security or the development of ciphers tailored for modern needs and specific applications, are explored.

We firmly believe that the two volumes of this work will captivate researchers, advanced students, and professionals alike, who are engaged in the study or practice of cryptography. It will also be of great value to cybersecurity experts seeking to stay abreast of the latest developments and advancements in the field.
