Cryptographic Engineering ReviewWorking in the area of cryptography, one encounters two distinct schools of thinking. The first school is conducted by mathematicians who are usually interested in cryptographic theory and cryptographic algorithms. The implementation of these algorithms is of a secondary importance to this school of thinking style. Attack on an algorithm, as viewed by this school, is anything that breaks the algorithm faster than brute force even if this attack in some cases is totally impractical. One can call this type of attacks "mathematical attacks." The second school of thought, usually adopted by engineers, considers that an attack is successful if it is practical or at least will be practical in the foreseen future. Usually engineers are busy implementing algorithms using high-level programming languages such as C language or hardware description languages such as VHDL or Verilog languages. Their aim is to provide software and hardware implementations of a certain cryptographic algorithm. They are also thinking of probable side-channel attacks and other implementation-dependent attacks. Some controversy may arise between these two schools of thinking styles. The definition of an attack varies widely between a mathematician's and an engineer's perspectives.
The text provides an attempt to cover the theory and practice of cryptography from an engineering point of view. It includes ASIC and FPGA hardware cryptographic designs, a section on implementation of Random Number Generators, a discussion on known side-channel attacks and a section on public key cryptography.
This is one-of-a kind textbook that represents an early introduction to the subject of cryptographic engineering. Certainly, the material included can help practicing engineers and advanced students in this important area of research. The material introduced is based on research papers and has not matured enough to be taught in undergraduate classes. One of the reasons is that the set of end-of-chapter problems and exercises is incomplete. Moreover, some editorial effort is required for future editions. As an example in section 1.1: the author uses the phrase "She is also interested in..." to refer either to a cryptographic engineer or cryptographic systems.
In general, "Cryptographic Engineering" is a long-awaited text that is suitable for hardware and software engineers who are mainly interested in building secure systems rather than analyzing them.Cryptographic Engineering Overview
