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, encompassing their inner workings and the most prominent constructions. Secondly, it offers detailed descriptions and insightful perspectives on the most widely used cryptanalysis and proof techniques for assessing the security of these algorithms. Additionally, the book explores a range of future directions, including post-quantum security and the development of ciphers tailored to modern needs and specific applications.

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.
