While most books on cryptography assume extensive mathematical background, this book gives simpler explanations for factoring with elliptic curves and with false witnesses, mixed shift register sequences, finite automata, diophantine public key ciphers, feedforward sequences, spectral cryptanalysis, Ramanujan's partition functions, and cryptanalysis of the human genome. It offers self-contained, tutorial-style chapters with worked examples The author is affiliated with the Telecommunications Research Center at Bradford University,
