Cryptographic Applications of Analytic Number Theory

From the reviews: "Igor Shparlinski is a very prolific mathematician and computer scientist ... . The book is written at a very high level, suitable for graduate students and researchers in computer science and mathematics. ... book has a unique perspective, and is not really comparable to other books in the area. ... book contains many deep results, and the mathematically-sophisticated reader can find much that is novel. ... this is an impressive work that will be of significant interest to researchers in cryptography and algorithmic number theory."
