Download or read book Finite Fields with Applications to Combinatorics written by Kannan Soundararajan and published by American Mathematical Society. This book was released on 2022-11-09 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses finite field theory as a hook to introduce the reader to a range of ideas from algebra and number theory. It constructs all finite fields from scratch and shows that they are unique up to isomorphism. As a payoff, several combinatorial applications of finite fields are given: Sidon sets and perfect difference sets, de Bruijn sequences and a magic trick of Persi Diaconis, and the polynomial time algorithm for primality testing due to Agrawal, Kayal and Saxena. The book forms the basis for a one term intensive course with students meeting weekly for multiple lectures and a discussion session. Readers can expect to develop familiarity with ideas in algebra (groups, rings and fields), and elementary number theory, which would help with later classes where these are developed in greater detail. And they will enjoy seeing the AKS primality test application tying together the many disparate topics from the book. The pre-requisites for reading this book are minimal: familiarity with proof writing, some linear algebra, and one variable calculus is assumed. This book is aimed at incoming undergraduate students with a strong interest in mathematics or computer science.

Download or read book Infinite Algebraic Extensions of Finite Fields written by Joel V. Brawley and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1989 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last several decades there has been a renewed interest in finite field theory, partly as a result of important applications in a number of diverse areas such as electronic communications, coding theory, combinatorics, designs, finite geometries, cryptography, and other portions of discrete mathematics. In addition, a number of recent books have been devoted to the subject. Despite the resurgence in interest, it is not widely known that many results concerning finite fields have natural generalizations to abritrary algebraic extensions of finite fields. The purpose of this book is to describe these generalizations. After an introductory chapter surveying pertinent results about finite fields, the book describes the lattice structure of fields between the finite field $GF(q)$ and its algebraic closure $\Gamma (q)$. The authors introduce a notion, due to Steinitz, of an extended positive integer $N$ which includes each ordinary positive integer $n$ as a special case. With the aid of these Steinitz numbers, the algebraic extensions of $GF(q)$ are represented by symbols of the form $GF(q^N)$. When $N$ is an ordinary integer $n$, this notation agrees with the usual notation $GF(q^n)$ for a dimension $n$ extension of $GF(q)$. The authors then show that many of the finite field results concerning $GF(q^n)$ are also true for $GF(q^N)$. One chapter is devoted to giving explicit algorithms for computing in several of the infinite fields $GF(q^N)$ using the notion of an explicit basis for $GF(q^N)$ over $GF(q)$. Another chapter considers polynomials and polynomial-like functions on $GF(q^N)$ and contains a description of several classes of permutation polynomials, including the $q$-polynomials and the Dickson polynomials. Also included is a brief chapter describing two of many potential applications. Aimed at the level of a beginning graduate student or advanced undergraduate, this book could serve well as a supplementary text for a course in finite field theory.

Download or read book Handbook of Elliptic and Hyperelliptic Curve Cryptography written by Henri Cohen and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2005-07-19 with total page 843 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discrete logarithm problem based on elliptic and hyperelliptic curves has gained a lot of popularity as a cryptographic primitive. The main reason is that no subexponential algorithm for computing discrete logarithms on small genus curves is currently available, except in very special cases. Therefore curve-based cryptosystems require much smaller key sizes than RSA to attain the same security level. This makes them particularly attractive for implementations on memory-restricted devices like smart cards and in high-security applications. The Handbook of Elliptic and Hyperelliptic Curve Cryptography introduces the theory and algorithms involved in curve-based cryptography. After a very detailed exposition of the mathematical background, it provides ready-to-implement algorithms for the group operations and computation of pairings. It explores methods for point counting and constructing curves with the complex multiplication method and provides the algorithms in an explicit manner. It also surveys generic methods to compute discrete logarithms and details index calculus methods for hyperelliptic curves. For some special curves the discrete logarithm problem can be transferred to an easier one; the consequences are explained and suggestions for good choices are given. The authors present applications to protocols for discrete-logarithm-based systems (including bilinear structures) and explain the use of elliptic and hyperelliptic curves in factorization and primality proving. Two chapters explore their design and efficient implementations in smart cards. Practical and theoretical aspects of side-channel attacks and countermeasures and a chapter devoted to (pseudo-)random number generation round off the exposition. The broad coverage of all- important areas makes this book a complete handbook of elliptic and hyperelliptic curve cryptography and an invaluable reference to anyone interested in this exciting field.

Download or read book Handbook of Algebra written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1995-12-18 with total page 936 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Algebra defines algebra as consisting of many different ideas, concepts and results. Even the nonspecialist is likely to encounter most of these, either somewhere in the literature, disguised as a definition or a theorem or to hear about them and feel the need for more information. Each chapter of the book combines some of the features of both a graduate-level textbook and a research-level survey. This book is divided into eight sections. Section 1A focuses on linear algebra and discusses such concepts as matrix functions and equations and random matrices. Section 1B cover linear dependence and discusses matroids. Section 1D focuses on fields, Galois Theory, and algebraic number theory. Section 1F tackles generalizations of fields and related objects. Section 2A focuses on category theory, including the topos theory and categorical structures. Section 2B discusses homological algebra, cohomology, and cohomological methods in algebra. Section 3A focuses on commutative rings and algebras. Finally, Section 3B focuses on associative rings and algebras. This book will be of interest to mathematicians, logicians, and computer scientists.
