Free book about Cryptography

Cryptography, An Introduction
by Prof. N. P. Smart
Department of Computer Science, University of Bristol

Online Third Edition

Note: This is perfectly legal as the author himself has made the book available for download, on his own homepage: https://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/~nigel/

However, the book is in Postscript-format, not pdf, so if you want it in fx. pdf-format you will have to convert it first.

I have downloaded the book, converted it to pdf-format, and uploaded it to OneDrive:
Cryptography, An Introduction, 3rd edition, by Nigel Smart

Just click on the link, or enter the URL above in your browser, and the download should start automatically.
Note: it might take a few seconds (10-20) before it starts, just be patient ...
You might have to select the file "manually" by clicking on it...

Thanks for this, furthering (well, pretty much starting) my knowledge of Cryptography theory, has been on my 'to-do' list for a while.2 things that I already love:

• the author is literally 'Professor Smart'
• "An introduction" - 436 pages to be precise(!)

Also the preface for 2nd edition where McGrawHill, the previous publishers are dissed, made me smirk a little - I currently have one of their Java textbooks providing a little extra height to my monitor :)I tried clicking the 'thanks' button - but just got a generic "error has occurred" :huh:Anyhow, thanks also for the file conversion and hosting - very much appreciated!
